I'm really going to miss this place when they close this summer. I love the tropical vacation vibes. The food is always enjoyable. We got the Stuffed Plantain Bowl and the fish tacos. We also got the conch fritters for an appetizer. The tacos were a bit fishy but the bowl was sweet and tasty. I enjoyed the fritters as well. Service was good. Waitress was sweet. read more

Upon learning that all Bahama Breeze locations will eventually be phased out this year, the news didn't surprise me. I had not been to one in years and I couldn't conjure up any must-have menu items. I probably was a fan when they first opened, delighting in the island food and vibe, but over time didn't go much. My recent visit, however, was enlightening. I was lured there by $2.22 margaritas on National Margarita Day and music bingo. Sitting outside on the patio was nice, with the exception of a tattered booth cushion at our table. Service was efficient and friendly. My Coconut Shrimp Tacos with rice and beans were really tasty. Those house margaritas are no joke, as well. Definitely feeling fine after a few of those. I plan to return before Bahama Breeze officially bids farewell. Sounds like it could be a couple more months. read more

Love this restaurant!!! The vibe is always good and the food is always fantastic. We don't live close to any Bahama Breeze locations so when we are near, we always go. They've recently changed the jerk shrimp pineapple bowl to the jerk chicken instead. It's still yummy but I did prefer the shrimp. We also got the jerk shrimp appetizer, which is probably the best thing on the entire menu. We were there on a super busy night so the food was slow in coming but service was still excellent and friendly. Bathrooms were clean but maybe a bit small for a restaurant of that size (especially with all of the tasty alcoholic beverages they offer). read more

Bahama Breeze has always been one of my favorite spots. My past visit was a little disappointing. The beef empanadas are always on point. Those are my favorite!!! My firecracker shrimp was just ok this time. They tasted alittle rubbery. I ordered a Moscato Sangria like I have done many times. This time my drink tasted like water. I mentioned it to my waitress and she advised its topped off with Sprite. The Sprite had to be flat or something because the drink was not great. She didnt offer to replace it so I ordered another one. It was the same. Yes I paid for 2 bad drinks!! I will be sure to pass on that next time. Bahama Breeze is always a good vibe to go and catch up with friends. Also who doesn't love their happy hour with half price appetizers!! Its a shame they are closing soon. I hope to have a better experience next time because I will be back!! read more

Recently stopped by this Bahama Breeze location for their late night happy hour (10pm-close) and boy... it did not disappoint! I haven't been to this location for years but it looked exactly as I remembered. When we first walked in we were greeted and seated almost immediately out in the patio per our request. Since it was a late night weekday, it was nice and quiet. The patio seating was quite spacious and our server was very attentive! For late night happy hour we took advantage of the discounted drinks and the half priced appetizers! For drinks I got the mojito cubano. The mojito was nice and refreshing but was just a tad bit on the sweeter side for my taste. For food we opted for the beef empanadas, coconut shrimp, yucca cheese sticks, and the jerk chicken wings. I thoroughly enjoyed every single one those appetizers! The standouts for me definitely had to be the infamous coconut shrimp and the jerk chicken... both were out of this world. Overall, I have to say that the late night happy hour is such a great deal! With the amount of food that we ordered I thought that it was such a good bang for your buck. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Loved the empanadas! I'll start there! They came out hot and fresh! I love the salsa and cream based dips! The salsa is sweet and the cream dip is a nice compliment to the heat of the empanada. I ordered the Jamaican stuffed plantain bowl. The flavor was overshadowed by the amount of salt used. It was very salty! My painkiller was delicious but lacked any actual liquor... didn't appreciate that at all especially when you pay for the liquor. The restaurant has seating inside and outside. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The service was good. We enjoyed the scenery and the seating as we sat in the booth. It was spacious, colorful and comfortable. Inside the restaurant was a bit gloomy and had dark decor. I prefer the outdoor seating. Overall it was a good experience! read more

Great time at Bahama Breeze this last Wednesday evening. We stopped into the bar for Happy Hour before an event we had in the area. The bartender was very nice and personable, really had great service! Happy hour was from 5-6 and he even honored the pricing a few minutes after when we wanted a second drink! Apps are half price during HH and the drinks are discounted . I had the mule which was delicious! Made very well. For apps we did the firecracker shrimp and the spinach dip. Both were great! For dinner we did the half portion of the Jerk Chicken pasta. That as fabulous! Really liked the flavor. It did take a while to come out though, longer than it should have, We had to run, bartender brought us boxes right away. Although I was able to finish mine quickly!! Overall, pleasurable experience at the Bahama Breeze! read more

Used to love Bahama Breeze, but like all chain restaurants that start out good, its food quality has definitely gone down. I keep trying new things thinking I'm just ordering the wrong things, but keep being disappointed. The paella was less than stellar last time and this time I had the new snapper menu item. It was pretty to look at, but the fish itself was only half edible. The under part was all dark fishy tasting meat I could not eat. The veggies and sauce were good. The only consistently good items are the jerk chicken pasta, plantain bowl, the salmon, and the beef empanadas. The red wine tasted like the bottles had been open for a while, barely drinkable. The ultimate pina colada is still excellent. The outside patio dining was nice when the weather is cooler. Our server, Savannah, was very friendly and pleasant, but I think she was over worked. Not sure when or if I'll be back. read more

Happy Hour at Bahama Breeze was a great option for our work happy hour. They accommodated a large group of 25+ people. The staff ensured we were seating quickly and promptly brought our drinks and food out as well! The drinks were priced from 5-12 dollars depending on your preference and all appetizers were 1/2 off! The only complaint I had was the automatic heaters were not able to be shut off so it was extremely hot even though we were outside. Other than that, it was an amazing experience! read more

Ahhh Bahama Breeze. I always end up getting the Jerk Chicken Pasta and it never disappoints. All our meals were amazing, no complaints! The waitress was very funny, helpful, and honest we loved her! That being said the staff have good knowledge on the menu and kept the conversation uncomplicated and calm. I love theme so this was a plus considering the atmosphere of a beach vacation. This meal left my family full, satisfied, AND with delicious leftovers! read more

We have been frequenting the Bahama Breeze Restaurant in Altamonte Springs for many years. The ambience is so relaxing and has that true island atmosphere. The food is always consistently wonderful. The presentation of the food is always consistently pleasing. Their prices are very reasonable. The service is consistently excellent; friendly, and well-timed. The only con I have is, this is an island atmosphere; therefore Mexican and country music here needs to stop! If I want to hear Mexican music, I'll dine at a Mexican restaurant. If I want to hear country music, I'll go to The Barn in Sanford. Please stick with the fun island music read more

We had a great time at Bahama Breeze! I had a margarita flight (the dragon berry was my fav but all were great), shared empanadas, and for dinner I had the jerk chicken and my mom had the shrimp pineapple bowl. The empanadas were good but please note they had curry in them. We're not huge curry fans but the empanadas went so well with the pineapple salsa. I really enjoyed the Jamaican jerk chicken- it was a tad spicy! The beans were good, but the rice was a little dry. My waiter was kind enough to sub tostones which were great! Mom loved everything about the shrimp pineapple bowl! Also it was really pretty. We had the best server and I feel terrible I failed to remember his name. We'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I would like to preface this review by saying I only ever go to Bahama Breeze for their happy hour. Regular menu is fine but not enough to make me come back again and again. I love their happy hour menu with cheap delicious drinks and half off appetizers. The appetizers are all super delicious, we always get about 6 and just split between the two of us for a fun date night with lots of variety. So do yourself a favor and go to Bahama Breeze on Monday-Friday between 4-6 or Sunday-Thursday from 10-close. This location always appears clean and service is always great, will return! read more

Honestly have never had the best experience here but the service is good so I continue to give it a try... this time the appetizers were really good, we had the beef empanadas and jerk skillet would recommend both but it went downhill from there. I ordered the churrasco and it was pretty bad, over cooked and had zero flavor. The only thing they consistently can get right is the drinks other than that pretty mid in my opinion. read more

We used to love Bahamas Breeze, but the service and quality have really gone downhill. Our food came out late, and when it finally did, it was disappointing. How do you undercook a Cuban sandwich? The chicken tostones had some kind of mystery spice that made them inedible -- we didn't even bother eating them. Our waitress rarely checked in, and we had to ask for our check just to leave. We also noticed it wasn't just our table -- the whole place was running slow and everyone seemed frustrated. It's really sad because this used to be one of our favorite spots. read more

The service here was great and our waitress was very helpful and kind. The ambiance is a nice, though a bit loud and dark inside. The food was pretty good, nothing super special and a little pricey but still yummy. read more

I used to love Bahama Breeze, and it felt like all of them disappeared, especially in South Florida, so I was thrilled to find one still open! It had been a while since I've been, but walking in felt like reconnecting with an old favorite. They've got a fresh new menu, which looks great. I didn't try any drinks this time (even though the drink menu was super tempting), but I'm already planning to come back and change that. For food, I ordered the black bean tacos and customized them to be vegan by removing the slaw and swapping in white rice. Super satisfying and flavorful! What really made the experience even better was our waitress, she was incredibly attentive, made sure our drinks stayed full, and went above and beyond to ensure my order stayed vegan. Truly top-notch service. The restaurant itself was very clean, with a bright, vibrant atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. I'm definitely willing to make the drive again just to come back. So glad this location is still around! read more

I love eating at this chain. My husband is meh about but his bowling team decided to go. I am so glad. We shared a bunch of appetizer. The food was delicious. The shrimp was my favorite and the Cuban bread felt like it just came out of the oven there were a group of 9 and our server was great. She was on top of the drinks. I love how they digitally split our tickets it was super easy to pay our bill on that tablet table. The place was clean and the ambience was clean and the noise level was low where we were able to have a conversation. read more

I came here with a group of co workers and Milton our server is great and friendly. Only reason why I give this location receives 4 stars is because one of my co workers food had mushrooms and broccoli and she specifically said for them to be removed, when her plate came out the pasta still had the vegetables inside of it, she had to wait for her food while we all had our plates. I ordered the salmon with yellow rice and green beans. The green beans and salmon were delicious except the rice tasted a little old and looked old like it wasn't fresh. Overall service was great and Milton was amazing. read more

A friend and I went here for lunch on a Sunday. We chose to sit outside since it was so beautiful out. We sat at one of the umbrella covered tables. There is a large amount of outdoor seating and a fire pit to sit around out front too! The tropical music really set the atmosphere. Our service was great and speedy. I enjoyed 2 of the Bruno's Smash Hits which were advertised on the featured items menu. It had a decent amount of bourbon and so yummy! Conch fritters were our appetizer. They were served with a delicious citrus sauce that paired nicely. I ordered the jerk chicken pineapple bowl. I love that it is served in half a pineapple. Great flavor and a good portion of food. I had plenty to also take home for dinner that night. I highly recommend this location. read more

Went on a Saturday night with my friend. Since we came around 9PM, there was not much of a crowd and seated immediately inside. Our waiter took our drink order first, which I choose the regular Mojito (10 dollars). It was a nicely strong drink with sugarcane to provide a bit of sweetness. For dinner, I decided to go light and choose the half portion of cilantro chicken. There was a good piece of grilled chicken that was a bit juicy as well. For some reason, it the chicken tasted a bit sweet, which could have been from the grill. Instead of mashed potatoes, I chose the broccoli instead. It came with cheese on top, which gave a nice flavor. Unfortunately, the cilantro cream sauce was missing, but came after I mentioned it. It went well with the chicken. There was still enough food to take home, so I asked a togo box, which was promptly given. I was able to enjoy the leftovers the next day. The service was prompt and friendly. With the exception of the missing cilantro sauce, everything else was in order. The building was a bit small for Bahama Breeze, and didn't have much entertainment other than the reggae/rap music playing in the background. There was a small tablet in each table to order drinks and other items, as well to pay your bill. I think that tablet had games, but you may have to pay to play them. There is outdoor seating, but I don't think many took advantage due to the rain. While this branch isn't as nice as the original Sand Lake, it still provides good food and service. If there was live entertainment during the weekends, it would have been much better. However, I would visit again if I was in the Waterford area craving for Bahama Breeze. read more

The atmosphere over the top, relaxing and chill vibe kinda thing. I always always come here when I'm back home in Orlando. Which is possibly why I got a Duchess badge for this place. Ciarra is the best waitress/bartender ever on this planet. Tamar is running for an easy second place but he's right on her heels for the first place. When you have service that is 100% on top of it, funny and helpful all in one... why ask for anyone else. However.. the others I've encountered have all been helpful and pleasant from walking in the door till I've left. No one here has ever not made the cut.. love them all. The food. Well... If you look at my photos you'll see I am partial to the Jamaican Whole wings on an almost obsessive level. However the chicken toastones, empanadas, paella, salmon, etc are all just amazing. So you should come enjoy the music, the great service and food. Sit outside for a great experience as well and I hope you enjoy Orlando or love it because it's home. read more

Best atmosphere and great great service. Coconut shrimp is amazing and dipping sauce is perfectly paired.

I've been eating at Bahama Breeze on and off for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. I don't stray from what I enjoy, in this case the Jerk Chicken Pasta. I ordered the full portion and had about 2/3 of the meal put in a to go box. I was able to eat 3 meals with this portion. My husband had the Jamaican Stuffed Plantain bowl, the small bite I was amazing. We started with the Yucca Cheese Sticks which were tasty but not something I would order on a regular basis. Now the Pineapple Cheesecake Empanadas I would eat everyday, they were delicious and unique. The dining room is perfectly themed to make you feel like you are on the islands and the service was impeccable. When you are in the Waterford Lakes area of Orlando stop in and have a try. read more

Thought you knew Bahama Breeze? Think again. They have ramped up their tropical treats and lunch time special to delight your tastebuds. A group of our favorite chamber members & Friends arrived to this welcoming location on Alafaya Trail. Even though it was a lunch combo, the Coconut Shrimp Taco with side salad was more than ample. The shrimp was cooked to crispy perfection with a touch of sweetness from the pineapple chutney, tomato salsa, Sriracha aioli & shredded cabbage. The Cabana Crunch Chicken Salad was a tangy combo of jerk chicken tossed with a pineapple, tomato, shaved coconut, almonds and topped with a drizzle of honey chipotle dressing. It was delicious & a refreshing treat on a hot summer day. The steak lover in our group was thrilled with the Island Grille Steak Salad. The chimichurri topped skirt steak melted in your mouth. It was a flavorful juicy blend that had you wanting more. The fresh avocado, egg, smoked bacon and light drizzle of avocado ranch was a great addition making this meal complete. For a real treat we tried the new menu item, Crispy Chicken and Johnny Cakes. This is a brunch time favorite and an Island version of Chicken & Waffles. Housemade Johnny Cakes are a little savory with a touch of sweet. Dip a helping in the delicious habanero maple syrup for a little kick. Cinnamon sweet potatoes and pickled veggies enhance the crispy goodness of the chicken breasts. Come hungry or bring a friend for this amazing meal selection. Top off your meal with a delightful dessert that will fire you up. It's the NEW Flaming Pineapple Butter Cake. Bahama Breezes housemade butter cake, topped with fresh pineapple, salted rum caramel, table side rum flambés and a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream. OMG! This dessert is amazing. Ready for a tropical treat. Head over to see our friends at Bahama Breeze Waterford Lakes. They welcome you in, help you out and make you feel like family. They have sincerely upped their customer experience. Thank you to Erik, Sarah and the whole Bahama Breeze team. You rock! read more

Ordered online for a quick pick up for lunch. Order was ready within 15 mins and curbside service was fast and friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. The sauce and salsa were in separate containers which was a nice touch. The sauce was a bit spicier than I was expecting but the pineapple salsa balanced it out. The sweet potatoes were creamy and green beans cooked al dente. All in all, I was happy with my order. I haven't eaten at Bahamas Breeze in years so I was happy it was still good. read more

I came here last night. The plates were very tasty and well made. It also made a great pairing together. The tostones were nice and hot, the salsa, chicken, and cheese topped it perfectly.

I was pleased with food and service at this location. Some locations haven't always hit the mark with freshness but I can't say that here, dinner has served us well and the live reggae music sets it apart. read more

We are very disappointed in our visit this evening. This is by far the worst service we've experienced in any restaurant in a long time. It took approximately 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us once we were seated. The server then took our drink and entree order. I had to get up and go seek out our drinks after another 15 minutes. They were sitting at the bar and clearly had been sitting there for some time because the ice was melted and there was condensation on each glass. The server seemed annoyed I was looking for them. Then the table across from us...who arrived AND ordered after us received their food before we did. Someone must have sensed our frustration because the manager, Jessica, came out to let us know our food was being plated and apologized for the delay. Our food was luke warm at best. We had to flag the server down for refills and sauces. There was a table that our server was clearly familiar with the guests because she went straight to them each time she came out the patio door. We are a party of 2 who ordered a drink (each) and an entree (each). No appetizers. No desserts. No water. Just drink and entrees. This was a very disappointing experience. read more
