    Never disappoints, always on point. Tasty, flavorful seafood, well prepared is what you get from Bahama Breeze. The food, service and atmosphere makes you feel like you're on the beach enjoying a wonderful meal. Drinks are good and refreshing, nice variety to choose from. Bahama Breeze is one of our go to restaurants when dining with family and friends.

    First time at Bahama Breeze! It's a close drive from the airport and was very crowded on a Saturday dinner but we only waited 15 mins for a table. At 6pm they have a live music playing so it gets even louder. The tables are very close to each other. The parking lot is huge which is a plus. The waitress was very nice and refilled our waters! We split the coconut fried shrimp which was all right. The sauce wasn't good so I just ate it without any sauce. I got the jerk mahi mahi as my man dish and it was really good! A bit salty for me but it was cooked well and the rice was flavorful. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful and we could see the water.

    Seafood Paella

    Our group had a great time at Bahama Breeze. Service was stellar. The restaurant has plenty of parking and the ambiance is lively and bright. A fully stocked bar offering a variety of cocktails, beer and wine options. The menu is exhaustive with island specialties. The crab dip and beef empanadas were really good. For the main course I tried the seafood paella. Thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. Pricing : Moderate high Will I return? For sure!

    We're sad to see Bahama Breeze leave this area! We had to pay one last visit - we had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon, there was live music which is always nice. It was also national margarita day and the classic margaritas were $2.22 - a great deal! My husband had the honey butter chicken sandwich - he really enjoyed it. I ordered the salmon tostada salad, a personal favorite. My daughter always likes the kids mac n cheese. Our server was also super nice and continuously checked in on us. The location is so pretty, right on the water. We'll definitely miss this spot.

    Bahama Mama at Bahama Breeze, Tampa

    With our whole team in Tampa and staying within walking distance at the Westin, this was an easy choice for a gathering. They arranged the rear dining room, set up an open bar and a table with finger foods. More than 50 of us crowded into here, drinking, eating and socializing. The venue is nice. It's a little upscale compared to many and the service was excellent. My Bahama Mama was strong, fruity and delicious. And thankfully, I had only the one. The food in the chafing dishes was great. A selection of their appetizers including beef empanadas, cheese sticks and whole jerk chicken wings. Nice. [Review 146 of 2026 - 2253 in Florida - 25336 overall]

    Another great meal! Fun photo op set ups/ decorations for Valentine's Day added to the fun Caribbean vibe... Had the lovely Hannah for this dinner. Very outgoing, attentive and professional. All drinks were yummy ( mmm, coconut mojito), and our food delicious. Read a few weeks ago that this is one chain planning on closing several of their restaurants, with some exceptions-- and this is one of them. Please give them your business--don't want to lose this gem.

    I don't say this lightly: I had the best grilled chicken salad of my entire life at Bahama Breeze in Tampa. And not once--twice. Both visits were during the week of the Stadium Series, so yes, this was thoroughly field-tested under real-world conditions. Imagine perfectly grilled, juicy chicken, fresh crisp greens, and that magical balance where every bite is exactly what you want it to be. I am still thinking about this salad. I may always be thinking about this salad. Which is why I was absolutely devastated to learn this location is slated for closure. Heartbroken. Betrayed. Personally affected. So consider this your public service announcement: do yourself a favor and go fact-check me. Order the grilled chicken salad. You'll see. And while you're there, pair it with a dragonfruit margarita. I arrived at this conclusion after conducting extremely serious and very scientific research in the form of a flight of four margarita flavors. After careful analysis (and zero regrets), dragonfruit emerged as the clear champion. Bright, refreshing, and dangerous in the best way. Bahama Breeze, you deserved better--but until the very last day, I'll be singing the praises of that salad. Go now. Eat well. Thank me later.

    Coconut Shrimp Tacos

    Service was wonderful, the food was outstanding, and the live music on the patio is always a wonderful touch. Check out the fish when you're in the dining room and be sure to try something new!

    This restaurant is waterfront with inside and outside seating available. We dined outside as it was a nice day and not too hot. They have ample parking and live music every night Our first server Chad was great. Sandra helped us after and she was awesome as well. Both servers exemplified great customer service. Sandra checked on us often and was very kind. We ordered the following: DRINKS 1. Bahamarita - Frozen Drink 2. King Carnival 3. Margaritas Flight (Classic, Dragonfruit, Cocorita) *** All of our drinks were good. They were on the sweeter side but really good. The Bahamarita had great orange, melon,and strawberry flavors mixed together. FOOD 1. Jamaican Jerk Whole Wings Very delicious with a great crisp on the outside. The chicken was tender and the sauce made it evwn better. (BEST THING WE ATE) 2. Blackened Mahi Tacos The tacos were okay. They were topped with pico de gallo and an aioli sauce and a side of rice and beans which I enjoyed a lot. 3. Cubano Sandwich Toasted Sandwich was okay as well. We had fries as our side. You can order then pay on their kiosk pad as well. This place has great views, great service, great cocktail drinks, and decent food.

    It's not closed yet! Bahama Breeze in Tampa is one of my favorite spots. Everything on the menu is good. The service is great and the vibe is so so Florida. I enjoy the island vibes and all about this place. Bahama Rita frozen is my go to drink. They are still open at least for a few more months before a new place opens in that location. Get there soon. Get yourself a house salad with their house vinaigrette dressing to start things off . Thank me later

    Pina Colada & Bahamarita
    Rachel M.

    Haven't been to this Bahama Breeze in forever and I feel like it was still pretty good. I was looking for a place for a small bite, good drinks, great view, & easy free parking on the way to Clearwater Beach. This was it. We wanted inside seating and they sat us at the perfect table with the best of both worlds - A/C and great water view. We still felt like a tourist here. Our server was enthusiastic and friendly. We ordered a Bahamarita, and a Pina Colada and Conch Fritters. That was exactly what we were looking for before we headed to the beach and dinner later on. Really enjoyed it here even though we have a Bahama Breeze closer to home but no water view.

    Pineapple Bowl
    Ricky P.

    Flew into Tampa and met my friend here for dinner. The location is amazing. With great views of the bay and great live music. The service was ok. The food was good. My girlfriend got the pineapple bowl with no shrimp. It tried some and it was great. Rich in flavor and a great value for the price. I ordered the black bean bbq burger and fries. The fries were great. The burger was above average. It was a great and simple meal after a long day traveling from San Francisco. I'd gladly come back here when I'm in town.

    Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pasta
    Rosa M.

    We came in for lunch today even though we had a not so great experience here a few years ago-and we are SO GLAD we did! The food was amazing-the jerk chicken pasta never disappoints and I had the ahi tuna stack and it was PHENOMENAL! They didn't skimp on the tuna at all and the sauces and sauces complimented each other very well. The service was fantastic at the bar and the Caribbean theme brings great ambiance to the afternoon.

    Do you guys serve oyster Rockefeller?

    Yes we do!! And it’s delicious!

    Tienen servicio a domicilio y se puede pagar en efectivo?

    No. Recogida en la acera y cena únicamente. Debes pagar por adelantado con tarjeta. La entrega se ofrece únicamente para catering.

    Hi there, SIMILAR to Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill, do lotsa tables at this Bahama Breeze location have beach-ish / water views? THANKS!!

    There are a few with water views. The restaurant fills up. I would call and make a reservation and ask for a water view if it is a special evening for you.

    Is this on the water and if so is there boat dockage?

    Hi Steve! Yes, actually we do have boat dockage available at our Tampa location. There are only a few spots available but we have it!

    Is it pet friendly?

    Hi Andrea! We only allow service animals inside our restaurant and on our patios.

    Does this Tampa location have late night happy hour on Thursdays?

    Unfortunately this location does not have happy hour at all. But it does have the best view, live music; and awesome service:)

    Another great visit to Shell's Seafood--worth the 4-year wait! No Miami location, so I had to stop…read moreby while in downtown Tampa. Still the same decor and has not changed in years. Came with family and had excellent service from Anthony and Tony. The New England clam chowder, shrimp pasta, seafood pasta, and crispy shrimp (lightly battered) were all delicious. Loved that I could swap the slaw for pasta--nice surprise! Hope to return much sooner next time.

    Very secluded off the beaten path and tucked within the willows of the streets of Bon Air…read moreneighborhood of South Tampa. This seafood restaurant is pretty close to Tampa International Airport and minutes away from all major beaches. It is far from glamor and glory of the other places in Tampa, but man, the food here is incredible. Continue reading to find out... Located on the corner of W Cleveland Street & S Dale Marbry Highway, in the Bon Air Neighborhood, Shells Seafood is very easy to get to. A talk sign that towers over the restaurant can be seen from hundreds of feet away while driving; it's hard to miss the sign. Plenty of parking in the stalls on the property as well as neighborhood parking and local stores adjacent parking spots. Once inside, you are greeted by the cute looking host at the nicely decorated front reception. She seats you immediately to a an open floor spacing with two sides of seating and a centralized semi-circle bar area. There are roughly over 30 tables and plenty of room to accommodate small to larger. The cajun boil here is fabulous! Loved every minute of it. Will be visiting again ... maybe not during the hurricane seasons. :)
