Bahama Breeze

Ahhhhhh thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here just shooting the breeze! I’m on a roll, see what I did there? Food was amazing. I ordered the jerk chicken bow tie pasta with salmon instead of chicken. It was made beautifully. Good was amazing but our service took the cake! Lexi is absolutely phenomenal and is a model of character in the industry. She was going nonstop but we never waited for anything or went without. She was smiling, courteous and obviously passionate about her work. If she was at every restaurant I ever went to I would be a regular. The manager on staff was every attentive also. He walked around checking on guests and genuinely cared about the responses. Overall we wish we weren’t visiting from out of town so we could come again.

I have been here several times to give it a fair chance for me to like this restaurant.
Everytime is very disappointing. It is always very loud inside, no romantic dinners here.
Food is nasty! The only thing I can eat here are the onion rings and the tomato side dish. I have tried a variety of dishes from seafood, sandwiches, pasta, salads, etc… All were not good. The service isn’t much better. Our last waitress argued with us over the bill. I had a coupon with my name on it, from the email list, and she was arguing they only take printed coupons.
It is 2016, who prints coupons anymore? Also, she argued with us over the appetizer. We always order the appetizer combo because it has the onion rings that I can eat in case I don’t like the entrée.
I would recommend you save your money and eat elsewhere. Oh, and it is WAY, WAY, WAY overpriced.

Delicious food and cocktails in lovely tropical setting. Cocktails were great, food fast and delicious. Definitely look forward to going back. Wait staff were friendlys and helpfulul too!

Expect Long wait (1 hour)
Big portions
Good Taste
Get seasfood paella and Key west nachos

We had an amazing time here, the place was super busy, I mean mobbed that is a really good sign. There were bridal parties here two of them in fact for bachelorette parties, plenty of people on dates people just hanging out looking for a good time. We sat at the bar enjoying amazing frozen drinks, the bartender was so nice very professional, we stayed there without waiting for a table, we ordered the coconut shrimp it came with the sauce on the side, and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked to perfection and delicious. I enjoyed a Cobb salad and it looked a little different but it tasted amazing, it was totally delicious and came with two salad dressings a blue cheese, and a house vinaigrette. My wife and son split the sirloin steak and it was accompanied by fresh homemade mashed potatoes and asparagus. For dessert I have the rum cake it came out Alamode, with delicious ice cream but the rum cake was the star! it was warm and heavenly.
I would totally wholeheartedly recommend this place to tourists locals or anyone that wants a delicious meal and a very fun place, I really wish they had one in Chicago. I enjoyed a tropical drink flight, for about nine dollars sampled three delicious cocktails made in front of me to perfection but the skilled bartender.
Best place so far in Orlando!

We come here everytime we come to Orlando. The food is great the attention is great. I usually have the coconut shrimp it’s delicious but today I had jerk chicken it was great. I would recommend this place for anybody looking to have a nice dinner. You can eat inside or outside I usually eat outside. I never leave disappointed from here you won’t.

Food and drinks were deeelish, however the service lacked professionalism and hospitality. We went there for my birthday celebration and requested seating near the live band. We were told there was a 30 minute wait and we were promtly seated furthest from the music. Our waiter was insulting and condescending but it did not ruin our dinner. I will return again but not to the same waiter. The lack of stars was service, my overall visit for food and drinks is 5 stars!!!

Great place. Really good food. The place makes you feel your on the islands. But be prepared to wait a long time if going after 8 for dinner. The jerk chicken is so good and the coconut shrimp tacos awesome

Ambiance is really lovely. Food was great and our waitress Emily was super sweet, made our experience great. Definitely recommend, drinks are good and inexpensive (coconut mojito was delicious)

I love this place. Came last year and loved it so much I kept wanting to be back. Staff is awesome, food and drinks are AMAZING. The atmosphere is so vibrant, alive, just like walking into another world.

For a tourist chain restaurant in Orlando, this isn’t bad at all. The menu is pretty big, so big, there’s page numbers. They have lots of outdoor tables and the place is fairly big. In Orlando for work and came thru right after all the spring breaker families were here, so it was pretty chill and relaxed. I had the Carnitas Bowl, something I probably wouldn’t usually get, but I always like trying something different if I find something on the menu, It was very good!

Bahama Breeze is located on Intl Dr in Orlando Florida. They are a chain restaurant that is owned by the same people that own Olive Garden.
After a long plane flight, I was so looking forward to a cool tropical drink.
Bahama Breeze has a private parking, with lots of spaces and even valet parking.
It is a good size restaurant inside with many tables, they also have seating outside on a large patio deck with shade seating.
We ordered our drinks right away, I ordered a rum runner and also coconut prawns.
The drink was fabulous, and the coconut prawns were incredible. Diego drank about half my rum drink.
We ordered our entrees, I chose Jamaican rubbed pork tenderloin with Pineapple chutney. Along with dinner came another round of drinks, I ordered a Bahama mama.
The tenderloin was good with great flavor and the chutney was over the top. The meat was cooked a little to much for me, it was tough. That is why I did not give it five stars.
We finished the night off with a piece of key lime pie. It was to die for.
We might be back before we leave.

I would say it’s a good place for just to get a drink and enjoy the music :)
Food was okay, nothing like wow. Only chicken quesadilla was good, desert was tasteless and boring. Nothing special. Service was good, atmosphere was nice. Location is great. I will probably come again :)

This will forever be my favorite restaurant of all time and great location.
I remember as a kid I would always get the fresh lemonade or a virgin margarita. Glad when I turned 21 the drinks are amazing. I love the Beef Empanadas and the Coconut Shrimp with the citrus mustard. All their deserts are great but the Rum Cake is my favorite. Live music at night!
It is in a busy tourist area and 9 times out of 10 there is a lengthy wait time but it is well worth the wait!

I came here after a long day at work, with a coworker of mine who recommended this location. Initially, I was skeptical, but after the experience, I am glad we came.
This was my first time at Bahama Breeze, ever. I love the vibrant colors and overall ambiance and décor; it really does have a tropical feel to the place.
Our waiter was very attentive and on top of things – if he didn’t know the answers to our questions, he would find someone who did know, and then report back to us with said information.
The food is good. I ordered a Salmon salad entrée and conch fritters for an appetizer. My only qualm is that the conch fritters only came with five, very small, dainty balls… for the size, there should be at least 8 – 10 to somewhat fill the plate. I’m not exaggerating; the balls were literally quarter-​sized.
My favorite part of this experience is their newly added Margarita trio platter!!! It is wicked good! For a little under $ 11 you get three different, delicious flavored margaritas: Pineapple, Hibiscus, and Key Lime (our favorite was the Key Lime). The margaritas were so good, I ordered a second platter! Yum!

Really fun atmosphere on the outside deck! Caribbean feel. All different types of seating. Pretty busy at weekday lunch, but we got a table right away.
Opening the menu, I was overwhelmed. It’s long, but filled with yummy options. I ended up looking at the lunch menu and choosing the lunch combo: lobster and shrimp quesadilla and seafood chowder. It was pretty good and was a lunch sized portion. Honestly, I must have been hungrier than I thought, because the lunch combo just didn’t cut it. Next time, I’m getting a full-​sized meal.
Although I didn’t get any drinks, their drinks looked delicious. I can’t wait to come back for some drinks with friends. Although, probably another Bahama Breeze location because I heard this one doesn’t have a happy hour for some reason.
The service was friendly and helpful when choosing what to order. She was slow on getting us the bill. All in all, great visit. I can’t wait to go back to try out other items on the menu!

This place was wonderful while I was in town for work! I got the recommendation from my masseuse when I first got into town.
My coworkers and I dined in on a Monday night, and even then, the restaurant was packed. Because of how busy they were, our service was okay. We repeatedly had to ask for silverware and water refills, so that was a little annoying.
Other than that, the food was to die for! I would definitely go back if I get the chance to visit Orlando again (:

Came here twice during my trip to FL in September. I had the conch fritters the first night. Soooo good! I usually don’t like sweet & savory foods but this one was great. The batter I guess is a little sweet but squeezing the lime made it a sweet/​sour/​savory experience. The conch fritters only come in like 5 little balls so don’t count on this being the «filling» appetizer.
The second time I came here, I ordered the shrimp and grits plate. This was my first time having grits but that was a great first time dish. So tasty, so flavorful. I still remembered how great it tasted. The mushrooms and crisp green beans were a great touch. Will try again the next time I am in town!

My friends and I came to Bahama Breeze after a long day of fun (and a ton of walking) at Universal Studios. We were quite glad that they were able to accommodate large groups in a rather last minute fashion. I called ahead, and upon arriving my friends and I only had to wait for about 15 minutes.
Food:
Creole chicken and sausage pasta — I was quite a fan of this dish! It was flavorful and had a nice little kick to it. Portions are definitely excellent. I finished it, but I was extremely hungry and also full afterwards.
Cajun chicken pasta — My friend ordered this dish and it was quite good as well. Portion was also quite good.
Fried chicken — I personally thought the fried chicken was mediocre. It was crispy and somewhat tender, but nothing particularly special.
Chicken and rice — This dish I would honestly advise you to avoid. One of my friends got it and it was not tasty at all. The sauces they offered could not save the dish either.
Drinks:
Piña colada — The piña colada is a MUST. It’s super refreshing and the depth of the fruit flavor was incredible
Painkiller — The painkiller was okay. It was strong, you can definitely taste the alcohol, but in terms of other flavors it was lacking.
Mai-​tai — I would avoid this drink. It was bland and tasted as if it was completely non-​alcoholic. My friend complained, after which the bartender supposedly added more liquor and ensured it would be «extremely strong». It was still really weak…
Overall, most of the food was pretty good. The service was a bit lacking, especially as some requests took several reminders. Our waitress also kept forgetting one of my friends’ orders for food and drink. For the most part, the staff were welcoming and friendly. I think I would come back here just for the piña colada though! Be sure to give that a try.

Darden gets stuff right, ya’ll! Happy to be in the land of their HQ!
I have dined at this location three times now and I have had fabulous experiences all around. Yes, it’s a chain but they have a great, friendly staff. Also, this location has so. much. seating. So if it’s nice out, choose the porch!
I always order off the Fresh Fish menu:
1. Choose Your Fish
— Salmon
— Tilapia
— Catch of the Day
2. Choose Your Preparation
— Wood-​Grilled or Sautéed
3. Select your style
— Classic — topped with lemon butter
— Mango Glazed — with grilled pineapple salsa
— Almond Crusted — topped with lemon butter sauce
— Chimichurri — fresh lime juice, olive oil and fresh herbs
— Creole — traditional bell pepper, onion and tomato sauce
4. Island Adds
— Grilled 5 oz. Lobster Tail
— Jumbo Lump Crabmeat
— Sautéed Shrimp
My fav combination is Salmon, wood-​grilled Almond Crusted. Delicious and so filling!
Can we talk about cocktails too?
Painkiller — it’s kinda like dessert. — Dark Rum, cream of coconut, pineapple and orange juice, with freshly ground nutmeg. Delicious. And strong.
They are currently celebrating Rum Fest (until Nov 8^th) and if that doesn’t sell you enough…
They
Have
Cocktail
Flights.
Yep.
Brilliant.
I hope this stays on the menu after Rum Fest.
I chose to dive into the «Mama’s Hooch & Holler» — mainly because I needed to order that just for the name.
— Bahama Mama: Cruzan Coconut, Bacardi Black and Castillo Silver Rums, Banana Liqueur, pineapple and OJ.
— Bahamian Sunset: Castillo Silver and Cruzan Coconut Rums, Licor 43, pineapple and grenadine. (my favorite of the trio)
— Goombay Smash: Cruzan Coconut, Shellback Spiced and Bacardi Black Rums, mixed with OJ and pineapple.

Tres bon. J ai testé le riz créolé avec des crevettes, tres bon ! Ambiance reggae agréable. Peut être un peu meilleur en terrasse car a l’intérieur comme souvent dans les restaurants américains, la clim était trop forte a mon goût !

wir waren während unseres Orlando Aufenthaltes öffters im Bahama Breeze essen. Der Service sowie das Essen sind wirklich sehr gut. Besonders zum empfehlen sind die Baby Pork Rips mit French Fries und BBQ Sauce.

Immer wieder ein super Restaurant in Orlando. Leckere karibische Küche. Tolle Musik, Karibik Feeling pur.
