August 15 was a happy day to celebrate an emotional and long-awaited ceremony with my daughter. Among several offers, we decided to visit Bahama Breeze. The waitress was nice. But the food left a lot to be desired. The most critical thing was the paella, served with so much chorizo that its flavor was not seafood but sausages. It also had an excessive amount of salt. The rice had dry grains with a lot of green beans as an additive. The pina colada drink was too loaded with syrups and very sugary. The atmosphere was calm and the place is very nice. Shame about the quality of the food.

First time visiting this restaurant and since they are very popular it was so busy that night so we waited 40mins to be seated which is fine. The restaurant itself is very dark and outdated, the table is a bit sticky and wall has food splatter. The main course came first before our salad and appetizer and we have to follow up for that. Over all the price of the food for the quality that we get is not worth it. The service is fine, but the busser are the one working really hard.

I had a wonderful gathering with my dear sorority sisters! I even ordered two meals to go which was great for my son and daughter-in-law. My son said that his wife woofed down the delicious coconut shrimp. He went on to say that the beef empanadas were out of this world. I had a bowl of bohemian chowder that was delicious! And the service from Rochelle was over the top! She was spectacular in every way a waitress can be! If management from Bahama Breeze reads this please know that you have one spectacular employee!

The place has a nice scenery. They were very busy and even though we had reservations we still had to wait 10mins. The server was very good and the food was good. I will be returning.

My first time here. Always wanted to visit this restaurant but being shortchanged ruined my experience. I paid in cash and was shorted $1.05. My bill was $38.66 and paid $100.71 cash. Told the waitress about it (only the $1.00) and that it was ok I was shortchanged and for her to keep that dollar but she said she could not correct the issue since she went to two places at the bar for change. She said she handed the $100 to the bar, left, and then went back to get the change. So, basically, THE BAR people shortchanged me! Still tip my waitress $8 even though she only checked on me once and had to flagged her down for to-go boxes and my check.

We were in town for just one night and had not dined at a Bahama Breeze restaurant in years. I was glad to see the quality and service are still top notch! We ordered takeout and thoroughly enjoyed two delicious pasta dishes, the shrimp pasta and lobster & shrimp pasta. Both were alfredo sauce-based and were simply magnificent. Both plates were LOADED with seafood (no "skimping" on the good stuff with these meals!) and seasoned just right. Everyone I encountered in this experience provided caring and knowledgable customer service. Be aware this is a VERY busy area of Duluth with expected LONG wait times so plan accordingly.

I've been waiting forever to try Bahama breeze!! Located right off of pleasant hill rd. Large parking lot but does get packed. The service was great. Server was friendly, constantly checked on us and refills were provided. The steak was very tasty. The rice and beans were warm but not fresh. I had stomach problems all night and next morning while at work.. enough said there.. The food was alright but unfortunately nothing to brag about. It was a good experience but I wouldn't hype it up too much so maybe we ordered the wrong thing. Came on the Monday night so maybe that's why the food wasn't the freshest.

Our neighbor gave us a gift card. First time for me here. I ordered the greens salad with grilled chicken w/ fruit! Was fabulous and so fresh like it had just been made. My husband got the burger. He enjoyed it but fries were cold. It was take out though. We will be back. Mango sorbet was delicious.
Excellent experience. Saturday evening visit, but we went early. Estimated 45 minute wait but we got in after 15 minutes. Conch fritter appetizer was very good. My Seafood Paella was outstanding. Coconut shrimp tacos very good. Kids pasta was close to adult meal quality (I tried several bites myself). No room for dessert, meal portions were very ample. I will use the excuse of not trying the Key Lime pie for another visit in the future.

A favorite we can always count on for good food and equally good service. The island vibes satisfy my soul every time. Coconut shrimp tacos were tasty. Shrimp was crispy without being greasy.

While living in Atlanta back in the mid-90's I had visited Bahama Breeze once (not long after they first opened). I was not impressed. We were in the Atlanta area for a little getaway and I discovered this place was still around. After reading reviews we decided to give it a try. Turned out to be a good choice. It was Saturday night, and they were very busy. We put our name on the wait list (roughly 45 minutes) but then asked about sitting at the patio bar. To our surprise we were able to be seated immediately. That was a great choice, because our bartender / server, Mike, was excellent! Very friendly, helpful and fun. Dinner was very good as well. We had J*** wings and j*** chicken pasta. Both were very tasty, and everything was hot. Good portion sizes left us full. I would certainly go back for another visit.

Large restaurant with a giant firepit- it wasn't lit but it was cool. Live music, which was nice. Food was good- we had yuca cheese sticks and coconut shrimp. The service wasn't great, but friendly. Fun place to go and have dinner. The drinks were good as well as strong.

Social distancing, and face masks are a must when you're entering the restaurant. This is our first time at this location, but not at the restaurant. We are from Miami, Florida and travel a lot, so we've been to the Miami, Fl , Pembroke Pines, Fl locations, and also the Orland, Fl location. We were escorted to our table by the greeter and our waiter Juan G came and assisted us. He was training a waitress, so this was really interesting. :-) They greeted us, took our beverage and appetizer orders and we waited patiently for everything. We were given our appetizer and drinks. We didn't want to order any lunch or dinner entrees, so we just ate appetizers. I had the seafood chowder in a cup, and fire cracker shrimp. It was delicious, but I barely ate the shrimp. I was too full off is the cup of seafood chowder. I also ordered a virgin Pina Colada, and a strawberry lemonade. My husband had a salad, conch fritters, j*** wings, and 2 yuengling beers. Everything was delicious, but we had lots of food left. My only complaint was, where is the conch in the conch balls? They were so tiny, you could barely see or taste them. I definitely won't order them again here. We didn't eat all of the food, so we took the rest home. If we're in the neighborhood, and hungry, we may stop here.
