Bahama Breeze - Kissimmee: Reviews & Ratings

The service from the door, to our table and the waitress & cook/guy that brought our food out, EVERYONE was very nice, professional, and courteous. Our cocktails and beverages were DELICIOUS OUR ONLY COMPLAINTS was OUR FOOD (the main reason we came)!!! Visiting home (Tampa, FL) from Oklahoma, Bahama Breeze WAS always a favorite place, and we always try to make sure we get to a location nearest wherever we stay. Because we do not have B.B. in Oklahoma. We were in Orlando this time. The food was awful. Under cooked, crunchy rice... under cooked chicken. Spice levels not really explained on the menu, so my daughter's food was so spicy she couldn't taste the actual food, just the heat of the spices in the empanada. My son's jerk wings were undercooked as were my half jerk chicken and rice, cold tasteless black beans. My grandson had the kids hamburger sliders meal. The meat was OVER COOKED so much so that it was just dry and tasteless. I usually have had WONDERFUL experiences at B.B. but this time was DISAPPOINTING for the price that we paid.

Great service and good food and drinks. We went for lunch and had coconut shrimp and black bean tacos. We got drinks including the Bahama Mama and a Margarita flight. Both were good. We sat outside on the patio, so it was a little hot. The ceiling fans were on low-speed, so they could put them at a higher speed. The service was great with great suggestions and recommendations.

Food was great, fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the service was a bit underwhelming. We had requested to sit outside and were put on a waitlist, but when it was our turn, we were seated indoors without any explanation, even though there were clearly open tables on the patio. The hostess seemed indifferent, and our server was friendly but very new didn’t know what a Pellegrino was and needed some guidance throughout. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but the service experience could use some polishing.

Get the beef empanadas! They are handmade in house and delicious. We came back 2 days in a row for those. The jerk shrimp was spicy but savory. I loved the jerk chicken pasta. The drinks were good just a little too sweet.

Even though we came without a reservation on a Saturday night, we were greeted warmly and were sitting in less then 10 minute ( party of 9). Our amazing servers, Sara and Alex did a great job to make sure we have everything we need and want. The food was amazing, we each ordered a different plate so we can all try and share. We came for a weekend from Louisiana and we can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

I ordered a starter breaded shrimp with coconut it was delicious, then I ordered a barbecue dish it was very tasty it came accompanied with rice and beans and fried banana. Portion serves only one person. My husband ordered a Paella I found the rice a little hard but it was delicious and we didn’t order dessert because we were very full.

Service was slow but they fixed it and took care of us. Food was amazing! Live music was a bit to loud for a dining setting but it set the mood. I missed this spot back home , so happy to try it again after years! got very packed as we were about to leave. Restaurant was clean and servers were nice and upbeat. The coconut tacos and crab dip were top tier and wifey loved the red snapper. Everything was hot and fresh! I will be back!
