Bahama Breeze

This is the first time we visited this restaurant. We love the atmosphere, the cleanliness , and the Caribbean style music, and hope they don't change that. It was like being on a Caribbean island. Of course, the food was delicious though we only had appetizers. They were plentiful and piping hot. The staff was friendly and our waitress, Marlina, was courteous, friendly and informative. I can't wait to take visitors to Caribbean Breeze. Fayetteville needed this.

I always look forward to my Friday treat at Bahama breeze! The ladies at the bar take such good care of me! I enjoy the atmosphere and food of course! Timmy makes the best drinks! Nii was my first server when I started coming regularly and always remembers my order! They’re a dynamic duo and this time I got a trio with Ashley serving too! She’s a gem! I always get the coconut shrimp! But this time I got salad and the firecracker shrimp added! Love BB! Thanks so much! I’ll see ya next Friday! Love love my notes on my receipt! Thanks so much xoxo keep shining Queens!

Great restaurant overall! From the food, to the drinks, the atmosphere and the service was great. My best friend took me for the first time here and they did not disappoint. Cynthia was our waitress and she was very accommodating and knowledgeable with the menu. She shared her favorites and ways to change things up. I ordered the 2 for $25 and she asked if I wanted one of them to-go. I didn’t realize why she asked until the food came out. I ended up taking some of both to-go. Their menu is pretty big for both drinks and food. I will be back to try other dishes and drinks.

My husband and I had a wonderful Wednesday date night here! Our server was Bree, and she was great! Very professional and helpful. We enjoyed the Conch Fritter appetizer, Ahi Tuna Salad, and the Pork Chop dinner.

Visited Bahama Breeze tonight, and I’ll be giving an honest/fair review. Upon entering the host did not greet me. They waited until I said something to them. I made a reservation because I’m not familiar with the area but it wasn’t needed. My friend and I were able to sit immediately. Steph was our waitress and we loved her. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d request her. She was professional, down to earth, funny and very nice. Now, to the food. I had the lobster and shrimp linguine. It came out fresh, and hot. The flavor wasn’t really there but a little salt and pepper did the trick. My friend had the snapper.. she said it was “okay, it was decent.” Drinks were great! The downfall was the bug I found in my flight. I did tell my waitress. However, a manager never came by to say anything. Steph remade the drink without an issue though. The jerk wings were also okay. I wish they were a bit spicier to fulfill that authentic taste but they were still pretty good. All in all, the food I’d rate it about a 6.5-7/10. The service overall 6/10 (Steph was a solid 10/10 though), and the drinks (aside from the bug) 9/10.

Our group of nearly 30 people walked into Bahama Breeze expecting a good time, but Harlem and Dom made it an unforgettable one! From the moment we arrived, they were warm, attentive, organized, and genuinely joyful. Handling a party our size is no small task, but they made it look effortless — refills stayed full, orders were spot-on, and their energy kept the whole table smiling. The food was incredible — flavorful, fresh, and came out surprisingly fast considering our group size. Every dish hit the mark! The Caribbean vibe, the drinks, the presentation… chef’s kiss. 😘✨ A huge shoutout to our servers, who went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure everything ran smoothly. You could tell they truly cared about our experience. Let’s also add a shoutout to the manager and all the other staff members we encountered throughout our time there. If you’re looking for a spot in Fayetteville to host a large group and still enjoy top-tier service, you can’t go wrong with Bahama Breeze. We left full, happy, and I’m already planning my next visit. 🌴✨

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere felt like virgin islands, Jamaica vibe. They have guy their playing steel drums and the food is awsome.

Attended birthday celebration for my Cousin/Sister Evangeline Foy! The atmosphere was awesome. Service was on point and the food was even better! I ordered the empanadas. It was a whole meal by itself. I had to leave early and my meal was packaged and ready to go! My non alcoholic lemon breeze was nice and tart!

The food was ON POINT! Grilled salmon yellow rice & broccoli--DELISH! Archie our server professional & prompt. Very friendly and family oriented--music.... To those who have not been there yet.... Get there is my suggestion!

Listing in order of what we liked... + Our waitress was wonderful, so friendly! + The food was pretty good. I ordered the pork Cuban sandwich and it was pretty good. My wife ordered the coconut shrimp tacos minus something spicy on it. I don't really remember. But she thought that they were overall good, the shrimp was crunchy and the portion seem to be good for a taco. The crab dip we really enjoyed, it wasn't too cheesy or too salty like sometimes crab dishes are. + the restaurant is very clean and has a great vibe. But it is new too, so we'll see how long it stay clean in Fayetteville. - The only negative thing we can say is that it is very very loud in this restaurant. It was a busy day when we went for lunch, but we felt like somehow the atmosphere doesn't absorb the noise of many conversations.

Bought my mom a Mother's Day gift certificate so she could try out this new place in Fayetteville. She waited to go till we were up there and could go with them. Love the ambiance and island vibes! The menu is huge with a little bit of everything for everyone. However nothing really knocks you right socks off. My Jerk Chicken Pineapple Bowl was Not spicy enough. Really more sweet teriyaki that spicy jerk as others have said. The Tuna Tostada Stack was Delicious though. Big app. Could be a meal. Overall it was just ok. The vibe is good. Our server was great but just ok.

As soon as you walk in, SO WELCOMING!! Smiles everywhere! The ambiance was fun, exciting and deliciousness everywhere you look! Josh was our waiter and was Excellent!! I saw other reviews nothing but ON POINT!! Josh was mentioned on 3 reviews and we were fortunate to meet him! Our drinks were exceptional and food AMAZING! When in town, it's a Must to visit here!!

I was happy to grab a seat at the bar on a very busy Friday night. It took a little while for my order to be taken but my server was nice. It seems like the other bartenders don't really acknowledge people they aren't serving even if they are right beside you which is a little bit of a bad vibe. I enjoyed my food a lot. It was a good flavor and was really hot. I would come back but maybe not sit at the bar next time. The drinks they were making looked really appealing but I didn't have one.

This place was a whole vibe with the live reggae music. The food and service was great and I enjoyed sitting outside. The drinks were on point and we can't wait to return.

The food here is really bland. Idk what they have against seasoning but they don't use any. On anything. The empanadas were bland, the lobster and shrimp pasta was OFFENSIVELY bland and couldn't be saved even with salt and pepper. The drinks are weak too I got two cocktails and both barely gave me a buzz. The service was amazing though I really liked Ebony.

This is my second review since they opened. I visited this time for 10 days and ate here everyday. There were slight variations in my order and I could tell who made my meal by the end. But I ordered the red snapper everyday. Everyday. And the Coconut shrimp twice. My food was always good and the service always top notch. I did sit at the bar every day with the exception of my first day when I ate outside for lunch. I will be back for drinks and the red snapper again. I've had a fantastic experience with service and food.

Went to Bahama Breeze for appetizers and drinks. We ordered a flight of margaritas which included coconut, watermelon, strawberry and regular margaritas. They were excellent and if you're not sure which flavor you like - this is a great option to try several flavors. Next we had appetizers. We ordered the garlic shrimp with bread, the curry beef empanada and the tuna tartar. All were excellent and we enjoyed. The dining room is pleasantly decorated in a Caribbean. theme reminding us of the islands, and the service we received was friendly and efficient. What's interesting, there is a display unit in each table where you can see photos of the dishes on the menu. While you can order through the unit, our waitress joked and asked that we don't as it will put her out of work! We had a good laugh at this amusing remark.

5 starsfor drinks made by Juice. Some drinks had garnishes and some didn't(made by other bartenders). 4 stars for food, its good not great. Would I eat it again? Yes. Appetizers- coconut shrimp were mildly warm but overall tasty. Dinner - skirt steak churrasco medium, it came out burnt and super well done and the overall plate looked a bit sad for $25. It comes with rice, beans and sweet plantains. My plate was missing the sweet plantains but the bartender was able to bring some out. - We also had the tequila salmon which my MIL said was also very good.

Had an amazing time here! We were greeted by everyone when we walked in, even the manager, I didn't catch her name but Our server Kalon, I hope I spelled his name right, was amazing, I started off with the Jerk wings and the shrimp and crab dip! I tried a bahamarita which was amazing, I got a side salad which was so fresh and the ranch was superb!!! I also ordered a sunset mimosa, and the cheesecake pineapple empanadas, I wasn't a fan of those, for some reason with the cheesebake warm, it was a little different for me, but overall all Of the food was delicious, nice clean atmosphere, our server had amazing recommendations and was so friendly and polite!

I came to visit my mom and decided to stop by Bahama Breeze. When I walked in I was greeted and informed that the wait will be 55 mins. We decided to go to the bar to have a few drinks while waiting on our table. Customer service: 7/10 I am going to give this rating due to lack of attention. We were sitting at least 15 minutes before having to ask who was our waiter/waitress. There were several employees huddling around talking. Drinks: 8/10 I started off with a Bahamarita I loved the presentation however, the drink was very bitter. I decided to get the Ultimate Pineapple and it was the best choice that I should have made the first time. The drink was very creamy and refreshing. I needed another one! Food 6/10 I ordered the paella the rice was very overcooked. The food was below room temperature. My sister enjoyed her jerk chicken breast with mash potatoes. The conch croquettes were all breading. My mom enjoyed her clam chowder. The DJ: 9/10 This was the best Dining experience of it all.

Our server was amazing & I wish we could remember her name! We made a reservation to ensure we didn't have to wait & they say us as soon as we checked in. It really felt like we were at the beach when sitting on the patio. The coconut shrimp was so good & each of our frozen drinks were made fantastic. The jerk chicken was great as well

The staff were great and very welcoming This was my first time and I really liked it The crab dip, coconut shrimp, red snapper and Mahi fish tacos were delicious. Great atmosphere

I love Bahama Breeze. The Raleigh location was one my favorite places to eat when I was in college. I went around 11 on 2/9. The food was about as expected. I had coconut shrimp and it was really good. I also had the jerk chicken pasta and I do feel it was not as flavorful as I've had in the past but it was still good. Also this location didn't do the parmesan, which maybe they just don't do at all anymore. My service was meh. The waitress knew I was looking at the drink menu but I feel more than ten minutes elapsed before I saw her again. I would say this was excusable but at that time the restaurant was not crowded. She also didn't refill my water. However I will say I was really impressed by the manager. Not only did he offer to refill my water when he noticed it was empty, he offered to get me a to go box and even packaged my leftovers.

Really busy so patience is needed. Empanadas were moist inside with light hint of curry. Ahi Tuna Salad was great.

Our party (3 adults / 1 child) arrived around 5:20 and were seated immediately. We placed our app order on the tablet provided before the server came. The apps came out and were great. 2 of the adults ordered drinks and one came out and was off so a shot was requested on the side. After several minutes the server came out with another drink. We were confused as this is not what was requested. I then ordered the margarita flight and after 20+ minutes it NEVER came. One of the adults ordered another drink after me and got his but I never got mine. I saw several flights being delivered to other tables. We were ready to get the check and boxes and told the server to take the drink flight off since it never came. He said he watched the bar but never saw it. This is the 2nd time here and compared to the first it was terrible service. Drinks took way too long. The food is great but this was terrible service today.

I have gone here two times already and our food and drinks have been amazing. Our servers have been great as well. The ambiance is fun and it's packed. I have enjoyed going here for dinner.

Above all the ambiance is what makes this place! Super uplifting and chill Bahama vibes and music! Food is pretty good, steak was tasty and the coconut shrimp was a fun surprise. Service was also great. Looking to try more food next time. UPDATE: Returned and tried the jerk chicken pasta which was good! The pineapple alcoholic drinks are absolutely AMAZING! please try it

First time here at this particular 'Bahama Breeze' in beautiful city of Fayetteville, NC. Walked in, greeted by five motivated hosts and hostesses. We got there at around11:45 am, it was getting pretty crowded. The server was knowledgeable and friendly. I started with a Virgin Ultimate Pineapple, it was the most refreshing, tasteful, and rewarding pineapple juice I had in years. I had the Baby back ribs with fries, cousin got the seafood paella, jerk pasta and salmon with yellow rice. I believe everyone's dishes was cook to perfection. This place is pretty good. I heard there's happy hour at 4 pm. It's a hit. I recommend this new restaurant to all who like a little Bahama Breeze in their system, you know what I mean I felt like they made the right location for this joint. Another outstanding new restaurant on Skibo Road Fayetteville, North Cackalacky! Thanks Bahama Breeze!

Positives: The curbside pickup works. The waitress was very nice. Negatives: Order was missing a meal. We caught it while the waitress was at the car bringing the food out. She went in to get our 2nd plate and came back with it about 8 minutes later. When I got home, I opened the plate and it was not what I ordered. To summarize my review. We were in Raleigh and planned to pick up dinner to bring back to Fayetteville. Hubby suggested we try the new one in Fayetteville. It was a disappointment. We should've went with our first plan of bringing the food back rather than trying the new spot in Fayetteville.

Have eaten in the one in Raleigh several times and liked it so tried the new one in Fayettetville. I had an offering off the lunch menu, a Cuban panini and a salad. Their house made vinaigrette is super tasty. Our server was attentive and sweet. The decor is light and well, breezy!

First time at this location - late Mother's Day meal. Great experience. Good portions for the price, love the atmosphere, awesome drinks, apps, entrees. Jah is in the running for one of the best waitresses we've ever had.

This was my family and my first time at this restaurant, our server Dominique was awsome. All the foods and drinks she recommended were on point. This restaurant is now my favorite spot when come back to the Fayetteville area to friends.

Im so disappointed....... Salmon was undercooked. I mean to the point where I could scrape the parasites out of it. "Cinnamon potatoes" was just yams without butter. The chef didnt even have the audacity to take the stems off the green beans. It was an overall mediocre experience. The only upside was the ambiance and decent decor.

Super loud inside. Luckily we were able to get a table outside. Food was good. The music outside was loud also.

Yikes, idk where to even begin. The service was terrible. which resulted in the whole being trash. not a good experience at all, and couldn't even tell the server because after apps we never saw her again. got our alcoholic beverages after our food, no refills, didn't even check on the food. which was gross and missing things, all of it which was just bad, so so bad.

When we arrived, after 10 minutes of sitting in our booth, I got back up and told the reception area that we hadn't placed a drink order yet. There were SIX people at the front; standing there talking. I went back to our booth and after another 5 minutes passed, a server came over and said she was 'back-logged' and would have to send another server over. After another 5 minutes or so, a server came over and took our order. The food arrived fairly quickly but it was cold! The French fries obviously had been cooked a while back. The coconut shrimp was thin and wasn't hot. My granddaughter said her sliders were good but her fries were also cold. The $8 pineapple drink we ordered was basically mush with very little liquid in it. The $45 tab was not worth what we'd experienced; not by a long shot. Will not be returning nor recommending this place!

Amazing food and services. Everyone was very nice but someone who stuck out to me was Taylor. She was a host, she was very attentive and kind! She made sure all our needs were met since we were pretty picky about where we wanted to sit. Everyone was so welcoming. Christopher refilled our drinks and got our sauces even when we were annoying him about sauces. we'll most definitely come back!!

The restaurant was very busy and loud- probably to be expected for a new place. The servers were all a bit confused and often went from table to table trying to figure out who ordered what. Our main server named Juice was great! We really enjoyed him. One of our main dinner entrees disappeared and we had to wait a LONG time to get it after asking about it. The general manager (maybe district manager?) nick-named the Magic Man for his hat making abilities solved our issue with a smile. We especially enjoyed the half price appetizers from 4-6pm, the drinks and the desserts. Grab some jerk wings!!! Yummy!

Been here a few times now, love the ambiance as someone who appreciates a little noise and a fun atmosphere. The first two times service was average as well as the food, besides the appetizers being 1/2 off during happy hour -- awesome deal we love that. First two times our service was pretty slow even with the restaurant being half full on a Tuesday/Wednesday at 4PM... yesterday we had an amazing experience at the bar after being told it would be a 35 min wait for a table at 5PM -- Queen Destiny at the bar is incredible and gave us outstanding service. She is an amazing bartender but also a very kind and enjoyable person to be around. We had a blast & we were so well taken care of. Thank you for everything Destiny!! We will be back soon!

The food was very bland. The server was very nice, I believe her name was Megan. She would check if everything was okay and recommended good drinks. The ambiance was, in my humble opinion, too much. It was very crowded and loud music blasting. Granted they did just open. Would not come back due to food lacking any good taste. Food 1/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 2/5

So much fun. Such great food with a real depth of flavor. My only complaint was one of the dishes we ordered didn't ever arrive. Fortunately or unfortunately, we would have been too full to eat it. Delicious!

Came in for late lunch on a weekday, still a little busy. Ordered conch fritter appetizers, fried a bit hard and mostly bread, sorry but true. The grilled Salmon and I was very pleased, rice was moist and they substituted the broccoli for me. Wife had their grilled chicken w/cilantro creama. Very tasty, both meals colorful with there fresh toppings. Service was prompt, our server awesome and he really liked his job! Why 4 stars, give me more product for the price. It's pricy here, which is fine if I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth.

The appetizers and drinks were amazing. I always come here for the food and service. Today's ambience continues to reflect that inviting feeling to return sooner for my next visit.

Mid, mediocre food served lukewarm. Weak drinks. Cool atmosphere with great potential. Too expensive for such small portions. Our server was nice.

Me and my wife ate here. The food was all right. Nothing too special. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. But it's definitely not worth a 2 hour wait. Or a month ahead Reservation. I think the reason why it's so busy. There is because it's new and everybody's flocking to it. But once the hype Die. It's gone. Then maybe be We will go back because standing around for 2 hours just to eat There was not worth the 2 hour wait also whoever made my drink that day it was supposed to be more of a tropical fruit flavor drink all you could taste was pure alcohol so you're bartenders are definitely over pouring trust me on that I'm a retired mixologist

Sunday afternoon lunch with family- party of 7. First time visit and will DEFINITELY be going back!!! Food- delicious, fresh and good portions- crab dip to die for! Atmosphere- very festive, beachy colors and clean! Our server Josh was extremely professional, attentive and was so friendly and courteous- took great care of us!!! Will definitely be going back- more menu items to try!

I'll start with the positive. The atmosphere decorations are fun and lively. We were excited to try this place for the first time. It took about 10 minutes after we sat down before anyone greeted us and took our drink orders. Then the waitress was taken aback when we didn't want any alcoholic beverages and only wanted sweet tea. We ordered the spinach artichoke appetizer. It was a good. The portion of dip was large, but we could have used more chips for an $11 app. When our orders came out, both dishes had ingredients on there we asked to be left off. We reluctantly asked them to fix my husbands "coconut" shrimp tacos which they did without hesitation. My bacon cheeseburger was easy to remove the item not desired, but when I bit into it, it was BURNED. So now we had to send two plates back to the kitchen. They fixed everything, but we had to wait another 30 mins for them to "fire" another burger. After we sent both plates back, we had multiple managers and other restaurant staff over checking on our table every 5 mins after that trying to overcompensate. Unfortunately, we didn't get the drink refills we asked for. We were comped for the burger. We quickly paid and left. Overall, there seemed to be a lot of confusion with the staff. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

The restaurant had an excellent menu and the welcoming service was outstanding. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back.

We waited almost an hour for a table (party of 4) when we were told it was a 25 minute wait. Then we ended up with an appetizer that wasn't ordered, just asked about, ticket ended up split when it wasn't supposed to be, took forever for drink refills, and a to go box. Way too overpriced for so so food.

Recognizing this place is fairly new, there is a ton of room for improvement. We waited 35 minutes for a draft beer, only to be told they didn't have what was even ordered, then waited for a replacement. (We were charged for both). Appetizer: Firecracker Shrimp was served quickly but was very bland. Food: Mahi was very overcooked on the fish tacos. Shrimp and Lobster Linguine was extremely bland. Definitely a waste of a plate. The ambiance is nice, but the service is very lacking and the kitchen clearly doesn't care what they're serving.

Stopped here for lunch. The wait was 20 minutes but that was to be expected as it is a new location. The seafood chowder was delicious and the skirt steak was good. I really enjoyed the sides of plantains, rice and black beans. We will definitely be back.

Went to Bahama Breeze in Fayetteville today. I want to commend the Kitchen Manager for correcting my dish that was served this afternoon. I came there about 2:30pm and everything was great until I was served my entree did not have what I had modified in the dish. It took a very long time for it to be corrected (almost 30 min), but when it finally did come it was perfectly cooked beyond my expectations! The Manager then comped my meal and apologized for the long wait. For only being open a short time this restaurant is already showing they're willing to do whatever needs to be done to rectify the situation and do so with superior customer service. Needless to say I will definitely be back! Thank you that Manager specifically and to the servers who were wonderful as well. In an area saturated with chain restaurants that aren't worth the sign they hang...this one stands out!

I went to Bahama Breeze for a birthday celebration and I ordered the "Beef Empanadas," which is my favorite food.. and it was absolutely disgusting and didn't feature beef whatsoever. Then, I thought I could make my dinner better with my entree, which was an "Applewood Bacon and Cheddar Burger." But no. They messed that up too by giving me a very undercooked and sloppy burger after it took them an hour and 30 minutes to bring out my food. Will never eat here again and I DEFINITELY wouldn't eat here for a casual dinner. The servers were nice though.

Not sure why there are such poor reviews and they just opened...my husband and I sat at the bar and really enjoyed ourselves. The drinks and food were great. 10/10 for the Jerk wings and Ahi Tuna appetizers ..We would definitely come back.

Slow staff, water took 10 minutes to get to our table, and alcoholic Drinks arrived AFTER our dinner ~35 minutes after we were seated. they didn't tell me they were out of a beer one of us wanted until the meal was brought. It was very awkward. While we waited we watched the crew behind the bar flop like fish while a sea of waiters waited for their tables drinks, maybe that's to fit the beach theme. Overall waste of time and money, very disappointing. Wouldn't bring my family here ever again.

Food was what is expected from a chain. Busy night so wait was reasonable until we were told our table was ready, we had a large group. Closed out our bar tab and went to check in, at which we were told table would be about 5 minutes, luckily still had our seats at the bar so decided to wait there, 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes , and then 20 plus then we were asked to leave the bar as customers waiting. Never had this happen before.

Went last Friday for a table of 10 and we got accommodated very well even if were walk-in. Super nice ambience, very refreshing and clean restrooms. Waited a little while for the food but everything tastes good and fresh and even the drinks (not in the pic). Will definitely come back!
