We always like this restaurant! We love appetizers! This time the chicken was tasty but the churrasco needed flavor. However, it was a nice time there. The service was delayed although the girl who served us did her best. And our dessert was delicious!

Admittedly, I underestimated the salad I got based on appearance versus the description but I was so wrong. It and the shrimp were so full of flavor, even more-so with the sauces. The frozen bahamarita was a bit too sweet for my taste but good nonetheless. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 would certainly recommend

Overall, it was not a bad dining experience. Drinks and appetizers were the best parts of the meal. The crispy conch fritters ( delicious 🤤) and the beef empanadas (delicious 🙂) were especially good, and I would highly recommend it. We had Pineapple-Coconut Martini (delicious 🤤), ultimate pineapple (delicious 🤤), Jamaican Stuffed Pineapple Bowl ( meh😐), and crispy and johnny cake ( meh 😐). The wait times were a bit longer, and there was some confusion with the orders, but our waitress Za'Mani was friendly and professional and was well knowledgeable about new and past menu items.

Good food but fair service! First the hostess just stared at us (3 people) and then looked at her phone. Then after the manger walked over, she grabbed menus and seated us. Then the waitress came by and looked at us at the table. But didn't say anything. Just smiled at us. Then she went back into the kitchen area and proceeded to clean 3 other tables near by. Then after that, she disappeared for approximately 15 minutes. Then she came and took our orders. She didn't know the specials or tell us about the happy hour drinks. She just seemed, "checked out" After about 10 minutes, she brought the drinks and the appetizer. But no plates. Or water we all asked for. Then when the main course came, I had to remind her of the glasses of water. Then without checking on us, (There were only 3 other tables with customers at them) or asking were we ordering dessert she just started doing the check on the table order screen. All in all, the service was less than fair to downright poor. But the drinks and food were really good!

Dropped by Bahama Breeze for an afternoon bite on Friday . Their menu advertises half price apps until 6 pm so we ordered the crab dip, conch fritters, coconut shrimp, empanadas and chicken tostones. The food was fantastic!!! Very nice ambience and great server rounded out our experience. Thank you for a very pleasant afternoon.

My family and I came here for dinner again after a while, and ordered some new dishes that we haven't tried before. I definitely enjoyed the Jerk Chicken and Shrimp Pineapple Bowl. We were able to sit in the indoor patio section which was warm and toasty with the heating lamps. There also happened to be a small private party on the side with a live singer/band. Our server was very helpful and accommodating as well. Definitely a place to visit every once in a while.

I visited this restaurant in August 2023. My mom had never been to any of your restaurants so we decided to give it a try. Let's just say I spoke too soon. Upon ordering our drinks we were told the sodas were flat. I inquired whether a discount will be given for having flat sodas and was told no. I know every business is short staffed but it literally took forever to get our food and drinks and the restaurant was empty. The lemonade that was served was so tart and sour and tasted as though a whole bottle of lemon juice was served. My Shirley temple I ordered was beyond flat. It tastes as though cough syrup was added. The empanadas were really delicious and my uncle enjoyed his shrimp. But waited forever for our actual entrees to come out. At no time were any updates given. When we received our food we had no silverware. We had to take it from an empty table. When my mom received her food her rice was hard and cold as if it was old rice they served. She did enjoy her salmon. I ordered chicken pasta with broccoli and asparagus. When my food came out it did not have asparagus. By this time we were ready to leave and called for the manager Octavia. We informed Octavia of our disappointment in the food. Octavia did take some of the items off of our bill. I hope the service here improves. I won't be returning to this location.

Part of Darden restaurants, we opted to come here instead of Olive garden because we like the menu better. Given its tropical theme, there are plenty of mixed drinks, as well as steaks, chicken, seafood, salads and other entrees. The bean and avocado tacos were good except that I didn't realize the beans were breaded/fried instead of being allowed to shine on their own. The skirt steak was also well seasoned. I expected the chocolate mousse cake to be very rich but it wasn't too bad...all the flavors were milder than expected and not overly chocolatey. Service wasnt bad and prices were not that far off from Olive garden. It wasn't overly busy on a Saturday evening which was nice. Perhaps this is because the theme of the restaurant is opposite to the season. There's a covered parking lot available or you can park outside but you'll have to walk a little. The mall has a Kohl's, homegoods, Nordstrom Rack, Whole Foods, Target, Nike, J Crew factory, Cava, Lands End etc.

Chain restaurants at malls can be a huge hit or miss. Bahama Breeze is a Caribbean restaurant that aspires to bring you back to the islands. I've been at this location twice for Happy Hour, which is Monday-Friday 4-6 and Sunday-Thursday 9-11. I was in between 3 and 4 stars because of the lack of consistency in food and drinks. PROS: -Drink prices range from $3-$6 for specialty cocktails, wine, and beer -Half off appetizers with biiiiig portions! Two appetizers can fill you up like a full meal. -Amazing service! The bartenders and servers are always super sweet and attentive -Fun/laidback atmosphere that plays Caribbean tunes (dembow, dancehall, reggaeton, etc.) CONS: -Food quality seems to be inconsistent...? I've ordered the beef empanadas, firecracker shrimp, and tuna tostada. During my first visit, everything was excellent. On my second visit, it was just okay :/ There was a smaller amount of beef filling in the empanadas. The sriracha aioli sauce was nowhere close to being spicy... so much for FIREcracker shrimp. My favorite was the tuna tostada. -The drinks aren't that strong. I've had the margarita, pina colada, and Bahamarita. They either taste too watered down or too artificial/sugary... like it was made from a pre-made mix at a grocery store. If you want a real buzz... take some shots and throw it back. Overall... I would recommend giving their Happy Hour a chance just for the price and big portions alone. If you're a fan of sweet frozen island drinks, then give it a try.

At the end of the day, just OK food. I've been pleasantly surprised at how good the food has been at many of the restaurant chains I frequented in the past few years, so the standard has definitely been raised for me. So in comes Bahama Breeze - unfortunately for it. We dropped in on a random Thursday evening at around 6pm and the restaurant wasn't crowded, as expected, but there were still more people than I would think would dine here on a Thursday. Before I get into the food, let me start by saying - the staff was very friendly here - from the folks at the front to our waitress. Everyone was great with their greetings, etc. Fantastic in that area. As the name of the chain suggests, the menu - food, drinks - is Caribbean-inspired, so lots and lots of seafood - mostly shrimp and fish - to choose from on the menu. Also, they offer a happy hour menu prior to 6pm daily, which we took FULL advantage of since it was 50% off of drink specials and appetizers. Actually, because it was 50% off appetizers, we ordered 2 of them for good measure! We ended up getting the following: Crispy Conch Fritters Coconut Shrimp Skirt Steak Churrasco with rice, beans and maduros Blackened Mahi Tacos Virgin Ultimate Pina Colada First, the appetizers. Good. Solid. The Coconut Shrimp were deep fried and even our kids loved it. The Fritters weren't my cup of tea because I've never been a huge conch fan, but still decent. For the Skirt Steak Churrasco, which we were really looking forward to, the steak was PERFECT. The chimichurri on top of it was the icing on the cake and really added a nice flavorful kick to it. Definitely a winner there. The maduros were nice and soft too. The beans though were a bit on the salty side. Unfortunately, we couldn't rave the same way about the Blackened Mahi Tacos. Massive disappointment to say the least. We love fish tacos, but this was an absolute disaster. The mahi was overcooked, dry and not very tasty. It didn't matter what sauce it was covered in. Nothing could help it. As for the Ultimate Pina Colada. Meh. A bit on the watery side for us. It was a nice attempt to add a little bit of pizzaz to the pina colada, but wasn't close to the best we've had. Overall, our experience was still decent here. The appetizers and Churrasco were a hit, but the Mahi Tacos and Pina Colada were a miss. The restaurant was plenty spacious, which we liked. Not sure if we'll be back, but the menu did have lots else to offer.

A great place to eat after an Apple Picking day. The food, service and ambiance were great. We enjoyed our food and I especially enjoyed my shrimp pineapple and drink on 10/14/24.

Jerk chicken is good, empanadas we're great, and skirt steak was ok. Kid enjoyed the Mac and cheese even though it was a bow tie pasta. Drinks were good and not too overpriced. I recommend the Rum Runner if you want some alcohol. Other drinks were overly sweet and sour. The waitress seemed new, but she did great. Also, can't go wrong with Island themed decor. Overall, not too shabby.

The food was very good. Served hot. We had appetizers and drinks. I received an email with Happy Hour prices and special ms so I was quite surprised that no where was this advertised in the restaurant. The service was good. It was a Thursday night so it was slow but a nice atmosphere. We thought the employees looked happy and were impressed that they all were wearing proper uniforms with name tags. I know the struggle getting all employees to cooperate. We would have liked if the spinach dip came with celery and carrots. Overall we were pretty pleased.

Unfortunately, I did not love this place. One of the things that I didn't like the most was the service our waitress was not sensitive to us and we were left asking for a simple things like water and utensils. I saw someone with a similar drink, which was the pineapple, coconut martini, and they had a pineapple on their drink while I didn't. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't good, it was just okay. I gave some stars for the outdoor seating and the conch fritters that my mom in law loves.

Was on Rte4 in Paramus and wanted to stop for a quick bite ...Got there without knowing and it was happy hour. The seating was quick ,the waitress was excellent I even told the manager about her when he stopped by the table 3-4 times , was in the bar area fun atmosphere ,drinks were perfect , and came quick overall I can't wait to try it here again when I have a little more time.

Went for lunch specials (even on Saturdays). Not a lot of options; and some like the 4-coconut shrimp will not be enough as a meal. We got 2 tacos each with a side so picked the seafood chowder- was ok, and the cup was really a small bowl. Coconut shrimp tacos had 3 pcs of shrimp each. Mahi-mahi tacos were more satisfying. Both tasty at least. Virgin bahamarita was colorful but really just flavored slushees. Service is good. Nice tropical indoor decor and bright building colors outside. Small Parking lot but can also go to the parking lot in the Bergen Town Center behind it.

This was a fun place! Food was good: large sizes, flavored perfectly, and they can customize the plates. However, the service was a bit off: we asked for a booth, and they placed us at this weird small table in the center. We asked what happened and they said they forgot and would move us...15 minutes later they say they seated other people there because they forgot (AGAIN) and we had to stay at the weird table. Then I asked for a strawberry mock tail and the waitress said they don't have the strawberry flavor I asked for. I said I don't drink, so what drink does she recommend? She said the strawberry mojito - great! Then I smell it and I'm like this smells like rum, and I was right. Even though I said I don't drink she gave me an alcoholic drink. She then said "well mojitos have alcohol, you didn't know that?" I know that, but I specifically asked for non alcoholic so I assumed they were virgin mojitos since I literally just said that! She kept saying she assumed I knew it was alcoholic even though I asked for a non alcoholic drink. She took it off the bill, but then my iced tea came after all the food came, when the bill was there. She was nice the rest of the night. But then my guests also got the wrong drinks (we ordered mango flavored but got melon). But they wouldn't fix it. It was nice, but no one ever apologized for the mixups. Which was a little upsetting. I'd go again, but would be very vigilant about what is being recommended to me.

It's Thank you Thursday..so Bahama Breeze thank you for being you! You have been my go to restaurant for the last few years. I have had many great memories bringing all my friends and family here. The Caribbean music and aesthetic always makes me feel like I'm on vacation I love that you have a day and late night happy hour! My go to has always been the firecracker shrimp and the bahama mama! For entrees there's so many great options but my favorites are the chicken and greens salad, shrimp and lobster linguini, and chicken with cilantro crema. Thank you again :)

The 3 cheese crab dip was very good but a small portion compared to the chips given. The beef empanadas were very juicy with flaky puff pastry. The wings tasted ok, but were not fresh and were quite brown on the inside. Our server was very nice and attentive . However We waited a very long time to receive the paella even though the restaurant was not busy and when we did, the rice was super salty and the chorizo sausage was very burnt. While they removed paella from the final bill, we were told the manager was going to come and meet us. We waited 10-15 minutes only to be told that the manager couldn't make it. The atmosphere was nice with great music but Parking is scarce in front of the establishment but you can park in the parking garage behind the restaurant.

Our first visit to Bahama Breeze Paramus was a success. It was a hot day, so we sat inside. Our server, Francisco, was prompt, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed a shrimp appetizer, chicken, and a swordfish dinner add to that a flight of margaritas, which were quite good. We will be back!

I probably would've given 4 stars if it wasn't for the service. We visited on Mother's Day and yes, we expected it to be busy. We added ourselves to the 2 hour waitlist. They called us after the 2 hours and tried seating us at a high top table. Normally we wouldn't mind but we had a baby and needed a high chair. They told us to wait some more... after a while we noticed that more and more people were getting called and some with parties as big as ours. We went up to the hostess and learned that inside was for reservations only and only the outside with limited seating was for non-reservation. They should've told us that considering there weren't many low tables outside. We might have gone elsewhere. After speaking to the manager, we were able to get seated. Our waitress didn't provide the best service and I already knew it would happen considering we weren't seated on the best terms. The food made up for the entire experience. The yuca cheese sticks were basically mozzarella sticks but what really made it great were those sauces! The chicken tostada salad... DELICIOUS. I look forward to eating here again and will likely order the salad again lol. It was just so good!

We went for happy hour on Friday the place was practically empty we sat at the bar and after a while we moved to a table in the bar area. We were a group of 7 after about fifteen minutes we finally got someone to take our drinks order, we waited another fifteen minutes or so, no waiter there was a tall man with gray hair with a ponytail my friend tried to get his attention by calling him, he totally ignored her. We waited ten more minutes and we got up and left, this was my first time there I would never come back.

The food here is delicious!! I was a little skeptical because it's attached to Olive Garden (the worst of the Darden restaurants), but we had a great experience. Staff is super friendly and efficient. The food is reasonably priced and has great flavor, especially considering it's a chain...I love the Yuca Cheese Sticks and burgers. We were surprised by the somewhat messy presentation of the Chocolate Island, but it tasted delicious. The ultimate pineapple (without alcohol) was very sweet and fruity, and it was only $5.

Raquel was a great help for everything we needed. she was kind and thoughtful. she went above and beyond to make our night and food right. you couldn't ask for a better manager in a crisis and she is definitely an asset to the company. she is the only reason we will come back to this restaurant.

Not a great place , been there twice , an both times they had no tap beer , they said they were all out, I guess to try to sell us bottle beer for more money , secondly we were there an they told us they had Stella beer on tap, on sale $3 a pint , so we said that's fine , but when the bill came it said $7 for each of the Stella , oh an another person that was with us had a miller lite bottle , it was almost 18 months over expired, so for me an for us bottom line is go somewhere else , oh an the food is below average, tipical cheeseburger with fries , an the tipical chkn sandwich, so here it is, SERVICE - 3/5 BEER - 1/5 FOOD- 3/5 PRICES - 2/5 LOOK AT OTHER PLACES, with more options for beers,

I'd categorize this place as a step above fast food, most certainly not a Caribbean dining experience. Adding the words "jerked" and "Caribbean", don't make it Caribbean. If you're not Caribbean or have never been to the islands, this place is for you. I went on a Saturday evening, with a large group (10ppl). We ordered the spinach artichoke dip, guac, and yuca/cheese sticks as appetizers. The guac is most certainly not made in house. You can taste it. None of the seasonings/ingredients used in guac were noticeable (ie lime, salt, cilantro). It was meh. The chips were a little stale too. I ordered the magi tacos- not awful. I ordered the mahi tacos. The fish was on the dry side- but it was passable. One person at the table got the shrimp and rice pineapple bowl. The rice wasn't cooked right. The alcoholics drinks were probably the best parts of the meal. Everyone enjoyed them. I got a virgin colada- very sweet. Not my thing. Lastly- service. Everything was a wait. When our food hit the table- the waitress didn't come by to check on us. At one point we thought all the employees were outside. Twenty (25) mins later, we had to find someone for take home boxes. And then again we waited to find our waiter for the check. There was no one rounding consistently. The place could also be cleaner. The tables were sticky and several bulbs were out which made us wonder if it was dim to hide that housekeeping wasn't up to snuff. On the bright side, the women's restroom was clean. If you're tired after shopping and want to eat appetizers and have cocktails- this is the place. If you're looking for quality dining experience... hard pass.

Food was great, drinks a little stronger than I would have liked it was good. Restaurant nicely decorated, lights drawn low for a romantic atmosphere. The only downfall is not having a location closer to home. :( I read the reviews and contemplating not dining with them, I'm content with my decision to experience the ambiance for myself. The restaurant is spacious and my server was okay. She wasn't super friendly, but she was polite. She wasn't one that would engage in small talk but again polite. I would definitely return if in the area and highly recommend them. I came shortly before 4pm during the week so I took advantage of the half off appetizer and drinks special.

Poor service. Mediocre food. And way out of place for being in New Jersey. Not sure if the service is poor regularly, but our server wasn't around much, even when the wrong appetizer was dropped off at our table.

I avoid chains like the plague however I've heard positive things from friends who know me well and after a day of hard work I was not about to cook or go far which is what led me here. We were seated distanced inside from the other tables having been closed off. We were able to reorder drinks and our apps from a tablet. For app we shared conch fritters. Five small fried balls with a very sweet but delicious mustard sauce. They were a bit chewy but flavor was good. For entree I ordered Mahi tacos, delicious but pieces of fish were half the size of the picture. The side of tostones were good and crispy. My mom had the light portion of Shrimp and Mahi with Lemongrass. Lots of shrimp for portion size and delicious too. COVID protocols were followed and I was also able to pay on the tablet with Apple Pay.

I went on a Saturday evening for an early dinner . I made a reservation on open table a few days prior which is recommended because if you don't you will have to wait . We were seated outside but inside dining is available . Our server was good and extremely attentive . I had the Bahamarita which wasn't a favorite of mine but it looked pretty lol my friend had a Bahama mama which he said was really good and strong . We also had a 5 dollar special drink called rum runner which was fruity and refreshing. For an appetizer we had the beef empanadas which comes with 4 pieces . It was good but had a little hint of curry so I would be mindful if you don't like that flavor . I had the Calypso shrimp which was good but the food came out cold . my friend had the jerk chicken Pasta . He said it was Okay at best. I'm not sure I would ever return since the food wasn't really a fav of mine ..

Typical chain restaurant with over-salted food, but definitely a lively atmosphere with music - it does have "Bahama" in the name after all! The food was ok, as mentioned a bit salty, and also the appetizer portion of the guac was really small. However, we sat outside on the patio and the atmosphere was cute, and the drinks are fun. The dessert, key lime pie, was really good. The waiter, Sinclair, was really accommodating and nice, so that helped too. I'd go back, but probably not as my first option.

I went for Happy Hour on 10/25/21. I had the salmon dinner and it was great. My bf had coconut shrimp tacos & fries. The service wasn't good. And the drinks weren't strong at all And that's why I'm giving 4 stars. We came to get drunk for half off and didn't. Also the drinks came out in different glasses due to the dishwasher not working. The food was great. We Should've just had it delivered.

I would have given this place a three/four star but there were a few things that I did not particularly enjoy when I went for dinner with my friend and daughter. This isn't the first time that I have been to a Bahama breeze but it is my first time in this location. When we went, we had about a 30 minute wait when there were plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. We wanted to sit outdoors because there was a live DJ playing and the music was good music. We decided since we came at 9 PM and they had a late night happy hour to get a few appetizers. We decided to get the beef empanadas (which were probably my favorite thing on the menu!!!)) The crab and avocado stack (our least favorite thing on the menu), and the coconut shrimp. We also got a pineapple coconut martini which was absolutely amazing but missing the pineapple garnish , and a Bahama mama which came with a shot on the side. For our entrées we got the shrimp and lobster linguine along with the Jamaican stuffed plantain bowl. The linguine was to die for but we were not a fan of the rice that came with the Jamaican plantain bowl. Now the reason why this place gets 2 Stars is because there was someone who came in with their dog for outdoor dining, but all of the waitresses were bending over to touch the dog to see him. It was highly upsetting since our waitress had taken a very long time to not only bring our drinks, but even something as simple as water with lemons. It's Not that the night waitresses were not nice, but it very deeply frustrating that I was able to count waitresses touching a dog on 2 hands and it gave be the uneasy feeling of not even knowing whether they wash their hands or not. I'm not sure if I would be coming here again but if I do I would expect a discount on my next time here!!!! I was very disappointed with the way that the service ran. We even asked for extra Parmesan cheese so we can have it on our pastor and it took about 10 minutes before she was able to come, and only came with a very small bowl when they was too large dishes of pasta.. I even have my phone number linked for points and because i wanted out ur said F*** it and hope i can call to still get my points. Very disappointed.

I would have been able to review this place if after 26 minutes a server would have come to our table. After asking three different people if they could take our order, a young man came over to us and said the reason we weren't served was because we sat ourselves. Really? Did he really believe we went behind the hostess desk, took 6 menus and walked around until we found a table? At this point we left, went to Maggiano's Little Italy and received A1 service. Will never go back to Bahama Breeze again.

If I could give zero stars I would. We sat for over 15 mins with no service at all. Two tables that came in after us got their drinks and appetizers before we were even greeted. As we left, the host didn't even recognize that we had just gotten there and were already leaving. Don't go here!

I went there last night. The place was empty and waited to get a table. I was told there were no table's outside. They sat us in a corner and never came over to take our order. We then went outs to sit and they said we couldn't sit there. We left and went to another restaurant. If I couldn't sit anywhere in a empty restaurant then you certainly can't cook my food

Unimpressive food and just ok service. We stopped by Bahama Breeze in Paramus for early dinner in Aug 2022. It was our first time trying this chain so perhaps expectations were set higher than they should've. Except one dish the food was mostly unimpressive, lacking the spices and flavor you would expect from good Caribbean cuisine. The service was ok but while the food was served it was impossible to find anybody to ask from some hot sauce. Unfortunately, the place didn't meet expectations neither on food nor on service and we are not going back. Appetizers: Classic Wings with Buffalo sauce - wings were ok. Nothing special, but pretty decent. Guacamole & Chips - no salt, no spice, no onion, no flavor. Just an avocado mass... Mains: Jamaican Jerk Chicken - the chicken was tender, juicy, and baked to perfection. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with "Jamaican Jerk". It completely lacked jerk flavor, spices, taste variety and color. It was just bland and it was a big disappointment :( Chicken Pineapple Bowl - it looked delicious but suffered the same problem as Jerk chicken - very little flavor and somewhat bland taste. Disappointing too. Tequila Sunburn Salmon - this was the only dish that was actually very good and delicious. Great flavor and excellent combo of spices. We cannot recommend this restaurant but we'll give Bahama Breeze chain one more try in some different location. Hopefully, the issue is just this specific location not the chain overall.

Sat at a table for about 20 minutes and no one came to help so we left which is unfortunate because I excited to try the food. Two separate tables arrived after we did and were served drinks and appetizers.

Went for dinner 4/30/22. Cocktails were great. I got a flight with three different cocktails to try. Excellent price point and enjoyed them. Our son had a cheeseburger and I tasted that. It was good. I ordered the grilled chicken dish with corn and broccoli. I was disappointed. The chicken was really chewy. It did not taste like real chicken. Wendy's chicken sandwich tastes better. It was like a patty of some sort. My husband ordered the salmon and it was really fishy which made me think it was not fresh. We sent it back with no problem. We ordered the bowtie pasta and chicken dish. Very tasty however the chicken was thinly sliced like a cold cut. Same chewy chicken. Service was great. Disappointed in the food will not be going back.

I came here on a Saturday night for the first time not knowing that this is a chain restaurant just like Applebee's. It was busy, we waited about 20 mins to be seated. Our server was very attentive & professional. The service was super fast. Overall the service was very good however I did not like that they brought appetizers & entrees all together and the food wasn't that great. I had the crab and three cheese dip and the grilled chicken with cilantro crema. The Chicken was very rubbery and the crema had a very distinctive taste! It was a bit bitter.

After shopping at the North Bergan Mall, my family member and I stopped in for lunch. The restaurant is a nice size and it wasn't too crowd. The food was good, I won't say great but good. I have the jerk chicken pineapple bowl. My relative had the jerk chicken pasta, we ordered Buffalo chicken wing for an appetizer, nin alcoholic drinks. Our waiter was very nice but due to staff shortage he was having a difficult time with all of his assigned tables. Additionally the restaurant needed to be cleaned a little better but again I contribute this to staff shortage.
