Bahama Breeze

went here with a gift certificate for the olive garden figured we try something different then the olive garden being we eat there a lot. Anyway I got a bacon cheeseburger that was done to perfection.. The bun was what made this.. The portion of frys was also big and the burger was far in size. Waiter and staff was very helpful when ordering. will visit again.  Also sit outside on a hot day.. Feels like your in jamacia

I've been here a few times but never to any other location in this restaurant chains, so I don't know how it compares within the chain.

I think the menu is interestingly different from the usual chain restaurant fare. This makes it hard to determine what I would like and not like, so it is a game of trial and error. For example, I wasn't too fond of the yuca fries but I liked the chicken curry and fish tacos.

Menu prices are above average but I think one can still justify an occasional visit. Service was good. I thought the mouthwash in the restroom was an unusual amenity but I guess one might need it after having west indies spicy food. Also, they have free wi-fi internet.

My girls decided they wanted something different today. So, instead of going to the cheesecake factory we decided to go to Bahama Breeze.  Bad mistake, the waitress asked us if we were in a hurry, we said no.  Then, she decided to try and rush us out ASAP.  We ordered the chicken wings and beef empanadas for appetizers.  Both were very good!! Everything else went down-hill from there. The plates she gave us were greasy and had food stuck on them.  I could see she noticed because her thumb left a finger print in one of the grease spots.  But she left them anyway until we asked for new ones.  
   "The macaroni saggy, the peas all mushed and the chicken taste like wood".  There was a dried up french fry in the bottom of my yuca fries, which tasted like they were fried in old, dirty oil.  So did my daughter's shrimps.  My oldest got the lobster and shrimp quesadias which had a very sparse amount of chopped up shrimp pieces.  They may have had essence of lobster but no visible lobster to bite into.  Finally, I had the fish tacos.  The flour tortilla was hard and cracked when I tried to pick it up.  The fish inside looked anemic and tasted just the way it looked.  The girls both had lemon aid which tasted like lemon syrup.  In fact, I put a quarter of a cup of lemon aid into my ice tea and it made my tea too sweet.  When my daughter asked for a glass of water the waitress brought out a glass of steaming hot water.  I still don't understand what that was about. Who puts steaming hot water in a glass?  Why?  The cheesecake factory is worth the wait..
