Bahama Breeze - Wesley Chapel – Lutz

One of my all time favorite resturants, ever. Never had a bad experience, food is always delicious, and service isn't bad.

Bahama Breeze by the Tampa Premium Outlets is an absolute gem! I stopped in for a casual meal and left already planning my next visit. The atmosphere is laid-back and vibrant—like a mini island getaway right in the heart of Wesley Chapel. Great music, beautiful decor, and a breezy outdoor patio made the experience even better. The coconut shrimp tacos were the star of the show—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the fresh slaw and sweet chili glaze. Easily some of the best tacos I’ve had in the area. The menu overall offers a great mix of Caribbean-inspired dishes and drinks, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the exceptional service from Blair, our waiter. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. He offered great recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and kept the energy fun and upbeat throughout our meal. You can tell he takes pride in making sure guests have a great time. Whether you’re shopping at the outlets or just looking for a relaxed place to enjoy amazing food and drinks, Bahama Breeze is a must-visit—and ask for Blair if you can! 🌴🍤🌮

Delicious generous portions and an amazing waiter Travis Great decor and spacious too!

Bahama Breeze is an easy choice when you want to make sure everything goes right. I love their coconut shrimp tacos and was pleased to see they just updated their menu with a few more tasty options. I tried the sweet potatoes and they were delicious! And the hot honey mango margarita is perfection!! The mood is always relaxed and cheery, the service is solid, the restaurant is clean, and even though they are a chain, Bahama Breeze is certainly a solid bet.

Today we visited Bahama Breeze for the first time and absolutely loved it, Will definitely be back! The atmosphere, food and service were all great! Scott was our server and he was so wonderful, very attentive and friendly. He was definitely the best server we’ve had in a very long time. All of the food tasted so fresh and was cooked very well. My chicken breast was so juicy and delicious and we loved the beef empanadas app too!

We had an amazing experience and the food was great as well. We got the Strawberry Mojito and Tito's Beachside Strawberry Breeze for drinks, the Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon Grilled Top Sirloin Steak for our entrée. Blake was our server and he was very good, remembered everything. Awesome date night dinner.

Beef Empanadas were great as usual! Tried the new menu item, the Crispy Chicken & Johnny Cakes, and I enjoyed most of it. That cakes (pancakes) were dry and very dense. The chicken was crispy and very juicy, but I recommend asking for extra pickles. I def would sub the mashed sweet potato they are too mashed (if that's a thing...it's more so a puree), and I was not a fan at all. FYI, it's not made in-house, so that probably plays a part in the texture. The Jamaican Stuffed Plantain Bowl was good, and the flavor was all there. You have to like sweet Plantain to enjoy the dish, so if you're not in that club, stay away, lol. Travis was an amazing waiter and was super attentive. If you're seated with him, you're in good hands. Cups stayed filled with beverages, and the table stayed clear. We were happy to be seated with him.

Nice collection of cocktails and margaritas. The food was really nice and service was very quick even though it was almost full capacity. The ambience is great. They have live music on Friday and Saturday evening I guess. We are yet to check out but overall a very highly recommended restaurant 🙂

We had a great meal with my wife and daughter. The place is very nice decorated and service was awesome. The desert was good also. We had the empanadas of beef and the coconut shrimps and also the jerk mahi mahi which was a great choice

Amazing food I deeply enjoyed the pineapple bowl, awesome touch to have it in a pineapple. The atmosphere is nice and peaceful to enjoy. There's no overwhelming areas, as it's very well broken up with seating. There is a nice balance between dim lighting at the table and overhead lights. The staff team was extremely nice and welcoming and allowed us to get seated right away in a booth like we requested. I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time as it makes seating and service much faster and easier.

I've been to different Bahamas Breeze's and have always had a solid experience. However, this experience was perfect. The staff, server, food, drinks, everything was perfect. I spent a $100 w/ tip for two which included an appetizer, one round of drinks, and two entrées. It's little steep for my normal spending habits however, I will say it was worth it which is rare for me. I usually feel I can make what I order at home but not the case this go round. The food was fantastic and worth ever penny. Our server Cynthia was amazingly sweet and fantastic.

Gotta give it a 5+ star for the service, food and atmosphere at this location. Sam our server was excellent with the live Caribbean music being played by the band made it all just right! 👍🏽

The wife and I just came down for a weekend, I found this place near our hotel. I've never been here before; but I tell you, I will be back! Service was excellent, and the food was OUTSTANDING! Thank you to our sever Triston for all your info on the food, your suggestion was spot on.

First time at Bahama Breeze, the food was amazingly delicious, great flavors and presentation, the drinks were also very tasty. Our waiter was very friendly and tentative. The only downside of this was that we decided to sit outside to enjoy the nice weather but there were a lot of flies and mosquitoes around making it quite uncomfortable. Other than that, recommended 9.5 out of 10.

We were greeted at the door. Everyone talked to us Host and other food servers. Our waitress was great and friendly, checking on us through our meal. Bojo was our food server, she was great. Food was excellent! Yummy

Wonderful place to unwind on a Friday night after a looooong week. Cocktails and appetizers and sorry, no kids tonight. Great live music.

First time at location. We went on a Thursday in the area. Was seated properly and our Waiter was so great. Forgot his name but he did a awesome job. Wings, Fries, and Drinks were very fresh, hot, and tasty. Definitely recommend this place.

We just left this restaurant. I'm not sure what I expected but this far exceeded it. The atmosphere is casual. The decor matches the Jamaican theme quite well. The food was well-seasoned and the servings are good-sized. I'll definitely be back!

We had our daughter’s Sweet 16 dinner at the Lutz location with approx 30 family and friends. With prior arrangements, a private room was made available that had plenty of space for us all to visit and mingle. The atmosphere was great and the facilities were very clean and welcoming. The food was fantastic, especially delicious and flavorful. Considering the size of our group, the food was out in a very timely fashion and accurately prepared. We were also able to take advantage of their happy hour specials on appetizers and drinks that kept the pricing very friendly. With all that said, what really made the experience above and beyond was the service. We were offered two servers, Emily, W. and Rafael N., they were absolutely fantastic! Our drinks were never empty, our tables were never cluttered with old dishes and they seemingly knew exactly what we wanted next. During the busy evening, I am sorry I did not catch the managers name, he was very polite, very kind and checked on us frequently to be sure that there was nothing we needed. Overall, they made our evening a great success, handling our group with ease made our evening more enjoyable, Thank you Bahama Breeze! -Robert

Has plenty for outdoor seating for those of us where that is still a priority. In spite of a full parking lot Service was quick. Our server, Brandy, was efficient and very attentive. Fish tacos were very good, and the side of fruit with the scoop of mango sorbet was delicious.

Called an hour ahead to reserve a table for 12 adults and two wheelchairs. Manager was extremely hospitable and when we arrived showed us what they had prepared. Extremely friendly staff were very happy to meet our needs. The food was very good and management made the experience great!

Travis the server was awesome. The mango beer was great and the food (steak) was also very good. Desserts were huge (key lime pie) and yummy. Thank you for the great night out with friends and family.

We went to bahama breeze for lunch today and had Ciara as our server she was great 👍🏼 she gave us all the recommendations from fun cocktails to some virgin options because we don’t drink sadly but we did take her advice and got the 2 for 25$ I got the new Rasta pasta and my wife got the coconut tacos 10/10 on taste and presentation , our drinks stayed full and our table kept clean throughout the service which is a big win for me when going out ! Will definitely be coming back for some more and to see our server again 😊

Exactly what you want from this place. The food is consistently good, and the tropical vibe is great without being over the top. Went with a few friends and we all left happy. The jerk chicken pasta had a real kick to it, and the coconut shrimp is a solid choice. Washed it down with one of their rum punches – strong and well-made. Service was on point; our server was friendly and kept the drinks coming. The place has a good energy, and the outdoor patio is a nice spot when the weather's right. A reliable spot for a good meal and a good time.

This is just one of my favorite go to restaurants. Always good food, awesome service and if there is ever a mistake it gets fixed no hassles and the manger stops by your table side. Good prices and great portions

I went for lunch and ordered the margarita flight with the jerk shrimp pasta with a side of extra sauce. It was so good! Definitely hit the spot. Our server was attentive and nice. Definitely will be returning sooner rather than later

Most of the food we had was delicious. We had the crab dip and chips for appetizer. I had the Taquila salmon with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes , hubby had the island fish served on a bed of rice. Child had chicken fingers. For dessert we had pineapple flaming cake… the dessert was very sweet for us and I didn’t like the mashed sweet potato. Our server was great and very hospitable hubby and baby had fun with the music.

Overall for me my food and drinks were good. I had the Sweet Plaintain bowl and coconut shrimp. I also had a frozen margarita. 2 people that had complaints in our party ordered steak and shrimp tacos. Service was a bit slow for our liking being that everyone was hungry and we had a few kids. Took about 45 mins to get our food

The server was great, and the food was not bad either. However it did need a little more seasoning. This was my first time at this location as I normally go to the one on the water in Clearwater. It was super cute. They had the Christmas decor outside and the tiki fires were lit. The patio was nice, but it was not heated so we decided to sit inside. It was a little cool that night. We were seated immediately and did not have a reservation so that was great! I would definitely recommend going however, if you have a large party reservation is probably a good idea.

This place is always a fun time! They have delicious drinks but I wish there was more of a variety for happy hour appetizers. The jerky wings were so good though! The spinach dip was not my favorite. If you're looking for a place with good drinks though, this is the spot to be! I had the Bahama mama and bahamarita. I would say the Bahama mama was my favorite!

I visited this restaurant last August 30, 2025. The ambiance is great for getting together with friends and family to catch up with life events. I rated the food 4. This is based on my experience and some of my friends reaction. I had the empanada and I found the filling a bit greasy but the dough was good and fluffy. My visit might have been an off day for the cook so I would still encourage you to visit and make a memory for yourself. The feedback on the drinks were good 👍 If this was helpful to you, send me a 👍 or ❤️... Bon appetit!

About 18 of my friends and I came for a fun lunch in the front side back private room since we were a little rowdy singing, laughing, and eating a variety of good food.

First timers here and I enjoyed my tequila glazed salmon. I didn’t care much for the pasta since the jerk spice overpowered the pasta cream sauce. Overall, service was great and me and my friends with their kids sat outside and enjoyed ourselves.

We had no wait on a Friday night around 7 PM with a reservation for 7 people. The restaurant was decently busy, so parking on the backside of the restaurant was required. Atmosphere is nice. If you want a genuine beach feel, go to the location on the water. It was a little hard to hear conversations at our table. Food was hit or miss. Some of the traditional meals were definitely tweaked to feel more tropical. Our burger and steak were way over cooked. Both were dry. Cheese sticks tasted off and the spinach cheese dip wasn’t good. Service was decent but a little slower side. Waiter was friendly and informative. While we may come back here, it won’t be our first choice for the area.

Let me start with the restaurant is very nice and inviting inside. The staff and our server Matthew were very friendly. The strawberry lemonade was delicious. The conch fritters were yummy but mainly dough. The tequila salmon had a good flavor but was very dry. The paella was good but not amazing. For the price I would think it would have been better cooked.

I had the crunch salad. I had this last time and it was delicious. Chicken was browned and spicy as you would expect jerk chicken to be. This time it was like frozen thawed out pressed chicken. No spice at all. The greens were limp.and sort of over ripe. The tomatoes had chunks cut out of them and what was left was wrinkled and seemed old. Watery substance on the bottom of the bowl not sure if that was dressing. It was just yucky. On a positive not the waitress was awesome. Really attentive and nice. I didn't want to complain because I was with 3 other people and they loved their food. I didn't want to be a downer to our girls lunch. I won't order this again.

My once beloved restaurant is going downhill. Poor quality. Rotten fish and rotten avocado. The sauce container lid was also melted? Likely from popping the sauce into the microwave at a high temperature and not letting it cool off before putting the lid back on. There is a film of oil visible in the sauce likely from high temperature that caused it not to emulsified properly. Quality has been declining overall.

Was my 50th birthday came back from a rainy day at Disney hoping for a good meal. The 3 drinks were basically mix, no alcohol at all. Sent 2nd back, was still charged for it although he took it back half full. Food was worse than Taco Bell. Tortillas on fish tacos were hard and couldn’t bite through them. Somehow even though the place was empty on a Monday night the food was cold. My tipping point was watching two other tables get a piece of cake delivered to the table for their bday. Before we left asked if when needed anything, hr said we had to pay for birthday cake. Well no thank you, your drinks and food sucked I’m sure not gonna pay for a hard piece of cake. Never wasting money on this place again. Worst birthday dinner ever.

Terrible service, the food came cold and the churrasco well done when I ask for a medium, as regular customer I can say that this is my last time Edit: The manager come to to the table and bring me a churrasco medium, and that was really good!

This is the third time I’ve ordered from here (with an issue - when all Good, All Good but each time I was invited to meet management 😑) , and unfortunately the experience with management has been consistently disappointing. The food is always amazing, and the front-line service team is kind and apologetic when issues happen. However, orders are frequently mixed up or incorrect, and when situations are escalated to management, the interaction becomes frustrating. During my most recent call, the manager (receipt listed Melissa Altemate) spoke at a very loud volume and with an impatient tone, asking, “What do you want me to do?” and “Did she ask you to double-check the bag?” before abruptly saying “Never mind, fine,” and processing a refund I hadn’t even requested. The girl answering phone was kind and apologetic said she would correct- and then abruptly greeted with a well, What do You want me To Do!? I truly appreciate the staff members who try to help, but the attitude and communication style from management significantly impacts the overall experience. With the quality of the food and the strong front-line service, improved leadership communication and customer-care training could make this location outstanding.
