Bahama Breeze

We are on vacation and I found decent reviews of this place. Due to Covid, we are not eating in restaurants and are doing takeout. We ordered from the gluten sensitive menu which indicated I would get mashed potatoes and broccoli as my sides. There was no place in the online ordering for me to make an extra note of the gluten allergy. So, I called. The first person I talked to put me on hold when I told her why I was calling. She told me that she needed me to talk to the manager. I did. She asked me what I ordered and I told her, but she didn’t ask the name on the order. I told her and she said okay, but I’m pretty sure that she wasn’t really noting it. When my husband came back with the food, there were fries, which looked great, but I couldn’t eat them. If we had been eating in person, not of this would likely have been an issue. It was disappointing. My ribs were delicious and filling, but it still is frustrating when you don’t get what you think you are getting or when people don’t understand your needs.

Celiac friendly?

They had a gluten free menu, but for a seafood place I was astonished at how small it was. What we ordered was very good. The waitress seemed annoyed though with our gluten free requirements.

Great Baby Back Rack with mashed potatoes. They can alter some other dishes too to make them gluten free. Great service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good meal. The waitress new about GF. I had Jerk Shrimp appetizer and the Baby Back Ribs with Mashed Potatoes. I would return.

It didn't directly have a GF menu but after we received our drinks, I asked the waitress and she wasn't completely informed but a few moments later; I had a manager there going through each page of the menu explaining what I can eat and what I can't eat and why. He as well very open and wanted to hear my questions as little they were. Half way through the meal, he came and checked on my table. Very sweet and polite staff with delicious food. Overall, it was a very good experience and I would for sure go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good

The restaurant does not have GF menu. Every time that I go I needed to explained the staff and ask for the manager to discussed with him my problem. They always make you feel that you are bother them. I don't think that the restaurant expend time training their staff regarding food allergy. Few choices!

The manager was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable, but there were painfully few selections. The rice bowls at this location aren't even edible because they use a gluten-containing yellow rice. He did not suggest anything fried as they do not have a separate fryer and cannot prevent cross-contamination. He did say that most other locations still use basmati rice, which more than doubles the available selections. The chicken with cilantro crema was well-prepared and flavorful (albeit salty) and didn't cause any gut problems.

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible experience. Menu is super limited and the chips are not gluten free. Had to find out the hard way. The staff had little knowledge and was incredibly rude. Avoid this place

The waiter didn’t know anything and the gluten sensitive menu is sub par to say the least. Side note my drink had a fly in it upon arrival.

Plain options for gf, no corn tortillas or corn tortilla chips, which would open the menu to dips and tacos. they are currently missing an opportunity in simple changes. Ebony our Waitress and manager Martin were wonderful and we enjoyed just chatting with them. He said he would mention it at next meeting.
