Gluten-Free at Bahama Breeze

Don’t do it. Especially if you have multiple allergies or your gluten reaction is severe. This was one of the most frustrating dining experiences I’ve ever had. Our waitress started out saying she didn’t know anything about gluten, but when we asked for a manager, she was suddenly an “expert” (but really didn’t know anything still). The chicken comes preseasoned and they couldn’t tell us with what, other than whey protein. They acted like whey protein was gluten, so that was concerning too. If you look at the dressing ingredients, they are very vague with things like “creole seasoning”, but it doesn’t say what’s in it. A 2nd, more knowledgeable manager came out and was able to come up with something I could eat. It definitely wasn’t something I wanted and I didn’t really enjoy it, but I didn’t get sick. If you decide to eat here, be prepared to strongly advocate for yourself and have them bring the binder with ingredients to make sure it’s safe for you

Had a excellent time here, they had a separate gluten free menu with multiple options, the server was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the food itself tasted amazing my girlfriend had the paella and she loved it.

Delish! They have a gf menu, red snapper is delicious! Artichoke dip also delish. No corn tortillas for taco or byoT! Nice place, indoor fire pit with tables around it. Highly recommend it.

Tried this place again after many years, not much GF on the menu so I asked if I could get a piece of Salmon, broccoli and mashed potatoes and came out pretty good! I won’t be rushing back but it was nice I didn’t get sick. Server did check with the chef prior to ordering my entree.

They have a gluten ‘sensitive’ menu (photo uploaded) so it will have to be up to you if you choose to eat from that ‘type’ of menu. As a celiac, my daughter does not; however, they knew what GF was at the hostess stand and were happy to accommodate us. We put in a reservation as this place is very popular and busy so this ensured we could get in. I noted the allergy in the reservation and got the special menu upon arrival.

I was a little worried bc menu says gluten sensitive not gluten free. But they assured me they could make everything without cross contamination. The menu was limited but I got the snapper and it was delicious. I would go back again. Also as a bonus I did not get sick and I am pretty sensitive.

Poor handling of order with food allergies. Informers waitress I had a dairy and gluten allergy. She assured me my order would be place with the allergens listed. I was at the restaurant with a large group of coworkers, all plates came out at the same time. Runner stated he had the only gluten free plate. I’m halfway through my meal when the waitress comes up behind me and took my plate stating I could not eat that, no other explanation. When she came back apologizing and asking if I would be okay. I explained I would end up sick now. She said she was sorry and left. Manager later came over stating my food was being remade, at this point I didn’t trust it. Manager apologized. Ended up giving my office manager a gift card as an apology. Beware of food handling and be very careful.

We ordered from the gluten sensitive menu for my daughter - explaining that she cannot have gluten. Her salad came out with the tortilla (?) crisp on it. They took it back but I’m not certain that they didn’t just take that off and return the salad. She is asymptomatic so I don’t feel very confident with this. They do not mark or otherwise indicate which plates are gluten free when coming from the kitchen.

I have eaten here several times. I have always ordered from the gluten sensitive menu. I make sure that I explain to my server that my food cannot have any cross contamination. They seem to have a good understanding of how to prepare a gluten free meal. I have never had a problem with the gluten free food here, even though the menu says “gluten sensitive.”

They don’t deliver. I called to place a delivery order, told them it was a delivery order, and was put on hold for almost 10 minutes before they came back on the line. I asked (again) for a delivery order and was told they don’t deliver. So no food was ordered.

Had dinner here they have a dedicated gluten free menu and waitress was very knowledgeable about what i can and can’t eat

I have Celiac as well as Lupus and seizures. I realize that most people do not know the impact of diet and health. I asked our server some questions regarding the menu items and ingredients. She had the manager, Peter, speak to me directly to accommodate and fully understand my dietary restrictions. Peter and Makenzie were polite, accommodating, understanding and made the dining experience worry free! Thank you!

Wife is celiac and did not get glutened, so I will give them that. However, this restaurant has the worst possible selection of GF items. There are two option: chicken or steak. She ordered the chicken. The way they normally dress it is not GF, so what they provided was simply a plain piece of grilled chicken. And it was overcooked and dry. I make it much better and much cheaper at home. And service was soooo slow. Hard pass.

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.

They have a separate GF menu, even listed GF alcoholic beverages. Had the fish it was great!

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.

Was able to order online through “gluten sensitive” so items were marked when ordering. I ordered pretty simple-grilled chicken with citrus butter sauce (that was delicious!), mashed potatoes, and broccoli. We also tried the crab-avocado stack and that was really good! Not many items on the menu but ate here twice and have felt good both times.

They had a gluten sensitive menu. Limited options, but available.

Staff was very accommodating but the menu is gluten sensitive and very limited. The menu states cannot guarantee that there won’t be cross contamination.

Fantastic food, they had immediate seating and a gluten senseitive menu, phenominal food fairly priced. They also had a live artist begin playing while we were eating!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Husband has celiac, nice menu, had steak Oscar, mashed potatoes, asparagus, delicious citrus dressing on salad. No issues

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very small GF menu but server was knowledgeable and food was really good.

They do have a limited (I ate lunch here) GF menu. The staff was friendly and worked to give me a GF lunch but didn’t seem very knowledgeable about gluten.

Great gluten free menu! I did not get sick. Salmon, mashed potatoes, and broccoli was so delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. Did not get sick. Food was good, not great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here twice- the first night they were very accommodating and the food was delicious so I went back the next night. Unfortunately my server the second night brought my salad with bread and then when I repeated that I was gluten free she said she “didn’t know much about it” and told me to “just take off the bread”. The manager came over and brought me a new salad but I still got sick. Not worth the risk!

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

The manager couldn’t confirm that ANYTHING could be made GF so we left. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gf sensitive menu has two items. A salad and a soup. They brought it with bread. They redid it, I wasn’t sick, but not many options and pricey.

Drink menu extensive and margaritas were good. Gf Menu was ridiculously small. Choice of protein with sides the same. They didn’t even offer more than 1 veggie as a side dish, others were potatoes or rice. Had the Steak Oscar. Didn’t come with the sauce like it was supposed to. Mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a box. My husband’s non-gf Tilapia Oscar was nothing special. No reaction but I’d only ever go back for the bar. Nothing but the ceiling fans reminded me of the Bahamas.
