Bahama Breeze Appetizers Menu & Prices

By EmmanPublished 3 min read
A shared appetizer board with coconut shrimp, wings and street tacos.

The Bahama Breeze appetizers menu is arguably the most fun part of the whole lineup, because it's where the kitchen's Caribbean and Latin influences show up most clearly. This is the section to graze from — a plate of Jamaican Chicken Wings, some crispy Coconut Shrimp, a round of street tacos — whether you're building a shareable spread for the table or just want something to go with drinks. Prices run from $7.49 for a small order of wings up to $19.49 for the Island Hooper, the oversized platter meant for a group.

Because Bahama Breeze is a sit-down restaurant, the starters are more substantial than typical bar snacks. Several — the Coconut Shrimp, the Chicken Quesadilla, the Jumbo Lump Crab Stack — could easily stand in for a light meal on their own. If you're watching the check, note that a handful of these same appetizers show up half-price during happy hour, which is the single best way to try them cheaply.

What to order

For a first visit, the Coconut Shrimp and Jamaican Chicken Wings are the crowd-pleasers that best capture the island theme. If you're feeding a group, the Island Hooper is the big shareable centerpiece at $19.49. The street tacos — Adobo Chicken, Pork Carnitas, Ropa Vieja and Firecracker Shrimp — are a smart middle ground when a few people want to sample different flavors without committing to full entrées. And the Jumbo Lump Crab Stack is the more refined pick if you want something a little special to start.

If you'd rather keep things small and cheap, the snacks & small plates menu overlaps in spirit at lower prices, and a cup of soup from the soups & side salads menu rounds out a light table nicely.
