On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (87/100) with 2 intermediate and 7 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. That result dates from May 12, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. On health score it sits safer than 35% of the Seminole County restaurants we grade. What the inspector actually wrote up: cross-contamination.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

Not like it once was, loud and a little dirty, food is just okay, drinks ate watered down.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mr Keys Certified Service Review – Bahamas Breeze I stopped by Bahama Breeze for Happy Hour and had an outstanding experience thanks to Tyler behind the bar. From the moment we sat down, Tyler made us feel welcome. He took the time to explain the Happy Hour menu, recommended some of the best food options, and pointed out the incredible $2 Happy Hour specials. His knowledge of the menu and attention to detail made the entire experience even better. The drinks were excellent, especially the Golden Margarita, beautifully prepared and served with a fresh orange garnish. Every drink came out quickly and tasted great. More importantly, Tyler’s attitude, professionalism, and genuine hospitality stood out. He was constantly making guests feel comfortable and welcomed while keeping a positive energy behind the bar. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. The way the staff treats people is priceless, and Tyler truly represents what hospitality should look like. Mr Keys 🔑 Certified Service Award goes to Tyler! If you’re visiting Bahamas Breeze for Happy Hour, ask for Tyler. You won’t be disappointed. Aloha spirit, excellent service, and amazing margaritas all in one place! 🍹🌴🔑
