Bahama Breeze Appetizers Menu: Every Starter, Ranked by What’s Worth It
Which starters to order, which to skip, and what we wish someone had told us before our first visit.
The Bahama Breeze appetizers menu has 10 starters ranging from $10.99–$17.99, plus soup and salad options starting at $6.99. Coconut Shrimp and Beef Empanadas are the two most consistently recommended starters. Portions are built for sharing — order two for a table of four rather than one each.
We used to order one appetizer “to start” the way you would at most restaurants, then feel silly when it arrived clearly built for the whole table. Bahama Breeze starters are generous — closer to a shared plate than a personal one. Once we figured that out, ordering here got a lot more fun: two or three starters split around the table, and you’ve basically built a meal before the entrées even arrive.

What’s actually worth ordering
Coconut Shrimp is the one dish people mention most, and it holds up — crispy, not greasy, with a sauce that actually complements it instead of drowning it. Beef Empanadas are the other consistent favorite — four to an order, easy to split evenly, and they don’t get soggy sitting on the table while you’re still deciding on entrées.
Firecracker Shrimp is the one to get if your table likes heat — it’s noticeably spicier than the name might suggest to first-timers. If you want something lighter to start, the House Salad or Cuban Black Bean Soup work well without filling everyone up before the main course.
