My lunch entree was the Shrimp and Grits. I was really expecting it to be more spicier especially since the name of the dish included “jerk”. It was made with sliced jerk chicken breast, asparagus and mushrooms with bow-tie pasta in parmesan cream sauce. We also got a side of fried coconut shrimp – which by the way is the only way I can eat coconut, otherwise it’s like eating hair.įor the lunch entree, Juanita choose the Jerk Chicken Pasta. I started off with a Strawberry Daiquiri and ordered Chicken Quesadillas for the appetizer, which was pretty traditional with tortilla, chicken, cheese, salsa and sour cream but they also added sweet peppers and spinach which gave it a little twist. Our waitress was very nice and we made sure to give her a good tip. In fact, Juanita made a point to tell the waitress not to be in a hurry to send out food out we like to talk and we plan to be here at least two hours.
We arrived a few minutes after they opened for lunch, and it wasn’t that busy. Well of course that makes sense with the name Bahama Breeze. Her actual birthday is in March, but with our schedules, April worked best. Our first visit to Bahama Breeze to celebrate Juanita’s birthday was in April.
I knew on my next trip out to Hoffman Estates to see Juanita, Bahama Breeze was going to be the next birthday celebration destination. During one of my recent visits to Woodfield Mall, I saw the Bahama Breeze restaurant, and remembered that’s the restaurant I always see on the back of the Darden Restaurant gift cards with Olive Garden, Yard House, Cheddar’s, and LongHorn. For about four years we had been celebrating our birthdays at either the Grand Lux Cafe in Downtown Chicago, or The Cheesecake Factory in Schaumburg. There’s definitely less traffic in the Chicagoland area on the weekends. She has limitations to transportation, and I don’t mind the hour drive on a Saturday afternoon. I travel out to Hoffman Estates twice a year to celebrate birthdays for my friend Juanita and me.
