While I previously covered China Coast, a Chinese-themed restaurant chain that General Mills Restaurants shut down shortly after spinning off as Darden Restaurants...there was another restaurant I should cover. In 1996, Darden launched a new chain, the Caribbean-inspired Bahama Breeze, but it was never a big hit, mostly located in Florida.
Bahama Breeze was kept through the years, even after their once-flagship restaurant chain Red Lobster was sold off, but shortly after acquiring Chuy's, an Austin-based Tex-Mex restaurant, they announced in early 2026 that Bahama Breeze would be shut down permanently.
This list serves to cover all the Bahama Breeze restaurants through the years, including stores that were shut down earlier, like the Texas restaurants. The missing store numbers are possibly stores that closed earlier or unbuilt restaurants I have no information on. There were also three in Arizona I can't find store numbers on and will be added in a future update. (If you know more, please contact me). Also if you think if the colors are too garish.
