Bonefish Grill

Went here for brunch and was pretty disappointed. Service was spotty, food was cold and most of us had the eggs benedict and everyone’s eggs were overcooked. Have had much better food at a diner in the area. Might be OK for dinner (seafood) but terrible for brunch.

We go every time we are in Exton, Pa and truly enjoy the food and the service! HARRY was one of the best servers I have ever had at any location anywhere! VERY knowledgeable about the menu, service was on point, friendly without being cheesy and was always there when we needed him but didn’t crowed us! HIGHLY recommend both the location and HARRY!

I find Bonefish Grill to be an upscale Red Lobster. Better food for a higher price. You will usually need to make reservations for a weekend night. There is a good selection of options and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The crab rice was lacking in crab but the chowder was nice and creamy. The stuffed flounder and haddock was cooked properly. Not outstanding but a good meal.

Went here for the first time two weeks ago. The atmosphere was nice. The waitress was super friendly and patient, explaining how everything worked since it was our first time. We both got drinks which were good, bang bang shrimp is a must, i got seabass with the asian sauce, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Everything was seasoned and so delicious, i was surprised. Also got dessert, key lime pie which was good. The total ended not even being as much as i thought. cant wait to go back someday!

Harry was a great server! My first time was awesome! me and my boyfriend had amazing food and we both loved every bite of it!

Like others, this review is about Bonefish failing to schedule their reservations properly. Saturday we tried to go celebrate my sister’s birthday. Had made reservations in advance. Show up early and were told that they were putting the tables together (our party had 7 people). 10 minutes after our reservation time (7p.m.) they still had told us nothing. The wait area was packed. There was no room at the bar. Went up to inquire and then were told that actually, the table that was supposed to be ours hadn’t vacated yet so it could be another 10 to 15. We left. This is an often occurring event — get your act together Bonefish!

The food was good, but you felt that they were rushing you out of there. The place was very overcrowded even at 5:15 in the afternoon. Best part of the meal was the dessert.

The grilled salmon I had was pretty good. I also had the fried crab rice and was amazed. My server could have been a little better when it came to service but no major complaints. Also I wish their desert menu had a larger selection.

the food and drinks were great here. My only disappointment was the closeness of the seating

I have always found Bonefish grill to be almost the same at all the locations. This location is no different. Good food, average service. I love the bang bang shrimps & grilled salmon here. For every place, there are some really good days n some not so good ones. On my recent visit, the fish was grilled to perfection. The crust was crispy n the inside was soft & tender. I don’t remember my fish being so good the last time though. The entrees are served with a side of your choice & some fresh vegetables. I love their garlic mashed potatoes side! If you are looking for good seafood, then I highly recommend this place. Almost all the locations are the same, I can’t differentiate one from the other. What I love is that they let you choose the sauce for your entrée & I can swear by the pesto sauce. Their free bread is really nice too! I don’t really understand the bad reviews for this place.

I was really disappointed with my visit to the Exton location this past Saturday. My parents took my out for my birthday, we made reservations ahead of time because we know it’s a popular place and of course it was a Saturday. Even with our 7pm reservation we were made to wait 45 minutes for a table of three. This was excruciating for my father who has spinal problems and has to walk with a cane. We were told it would be a short wait by the hostess but she basically lied.
Once we were finally seated about an hour later our drink ordered were taken but only 2 drinks arrived. My mother never got the tea she asked to accompany her water. While our appetizers came out relatively quickly our entrees took forever. So much so that my mothers potatoes were cold, as well as my fathers spaghetti squash. He also complained about it being quite bland. Thankfully my dinner came out alright, but I felt terrible for picking a place to eat that was no where near my expectations for the chain.
I frequent the Newtown Square location more often with my boyfriend and have never had a bad experience there so I was greatly surprised at the drastic difference at the Exton location. I certainly won’t be wasting my time or money at Exton again.

During our stay in Exton this was the best place we had dinner at.
We were a group of 12, family and kids.
The menu has a great variety, the environment was relaxing and elegant, service superb, and sea bass to die for.

The service was excellent. The food was not.
Shortly after we ordered, the apps and salads were out so fast that they had to slow our dinner order. We would have been done faster than it took us to get a table.

One has to make a reservation to guarantee a seating on weekends. This restaurant has fresh seafood and well prepared dishes. We went many times with friends & every meal was good. The mussel appetizer was succulent & tender. The Chilean sea bass was delicious, the Ahi Tuna was tasty & the lamb chops were very flavorful. Service was excellent. A nice place to have a good dinner.

Start with a great appetizer menu. If garlic is not a problem, try their mussels. Perfectly done and so tasty. A large serving. Other appetizers are good too. Their house salad has tasty dressing. Scallops and shrimp are nicely done. Try the teriyaki like marinade. Artic char can’t be beat for a main course. The lobster roll is a new item and great for a summer item. Don’t miss either. Sweet potato mash is tasty. Crème brûlée is excellent if you don’t mind the calories. Rum coconut pie is rich and yummy. The best franchise in the area.

Bonefish is still a fabulous chain restaurant and I’m reviewing the Exton location because it’s closer to home and I revelry had Sunday brunch there.
Brunch is good, Eggs Benedict is fabulous and the au gratin potatoes are amazing.
Fresh toast is really not that good. In fact I couldn’t finish it because it was not tasty.
Bloody Mary’s are incredible! Delano the bartender is awesome and knows exactly what he’s doing! The bacon in the Bloody Mary makes it perfect.
Delano moved from the new town square bonefish to Exton and we can’t wait to go back and visit him!

Great consistent food and fun experience. We have to mention that Jason Prinski went above and beyond for hubby and I on our visit!
Thank you Jason! We will always appreciate and love our Cakebread.

Bang bang shrimp is awesome and my partner loved his steak, my tuna was excellent as well. Place as a great TGI anyday of the week vibe. Fun drinks, like Mule in a real copper cup and some concoction in a «glass» made of ice. I have to say that I passed this place by as just another chain quite a few times but when I was out of town and a friend said, «let’s meet up here» I was really glad to have the experience.

Was told 20 – 25 minutes when I showed up. Okay fine. Looks busy so I’ll wait. 30 minutes pass and a whole bunch of people get in ahead of me before I ask how much longer. «Oh you’re next on the list. 5 minutes». Sure next on the list then. 5 minutes pass and I notice another family going in. Alright maybe they had a reservation. Another five minutes and I see someone else’s buzzer go off. Yeah you know what, never mind. Why not just tell me to my face that my money’s not good here? It’d save me some time. I’m not spending money to have you spit in my face. Will not be going back.

Mostly solid food. Over the past dozen or so times I’ve visited I’ve had 5 star visits and near 1 star visits, so consistency of food and service isn’t this place’s best quality. However, when the food is done well it is excellent for a seafood chain restaurant (seems like 4 out 5 times this is the case, hence the overall 4 star rating).
Notable mentions include the wood fired fish selections, particularly the Chilean Sea Bass Pan Asian Style or the Lobster Thermidor Dorado. My wife enjoys the Angler Steak and the Burger, all of which I’ve tried and can agree that they are solid choices. The Bang Bang Shrimp, Ahi Tuna Sashimi, and the Calamari are all superb appetizers. And the bread with herbs and olive oil dipping sauce… BOOM!!! I have trouble not asking for seconds of this stuff! The deserts are okay (all made in house), with a preference for their signature Key Lime Pie.
They also offer a nice Happy Hour with discounted drink specials ($ 3 House Red or White Wine, $ 1 off draft beers) and discounted bar food options. I believe these specials are offered every day (including weekends) from 4:00 — 6:30PM and you don’t have to be seated in the bar area to take advantage of them (love this option). Overall, food and drink prices are fair for quality and quantity.
In summary, overall 4 stars for a seafood chain restaurant. However, be forewarned that service and food can be inconsistent. The good news is that management has always been responsive to complaints and has made the situation right. I will definitely keep this place on the short list of restaurants to dine at.
