Bonefish Grill

Bonefish grill is definitely a great choice if you love fish and steak. Had the filet & a crab cake with white truffle Mac ‘n’ cheese, which was cooked to perfection. I do not recommend the oysters because they’re quite small compared to what I’m used to in the northern east coast, but everything else was perfect. Decent prices for great food and drinks.

Great place to dine in Fayetteville. They have the best service and even better food than any seafood restaurant around. Try anything on the menu you won’t regret it.

It was so delicious! The different sauces they had were all amazing and they give you the option of trying them all. I have the scallop & shrimp and it was so good! The truffle mac & cheese came with mushrooms in it and it was hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The garlic potatoes were good as well. The cheesecake was really good also. The waitress we had was very delightful. She helped us with our selections from our drinks to dessert. She didn’t have a problem with doing so either. She looked like she really liked her job & enjoyed their food. We are definitely going back!

While my server were incredibly kind and accommodating, it doesn’t change the fact that the food was way too spicy. I was unable to eat my food (there was no indication that the plate I ordered was supposed to be spicy), even for a friend that loves spicy food the plate was too spicy. My mouth kept burning for at least 30 min after I tried it.

This has a nice setting to it. It was busy when we came in. Calamari was good. The Bonefish Pomegranate Martini was really good. I didn’t really like the Pineapple Martini drink, cause I can taste the coconut taste to it (not a fan of coconut flavor). I Had the Baja Fish Tacos, it was good but not one of my favorites (you have to like the sweet taste to it, cause of the mango flavor). My boyfriend had ribeye steak, he said the steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to his liking. We shared a Macadamia Nut Brownie, in my opinion I thought it was too chocolaty, but my boyfriend thought it was perfect. Overall it was a good night. Plus our server was super nice and helpful, I believe her name was Lisa A. She was great. I would definitely come back and request for her again.

Fantastic is the best way to describe this Bonefish. The food was very tasty and prepared perfectly. Our server Keenan was on point with any needs that we had. The manager, Chris came to our table and made my family feel both welcome and appreciated. We plan to make the Fayetteville Bonefish our regular special occasion dining destination.

Everyone told me I had to try the Bang Bang shrimp, so I couldn’t wait! It was not all that. I mean it is good, and they give you a tower of shrimp on a bed of lettuce that almost fills you up for an appetizer, but it didn’t have the pop of flavor everyone described to me. My expectations were larger than the taste. I don’t think it’s a bad place because my hunny loves it; however, I just haven’t found a dish that I love from there. I am thinking that it is just not my style of food since I’m not much of a fish eater. The service has always been really great there.

Fresh food, intimate atmosphere. Pricey but this is a top of the line establishment, so naturally. Staff is professional and friendly. Great selection.

I love the appetizer «bang bang shrimp». It could fill me up as a main course. I did try the Chicken Teriyaki as well. It was pretty good. I sat in the bar area and the waitress was very attentive and kept coming back asking if we needed anything. Overall i will def go back again.

Went for a beautiful anniversary dinner. Everything was perfect, except I believe my lobster was a tad under cooked. My husband’s steak and shrimp were delicious. Staff was amazing and the manager even brought us dessert. Definitely a repeat customer!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Service was on point. I have to say I was cautious about going to a chain restaurant, because most of the time it is processed crap food. However, at Bonefish, I could tell the fish and vegetables were fresh. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the pumpkin ravioli was previously frozen and my swordfish was overlooked. Overall great experience and the ambiance inside is relaxing.

I had the Tilapia Imperial with jasmine rice and spaghetti squash and bread with pomegranate martini. Simply delicious… The presentation was beautiful, the meal was hot and the wait was not long. I particularly like my fish cooked a little longer than most so if you are one of those I would ask because that was my only issue; the fish was a little soft or mushy but when I heated my leftovers it was perfect. The spaghetti squash was oh so much better than I expected. It didn’t taste anything like squash; it had a sweet taste and a slight crunch but very delicious. The complimentary artisan bread is served with a mixture of mouth watering flavorful oils to dip your bread in. The pomegranate martini was very very delicious; but I think it is a hit and miss and who makes it. I ordered the legendary bang bang shrimp for my appetizer which was oh so good. It was creamy crunchy flavorful juicy. Um um good. The ambience is very pleasant but the floor is always very slippery especially for ladies wearing heels.

The problem with this place is that it is the Seafood TGIF. You’ve heard so much about it, and when you finally get there, you’re like… this is it??? This is Bonefish Grill? This is like a TGIF, but without the horrible décor/​uniforms and the salad bar. The menu is just a seafood menu with the occasional surprise.
I’ve been to Bonefish Grills in other states before. The food is generally really good, but it’s always too packed and too loud and the service is never what it should be for the price point. They also run out of stuff and forget about you. Begging for bread had me feeling like Oliver Twist. This particular Bonefish Grill has AWFUL service. You will see your waitress twice for the entire evening. Be sensible and know what you want to order before you go there. Would you order flounder at TGIF? No, so don’t order a cheeseburger at Bonefish Grill. Also avoid dessert (bland) and chicken (dry). Steaks are bizarrely decent here, so surf and turf isn’t a bad choice. Okay, avoid anything that isn’t seafood except steak. Get there early if you want shrimp, otherwise they will either run out or it will taste like leftovers from the day before.

We arrived around 6pm and sat at the bar. The ladies were very nice but they must of asked us 12 times in 10 minutes if we were ready to order. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and another beer; after 5 minutes and three «are you ready to order», I asked if we needed to rush our meal/​dining experience. She said no and apologized if they made us feel that way. I get it, turn and burn but come on… There were plenty of seats at the bar. In fact, we chose to sit at the bar because we wanted to chat. We ordered and I had their scallops, that was on the specials menu. They were great, the corn risotto tasted like cream corn and it was ok. We arrived and left in an hour and fifteen minutes.

Love this place… My favorite location is the one in Birkdale Commons. Great service and the Bone fish «House Salad with Blue Cheese Crumbles is my favorite dish with Bang Bang shrimp of course!!!

Food was excellent as always but our server was not. My water glass ran empty twice and waited to be filled. I placed an order to go and requested bread and utensils. I was told it would be in the bag. My son couldn’t eat his mashed potatoes. It was a lot of the details that were missing the entire time. Service was lacking. My server was way off. But he bragged he had been here since they opened. That’s the main reason for my disappointment. I will try this place again but will refuse seating with this server again. I really wished I would have brought this to a mangers attention. Our server was Patrick M. and he was in the bar area.

5 stars for the taste and quality of dinner!
2 stars for the 15 minutes it took for our server to return to take our order.
2 stars for the brownie and ice cream.
1 star for the kid’s cheeseburger. It was so dry you could light a match on it!
Dear GM, if $ 6 Bang-​Bang shrimp is going to tax your staff on Wednesdays, I recommend scheduling more workers.

Went last night for my wife’s birthday. Restaurant seating is tight and way too cramped at the tables (get a booth). She ordered Salmon, which was seared on the outside, but raw most way through. Manager came to the table to apologize and said she had two tables at the same time with the same issue. They took the Salmon back to recook the uneaten portion. The Portion of Salmon that came back was NOT the same portion. Manager cooked and packaged a whole new Salmon for take home. This was a nice gesture but my wife’s appetite was shot. Also took it off the bill. Thank you.
May try again. It is just a chain seafood joint. Go to 316 Oyster bar instead.

I expected more. I’ve heard such great things but my experience was not great.
The server was great. The steak was really good and flavorful, but the crab cake was so so. I think it was the worst I’ve had so far.
I tried some of my fiancé’s salmon mmm mm good. His salad was very tasty as well. The potatoes and zucchini I had was just ok.
Bread before dinner ehh, but I will say the blackberry sangria was mighty delicious as well as the highlight of the night Bang Bang Shrimp.
The shrimp gives me hope for this place so even though my experience over all wasn’t that great I will be going back to try it again but next time I’m sticking with the fish.

Does it play up to all the hype? It’s a chain… So it’s an amazing plus for Fayetteville, but it’s not like getting a McCormicks… I wanted to give more stars but I just couldn’t.
I’m all about bread service… It’s just a little extra customer service that good restaurants do for their customers. The olive oil and herb mix was spot on, but the bread? It was some awful dense brick… Like maybe their yeast didn’t rise.
We wanted to try a little of everything, so for apps we had the mussels (the highlight of our dinner, which was perfectly seasoned with a sweet lemony butter sauce with tomatoes and onions), bang bang shrimp (overly battered and tasted reminiscent of honey walnut shrimp, aka drenched in sweet mayo) and lastly seared ahi tuna (tuna wasn’t bad but it was heavily encrusted with white and black sesame that it really lost the tuna).
Main entrée, husband had the fish tacos, which on the plus side, you can choose the type of fish since I abhor tilapia. Mahi mahi is the way to go. It was decent, but overly dressed with the mango salsa that it ended up falling apart and the tortillas getting soggy. It was to the point that you had better luck eating the TACO with a fork and knife (insert sad face). I got the lobster stuffed fish. It was just ok. They didn’t skimp on the lobster, but only found shredded small bits, wanted bigger lobster claw meat. The whipped potatoes were great, but the seasonal vegetables was chickpeas (garbanzo beans) which… Last time I checked was not a vegetable… And was not cohesive to the dish, left me a bit confused as to why it was paired with my fish.
Another reason for the downgrade in stars was that it was annoying that the servers all wore chefs coats… It’s a bit insulting to the actual chefs and kitchen staff. Also misleading to the customers, since the waiter didn’t know the food on the menu.
We had reservations so we didn’t have a wait time, which I overheard a patron walk out saying he wasn’t waiting 90 min for dinner… The restaurant is actually pretty small so if you don’t get a booth, prepare to be squeezed in where your pretty much back to back with the next table.
Would I go again, sure, but do I have to? No… It holds no siren call for me.
