I'm a fan of Bonefish Grill, but not on a Friday night. Went on the 5th of Jan. got there at 5:45pm and it was already FULL. Waited 40 minutes for table (for 5) that they told us, would be 10 minute wait. Texted us when table was ready, which is a GREAT feature. Couldn't seat anywhere inside and yes it was 45° outside. So waiting in car wasn't fun. Server right away told us he was new. Not sure why, but we soon found out... Sat with 3 orders of bread for 40 minutes before appetizers and drinks came to table. I order Filet Med Rare it arrived to the table RAW! Sent it back and waited 20 minutes for it to return RAW again. Manager came over 15 minutes later and apologized with my Filet now, medium. They took my dinner off the bill, thankful. Dinner for everyone else at table was great. Table was right by kitchen door, we listen to servers put in orders and could hear Chef and Manager call out orders. Good times Not the best birthday meal, but I'll try it again. read more

Food good for chain but service horrible. First ones there for lunch at 11:45. Ordered at 1200 by which time four other tables were occupied. All the other tables got served before we did- at 12:45!!!! Hate to try on a busy night - tried to find manager when finished but restaurant was empty and no one to be found. Will not be back!!!! read more

I *love* this place! I like really fresh, simple food - where you can see what's what, where the delicate flavors speak for themselves and the dish overall is marked by its fresh ingredients and some kick ass cooking skills. I also like a well made cocktail and a fine glass of wine, and I like to take it all in in a great atmosphere underlined by pleasant, modern yet cosy design. Bonefish offers all of that! I come to Brandon once a year to visit friends and we have gone here several times. I'll be going again soon. NOTE: Great for seafood, crisp sauvignon blanc and Cosmos! read more

Love this place.. We try to go every Wednesday for $5 Bang Bang Shrimp. Our cheap affordable meal turns into a huge bill because the cocktails are the best there.. WAY BETTER COSMO (we do it better cosmo) a must have! read more

I don't know why this place has such good reviews, their food is over priced and average at best. Seafood selections are good and steaks are average according to my husband who likes a good steak dinner he says their plating is skimpy and I have to agree. They do plate beautifully so that's a plus. Basically they try to give a higher class experience and that's fine too except they're not fine dining. Just average. read more

Wow! $13.50 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc!! What happened to "house wine"? The waiter did not ask which so we assumed it was the "house" brand. Train your people Bonefish! May hit go back! read more

I have frequented Bonefish Grill often over the years, and though a chain, has some solid seafood, and great service. It's on the pricey side, but the quality has always been high. I've visited several locations, and the high standard follows the name. For me, Bonefish Grill is a trusted name in seafood. I know what to expect in both quality and price, and I've never been let down. Hopefully, they can keep the momentum, and if so, I will continue to be a loyal customer. This location doesn't seem to differ much from the other locations I've visited. It's very clean, the service is exceptional, the atmosphere is classy yet upbeat, the food is constantly delicious, and the value is decent. Overall, it's a great place for seafood. I will definitely be back, & I recommend checking it out. read more

If you want fresh sea food in Brandon then this is probably your best choice. The martinis are top notch. We love the bang bang shrimp. Dress nice if you take a date, it will seem more special. Just chillin for the night, then dress casual. read more

Love the crab cakes, seafood dip, mussels Josephine and basically everything else on the menu.

Food was absolutely amazing!!!!! My 8 year old inhaled the mussels and ceviche! Definitely worth the money read more

It has been years since I've dined at Bonefish and was secretly excited when I received a gift card! The SO was definitely not as enthused as I was when I wanted to make use of my gc last night, citing a handful of reasons why he isn't a big fan, but after the dinner, he had changed his tune dramatically. No wait at 6:30p on a Friday night? Awesome! Excellent service throughout the whole meal. Never an empty cup or a request for anything. Our server was attentive and nice. The staff over all was great. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp for starter and I ordered a Raspberry Vodka Collins. I loved the fresh raspberries muddled in the drink. The app came out super quick and was piping hot and super saucy. It was devoured! Fresh warm bread and dip along side our salads was nice too. I ordered the Panko Pecan Crusted Rainbow Trout with the seasonal fresh side which happened to be a succatash of corn, lima beans, red pepper, and turkey sausage. It was buttery and delicious. My fish was super fresh and the artichoke hearts on top were amazing. His order was the stuffed tilapia dish. He didn't leave a bite on the plate. Always a good sign! Will make a return to Bonefish more frequently after being away for so long! I like the new menu setup and the summer specials! read more

I really enjoyed my Bonefish Grill experience and actually ate here twice last week! The food is fresh and consistently delicious. The service is always top notch so I have no complaints. I started with the house salad and the server suggested I add feta cheese. That was a wonderful suggestion and made the salad extremely tasty. I definitely plan to have this salad every time I come here! I had the bang bang shrimp on the first visit ad the Imperial Longfin fish the second night. Both were awesome! This is one of my favorite restaurants and I hope to continue having great experiences. Definitely plan to remain a regular here! read more

We've eaten in several Bonefish Grills before and enjoyed our food. Not so at this Bonefish in Brandon, FL. The service was very good, but the food was dismal. The Potstickers were extremely salty. The Mahi tasted like it had been frozen before cooking. Even the cheesecake wasn't good. What a shame, we used to like Bonefish. Since this is the only one close to our home, we'll have to write them off our list. read more

I have been here twice with my wife and we had a great experience both times. The service is very good and the seafood outstanding. The Caesar salad could be ordered with anchovies and was perfect. I also had the crab corn chowder which was good, not great. I had the Shrimp and Scallops one visit and the crab crusted Cod on another. I found both delicious and the Cod was probably the best in the area. My wife had the fish and chips both times and they came with large portions of cod fried in a light delicious batter and excellent fries. For desserts, we had the chocolate lava cake, creme brulee, and coconut creme pie over several visits and all were to die for. Definitely one of the best of this chain I've been too and would highly recommend. read more

Had a great business meal here while I was in town. Appetizer - seared tuna plate. Tuna tasted great and was fresh. Dinner - Special of the night - monkfish wrapped in prusciutto. Never had monkfish before but it had the texture of scallops which I love so this was a great meal. Would go back and try other items next time I am in town. read more

Great food, great staff. We went on Father's Day and service was fast and everybody seemed to help each other out which is not always the case in busy restaurants, we will be back! read more

Food was okay but temperature in the restaurant was not. It was downright hot in there and I was dripping sweat just trying to eat hot food. Fish and chips was okay but more emphasis on breading than fish - I did find some fish buried in there. I realized much later that coleslaw was missing and we didn't bother to ask for it. Corn crab chowder was kind of lukewarm and seemed really thick but tasted pretty good. Service was friendly, efficient but to the point of rushed, seemed like our server wanted to get everything out and on the table quickly so we could eat and move on out. Maybe with the room temperature, it was advised? Seasonal strawberry shortcake dessert wasn't impressive, not overly sweet which was good but served with a hard biscuit-like base which was bad. Next time I'd skip it. I know Bonefish can do better but this experience didn't leave me wanting more. read more

I just had a terrible experience at Bonefish today for brunch. I get there around 12 and it isn't too busy, I'm seated right away. The waiter doesn't come to my table for 10 minutes, doesn't even acknowledge us. He finally shows up, takes our orders, leaves, and doesn't show back up until later. Meanwhile, it's 10 minutes later and we still haven't received our drinks so I jokingly mention that we'll get our food first. Well guess what...we got our food before our drinks. Now I'm really annoyed. So 2 minutes after our food arrives the waiter comes back and blames the bartender for our drinks taking so long, yeah ok, so I causally mention water, like that's a thing people get at restaurants. He brings our water and leaves. Now we have finished half of our meals before our drinks arrive and again he blames the bartender. I just couldn't even deal anymore, I asked for the bill, paid, and left. Ridiculous. On another note - the food was great and so were the drinks but I'll never go back now. read more

Kelly is the best!!!! Went in tonight. Had to leave. Not the friendly staff I'm used to. Made me feel like I couldn't be trusted to pay my bill at the end. Hmmmm. Time to fine a new regular place where they welcome me rather than try to run me off. read more

I literally got a hard clump of rice. Pretty lame. Everything else was good though.The waiter Kevin was nice and he replaced my rice quick. However, I Probably won't be back. read more

Never disappointed. Decided to just get appetizers to share and had plenty of food for 3 of us without a doubt. Everything was very fresh and brought out at the right temperature. Costs are higher than other restaurants but quality is so good. Bang bang shrimp is a must have and now we have to order 2 as we all love it so much. read more

Well, I am a little disappointed. Went for Father's Day and the air conditioning was not working. They failed to warn customers about the issue. They were rushing sitting down, ordering drinks, and appetizers so customers would not leave. At first my aunt and myself though that the air conditioning was too low but then we noticed that it was broken. They had a fan in one side of the restaurant but that didn't helped. We were not the only ones sweating. We did not enjoyed our brunch. Then we went in July 4th and ordered the Lily's chicken. The chicken was terrible unseasoned. The garlic potatoes were cold and dry. And the vegetables were not good. By the way, I got 4 small strips of vegetables. The entire plate was awful and poor. I am very disappointed with the experience so far. read more

This was my first time there.Love this place! Very clean ,True it was not busy . As for the food the chili sea bass and bone-in ribeye steak.The best is the Bang Bang shrimp. read more

The food is always good at BFG. I have never left this restaurant disappointed with service, food, or the price I pay. The waitress was very nice and knew the menu like the back of her hand. This is one of the few chains where the food is consistently good at any of their restaurants which is why I seek it out when in a new area. This is the place to go and the mojito was fantastic. read more

What great food! I really thought we'd be getting 'chain restaurant' quality food, but was pleasantly surprised with our meals! Warm soft bread with garlic oil to dip in. YUM Bang Bang tacos. DELISH! Their flavor was delightful! "Two tortillas filled with Bang Bang shrimp, crisp lettuce, diced tomatoes and sour cream. Served with fresh greens or house made chips." Lily's Chicken "Chicken breast, goat cheese, sautéed spinach, artichoke hearts and a lemon basil sauce." Need I say more!?? My husband had a new, to him, beer; Magic Hat #9. It was very good! We've actually tried finding it in a store, and found it at Target and Sam's Club. For dessert: Creme Brulee. It was very good; Surprisingly cold, when typically it would be served warm, but still good. The hospitality here was outstanding! We were checked on multiple times and our water glasses were never empty. read more

Not bad for brunch. The service was a bit slow, and we had to remind our server to grab us bread and dip. She was busy moving tables and doing other things so several things were delayed with our visit. And of course it was when we were starving.... The burger for breakfast was HUGE!!! Probably because it had a inch thick tomato. The burger was undercooked, ordered medium and it was way more medium rare. But I was starving and was not planning on sending back. The fries were good. Not bad, but next time we will not go as starving so the lack of fast service will not bother us as bad. read more

It's a chain, but this is definitely better than your Olive Garden or Red Lobster. The food was reasonable and delicious. The waitress was friendly and very helpful. Everything arrived as ordered and we had an uneventful, delicious dinner. I would definitely frequent this restaurant often if I lived in the area. read more

Yes I know its a chain--but they do it right so what more can you say. Good, solid seafood, attentative service and reasonable pricing makes for a reliable choice when I am on the road. Took customers for dinner and all were happy and full when we left--could not even eat all we got. read more

Overall, a good experience. We were promptly greeted by management and seated immediately (5:45pm on a Sunday). Our waitress was very good and stayed on top of our refills (the little things that count). We ordered bang bang shrimp. As always, they were very good but I was a little disappointed_in that some of the shrimp were drenched in sauce and others were more properly coated. We also got a kids order of popcorn shrimp w/ fries (my son actually ate) and salads for the adults. Our entree choice was the shrimp & scallops w/ butter sauce and we substituted the vegetable for whipped mashed potatoes (+$1.00). Entree was good.....not much more to say than that.... I will have to say my only other issue was with my wine. When I am paying +10.00 a glass, I want a proper cabernet glass_ not a white wine glass. This was my first experience at this location and I will absolutely return. I found this location to be much easier than the South Tampa_to get in and out of. read more

The crabcakes were excellent and full of crab. The trout and tuna both prepared to perfection. Add to this the great service and it was all great. read more

Bang bang shrimp is amazing and their porkchop is super juicy. Strawberry daiquiri and pina colada is delicious

The employees are very ignorant. I went there and waited 15 minutes. Saw few of them coming to cash registers but didn't even try to make eye contact let alone greet a customer. Terrible ordeal. I wonder why I came here to support their business in this COVID times. read more

As the higher end chain restaurant in our cookie cutter 'burb, you'd hope Bonefish Grill would focus on quality and maintain what it started with. Unfortunately, the portion sizes have diminished, the service is average at best, and temp is either too cold or too hot in the restaurant. I think this has become a decent place to grab a drink and an app and scoot elsewhere for dinner. Especially laughable was the Ahi Tuna Bowl - scarcely any tuna - more is found in their appetizer - and overpriced for what was delivered. Stonewood is superior for your meal. read more

Good food. Good service. Clean. Very satisfied with my meal. I had the calamari appetizer followed by steak and lobster. My guests had shrimp and raved over its flavor. Make sure you bring your mask, they enforce it! read more

Slow service. Male supervisor had peeling black nail polish Definitely not one of our better visits to Bonefish.

First time eating here. Arrived at 10 pm with an hour and a half remaining till close. Wasn't busy! Was seated right away. But waited for 15 minutes to be served when the waitress was busy talking to another table, right next to us. She was not notified we were her table. Server Wendy placed our orders. We ordered bang bang shrimp taco which was great, 16 oz sirloin steak, pork chop and virgin strawberry daiquiri! There was herbs in it that didn't belong in the drink. The rice that we ordered for a side was old and hard. Was told because it was near closing. No excuse! We pay for the quality of the food we order. Then had to wait for our waiter to come back which didn't return so my husband had to look for someone to get our check and boxes for our remaining entree. Overall for a first time experience. We will not return to this location read more

Great experience Clean, fresh and polite. This joint definatly satisfied. Nice atmosphere too boot, thx ill be back bonefish read more

A nice way to celebrate our anniversary of 12 years! We were starving and the restaurant accommodated us although near about 20 minutes to closing. I ordered the filet mignon and shrimp. Then I changed my mind since I'm not a beef eater and had the smoke salmon instead. The waiter changed my order without even grumbling. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. My hubby had the lobster tails. Delicious the little bit he let me taste. I forgot to add the mussels and bread in white wine sauce was superb. Yeah we will back before the next anniversary . read more

Great service the food comes out quickly and friendly staff. The portions are filling and many seafood options.
