The food quality has gone down and the service is flat-out atrocious. The time was early to mid-afternoon. The restaurant was nearly empty. Seriously ignored. 1 1/2 hours to get fish and chips (soggy) and salmon. We sat at the bar. We finally had to chase the bartender down to pay. We will not be going back. read more

second time in a year bonefish has let us down. first time was June of last year, the same exact day, June 28th. last year, my wife and i placed our orders, got our drinks and the waitress brought out the bread. there were 4 couples, Including is in the main dinning area. We were her only table. no one else in the restaurant. our waitress ghosted us. we were her only table. after 30 minutes, I got up and went and looked in the kitchen and she was looking at her phone. the cook wasn't cooking anything. wife and I got up and left. I would have asked for the manager, but there was no one to ask! we come back tonight and the same thing happens. i got my iced tea and my wife got water. order gets taken, we get our drinks and bread, then poof, the waiter is gone! no more tea, etc. we waited 40 minutes. I put 4 bucks on the table for the tea and we left. as I recall, we got the same thing both times. I got the fish and chips and my wife got Lillie's chicken. same level of service as before, but different year. both times we came it was my birthday. I've taken my kids and grandkids here for over 5 years. no problems at all. obviously our expectations were not met and not what I have experienced in the previous times with my wife , or with our family. we are pretty low key people and don't make demands or outlandish requests. we didn't even get appetizers. I'm sorry we were let down. funny this happened 2 years in a row, on the same day-my birthday. I don't like to complain, it's not my style, so I didn't say anything to the manager. I can promise that I won't be disappointed a 3rd time. and I'm gonna be sure to tell my family and friends about our sad experiences. read more

Had a company dinner last night party of 8. Food took 45 minutes after orders were placed, no drink refill service after meal was served. Three of us had order Filet's only one person received a true Filet cooked correctly. I told the waiter these are solion steaks not Filet's which was order. Response given it's the same size portion. Not the CORRECT STEAK!!!! Nor was the supposedly Filet's correct correctly. read more

This was my first time here. I came with my bf and his parents who have been here before. My bf hadn't been here in a very long time. The decor, atmosphere, and service were great. I will go straight into talking about the food. As raved by previous reviewers, the bang bang shrimp was great along with the bread. My bf did mention that the shrimps seem A LOT smaller than he had years ago. The bf's mother got the seared ahi tuna sashimi appetizer as her entree. she loved it. The bf's dad got one of the new specials; the shrimp and scallop firepot which is spicy Latin flavored grilled shrimp and scallops over vegetables and potatoes. He was not a fan of it because of how it was sold to him versus how it actually came out. The bf had the lamb chops special which were terrible. They were supposed to be medium rare and came out medium. Luckily it was still tender. The downfall were the two sides. Their in season veggies; sugar snap peas were raw and they had some kind of small fried baked potatoes that were hard and bland. I had ordered the pecan Parmesan crusted rainbow trout with the same raw sugar snap peas and dry undercooked rice. The fish was very bland and much needed salt. overall not worth the money read more

Pedestrian. Dirty martini was overburdened with olive juice, almost undrinkable. Bang bang is reliable, but after the first bite or two I'm bored. Pretty decent little wine list, but nothing especially remarkable. If it's the only thing around, you won't be sorry, but if there's anything non-chain that's remotely interesting, just say no. read more

We've dined here before but this will be our last time. We have no complaints about the service, none! There was no quality to my dinner selection this evening, it was replaced and there was NO follow up by the management whether we were satisfied with the replacement. Please, look closely into your meal because you'll often find things that aren't fresh as they appear. read more

Finally no wait and was able to see what Bone Fish was all about. Nice place food was good I said good because maybe I should not have tried steak. Bang Bang Shrimp and Calamari was on point. Crab Cake was delicious even though it was a dollop. And the mixed drinks were delicious. Sharif provided top notch service and will ask for him on our next visit. read more

The seafood boil was delicious with the risotto. I will say one of the things that stood out to me the most was the customer service. I was very impressed and I can't wait to go back! read more

Have never had a below average experience at a Bonefish Grille until this one. The bartenders avoided eye contact as much as possible - which meant very slow service. When asking 3 waiters standing around doing nothing if we could get some service - it was the "this is not our section" story. The food was also not up to the normal Bonefish standards!!! read more

Bonefish Grill - Watermelon Martini by Cynthia - Seafood Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Everything was fine until the meal arrived. The presentation f the sides was cafeteria like, where an ice cream Scoop was used or somethig. One play was wiped off with something greasy to clean the edge of the plate. My steak was raw, my lobster tail was just barely warm. She found hair in her plate of cheese and tomatoes. I sent the steak back, and it came back cooked to mid rare as I requested, but now was charred and re-seasoned tithe point that it was like eating a salt-lick. Based on the responses to my Facebook post of the experience, I should have asked around first. This is apparently normal for Fishbone. I'm not doing this again. read more

I really like Bonefish Grill! Today is Wednesday, an excellent day to go to Bonefish since today is Bang Bang Wednesday. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer is easily Bonefish's most popular dish. This dish is delicious!!!! The shrimp is crunchy and the sauce is tangy and spicy! The flatbread is delicious too! A new item for fall is the Fresh AppleTini! This drink is delicious. It is made by soaking apples in Vodka for 3 days! It also has a cinnamon rim. Overall, it's a nice, strong drink. read more

February 10, 2022 Bonefish Grill Mall of Georgia We decided at the last minute around 6 pm to drive south to the Mall of Georgia for dinner at Bonefish Grill. We remembered good service and quality seafood cooked well with quality Service. We got non of the above and a manager and staff that must have come from Mars. First, no one was there to greet us when we arrived. We settled in and ordered a glass of Chardonnay that tasted as if the bottle had been opened for a week. In fact, we questioned if it was even Sonoma Cutrer. We ordered scallops and shrimp and an order of crab cakes and salad. The Salad was all heart and stems. The crab cakes were browned on the outside and runny/raw on the inside. The server had trouble contemplating the issue of runny eggs but took it back. In fact, it was redone 4 times according to the manager. By that time, the shrimp and scallops we ordered were cold or consumed. We asked for our check. It seems everything takes 40 times longer than it did pre-Covid. Our server hid the whole time and was not present until we inquired about the 20 minutes it was taking to recook the crab cakes. The manager finally came out and feigned an apology and left a free "bang bang shrimp" card for the next time. There will not be a next time for me. It was an "awful experience", with severely in experienced staff. I should have known that something was up when all other barely good restaurants are at 75% capacity yet Bonefish was at 30%. Quality of food, presentation, wait staff, management, and cleanliness was poor. Shrimp was puny, Scallops good but overcooked. What a mess!! read more

I wish I could give this a 3.5. You cannot leave Bonefish without having the bang bang shrimp! For a petite girl like me, this could be a meal. The portion is generous (especially for the price of ~$8!) and the sauce that it comes in is savory and ever so slightly spicy. My sister got the fish and chips. Our waitress wanted to make sure we knew that 'chips' were not really American potato chips. I thought this was funny.. I wonder how many people she serves a day that really think they are getting potato chips! The fish was encased in a thin, yet very crispy fried layer of batter. I was overpowered by the fish itself though. The breading is too thin and the fish was just too much for my liking. It was bland too, but I guess I'm just being picky because fish and chips are not known to be flavorful. We got the chocolate creme brulee which had a hint of Gran Mariner. I thought it was just a hint. My sister, who does not drink, thought it was overwhelming. She described the after taste to be equivalent to the menthol after taste of Nyquil. Don't let her scare you though! Once again, it was a big portion.. we had trouble finishing it and it satisfied my post-dinner sweet tooth. FYI - Bang bang shrimp is $5 on Wednesdays! read more

Three stars for service, and the excessive use of truffle. Service first: Waitress was delayed because she "working on some dishes"; that's fine. She was very nice and answered a few questions, but didn't seem as knowledgeable. When asked about some of the menu items, she could only respond with "I like that one". Drinks came right away, and then her friends sat down at one of the high tops next our table. While her friends were there, she was attentive and still very nice, however, when I'm out to dinner or on a date, I don't want to hear about how my waitress was responsible for a horrible night of drinking and causing her friend to kiss some guy, who from the sounds of it, "would have been great if he was any good". Thanks for sharing! Once her friends left, she disappeared until it was time to clear the table. Which, leads me to the truffle. I ordered one of the specials that was supposed to be topped with feta, onion, and truffle. Thankfully, the swordfish came un topped. When I asked the waitress, she promptly brought out the toppings. I put a little on a piece I cut off and was sorry that I did...I've had truffle before, and this was bitter, sour, and left the worst after taste. I also got the truffle Mac and cheese, and it was worse! You could smell the bitter/sour truffle before you took a bite, and no amount of cheese or pasta could save it. After only two bites each, the boyfriend and I put it to the side. Bonefish is a random and rare visit, and now I remember why...not going to say I won't be back, but it won't be soon. read more

Came on a Monday night. Fish was decent, green beans somewhat under cooked. Pumpkin ravioli was unimpressive. The service was excellent and the swordfish was solid (as swordfish is). Not bad, but the quality of the items coming out of the kitchen weren't remarkable. Cozy chain with decent seafood. read more

Bonefish Grill - Pumpkin ravioli and swordfish - Seafood Near Me - Buford, Georgia

My wife LOVES this place. So I decided to go there today 3/13 for our 13th anniversary. When we walked in the host asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, so i told him yup! 13 years of marriage. Sadly, no one wished us a happy anniversary, our server Nate provided great service and the food was delicious, however when we asked for dessert, they didn't even put "happy anniversary" on the plate, nothing was done to make our day feel special. This left us feeling very sad since we couldn't even take a picture with the dessert that says happy anniversary. Regardless, we enjoyed our food and drinks, and like mentioned previously Nate was great! We were just sad because we expected a little something extra for our anniversary. read more

Our family enjoyed a lovely meal tonight. Our waitress, Rachel, made the night special with her awesome service. Thank you for an awesome dinner!!! read more

Very good food. Surprising for a chain but true. Camden, our waiter, was attentive. Would definitely return.

Omg Rachel C. was so nice to us when we came in. The best server to have here. Always recommend her!

I had the Dynamite Salmon, shrimp & creamed spinach with chimichurri sauce. It was delicious. Our server Camden recommended the white cosmo & pomegranate martini, I had both & they tasted like heaven. I will definitely be back at this location the service was top tier, Camden made great pairing suggestions for my meal & was super sweet. read more

Had a wonderful dinner tonight at Bonefish in Buford. The Atlantic Salmon and Fontina pork chop were a hit, both were delicious!! And our server Rachel C. provided incredible service, she was very attentive and personable. We'll definitely be back! read more

The bar staff is terrible. I was here on 8/21/19 and there were a total of 4 people at the bar. The bartender never acknowledged us. Every single transaction that occured we had to intitiate. Can I have a menu?, can I order a drink?, we would like to order now.... Not one check back to see how our food was or if we needed anything. I clearly have an empty glass and my husband an empty bottle, but never asked if we wanted another. No personality at all. Never smiled, never chatted, nada!! The bar staff here use to be pretty good, but has gotten progressively worse through the years. read more

I Love this place, everything was on point! The service was great! I felt like they really appreciated my business! To top it off, Loving the bang bang shrimp! My girlfriend had the dynamite king salmon and I had the stuffed Tilapia. I love the dimmed lighting, it set the mode right for you to be romantic with your lover. I really enjoyed being there with my girlfriend, she and I both enjoyed it very much. We had great conversations and we were both enjoying each others company. read more

Visited Bonefish Grill in Buford Ga for New Years Eve 2020. They were SLAMMED. Our server Anessa was so great . She had lots of help and the whole team worked together flawlessly . Our party of 8 are frequent diners at this location , even having our favorite dishes and cocktails, the meal was wonderful , prepared accurately and served in a timely manner . read more

This place is really hit or miss. You never know what you're going to get. The only thing consistently worthwhile is the bang bang shrimp.

My first time here. The food was excellent. The wait can be frustrating so keep your eyes open for an opening at the first come first serve hi top tables near the bar. I love The fact that my caesar salad came with the option of adding anchovies. I had the sirloin and crab cake which was delectable. If you choose to have steak, do yourself a favor and do not have it cooked more than medium. I'm sorry it took me this long to visit. read more

This was my first visit to Bonefish and I was impressed. We went for my mom's birthday on a Tuesday night. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp to start, and let me just say- YUMMY! Sooo good. Try it! It's lightly spicy, crunchy, juicy, flavor-packed- all of that! For the main course I ordered Lily's Chicken with goat cheese, spinach, artichokes, and a lemon basil sauce. It was delicious. The goat cheese was so warm, and creamy, and smooooth. Everything on that plate was delicious. My mom ended up ordering the wrong salad, so I don't know what she actually got, but my dad ordered the Wagyu beef burger (or was it Kobe?). He said it was delicious. The presentation on everything was beautiful and that just complimented the flavor of the food. The ambiance of the restaurant is classy without being stuffy. The decoration is nice, and the service we received was attentive. Our server seemed like he knew the menu like the back of his hand, but he wasn't pushy or annoying. Oops, I forgot to mention dessert. I LOVE LOVE LOVE creme brulee, so when I saw it on the menu I was excited. Ummm... yeah... not so much. The custard itself was good, but the actual "brulee" (the burnt sugar) wasn't quite up to par. I don't know if the torch broke or if they pre-fired these, but the top wasn't crunchy and it was paper thin or thinner. And my mom hated the flour-less brownie- so did I. It was like a chocolate overdose on a plate. So, the desserts left much to be desired, but everything else was phenomenal. read more

Great food and service. Ordered an appetizer, manager came over and apologized that they were out of what we ordered. We chose another and it came out as priority number one! She also never charged us for the appetizer. Great way to connect with your customer and show you care. Our Thursday night date night is now this location of Bonefish!!! read more

Great place to eat! I love the tropic heat martini, and the filet was so buttery and delicious! Service is wonderful!!

Ok, like baseball 3 strikes and your out. Trip one we were charged for a bottle of wine and not the glass. Honest mistake so on to another. Trip two, Fish was raw. Waited a few months, returned this past week and fish was killed. Have you ever chewed on taffy? Ok, that was the fish. Not just me but the entire table. Sent one dish back and returned with another serving of taffy. Never knew there was such a thing as "Taffy Fish" Strike 3! Why 2 stars? The wait staff each time was great. I felt so bad for them serving "Taffy Fish" to the crowds (we were not the only table sending items back) The manager, though very frustrated was very professional. Cooking fish can be tricky and I find it more of an advanced style of cooking than beef. Until this location can find some experience in the kitchen then Taffy Fish may be the new treat. Another reason for a Star. Bang Bang Shrimp and the bartender. Both good! Until I see more of a star history, this guy nor his wife and group of friends will be returning. read more

Been here like 5-6 times...when red lobster gets overdone, i usually take my family out here. Its got a chic ambiance, nice light music, dimmed lighting, classy milfs drinking white wine...you catch my drift? Crab cakes were fine here. Of coarse you have to get the bang bang shrimp. Fish and chips are bomb. Tilapia is on point too. Basically almost everything i ate, i enjoyed. They have a martini that comes with a glow stick...thought that was cool. Btw bang bang shrimp on wednesday are like 5 dolla...that makes me holla. read more

Be careful eating here. The waitresses tend to add extra to their tips on the check. I myself and also one of my friends experienced the same issue. I'm sure many more have as well. I made a tip of 12.00 but when I received the notice from my bank of the debit, there was an additional 20.00 added to the tip. I didn't keep my receipt and couldn't prove it, I called and spoke to the manager but he seemed unconcerned. My neighbor had an additional 10.00 added to his check. He too contacted the manager but the manager just brushed it off. Keep receipts and write down what you tipped on your copy or they will steal from you. This use to be our favorite place but not after these issues. read more

We were greeted and seated by a very friendly girl at the front, and seated at a great table. Things really went downhill from there. We pretty much started to realize that this place doesn't care about details when the waitress auctioned off our very first items: "Sickeningly sweet Raspberry Martini?" She asked as she held the drink out above the table. "Bland and syrupy Pomegranate Cocktail?" She queried. Again, she asked: "Who ordered the sickeningly sweet Raspberry Martini?" WE ARE A TABLE FOR TWO, For crying out loud... and one of us is a man. The other a woman. REALLY?? You can't figure out where to deliver the drinks? IT'S YOUR JOB!! Nobody asked you to design a rocket engine for SpaceX. She did a somewhat better job with the appetizers. Those, she didn't feel the need to auction off at the table. WAIT... We only ordered one appetizer... but she did put it down in front of my wife. Hey... good guess. There was a 50/50 chance. We of course moved it to the center of the table, so we could share.... BUT... UGH... Those Shrimp were pretty disgusting. Well cooked, and crunchy... Except that they were FLOODED IN MAYONNAISE... what a way to totally turn off what could have been a good dish. Well, it got even worse from there: "Who ordered the teeny weeny Caesar Salad?" "House Salad, anyone?" The auction had begun again, as she held the plates out above our table, asking us to choose and place our salads on the table. Wow! A waitress who has no interest in doing things... WAITRESSY. Perhaps she should have gone into Rocket Science after all... And it didn't end there. Not even a few minutes after finishing our small scraps of lettuce, it started again: "Dry and rubbery Sea Bass?" "Who ordered the previously frozen and over cooked Sea Bass?" "Uncooked 12 ounce Ribeye?" Who ordered the raw 12-ounce Ribeye for the price of 18 ounces?" Again, holding the plates in the air out over the table... "Raw and inedible Ribeye?" "Dried out rubbery fish?" She queried. If that's not enough to make you want to go elsewhere, the Mac & cheese was like a paste from a jar. The Potatoes au graten were lumped and stuck together as if they were frozen and defrosted. There was a time... when this place was REALLY GOOD. Wifey fell in love with the (used to be) tender, juicy, and succulent Chilean Sea Bass. It was - in the old days - pure HEAVEN. Not anymore. Bonefish grill now CUTS EVERY CORNER AT EVERY TURN. From hiring and (not) training... To poor quality ingredients... To non-existent quality control. They clearly have chosen the path of short term profits from the indiscriminate patrons in lieu of what was previously a long term (15+ years) loyalty. read more

Very much like their location in Alpharetta, this place is super romantic feeling with dimly lit lighting, rich wood fixtures, lots of nice decor. I've only been once on a Friday night but service was pretty quick for the crowd, got seated at a long table in front of the bar and quickly ordered drinks. Wine list is extensive with numerous choices per glass and bottle, beer selection is average but this is more a wine/liquor place. Liquor is well stock to full highend spirits so you can spend a little or a lot, good if you're a drinker on a budget. Food is A+, always cooked to order, fresh, and delicious, they aim more towards seafood but a steak here is just as good as any other steak place at this price, and better than an Outback or Long Horn. Overall it's a great place for a date, a group, or just by yourself, just a little more pricey than I usually spend. read more

Great food all the time, every time. Great service. My favorite appetizer is bang bang shrimp- oh so good!!! It's $5 on Wednesdays. Anything on their menu is great. I love getting the rainbow trout. Portion is huge and worth the money. It's not expensive-fancy but doable-fancy restaurant. read more

My wife and I went for our date night, without our children. We made online reservations and were immediately taken to our booth. (Recommend making a reservation rather than waiting 30 minutes to over an hour) My wife and I both ordered- Grouper with shrimp. The food was fresh not frozen, cooked well and lightly blackened. Waitress was attentive and made sure we always had drinks refilled and asked if we needed anything. Dress is casual Prices are moderate We found our new date night restaurant!! read more

Great food and amazing service. I had Lilys Chicken and hubby had fish. Our server was Sheila A. and she was exceptional!! Its nice to go out and be treated well and get good food. read more

I'm a fan of Bonefish. Went in for a late lunch and experienced service as if it was peak lunch time. Didn't expect the wait at the table to be as long. However, when we were finally greeted our server was very nice. Skipped appetizers since we expected to eat dinner later. The Dynamite Shrimp was very good and paired well with the jasmine rice. Would definitely get again! read more
