I had the pleasure of going to this restaurant on Tuesday night. That night they had what's called their Hook Up Menu. You basically get 3 courses for no more than I think $25.99. You get a salad, entree and a dessert with the option to add their amazing Bang Bang Shrimp for $6 more. I ordered a mule to drink and had them to add pomegranate to it for a little more flavor. I then ordered a Caesar salad, the Atlantic salmon drizzled with lemon butter with garlic whipped potatoes and steamed asparagus for my sides and cheesecake for dessert. All of my food came out in a timely manner and the execution was amazing. Krysta was my waitress and she made me feel right at home. She checked on me with a smile every time and made my night by thinking I was years younger than my short age of 24. Great food and great service! I'll be back soon. read more

Love love Bonefish Grill! Only wish there was another in the Northeast of Columbia. Everyone is very friendly there and portions are generous! Priced reasonably. read more

to-go staff was awesome, super friendly and very great service! food was good and I will definitely be returning.

We ate there a month ago and was very satisfied. Earlier today, we ordered the Family bundle Creamy Cajun Pasta with Chicken to go. Unfortunately, the pasta was bland...no seasoning at all. I tasted nothing cajun. The grilled chicken was ok. The salad was great and the cookies were delicious. But the main meal was very disappointing. read more

I was hungry, and it was late... About 10:30 pm and thankfully their kitchen is open until 11:30. I ordered the ceviche and the wagyu beef potstickers for appetizer. The flavor of the ceviche was good, but I did have some issues. Now, granted, I've never HAD ceviche before, but I watch the food network all the time. And I recall the chefs tearing into one masterchef contestant for their ceviche being too chunky. It's supposed to be finely diced. Not so with the ceviche at Bonefish Grill. Their ceviche features shrimp, scallops, and fish. The shrimp were whole, and also the scallops. But the scallops were rather tiny anyway, so it sort of made a contrast to the huge chunks of fish. All the veggies and dressing were in the bottom of the cup, I would have liked it mixed a bit better. And the kicker? They served it with tortilla chips. If it had been finely chopped like ceviche is supposed to be, I could see eating it with a chip. But as large as the chunks of seafood were, eating it with a chip was impractical. I asked my waiter about the lack of dicing and he told me that corporate decided to serve the ceviche as large chunks. If that's the case than I would suggest leaving the chips off entirely. The wagyu beef potstickers were yummy. Tender, flavorful, and a nice portion. They had a merlot marinated steak on special, so I had that with a side of crimini mushroom ravioli. The steak was wonderful . Tender and with a spot on cook. It was served with what I was told was summer succotash. In the south that means yellow corn and Lima beans. And that's what I was expecting . That's not what I got. After mentioning that it tasted like the Lima beans were underdone, my waiter informed me that their succotash was made of corn and edamame. A few more bites and the flavor was ok, but I still didn't care for the texture of soft corn and firm edamame. The mushroom ravioli were served swimming in sage butter. I really wish they would have said that, I would have asked them to leave the sauce off. I don't much care for sage, especially fresh sage, and the clarified butter soaked into the pasta and to me made it taste oily. I ended up asking for napkins and dried the ravioli off. The lingering butter and sage still almost overwhelmed any mushroom flavor. How disappointing . I didn't stay for dessert. I have to say that I would order the ceviche again, because the flavor was good, but I still look forward to trying the real thing someday. Hope this was helpful. Enjoy! read more

Flashback to pre Covid. This restaurant would get half my paycheck every month and was my hands down favorite restaurant. It was jam packed every night and food and service was consistently 5 stars. Post Covid(2021) I have been here once per year since then and this is the last time. Food quality and service has been abysmal and last time I told my wife it was the last. She convinced me to come tonight and it will be the last for sure. The seats and table were dirty, the appetizer plates were dirty (food dried on), drinking glasses were dirty (food dried on). The bang bang shrimp had most of the batter falling off (oily and not drained), the fries were oily because the fish drained on top, my fish was not light and flakey but slightly soggy. My wife said her meal was just average and nothing special but we agree, we will not be back especially at this price point for sub par food. The best part of our meal was our server Aamir. He was very polite, professional, attentive, and single handedly kept this a 3 star review. We might try another location but this one will not be on our list to return to. Even if they comped our meal this was one too many times and we will not be back. read more

Bonefish Grill is an amazing spot for everything. I have celebrated my birthday at Bonefish multiple years. I love their happy hour specials and cocktails. They offer occasional​ specials throughout the week such as Martini Mondays which has martinis starting at $6. There is Hooked on Tuesday which is their seafood specials. On Wednesday, there is Bang Wednesday for $6 Bang Bang Shrimp. I always stick to the Bang Bang Shrimp and Lily's Chicken. But, their burger, salads, fish, and chips are all lovely​. I cannot get enough of their​ mashed potatoes. I always​ end the night with a Crème brûlée. read more

My husband and I took our son to dinner on 1/26. While my husband and some said their entrees were okay, I can honestly say mine was possibly the worst thing I've ever eaten. I did not say anything to our server as I didn't want to ruin our son's evening. I ordered the cod imperial and the cod was dry, tough and stringy. The sauce and seafood stuffing were both incredibly salty. The mashed potatoes were ok but the broccoli was completely flavorless and unseasoned. We ordered the tempura crunch sashimi tuna appetizer to share. It was 5 postage stamp slices of tuna with no crunch in sight and served over lettuce with more siracha and wasabi than tuna. This was almost $17! It looked nothing like the photo on your website. I've eaten at several Bonefish Grills in different states and your presentation was more meat and three diner than upscale seafood restaurant. I posted a photo of what it was supposed to look like. Overall a disappointment. read more

So I intended this to be a special culinary treat as I abused my body in army training BUT then I discovered their great happy hour! The ceviche is better than I had in Spain where they invented it! Only $5 during HH and it's healthy! And the drinks are CHEAP too although my trainings so intense I can only have one. The food I've had here is all 5 stars on taste. The ambience is classy. I even saw a celebrity here last week! Actually 2! read more

Staff went out of their way to make sure our meal was perfect. Brianna was a marvelous waitress, caring about her customers. Wendy on the management staff was fantastic. My husband and I usually share dishes...getting to taste more of their delights. Tonight we shared the Thai coconut shrimp and the Filet Oscar and shared a house salad and since we did have a little room left, we couldn't resist the lava cake. The house wines were flavorful and reserve quality. It's the best place to celebrate anything or just have a super meal. read more

Ordered from here on DoorDash, food arrived hot but that's all.I ordered George's banks shrimp and scallops, scallops missing, had only 5 shrimp, broccoli inedible and was way overcooked, mash potatoes were not real.My wife got wood fired salmon, her asparagus was so overcooked she couldn't even eat it. Paid 60 dollars for a lot of mush, will definitely never go here again and was my first time there, salmon was very tasty on the upside! read more

I usually do pick up here since is around the corner from me. I was greeted and asked like 4 times by employees if i had been helped yet. This made me feel great! This is what you call great service all around! I was just picking up and they knew it. Kudos to the service manager and staff at Bone Fish Forest Dr. read more

You gotta love Bonefish! We visited for a birthday dinner and got the grilled salmon with pan-Asian sauce and bang bang shrimp. Yes.. bang bang might be an appetizer, but Kelsay treated it as an entree and loved every bite. She also got some green in her meal with a Caesar salad, also known as the perfect salad for any occasion. The salmon was excellent, as usual, and the pan-Asian sauce is top notch. We'll be back! read more

Could have been a lot better. Very disappointing. It started out when they were opening the door to allow customers in. The door wasn't opened properly and for a brief time my wife was stuck in the revolving door. Not funny at all. We ordered drinks and brunch. Our bloody Mary's arrived without bacon that always comes in the glass along with olives. I asked the waitress about it. Her answer, it probably wasn't read. They why give it to me? The price wasn't reduced accordingly. My crab frittata arrived, over done. I had to scrap it from the sides. It was horrible. so dry and tasteless. When my coffee was brought to m, I added the cream that accompanied it. Out of the cream came lumps of cream. when I stirred the coffee the cram separated. Now there was a layer of oil on top of the coffee. The excuse I was given was its cream. The only time the waitress returned was to ask us if we wanted the check. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict. When they arrived they were warm. Not hot but warm. Within ten minutes they were cold. Because the temperature in the restaurant was cold. Certainly not a good experience. Would I go back. Certainly not! This is not my first bad experience at Bonefish Grill. Next time I want breakfast or brunch, I'll go local to a mom and pops place. Breakfast at McDonald's is actually better and it wouldn't cost me $70.00. By the way if you do go there to eat and order a Bloody Mary, make sure they add all the ingredients. Including alcohol and not a glass that is filled with 3/4 of ice. read more

I haven't been to Bonefish Grill in 13 years and I must say the food was still pretty good. I had the Cioppino which was really good and tasty. Hubby had the steak and crab cake w/garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. He enjoyed his meal except for the broccoli it had no flavor. His steak was good, but could have used a little more seasoning. My daughter has the fish strips which she didn't really like and her fries were cold, I asked if she wanted me to get her more fries but she said no. I thought the fish tasted pretty good. We also had the bang bang shrimp and Calamari for appetizers they both were yummy. To my surprise I didn't get a chance to take a pic. read more

Where do I start except to say they need some serious turnover in the kitchen! Reservations for 5 on 5/7 spent close to $300 no alcohol. Fish and chips were not crispy and cold fries, lobster small cold and heavily seasoned, grilled shrimp not done, green beans came out after most of the meal was done and then they were hard. Etc etc The two stars is for the server! They got something right! read more

My partner and I can in to dine for a romantic dinner, upon arrival there was a Christmas advent calendar at the door with a flyer that prompted us to open for a surprise. Inside was a 15% off coupon. When I presented this to the Host, they informed me that it was a legitimate coupon. The host then handed our server our menus to seat us, with the reply from the server "What section, I just got here"? After being sat as two top at table for six, our server began to take our order which went fine. After taking our order he became less attentive to the table with my salad coming out minutes before with my main course. Overall the food was good but the service the server gave was lackluster. When it came time to pay the server acted as if he had not known about the coupon. Although he was standing there while I presented it to the host. He then went to "check with the manager" and handed us a different coupon that states 15% off "entire purchase" for dinner. When handed this the server told us that the coupon was "for our next purchase" not the current meal we were having, which is listed nowhere on the coupon (See attachment). This frustrated me as if this was the case it should have been explained when we arrived at the restaurant and asked about the coupon. We are thankful for the coupon but feel slighted by the restaurants lack of clarity on this promotion. If the coupon says 15% off "Your entire purchase" it should be valid for the meal we ate, if it applied towards the next purchase then it should state that on the coupon (See attachment). read more

Order the Norwegian Salmon! Fresh special of the day. It surprised me how perfect it was. It was delicious. The taste and the texture the color the seasoning everything. I ordered asparagus with it. The asparagus was really sorry. My friend said it look like a senior citizen. No offense to senior citizens but I think she meant to say it looked like it was 100 years old. I'm very judgmental when it comes to food so you can trust that tonight, as a matter of fact, just one hour ago I ate the Norwegian salmon and it was amazeballs! I'm so happy right now. That just made my night. My other friend ordered the tuna and was highly disappointed. Update: im sorry I had to take a star off. I just went back and had brunch with my friends. I ordered an omelette and guess what? It was cooked by microwave. I feel totally disrespected. Who goes somewhere for brunch and wants a microwaved omelette? It was disgusting. I am probably not going to that bonefish Grill again because they microwave too many things. For example, all of their side vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus.They should be ashamed of themselves for that blasphemy read more

My significant other suggested I try the Bang Bang Shrimp. Tasty but not a favorite. We shared a slice of key lime pie. It was good but not the best I've tasted. Our server was great. Of course we'll go again because Bonefish Grill is one of those places you just can't do once. read more

I had a new dish for me, a superfood salad with grilled salmon....it is my new favorite. I could eat it everyday! The salmon was fabulous and cooked perfectly. The staff was superb and the owner visited our table twice. Can't say enough good stuff about this recent dining experience! read more

Delicious shrimp tacos! Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. However, our waiter could have been a little better in attending to us and both of our benches were damaged.

Hello my fellow yelpers. Yes it is me again traveling to find the best customer service and of course the good food to go with it. So my journey started yesterday, nine hours later I'm in North Carolina for one of my family members of whom is graduating from Boot Camp in the army. So first I just want to tell her congratulations and I am so proud of her. And for those of you who follow my yelping first things first. Customer service! So my server, Sara, was phenomenal. Her service from the time that we sat down at our table until the time that we got ready to leave what's most personable and professional. She made exceptions for one of my family members that was with her to accommodate his needs for that of what he needed to eat and that to me was absolutely over and above. Now for the food. It was so good! Was it because I was hungry, no I enjoyed the smoked salmon with Melody salsa along with steamed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes . The fish was moist, the garlic potatoes were rich and not too stiff, and the broccoli with a dipping sauce to go with it which was just butter, correction seasoned butter, was oh so good. Everything came out hot and was most delicious. So something I normally don't do but this time I absolutely have to. I have to give a big shout out to the bartender. He was so good, his hospitality was so on point. Not only did he make a specialty drink that we gave him the recipe for but he brought it over to our table. My overall experience was wonderful. If I am ever in this area again I Will definitely be coming back. read more

I've been going to this Bonefish Grill for about 2 years now. The whole time, Scott and Terrel been the owners and run the place very well. The atmosphere is great for intimate conversations. The music isn't too loud and seating is comfortable. Bonefish is a chain that doesn't feel like a chain. Their food is consistently cooked and you can always expect great services. I like everything on the menu (yes, I've eaten everything on the menu). Their wines are OK for a chain. I'm a red wine fan. They have specials always to mix things up. And, if you go during the winter season, and they have chocolate creme brulee, get it. It is to die for. The flourless brownie is great. The key lime pie is nice. And, the Jamacian coconut pie is heaven. The barstaff is awesome. I often just eat at the bar and end up having a nice conversation with the bartenders. If you want to get a quick, nice meal with great atmosphere and reasonable service, this is the place to come. It's a great place to take first dates too. read more

This past weekend was my first time eating here. I had heard a lot about it but never went. The food was great. I am not a fish eater but I love other types of sea food. We started the night off with the calamari and a cocktail. Smaller pieces would have been better for me but it was cooked perfectly and was lightly seasoned. The Asian sauce was a great compliment to the appetizer. My entree was the stuffed Longfin. Remember I'm not a fish eater, my friends talked me into trying it again. It was delicious! I guess they have made a believer out of me. We ended the night with key lime pie. Very good not over powering. The service was great too. Our waiter was polite and very helpful with the choice of fish I should try to the brand of vodka in my blue cheese stuffed olives martini. Yum. A great experience. I will go back and maybe try a different type of fish. read more

After a long but fun day of exploring the zoo, we headed here at the suggestion of one of our party. Usually I'm loathe to review chains (restaurant or otherwise) because I figure they don't need the extra notoriety. However, for Bonefish Grill (henceforth, BFG - both for the Roald Dahl and Doom shout outs, of course) I'll make an exception. We arrived on the early side of dinner so were seated immediately. I knew our server was going to be good when she brought a set of crayons and a kids menu on her first pass for the toddler of the group (and was genuinely interested in her new stuffed zebra). She maintained an equally high standard for the rest of our meal, keeping our drinks filled up and checking in when needed. Speaking of drinks, special mention for their iced, unsweet tea. So good by itself with actual tea flavor, you might not need to add sugar (and yes, I said unsweet - being a non-native southerner, I just can't rock the southern sweet tea. It's usually way too sweet for me...like onset diabetes sweet). Having burned a fair amount of calories hiking around the zoo and gardens, we ordered two appetizers, the bang bang shrimp and the calamari. Both worth it. Order them. Trust me. The supplied ciabatta bread and olive oil were good too. I ordered the Imperial Longfin as my entrée. Here's why (quoting from the menu): "pan-seared, baked and stuffed with shrimp, scallops, crab meat and lemon caper butter"...it's fish stuffed with THREE OTHER KINDS of tasty sea protein. THREE. Plus butter. I did hold back on the sides though and went with two veggie options, the house zucchini special and sliced tomato with balsamic vinegar, feta, and basil. All our entrées arrived in short order and were excellent. So overall, worth the trip if you're feeling like some seafood. Reasonably priced considering the quality and service. Easily would be part of my restaurant rotation if I had one in my nabe. read more

Pros: Upbeat atmospher and great service. Cons: food was not worth the price. We came here just to experiment with the place because it has good reviews in yelp. Well, the bread is good. I ordered a fish tacos and my gf ordered a grilled Mahi Mahi....keep in mind we are both hungry and you know if we are hungry everything taste good. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the taste. Its just like a regular fish from regular restaurant. I felt like I just wanted our money eating there. We probably not coming back anymore . We left unsatisfied because of the small portion and boring taste. read more

The customer service is HORRIBLE. I had a 1:00 reservation and wasn't seated until 1:40! That is RIDICULOUS! If you're doing reservations, you should have the table ready for the people who made the reservation at the time it was made. People who came to the restaurant after us were seated before us. You should also be doing only reservations and not allowing people who just walk in to get seated before those who have reservations. The hostess was not accommodating and extremely rude. The food was over priced and the wait staff wasn't attentive to our table at all. I am absolutely livid and will not be coming back here any time soon. Would NOT recommend. read more

This location has been open for five years and does not have a review?! Surprising for a top notch restaurant with great drinks, tasty food, and fantastic service in an area that does not have too many options outside of fast food joints. Granted it is a chain, but still... I was in Columbia on business and stopped in for dinner on a recent night. I timed it right and caught the end of Happy Hour and got in on the perfectly crafted 1/2 price martinis (bonus coming from Chicago where there is no such thing) with bleu cheese olives, yum! From there I moved on to beer and the bartenders were very knowledgeable about the different styles of beer they offered and what would complement my order. I settled on a Belgian Style Ale brewed in the region, and it was the perfect choice with my grilled salmon sandwich. Everything about my dinner there was great; the service was top notch, the food was delicious, the drinks were perfect, and it was just a great experience, I look forward to getting back there very soon! read more
