We came here after seeing a movie and were seated immediately. Our server was busy but very attentive. The bang bang shrimp was really good. I liked the sauce an appreciated how perfectly the shrimp was cooked. The Creamy Tomato Salmon Linguine was very saucy and a bit messy but was delicious. The salmon wasn't overcooked and paired well with the linguine. I'd order it again. read more

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. The waiter took our order and brought our drinks. He brought the soup, then salad. The soup was good. The salad was terrible. It was the regular side salad. The lettuce was getting old and brown. The heats of palm had a very strong vinegar taste. It was so strong, it upset our stomachs. We picked all of the bad pieces of lettuce out and put it on a plate with the rest of the hearts of palm. We told our waiter about it and he told us that whoever did them must not have tasted it and it was too strong, he would let the kitchen know. Normally, the manager would come to the table to inquire, but nobody came to the table. We ate some of our meal, but we had to take it with us because our stomachs were upset. We will not be going back to this restaurant again. read more

Shaun was the best!! He's quick, so personable, and makes you feel at home. Meal was awesome too (:

Came here while in town for the CIAA football championship. It was my first time actually staying in Durham. I stayed at a hotel that was in walking distance to Bonefish. So as soon as it opened i was there. My friends and i were one of 3 tables in there. Our waiter Eric was great. Made some suggestions like the cauliflower omg it was so good! I do not like steamed cauliflower or even raw cauliflower. But this made me order to go lol. The chowder was good with crab meat on top. The crab cakes were mainly filling and i forgot this being from MD i rarely order crab cakes outside of my home area. My friend got the espresso martini which was filling and she definitely enjoyed. I got the non alcoholic blueberry spritzer lemonade. It was really sweet but good. We got the bourbon glazed salmon which was also good. read more

This is my second or third time eating at the Bonefish Grill. We you walk in you walk to the host/Hostess podium you either get a waiting time or let them know you have a reservation. I personally just go to the bar if it's just me or someone else with me to be served immediately. The customer service have been great since my very first visit here but the manager made things right and I have no complaints whatsoever. The food is amazing here. I ordered the signature pasta with shrimp. It come with bread as well. I also ordered Bang Bang shrimp appetizer which is so crispy and delicious. I've ordered filet and shrimp dinner which come with 2 signature sides are you can upgrade to the premium sides for $4 more which is so worth it. I got the creamy risotto and the glazed Brussels sprouts. The desserts I've tried here were the lava cake and the chocolate creme brulee. The desserts change up frequently so you'll never have the same thing. I highly recommend this place. This is a definite go to for me when I am in the area. SYOY! :) read more

Food was excellent and our server, Corbin, was absolutely wonderful. However our first interaction was with the hostess who was extremely rude and disrespectful. She had a look of total disgust on her face and didn't take the time to welcome us or even look at us. She grabbed two menus and just walked to the table with a look of near hate on her face. We were there on Sunday 11/30/25 at around 8:00 pm. 5 stars if not for our horrible hostess. read more

Mother's Day 2026. Drove 30 minutes to Bonefish Grill in Durham. Placed our drink order and food order. Drinks and food arrived in reasonable amount of time. After getting g food, signaled waiter over less than a fourth of the way through our food. Asked for boxes so we could pack up our food to take home. We had gotten tired of fighting flies that were constantly landing on our food. The waiter was apologetic. Paying the amount of money I should not have to be constantly fighting flies landing on my food. read more

Granted, it's been a little while since I've been to Bonefish Grill. I recall loving the imperial crab dip. Not so much tonight. Chips were broken, heavily seasoned, very bitter to taste. The dip was inconsistently warm, with the scallops and half the shrimp being cold to the touch. Clearly it sat under the heater and the assumption was made the burned cheese was considered a cooked dish. There was some red redemption with the fish and chips... until all of the greasy fish on top of the fries turn them to a macerated and oily mess at the bottom of the plate. Service was OK. Nothing to write Home about. Not her fault about the quality of food, but definitely wouldn't be a bad idea to check the quality before putting it on the table. Too many other fine dining options in this area to spend this kind of money. Choose someplace else. read more

Last night I was very disappointed in my meal . My dolphin fish ( not the mammal ) was overcooked to the point it was indistinguishable from fried chicken. The portion size was 1/2 to 1/3 the size of what I would consider to be normal . I have caught and cleaned this fish . A dolphin filet is normally twice the thickness of what I received . They even skimped on the jasmine rice which must have been served using a small ice cream scope. Service is lame . I was satisfied in years past with this restaurant. This was past year or so it has gone downhill. This was the Bonefish Grill near the Streets of Southpoint in Durham, NC. read more

My wife and I dined here for our Valentine Day date, but a few days later, to avoid crowds. As always, the Bang-Bang Shrimp was on spot and a one-item wonder! The fried shrimp was piled wonderfully high on a completely submerged (not even visible) bed of delightfully fresh, crisp shredded romaine lettuce. My wife and I both ordered one of these appetizers each for each of us. To follow up, we ordered as our entree the "fish and chips." That, on the other hand, was far less than spectacular. Don't get me wrong: the presentation was well done--it was an attractive dish, on its surface! That said, I suppose, if (what seemed to be) one-inch-plus of thickly breaded dough batter (not corn meal) hiding comparatively small strips of fish inside these three pieces of fried fish, along with a very small (albeit quite yummy) portion of fries is your thing, then this is perhaps a winner. However, my wife and I do not at all favor breaded fish; but prefer cornmeal or nothing. Why I did not think to ask which way this fish was fried before ordering it, I am not sure--but I sure wish I had. I suppose that, with typical "Fish & Chips," this method of flour battering is no doubt more common than that of using corn meal. Still, honestly, this dish was overkill on the batter: it looked nice, but tasted less than such, to us, anyway. Thus, we were both disappointed with this entree; and wish we had ordered nothing but the Bang-Bang Shrimp, period. Now, that said, there was nothing at all wrong with the food, any of the items, or the service. All of the items were aesthetically arranged, and quality food. The fish was very fresh tasting. Of course, the shrimp was delectably crisp and hauntingly delicious! Overall, this was a delightful meal! However, if "Fish & Chips" is your inclination, be sure to decide which type of breading you prefer on your fish--and be ready for seemingly far more batter than actual fish. If you like that type and degree of batter, you might be in for quite a delight. As for the Bang-Bang Shrimp, I do not see how you could go wrong, no matter your tastes! That dish is insanely delicious. read more

Was here for a sales event and because it was quite a large group and the speaker was Very long winded, who wouldn't let them serve us till he was done, it took an inordinate amount of time to get served. I had a cup of the corn and crab chowder that was just okay. Lots of corn, even more potatoes, and very little crab, plus a very thick broth. The blackened fish tacos (3) were quite good, large, and filled to the brim with ingredients. The fries were good too. Definitely recommend. There was one waitress handling the group for most of the time until the food came out. Finally some additional help! I hope the company hosting this event left a huge tip because it was well deserved. The soup was read more

My wife and I came here for date night, but, the lackluster experience really left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm not sure what we expected from a chain restaurant, but that's what we got. The best part of the meal truly was the fresh bread and dipping oil. Our drinks were a let down. My old fashion fell flat. I wanted to have a stiff drink and felt like I just got stiffed, while the sangria was super sugary. Probably had a trainee at the bar. Needless to say, this place isn't worth dropping $85 for a meal! How is the mac and cheese a premium side??? There was nothing premium about it. There was just a sprinkling of bacon on it. I didn't even finish it. Thankfully the fish was done well. Nonetheless, we will continue our hunt for a great date night spot. read more

My father and I went to Bonefish Grill for dinner after a long day at Pinehurst Golf course for the U.S. Open. Dad had a gift card to use, so that was the deciding factor. We arrived around 9:30 pm, which was late, and the restaurant was not that busy. We were seated, and our server Eric, greeted us a few minutes later and took our drink order. It appeared that Eric was the closing server for the night, because he was busy with other tables, and it took him 15-20 minutes for him to bring us our drink order. Once he brought our drink order, we ordered an appetizer and then we ordered our entrees. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer. It was delicious and fresh!! It was a good portion for two people to share. I ordered the Parmesan-crusted Rainbow Trout with steamed broccoli and garlic whipped potatoes for my entree. My father ordered the Cod Delight entree. We loved them very much! The rainbow trout was cooked to perfection. My father loved his cod delight. Eric did forget to bring us bread in the beginning of service, so I had to ask for bread. He did bring it within a few minutes. The ambiance is beautiful and gorgeous with very attractive lighting and colors throughout the restaurant. Overall, the dining experience was good, but the service was lacking a little bit from Eric, but he was busy with other tables, so I can understand his situation. He was very professional and nice and took good care of us , so it was worthwhile. Bonefish Grill is a great restaurant and would recommend it to all of my friends. The food is perfect! read more

Slow service and average food. It wasn't too busy, since we ate a late dinner on a weekday. But they were short staffed and disorganized with the assistant system. My main waitress told us 3 times that she asked her "assistant" to bring us bread, but he kept forgetting I guess. My waitress was also bartending as well, which props to her because I felt bad for her running back and forth and all over the place. We got the bang bang shrimp for starters which had a pretty good flavor. For entrees, I got the salmon with broccoli and coleslaw, but they apparently forgot my coleslaw and just gave me broccoli. The salmon was nicely charred and soft. I heard from my friend that their steak was also very tender and juicy. Overall, pretty good meal, but the service was just too slow. read more

Just went to Bonefish Grill in Durham. Overall things were good, but not quite as good as we hoped for a moderately upscale restaurant. My wife has the sea bass. That was excellent. I had the Linguine del Mar special. That was good but not quite as tasty as I hoped. We shared risotto and potatoes au gratin. The risotto was OK but the flavor was not nearly as good as really well prepared risotto. The potatoes were overcooked and crunchy, not at all the creamy flavor you expect for au gratin. Considering the food is moderately expensive, we were a bit disappointed overall. Service was good. read more

We've enjoyed the Bonefish franchise for years in Charlotte. Today we ate in Durham. Like everything else, the prices were noticeably higher and goodies noticeably less. Bang bang shrimp was very good and as expected. I had the Bonefish House Salad with scallops instead of shrimp. Last time I had it there were three hearts of palm stalks, now only two slices. And a couple of olives and tomatoes. The dressing is still yummy light and flavorful. My husband got the Bonefish pasta special which sounded good, but was pretty blah in flavor. I like that Bonefish has their employees wear the chefs' jackets but for the love of God, clean and press them for the employees. Our server's jacket was filthy. That, with the piercings, was a bit hard to swallow. He brought our dinners out before we'd even started our appetizers which made us feel a bit rushed. I'd still go back but really wish they'd work a bit more with the staff to tighten up the timing and clean up their appearance. read more

Sunday Brunch at Bonefish Grill! Bonefish Grill started offering Sunday Brunch on Sun. Jan. 22, 2023. From 11 am - 3 pm you can enjoy items from the new, very limited (4 choices) Brunch menu. All items come with bacon and breakfast potatoes. First the service was 5/5. I ordered the Grand Marnier French Toast Sticks. I should have tasted them before adding syrup. They were very sweet...so sweet I couldn't eat them. I also expect cinnamon in French Toast which I didn't taste any. Potatoes were great; crispy, hot, good flavor. My plate was missing bacon. 4/5 However, my friend got bacon on his plate. He ordered the Crab and Fontina Cheese Frittata. It's an egg soufflé with cheese and lump crab meat on top and inside. 5/5 Bloody Mary's and an Expresso Martini are offered by the glass. Mimosas by the glass or you can get a bottle of Prosecco with a carafe of orange juice. Shareable pitchers of Sangria and Margaritas that the menus says has 3 cocktails per pitcher are also available. There was the option to order from the regular menu but we came for Brunch. It was hard not to order the Bang Bang Shrimp though. I was still hungry only eating bacon (which I did get eventually) and potatoes. Limited hot tea options also. I am extremely optimistic Bonefish will improve on the Brunch menu. I strongly recommend giving them a try. I'll be back when they add more Brunch items or I'll order from main menu. Love the atmosphere. read more

This chain has gone way down hill. I genuinely enjoyed bonefish experiences in the past but the last 3 or 4 visits have been way below average on both food and service. I stopped in around noon for lunch last week and sat at the bar which typically gets fast/friendly service. Bang bang shrimp is the standard for bonefish appetizer now that they have completely removed the seared tuna app. Unfortunately all the breading was falling off and just not like it used to be. The salad I ordered was fine but came out 10 minutes after the shrimp even though they were ordered together. Bartender was friendly but non-existent when I was ready to pay before getting to my next meeting. Overall the experience does not make me want to go back. read more

Service was horrible, food was cold when served manger Remington Jarrett does not care nor follows through.

First time at this BF location. Typical style and clean. Host/hostess staff were very nice. Server was just ok. We had a Parker's margarita and the Crushed pineapple martini, both very tasty. We opted for the Imperial appetizer very creamy, cheesy with loads of shrimp and a nice broiled crust. For dinner we had the Pineapple Shrimp and the Baja Scallops and Shrimp. My shrimp was excellent but the scallops were swimming in a broth and wasn't appealing though they tasted ok. Grilled would have been much better. Overall, a decent meal in a nice dining room. read more

I enjoyed a great luncheon with family members at this location. The food was delicious and the service was great. The restaurant wasn't crowded and I am certain that helped in avoiding a long wait for our entrees. Our appetizers included the signature bang, bang shrimp (5/5), and fried calamari (3/5 - I found it to be a bit salty). For my entree, I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon, as I often do when dining out, with spring veggies (green beans) and Jasmine rice (5/5). To go, I ordered the Carrot Lava Cake and must give it a 7/5. It was divine! The taste was heightened by the cream cheese filling in the center. Wow. I must visit again soon to have another. read more

Great bar scene on Friday night. Christian and Nicole are excellent bartenders. The vibe is like Cheers.

One of the worst restaurants ever. Don't go there. Please find another good restaurant around to go. Go to PF changs or firebirds instead. The food was terrible. We came here for Father's Day and the teak was too fatty. Two peace of potatoes and they now add tomatoes on the place. I am not sure what raw tomatoes got to do with steak. Apart from fatty steak it's so sweet like whatever the source they put on it. Please go to Ruth Chris for good steak. The only thing that worth it a little bit is bang bang shrimp and that's if you must go there and order anything. All the food were horrible. No taste and ridiculously overpriced too. It's like you are at damn chillis or Applebees if they are not even better self. read more
