It was Midwinter Meetup with the son and daughter-in-law, and dear old dad chose Bonefish Grill. Considering Anthony Bourdain's advice in "Kitchen Confidential," it was rather daring to choose fish on a Monday. But I figured Bonefish Grill probably had figured out how to offer something good early in the week, and I was not disappointed. Three of four had Lily's Salmon, wood-grilled, topped with goat cheese, spinach, artichoke heart (literally, like one), lemon basil sauce, and served with a side, in my case, some French fries. There weren't a lot of fries on the plate, but that was ok, it matched the size of the salmon, and was nicely presented on a large, circular white plate. Four diners, three salads, two ciders, one beer, waters all around. Nice day off lunch. read more

I have only ate at this bonefish twice. The first time I remember it being excellent. I thought my mom would enjoy it so we had lunch there today. The service was decent. The food was okay. Mine was way too salty for my taste. I wiped off seasonings on my shrimp to try to make it better. The mashed potatoes tasted only of salt. The broccoli was edible but still too salty for me. The chicken was pretty decent. My mom didn't love her salad but said it was okay, She didn't like the dressing and the cranberries were too tart for her, but she improvised. My mom who loves stuff salty tasted my potatoes and agreed they were very salty. I told the waitress my food was too salty, especially the potatoes. She tried to tell me they don't put salt in them, then she clarified they must come that way from wherever they get them. She kept defending them. I am more disappointed at her defending, almost arguing about the mashed potatoes than the fact I couldn't eat them. Way to expensive the quality. Will not return. read more

Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere. I was with a group of 7 people, and our server did a great job getting everyone's food and drinks correct and out in a reasonable time. I had the scallop special with mango and coconut sauce over jasmine rice with green beans. The scallops were perfectly tender and the sauce was an excellent blend of sweet and spicy, but not too sweet or too spicy. The portion size was just right. We shared bang bang shrimp, seared tuna, and fried coconut shrimp for appetizers, and they were all delicious. This was my first time at the Evansville Bonefish; I have visited this chain at other cities. I will be back the next time I need a good seafood fix! read more

Yelp snobs please hold your noses now, but yes I am reviewing and rewarding a chain restaurant 4 stars. I live in Chicago and have access to a lot of stellar restaurants, but I travel for work extensively and end up in many smaller Midwest locations where Bonefish has a presence. I've eaten at 3 different locations (most recently this one in Evansville, IN) and the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Their Bang Bang Shrimp is sinful appetizer and a total steal on Wednesdays when it's only 5 bucks. I've also tried their crabcakes which were crispy on the outside and moist and meaty on the inside. The trout with the lemon butter sauce is divine, and I have NEVER found a bone in my fish (a common problem with that fish at many other "fine" restaurants. Be sure to ask for the complimentary bread. It's heavenly when dipped in their olive oil and pesto. read more

I used to love this place ..especially their fish and chips. I emailed them the other day due to 2 orders of this being so greasy that I had to throw them away (36.00) down the drain. Not even sure they use cod anymore...seemed more like whitefish than cod. Same thing happened a few months ago. Guess thats it for them. And I never received acknowledgment from my email either! Thanks Bonefish! I actually,tipped them as well. Guess now that the have my money it's done! read more

I had the chicken and it was amazing my daughter had the steak and she loved it crème brûlée for dessert. Service was a little slow but they were busy. But the food was so great it was definitely worth the wait. read more

Seafood good enough to make my friends in San Francisco jealous! I was in Evansville for a couple of days and decided to see what Bonefish Grill offered based mostly on it's positive Yelp reviews. It didn't disappoint. It is in a large, slightly (but not exceptionally) upscale strip mall on the major expressway that runs across town. It was crowded and we were told to expect a 30 minute wait. However, we really waited only about fifteen minutes, We were seated and promptly greeted by Kevin, our waiter. Kevin was exceptional. When the tuna I ordered was unavailable he recommended the swordfish, and even told me that it would be on him if I didn't like it. He took excellent care of us, recommending an excellent beer to go with both of our dinners, recommending an amazing pumpkin creme brulee dessert, and checking on us often. He was quite possibly one of the best waiters I've ever had. The food was excellent. We enjoyed everything. The swordfish was cooked perfectly with just a little crispy sear but still quite moist inside. The pumpkin ravioli was a perfect accompaniment to the swordfish, as was my beer. My wife had the shrimp and the crab corn chowder, both of which she absolutely loved. It was a bit expensive, but quite worth it. I'd definitely return if I am in Evansville again. read more

FOOD: 4 stars - All the apps (bang bang shrimp, calamari and smoked salmon) and desserts (pumpkin creme brulee, coconut creme pie and key lime pie) were delicious. The only reason the food is not getting 5 stars is because of a lack of seasoning on my swordfish with pumkin ravioli and because the crab fried rice was very underwhelming. DRINK: 5 stars - The pear-tini is phenomenal SERVICE: 5 stars - Not sure about our servers name but he and all the staff were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and funny ENVIRONMENT: 4 stars - Overall good ambience and decor. The restaurant was a tad too loud and dark for my personal preference read more

I traveled to Evansville on business, so the restaurant choice for the nice was not mine. I would have preferred to experience the local eateries instead, but everyone wanted to go for the Bang, Bang Shrimp! The Bang, Bang Shrimp was one of the best parts of the meal. That stuff is really, really good. I have never had shrimp with spice like that; however, I usually do not like sauces that heavy on my seafood. For dinner, I had the Seabass, which was quite delicious. This did not have any sauce on it as I believe it was grilled. I opted for a side of grilled asparagus instead of the traditional side, which was amazing as well. Now I bet you are wondering why I give this place 3-stars?? Simple service. I am all about my service and the service here was 3-star service. For a restaurant in Evansville to have higher prices like Bonefish, the service better be amazing. We sat at the table for about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, which was brutal considering there were about 8 other tables in the place. Multiple items were ordered and the waitress came back on a few occasions to say the items were out of stock and a change had to be made to the order. First of all, do not come back to the table multiple times to tell us the soup is out of stock, then return 20 minutes later to inform us mango salsa is out.... to me this is just adding to the time we have to wait for our order. I understand people make mistakes, but when you have to apologize multiple times for poor service and not paying attention to the table we can only accept your apology a few times before we start lying to save face. read more

Really, I'd like to give them 3.5 stars. I went as a party of 6 on a Wednesday night. We had been tipped off to their Wed. night special of Bang Bang shrimp for $5. Even though the website site says, "all day" they are not open for lunch. We learned the hard way! 4 of us got the Bang Bang. The appetizer is plenty as a meal but there is also an entree option than includes a salad and one side. I went with the entree but wished I'd just done the appetizer and then had a dessert. The food was good but the service wasn't great. It was very busy, so that may have been part of the problem. 3 of us had water and found it almost impossible to get it refilled. We jokingly asked the waiter if there was just one pitcher and he said, "No! there's two." This is a large restaruant-get some more water pitchers. There was no kids menu to order from, so my nephew just ate the bread. It was very loud the night we went making it difficult to have a conversation with anyone except for who was sitting right next to you. It was also dark, like I thought I might trip over something when finding my way to my seat. It was an ok dining experience but a little spendy. read more

This is one of my top 5 seafood places in Evansville i love going here awesome service, people and food some of the best appetizer's i have had my favorite are the bang bang shrimp and ahi tuna they are wonderful my favorite dish is the bang bang tacos with a side of there garlic mash potato's i suggest this to any one that does not know where to go and likes seafood its and evansville must read more

Bonefish Grill - Seafood Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

food was ok for the most part. But service was terrible! We were a party of 13. the server broke us up into to parties...told us to choose our seat and not move around, kinda of under why but really didn't matter they still didn't know who ordered what. He took Table 1 order then table 2 ( mind you we are 1 party) first part of the party got served the dinner at least 20 minutes before party 2. it Took at least 30 minutes to get our checks after having to ask for them! just for them to be incorrect and had to be refigured. Reservations was for 4:45 didn't get to get out until 7:30 Over 2 3/4 hours for our dinner experience.... not much of a experience if you ask me....... I will not go back !!!!!! They need to find a new Position for the older gentleman who served us...... read more

Came here for take out several times while in the area. ordered the tilapia imperial and bang bang shrimp. Im not really into chains but the food and service was great here. read more

Casey our waitress was wonderful! She explained in detail all the specials for the evening and gave her recommended choice which was the pecan crusted trout which was very good but my hubby's Saigon scallops and shrimp was the winner for the night... OUTSTANDING!! read more

In town for business and I must admit that I was shocked to hear that a Bonefish existed in this corner of the world. Seabass? I'd order again. Mango salsa? Can't say it enhanced or took away from the flavor of the fish. Caesar salad? average. Service? No complaints! Atmosphere? It's okay. Nothing special. I put Bonefish in the same group as other small chains like PF Changs. Not quite like local places, but you always know what to expect and the food is always good. Well worth trying if you are in the area. read more

A favorite and "go to" restaurant. The seasonal martinis are fresh and light. The food is consistent. It is a great place to order fish or vegetables. Their specials are normally very good too. Try the pork chop, it is one of my favorites. Bang bang shrimp, yum. Calimari, usually a yum, the sauce is the best part. read more

We enjoyed a delicious meal for our anniversary at Bonefish. We especially loved the lobster and crab cakes. Our server, Brad, was excellent. He patiently answered all of our questions and provided outstanding service!! We will definitely be back soon!! Thanks for making our anniversary special read more

The place was really disappointing. The reviews make it sound good but there wasn't very many options on the menu. I would rather go to red lobster. read more

Staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered a bowl of corn and lump crab soup and spicy tuna bowl. The soup was excellent! The only problem was that it was in a super wide and shallow dish... IE there was not very much of it. I would think it was only about 1-cup worth of soup in that "bowl". The spicy tuna bowl was ok. The seasame coating on the outside of the tuna needed a little more searing as it seemed a little raw tasting. The sriracha & thai chili sauce that was provided with the tuna was strange. It just didn't seem to go well with the fish. Might I suggest a wasabi aioli? Decent atmosphere, though at about 6:30 (on a weekday), it got real busy really fast! read more

I'll have to give it 4 stars, but to break it down, that's because I'd give it 5 stars for food and 3 stars for ambiance/service. My family likes to hit up this place for small special occasions. Most recently I went with 6 other people in the evening. Things started out poorly, a reservation had been made somewhat far in advance, but when we called to confirm it a couple days before, they had no record of it. Luckily they had no problem fitting us in though. I like the restaurant, but have found that they keep it a little too dark in there - it may be cozy for couple, but if you come in with older adults they're gonna complain they can't see the menus haha. It also can get quite loud in there - they keep the music on loud, and when the place is busy the voice levels build and build which can make conversation difficult. Out waiter wasn't exactly the best, and his timing was all off. He wanted to talk us through the specials even though our entire party hadn't arrived yet, and later when we told him we needed another minute to decided, he'd disappear for ages. There was also other small issues, like our starters coming out without utensils to serve them and having trouble flagging down someone. Later he promised us bread, brought out the plates and made us olive oil dip even, and mentioned the bread was in the oven. We it didn't appear until much later when our entrees arrived. For starters we had the calamari and bang bang shrimp. The calamari was quite tasty and had a good texture. The bang bang shrimp were slightly spicy, but tasted great I had a special, the swordfish with spinach and gorgonzola cheese - it was also supposed to have bacon on it, but I skipped that. It was DELICIOUS. At the end of the evening it took forever to get our bill and get out of there. Perhaps our waiter was just having a bad night? The food was worth it though. read more

Still a very good place. I simply had a salad this time and a Manhattan - both were pretty good. The bread was yummy and couldn't keep my hands off of it. love the pest in the oil. read more

Okay for a chain...wish they had more of a variety of food & wine

Bonefish is a chain and chains strive to be exactly the same no matter where you go so I think they do a good job here. I like the food and the service is good. Go for the Bang Bang Shrimp and Lily's Chicken if you know what's good for ya read more

Our first visit to Bonefish Grill. Food was good. Service was ok. Dining room was much too warm, As was the water served. And no ice was offered or given. We waited an hour for our food, that's about 20 to 30 minutes too long in our opinion. Bread and pesto dip served right away was delicious and kept us from getting too hangry. A little apology from the waitress for our long wait would have been nice. But instead we felt a chill from her when we asked her to check on our order. Hence, a slightly smaller tip than we usually give. All in all it was ok, but probably wont return anytime soon. read more

Without repeating what has been said.....I'll talk a little more about the booze situation. The cocktails at this Bonefish are mixed rather well. I like a particularly unpopular drink (the Gibson, a gin martini with cocktail onions instead of olives). I sometimes like to gage the quality of the bartender by this drink (not all the time). I ordered one and the bar did not ask me for clarification. They got it right, so kudos to them. They did loose a point because they did not carry rye whiskey for my Manhattan. Regardless, they mixed a good drink. They don't have a bad wine selection, mostly California stuff, with the exception of a Malbec and a couple Italian varieties. I did hear that they are now offering a new beer (other than the main industrial players: bush and bud). This would be a step in the right direction and would boost their rating. If I check it out, I will update. They are a little expensive, I think most drinks run you between $5-12. The beer and wine seem a little over priced. However, they do use quality liqueur. Overall, it is a nice place to go for just cocktails. read more

Bonefish Grill - Bang Bang is the Best! - Seafood Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

The fish and shrimp are good, they also have cherry coke so that is great. 9.5/10 would eat again

Food and service are decent - but apparently no face mask enforcement with respect to diners walking around. There needs to be 100% compliance if Bonefish wants my business. We're in a pandemic. read more

Me and my mother ate at this location last night and the food was AMAZING! We started off with an appetizer of bacon wrapped scallops (100/100 - I could eat a tub full), Cesar salad, and bread that they bring to the table. When we received our food, the portions looked smaller than what I was expecting. I ordered the sirloin and crab cake with garlic whipped potatoes and French green beans. My mother ordered the tilapia imperial with jasmine rice and sautéed spinach. While I said that the portions were small, I was so full after eating! The meat was amazing and the crab cake was divine! I ordered a beer on draft and a Hawaiian martini- which is DELICIOUS. I could live off of them! We ordered a vanilla cream brûlée and a strawberry shortcake to go. The CB was good for me never having one before, but the SSC was a sweet biscuit and a bowl of strawberries. Mom wasn't impressed. Brad was our waiter and he was great, too! read more

Was in Evansville for a college visit, which finished around 2:30 pm and we were starved. So we were looking for a good meal. We had heard good things about The Bonefish Grill, but have never eaten there, what a great find. We were a bit worried because it was between lunch and dinner. The service was excellent and our meals came out promptly. We had the Wagyu Beef Ginger Potstickers as an appetizer. The Fish and Chips from the lunch menu, the Tilapia Imperial and the Shrimp Pad Thai from the dinner menu, which were very good. Good size portions, some of which we took home in a box. Overall we had an excellent meal with very good service. read more

We had the best meal here tonight. Great drinks, excellent food ,and excellent service. Can not wait to come back.

Visted on a Wednesday which much to my surprise and delete, it Bang Bang! Shrimp special night. They were 6 opposed to the regular 9. The shrimp were delicious as usual. I had the small wood fire grilled Atlantic salmon with the lemon butter sauce and it was cooked to perfection. The sauce paired well with the fish as well as with a side of the garlic whipped mashed potatoes. I highly recommend. read more

Big disappointment. Our party of 2 stopped in for a late lunch. They weren't busy at all. There were only 3 or 4 tables with other patrons. Service was incredibly SLOW, lackluster and unenthusiastic. Despite an almost empty dining room, it took almost 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. No apology offered, just a bad attitude. The "wagyu" beef hamburger was very dry and nothing special. The chicken "terriyaki" was a joke. It had NO terriyaki! After delivering our food, we only saw our waitress once throughout the course of our meal and that was not to check on us or refill our drinks, rather she plopped down our check and tried to whisk our plates away before we were even done eating. Overall, we expected better from Bonefish Grill. We have many great dining choices in Evansville and in the future we won't waste our time or our money at Bonefish Grill. read more

The best seafood in Evansville. A terrific bar and drink menu, and really fun atmosphere and environment. Dress code is casual. The filet is a terrific cut of meat, and never disappoints. Also, don't visit without ordering the Bang-Bang Shrimp appetizer! read more

I have only been in there once that I remember, and was pleased by the hospitality and great service that they provide. This is a fairly fancy restaurant, and I am surely okay with that. read more

Refused to accept reservation for table of 12 5pm Saturday night 3 days in advance. No reason given just "we can't take your reservations ".

Bonefish never disappoints. I always enjoy eating here. The bar selection is great too.

We order the salmon for lunch quite often. It is always very hit or miss. Not sure if they get rid of the old salmon at lunch, but today the fish almost inedible. Wish they could more consistent read more

My husband and I made reservations here for dinner and this was the only place that we would be able to go on our actual anniversary as we decided to celebrate in Las Vegas the following weekend. On their site it asks if you are there for an occasion and the anniversary box was selected. Upon arrival the host said Happy Anniversary, which was nice. However, we were then seated at a row of communal tables instead of our own private table away from anyone. A party of four was seated inches away from us and another couple on the other side, so needless to say, we had absolutely no privacy and were not really able to enjoy each other's company. The food was great as always. I especially loved the brussel sprouts, but I will find somewhere else to go on my next anniversary. read more

Wish I could eat here every weekend! The food and service are the best!!! They have an excellent bar too!
