Ordered the ahi tuna steak as take-out! Service was very good and the tuna steak was definitely a great choice! I highly recommend it. read more

Bonefish Grill - Yummy Ahi tuna steak - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

** Delayed review of a visit in late October ** First trip to the Bonefish Grill and my expectations were high because of reviews; food portions and taste appeared to satisfy. Upon entering this Frederick, MD location, I didn't feel a warm welcome and was taken to my table by a rude girl. Maybe not her day, but a first impression of professionalism in customer service is key for me when entering an establishment. My waitress was, for the most part, courteous. I must admit, I thought this waitress was a diamond in the rough. Friendly, and very easy on the eyes! She was busy with many tables, although I'm confident her workload was manageable; it wasn't busy. I throw "for the most part" in there because her attitude became inconsistent halfway through my meal. My ice tea was always topped off, last two times sloppily poured causing overflow due to the mass amount of ice. Her checking in on how my meal became rushed. I ordered the Rainbow Trout and was offered a larger portion. Larger portion? Not so much! Food was outstanding, but I left really hungry. Thankfully I was on travel, with per diem, because the meal was not worth the price! In addition, there was a table close by that was being prepared for a larger group, which became annoying. This location has great reviews, as does the restaurant as a whole. Off-night, perhaps. I would give Bonefish Grill another chance as the food was outstanding. I will do so elsewhere, however. At this time, I cannot rate higher than 3-stars due to some customer service issues experienced above, and leaving hungry. I do hope my experience and star-rate can change for the better. read more

You can't just add lemon juice to seafood and call it ceviche. Ceviche is supposed to be raw, fresh, simple and delicious- It was none of those. Wagyu beef dumplings were sloppy and salty. Stuffed tilapia was ok. Bartender was friendly enough. Price is cheap. Food came out almost too quickly. read more

Great food and great service We did not have to wait for service and the waitress was very courteous and gave perfect service. Will become a regular read more

Bonefish is an under-visited but usually pleasant experience for us. Their bread and pesto oil is good and we almost always pair it with bang bang shrimp to start. Tonight we ordered a Gnocchi/lobster dish and a mahi mahi imperial dish both from the specials menu. Both were good. I also tried a smoked old fashion that was a bit theatrical but still good. read more

As usual the bang bang shrimp was nothing short of scrumptuous!! I ordered a meal (cant remember the name) that was a combination of fried rice, mango salsa and grilled chicken. The fried rice and mango salsa were good but the grilled chicken left much to be desired. It was ridiculously dry. Since there was no sauce in the dish, it was hard to get past that. Had they not overcooked the chicken, the dish would have been great and this review would have been 5 stars. I was a bit disappointed but lets hope that they redeem themselves the next time I decide to dine there. read more

despite showing up 15+ min too late for my reservation and them canceling it in the system, they did right by placing me ahead of a 20-minute wait. I sat next to another couple at a high table and since I was dining alone it made for some conversation at the dinner table. Michael C was my server and I needed or wanted for nothing. The manager came by twice to make sure all was perfect. I had one of the specials and restaurant favorites... the Imperial Talapia dish stuffed with baby shrimp a side of spaghetti squash and for dessert (which I could have shared with 3 other people) a huge wedge of the Coconut Pie. read more

Great ambience. Went with friends, and had a pleasant time. Great customer service. The food was good. Nothing spectacular. I loved their bread and specialty cocktails. The Moscow mule was delicious! Wasn't a fan of their truffle mac n cheese - the noodles were too soft and it was bland in taste. read more

Came in tonight for dinner with friends naim was a great server and didn't miss a beat! Naim made sure everyone had what they wanted and was hilarious. I actually enjoyed his service and the food so much I learned to read and write just to write this review(lol not really but I would have if needed to write this) !! Good job naim read more

This place was pretty good. We had reservations, so the minute we arrived at the restaurant, we were seated...even though there was a line waiting. They were very friendly and accommodating. Once we sat down, the waiter gave us time and came to the table for our drinks. We ordered food and it was very good. I wasn't as hungry, but good thing because I didn't get overwhelmed with food. They don't give you a lot, but it's not like you need a lot. The food is good and it's best to taste it then to demolish it. On the flip side , I like to demolish food that tastes great...lol. I received a free appetizer card because it was my birthday. read more

We have eaten here many times, pre-covid. Today we used the curbside option for the first time to pick up an assortment of starters for lunch. We got the ahi tuna poke, the beef and ginger potstickers, the imperial dip and the bang bang shrimp. Three out of four things we've never ordered before. We were there to pick up at the scheduled time and the server came out within minutes with our order. A five-minute drive and we were home and ready for lunch. From there it went down hill. Opening the to-go containers revealed a complete mess. It looked like someone literally threw the food into the containers from a distance. Absolutely no care in the presentation at all. The potstickers were thin, limp, soggy and cold. They had to go into a pan to reheat and attempt to crisp them up. Even after that, the flavor was pretty lackluster. The imperial dip was barely warm and was just slopped into one corner of the container. It tasted ok once we heated it up a bit. It did come with a generous helping of chips to scoop it up with. The poke had lots of tuna but the delicate flavor was completely overwhelmed by amount of red onion in the dish. The bang bang shrimp were ok but definitely not what we have had when dining in the restaurant. I'm sure if we'd been in-house our dishes would have been hot and definitely would have looked better. I imagine we will return to dine here in person again at some point but I don't think we'll be doing curbside again. read more

Ok so this is not the first time I got food from there. The first time was amazing .food great an food presentation was great for a takeout order. I always order 2 crab cakes with mash and fries... on the 24 of December 2020 I called to place my favourite order to go. When I got back to my hotel room to eat. the crab cakes smelled spoiled and tasted spoiled to the point where I was starting to feel sick..the mash looked like it was the last out of the pan so they just slap on on there. I call an ask to speak to the manager the hostess put me on to someone, told that person that happened now that person telling me to hold on and put me on with someone else, told them my issue an that someone else told me to hold on then put me on with the manager finally... told them my issue for the 3rd- 4th time. The manager said if I rush back he can give me some fresh food.. rush back!?? Yes cause we closing .. or I can just refund you the money back... yes please go ahead and do a refund JUST for the crab cakes cause my wife is eating her food and has no problem with it. It's just mines. Ok sir I will go ahead and do that right away.. it's now jan 4 2021 an I haven't seen a refund in my account.... I'll just have to pull up for my money. read more

We've been to this restaurant many times. They are pretty good for a chain, something we tend to avoid. We have never been disappointed both with food and service. Now that we are staying at home because of the pandemic, we have picked up food twice. To our surprise the quality is still great, and the food got home in very good shape. Hope they make it. read more

Here in Frederick on Travel for work. I decided to check outthe Bonefish. My wife and I go to the one near our home several times a year. If you like the cuisine at Bonefish, it is much the same as about anywhere else. They have grilled fish and seafood specialties. The quality is quite good. As far as service, my experience at this particular Bonefish grill was about what i expected. I went in on a week night around 6 pm and got seated right away and enjoyed my dinner with pleasant staff and timely service. read more

Happy to report that the service and food quality were better. I had a series of bad experiences at this particular Bone Fish about 18 months ago. I quit going all together and would not make the recommendation. I had a friend who really wanted to go so we decided to give it another shot last week. It was much better and appeared that the food quality and service were restored. Still a little pricey for what it is, but one of the better chain restaurant choices in a pinch. read more

Amazing martinis, and i don't think I'll ever get tired of bang bang shrimp. I have obsessively tried to find one of those secret restaurant recipe cookbooks that tell you how to make some kind of approximation of bang bang shrimp and never even gotten CLOSE. Great drinks and always friendly staff. read more

Had dinner there earlier this evening and it was awesome as always! Perfect time to eat for Wednesdays are Bang Bang Shrimp half off day! $6 dollar delicious appetizer always works. As usual, atmosphere is perfect, friendly waiter and hostesses. The meal eaten were Grilled Tilapias and chicken tenders for the boy. Myself, the mrs, and our eldest daughter all had grilled tilapia. Cooked excellently and very flavorful. Jasmine rice, garlic whipped potatoes, and green beans !!! Definitely try this place whenever or even wherever there is one, you will not regret it!! A+++++ all the way!! read more

Love this place, gets pretty packed on Friday and Saturday nights so be sure to make reservations ahead. My Faves: -Cucumber Collins, refreshing drink -Jumbo Coconut Shrimp -Mussels Josephine -Lily's Chicken -Fish Tacos -Wedge Salad Pretty much everything!! Can't go wrong, except for dessert, wasn't too impressed. read more

This was our first time here. We had made a reservation for 5:30 but didn't get seated until 6:05. Normally it's no big deal but I had my 16 month old grandson and he doesn't like to wait if you know what I mean. The manager was fantastic, she pre ordered food and helped us with our drinks. The food was outstanding and the service was 5 star. I will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Best bonefish ever! Service and food is always incredible. Try a tropic heat martini and sirloin crab cake dinner!

Amazing food, always love going to this place. The bang bang shrimp is a must when eating here. Thy have a bar available and the booths are nice and big. The table cloth is paper, and you can be given crayons for small kids to draw on. I got the salmon with pan Asian sauce and crab fried rice and I'm pleasantly surprised as always. Only complaint is how long it took to get the food and the waiter took a long time to visit our table each time. Overall it took almost 2 hours to complete our visit. Love our experience here each time. read more

Over the years we've noticed that the quality of the food is going down hill. And we've been disappointed more than impresses over the past year....Interesting though, the decor is improving with white table cloths and the customer service is always very good. It's a shame the food is not equally as good. In particular the Mahi Mahi with crab I recently ordered was very disappointing at approximately $25. The fish was dry and tasteless topped with a few crumbles of crab also flavorless and dry. I will say that the wait staff is very good and the manager is always present and engaged with his customers. They always ask if you enjoyed your meal, and if you have any complaints they are quick to rectify the situation. would not recommend this restaurant overall it's not worth the prices. read more

Service was super friendly, but the drinks didn't have enough alcohol and the food was so sweet--and I'm not talking about dessert. We ordered from the pre-fixe menu, but I wish we had just gone elsewhere. It wasn't worth the $$$. read more

I have no idea what happened to Bonefish but its happened to all of them. Not to long ago I relished going for dinner but several Bonefish's both in MD and VA the food has slipped They keep raving about their "New Menu" but in all honesty its not that good Not planning to go back anytime soon read more

Bang bang shrimp - need I say more? They are addicting! Staff always awesome :) Apparently need to say more or Yelp isn't happy :) Bang bang shrimp is addictive and their bisque is very tasty. Like eating outside, but road noise can be distracting. read more

I hadn't been to Bonefish in a number of years until this week. It has changed a lot since it originally opened the food has gone a bit downhill. They used to have these wonderful garnishes (side dish) they changed monthly that were absolutely delicious (Edamame Succotash, chickpeas with wilted greens, spaghetti squash) all of which have been removed and replaced with boring options like rice, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli. They have a few nicer sides, but they come at an additional cost. They even removed their best complimentary side (au gratin potatoes). We ordered the crab and corn chowder, one of my favorites and it tasted fine except it was full of crab shells. With every bite I had to remove shells from my mouth to ensure I didn't bite down or swallow them. The crab cakes had a bit of the same problem but not as bad as the chowder. The crab cakes were considerable smaller than the last time I had them, but the taste was still good. My husband had the fish tacos, and they were lacking flavor and fish. The bang bang shrimp was still very good but all in all I don't think I will be going back. For $50.00 plus it was just a very ok meal. It's a shame I used to eat here once a week but that Bonefish Grill doesn't exist any longer. read more

Great service! The food came out fast and tasted fresh! The bang bang shrimp was good and the crab cakes were delicious. I definitely will be back. Oh I also enjoyed the martini Hawaiian tini. It was super sweet but yummy. I wish it had more alcohol but I'll try something new next time. It's a great spot definitely recommend! read more

Food was delicious but the hostess looked at me like I wasn't a human being. The hostess didn't greet us she just stared. I basically had to tell the hostess I was a customer. Next my wife's order was messed up. Her order didn't get put in correctly so I had my entree and all she had was a salad. The manager came to our table and asked how everything was and we told her what happened. The manager didn't charge for my wife's food and gave us free desserts. The brussel sprouts are amazing! The Imperial dip is very good. I would have given 4 stars if it weren't for the hostess. read more

Had brunch here... it was great. Unlimited mimosas and sangria, just wonderful and right up my alley. This is not my first time here, nor will it be my last. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed our meals and attentive staff. read more

I have been to Bonefish in Frederick a bazillion times by now. As chains go, this is one of the best for food quality, service, and consistency. We have only had one nightmare out of the bazillion times so I will write that off and not go into it (but they did make efforts to make things right). They offer happy hour prices on drinks and you can occasionally get a free bang bang shrimp from an online survey. If you join their online club, you can get gift cards for special occasions. This is a chain but performs well and is a great option for Frederick dining considering the lack of direct local competition. Definitely do call ahead seating on Thursday - Sunday. Yums: + Martinis- I get the $5 Svedka martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives. Svedka is middle shelf vodka and you cant beat that for 5 bills. I love their blue cheese stuffed olives. They are extra but totally worth it. + Appetizers: All are good; Great are the bang bang shrimp, calamari, mussels and ahi tuna. I tend to get apps here for my dinner because they are plenty and delicious. The mussels make a great entree with a side caesar. + Filet Mignon is always tender and i dont know of chain at this level with better Filet. Add the gorgonzola butter + Teriyaki Salmon, Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout + Add the Lilly's topping from the Chicken entree and put it on the Grouper instead (or any other like fish) + Au Gratin potatoes, green beans, caesar + add crab cakes a la carte + the bread before is hot and homemade + the flourless macadamia nut brownie with ice cream and raspberry sauce is delicious and reminds us of desserts from our honeymoon in Hawaii + if you are not happy with something, they will make it right + professional service Letdowns: - Long waits to be seated and a very crowded bar on Thurs- Sun nights. - martinis are poured inconsistently as 6 or 8 oz. depending on the bartender Pricing: moderate to spendy Atmosphere: simple, trendy Dress: business Casual, jeans and nice shirt Service: professional, polite Food: A- Parking: Ample and Free Wait: Monday-Wednesday usually none, Thursday-Sunday can be 65+ minutes, which is why i would suggest call ahead Overall Grade: A- read more

12.90 for chicken marsala and 2 sides? I'll take it. The bang bang shrimp is kind of a signature here so you should try it, even though I wasn't crazy about it. The price and the quality of food makes this a classy choice for an affordable dinner out. gets realll crowded during dinner rush so maybe sneak in early, or make a reservation. read more

5 stars! We always get excellent service and the food is fantastic!

Went here for Valentine's Day. It was very crowded and even though we had reservations we didn't get sat for over an hour. Not a huge deal to me but some people were very angry. One lady threw her table pager at the manager. Food was good but I would suggest taking fewer or no reservations next year. People assume if they have a reservation they get it and shouldn't need to wait. read more

Normally I can't dine here because of the price, but I happened to have a $25 gift card and 15% off coupon so I was in!! Whenever you come here, you have to start with the bang bang shrimp, it is THE BEST shrimp appetizer I have ever had. The flavoring is so rich, creamy and delicious. Luckily I also came on a Tuesday when they have a whole lobster special menu, so I decided to indulge and get a two lobster tail dinner. I am glad I did too since the tails are a little small. Alongside that I got the white truffle macaroni. I'm glad the cheese did not completely take over the noodles too, the lobster was rich enough for me. Overall I have never been disappointed coming to this location or the one in Gaithersburg. They offer great service and fantastic food and a lovely intimate atmosphere. I will come here any opportunity I get! read more

When you travel all the time for work big chain restaurants are a double edged sword. You know what you can expect, and you know what to expect. Foodies with any adventurous spirit in them at all tend to avoid chains. Bland, expensive, and same - o same - o are usually my gripes for them. I had heard this place was good, yet seeing them all over the country I knew they are a shined up Red Lobster so I haven't gone out of my way to dine there. However, my buddy's boss wanted to eat there so.... Here we go. We got there and it was busy. Boss was already seated in the bar area. Server was extremely enthusiastic and chatty. First glance at the menu and I have to say, I was impressed. Nice selection, good variety of appetizers, what was coming out of the kitchen looked great (Not much smell like Franklins but in a seafood joint sometimes that is a good thing :) Ordered a martini which had kettle one olive infused vodka with blue cheese olives in it. It was... mostly good. Tasted more like olive juice than vodka but maybe that's how some want it. The cheese stuffed olives were very good. Prices for the liquor, beer, and wine were high in my opinion. Boss paid $5.50 for a bottle of Coors Light and Glass of Kim Crawford cost more than a bottle at the store (I go for the 2/3 rule which I made up as fair. $12 bottle of wine at store = $8 - $10 glasses... not $14 like here). Server pumped the lobster roll extremely high. So high, in fact, the boss and my buddy changed their order and went with it. He kept saying you had to be really hungry to eat it. I, at the last second, decided not to go with the lobster roll and got one of the fish specials. "Moonfish" with crabmeat and a sauce for $19 or only a couple more than the lobster roll sounded like a great deal. Plus, I wasn't super hungry so it made sense. Then came the wait. Probably 30 minutes before we got our food. Naturally, the lobster roll was tiny (6" or so) with a huge thing of fries. I am no expert on lobster rolls, but I envisioned giant hunks of lobster meat sticking out of a warm buttered bun. This, on the other hand, was shredded lobster meat hidden with lettuce inside a warm roll. The boss (from Canada mind you) said, "This is really just inconsequential. I thought it was going to be good and there is nothing to it really. I have eaten it all and I am still hungry." Which I am pretty sure is Canadian for, "This &#$*#@# SUCKS!" My plate was good. Fish was cooked right, sauce and crabmeat was an excellent addition, and asparagus was tasty. Problem I had was portion size. 4 oz of fish and a 6 pieces of asparagus tips for $19 didn't end up being near the deal I thought I was getting. Prices overall for this place are high for what you get. Then, as if on queue the server disappears. 15 minutes after everyone finished we finally get the bill. 18 minutes later they run the credit cards. Maybe he was chatting up all of his other tables. Or maybe the reason the place was so crowded was no one could pay and leave. Either way the work conversation was good enough we didn't care. Nitpicky stuff - A vodka martini... dirty or not, infused or not, should not be green. $2 per oyster for only bar patrons is nothing special. Don't act like it is. Overall - Meh. Food was good to over rated (see lobster roll), Service was typical at a chain, Prices were high. Same - O, Same - O without the cheesy biscuits. read more

I have been to Bonefish Grills all over the country and many times in the past. This lower end review is only because of the meal I just had. If you are a New Englander like me, it would be hard to resist trying the "New England Classic" lobster salad. But trust me resist the urge to try it here unless you think it is a good value to get about an ounce of lobster dry on a once- warm toasted bun with about ten French fries and some weird cole slaw with broccoli. No mayo at all on the "salad". It was good cold lobster but sadly not a New England Classic" read more

Bonefish is usually our go to place for a better than average night out however tonight 10/1 was a HUDGE disappointment! Maybe because we got there early 4:30 pm and they were not busy yet?!? We ordered right away and our appetizers appeared immediately. We always get bang bang shrimp & ahi tuna for appetizers. Tonight the tuna was brown and the ginger & wasabi looked like they had been sitting out awhile. Not one to usually complain we brought it to the attention of our server. A manager arrived at our table & apologized and offered a replacement appetizer. We were not halfway finished with appetizers and drinks and our meals appeared. The entrees were good but the sides were sub par! Mashed potatoes & augratain potatoes were dry & green beans & broccoli mushy. What I would expect out of a dinner not a restaurant that charges $20-30 a plate. read more

Will come back here just for the bang bang shrimp! I am hooked. The fish was good, but a bit over buttered/greasy. The sides were also excellent. Felt a bit too much like a chain restaurant, and had overpriced drinks. Kind of like a red lobster, but with good food. read more

Had the cobia with Brussels sprouts. As usual, Bonefish was delicious ! The. Ang bang shrimp was scrumptious as well!

i took a party of 11 here last night and was disappointed . SEveral of us got the Chilean Sea Bass. Portions were small and greasy. The kitchen was slow and the bread took forever. The waitresses were a little green and spent much of their time topping off the water glasses but we came to eat not drink. I 've been twice before and have been happy but after after a $350.00 bill and marginal food and service they have become too institutionalized and the its not special anymore. There are too many other choices out there. i will not be going back. read more
