We were given a gift certificate for Bonefish about 6 months ago, and we finally made it. We ended up ordered the special for two, which was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much food and a great deal. For 49$ you get the bang bang shrimp which is great, two salads, three pieces of fish, two shrimp, two scallops, veggies, rice, side of au gratin potatoes, and lots of sauces. The best part was the shrimp apps and the scallops and shrimp in the main dish with the asian sauce and blackened seasoning. The fish were all decent, but if we came again we would just order the shrimp. The wine was not great (house cab), but service was really quick and friendly. read more

I'm not usually a fan of chain restaurants but the Bonefish Grill is an exception. The appetizers are more imaginative than most, the Bang-bang shrimp is delicious and I love the mussels, which I was reluctant to try because they're in a white sauce. They serve bread right out of the oven with a pesto dip. Yum! My favorite entree was the parm crusted trout until they came up with lobster stuffed shrimp! Delicious. I had it with crab fried rice, also delicious. I'm not a big fan of dessert but they make these little donuts that come with chocolate or caramel sauce. They're so good! Our server, Darshel, was terrific. read more

This location was the 2nd one I've been too & sad to say it still didn't impress me much. Couple friends and myself did an after work dinner here to catch up & while our conversation was great, the food and service were okay. Server was nice and patient, didn't check in on us as often as she should. They give shot glass sizes of water so we needed refills constantly. We got the their calamari as an appetizer, which was pretty good especially because of the tangy sauce that came with it. For an entree my friend and I both got the burger (tried to switch things up since last time I came I had fish). The burger was good, not amazing, but good. Don't think I'll ever go out of my way to a Bonefish, far better places to check out. read more

Every time I go the service is immaculate. The servers are very sweet and timely. I've even been on a late night before closing and my food came out great, I wasn't rushed, it was an unbelievable experience. I love the food. The portions match the prices and that grill taste is the best. I feel like the menu is well put together and you're definitely going to get your moneys worth. Go here! read more

Staff members are quite pleasent,always good atmosphere...me & my partner always like the bang bang shrimp!

The restaurant is nice and the food is good. Prices reasonable. Service is terrible. They basically got everything wrong. Didn't clear or take anything away. Took forever to get the check. Not stuffed normally post a bad review for, but it was just too slow and the waitresses were just hanging out in the kitchen and not because it was slow, every table was filled. Just not good all around. read more

This particular location is just ok. Have been here twice and both times were disappointing. Food was undercooked on both occasions and instead of preparing new dishes, they put out food back and cooked it more which lead to it being dried out. Water was difficult to get refilled. Servers appeared to just be going through the motions. read more

I've been going to Bonefish Grill for approximately 8 years. This has been my favorite place for good food and service. I mostly sit at the bar and will get a table if I want something more intimate. The food does not disappoint, the fresh bread with the side of pesto and olive oil is always delish. I remember when saucy shrimp was on the menu but they took it off (you can still request the kitchen make it if you ask). There are specials based on the day of the week but my favorite is Bang Bang Wednesday - Bang Bang Shrimp is $6 all day! My sometimes weekly place to frequent!! read more

This was honestly my first time at a bonefish grill establishment. I walked it, and instantly felt comfortable. We were seated right away. Right away our waitress brought four glasses (more like large shot glasses) or water. She brought out some bread with olive oil and herbs, and it tasted super good! We started with an appetizer of fried calamari, and it was super yummy. I was a fan of both of the sauces. For my main meal I got myself a hamburger. It was cooked to perfection and had avocado. They also have happy hour drinks until 7pm. I really enjoyed my time at this location. My only negative is the fact that it's a little pricey considering what the food is, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Recommend! read more

I really like this place. I come here for their event specials. They serve a really nice White Cosmo with cranberries. The bar bites are pretty nice and I love the Bang Bang shrimp. The waitstaff are really nice. I'm hoping they'd bring more their menu. read more

Service is very slow. I went on Monday, there was not a lot of people but I guess there was not enough staff working. Food was was ok and in my opinion overpriced for the area. I had tuna salad which had small 5 pieces of tuna and 4 pieces of mango, dressing was too sweet (did not like it at all). Butternut squash soup was light and reasonably sweet (really liked it) and flat bread was good as well. read more

Came here in the mode for fish and wanted to try something new. A new fish would have made me happy. The place interior is very attractive, dim, lots of earth tones. The establishment was PACKED on a Sat. night, our waitress seemed like she had a long evening but was pleasant. Their specials menu caught my eye so from it I ordered the Turbot my side and app. The waitress came back 5 mins later and told me that fish was sold out for the night. Reluctantly, I looked for another exotic fish. I choose to go with the Opah "Moonfish" which whose meat resembled the swordfish. 5min later the manager came over to tell me they were out of the Opah and felt terrible that I ordered two items in a row that was sold out. (Why wouldn't the waitress know whats available or not available? Why let your customers go through the headache of picking a sold out fish) I laughed it off and teased the waitress by asking why she hates me so much. Well I ended up getting a SeaBass which was tasty. Unfortunately I couldn't get a fish I never experienced but the kind manager attempted to make up for their mistake by taking off my drink and appetizer. I appreciated their generosity. A Lesson for Bonefish: If you will notify your staff what is available then Bonefish wouldn't lose money by giving away free food and I wouldn't have lost 20 mins choosing a fish. read more

Came with a group of friends. I have never been to this chain before. I ordered the Pecan Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout. I didn't love it but it's not bad. I heard great things about the Chilean Sea Bass. It tasted really good with the mango salsa. We also shared the Bang Bang Shrimp, which tasted really good with the salad too. I had the spirit-free Specialty Fresh Blackberry Smash. It was so good!!! lemon, blackberries, club soda and some other things and it was sweet and refreshing. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't drink alcohol! read more

It's a casual, family dining, chain restaurant.....so I have certainly never expected the moon & the stars. Been coming here for years....used to like it but the last few times have not been a good experience at all, irrespective of this location or the one in Secaucus. Cocktails= way too sweet, syrupy & weak Food= average at best Service= has been fluctuating between clumsy, inattentive, and at times pushy/hovering Creme Brulee.....during the most recent (and last meal) here.....we decided to share a creme brulee for dessert. It was VANILLA CUSTARD glazed with caramelized sugar. I mean.....really?????? Do you honestly think your customers don't know the difference? Maybe many don't, but we just thought it was pretty pathetic. Proper creme brulee prep takes a long time, and texture is TOTALLY different. This.....was a quick fix! Did they lose the recipe? Needless to say, not coming back. read more

Bonefish, a fairly consistent go to with enough varied options to suffice. Although I will say I make better sauteed spinach at home, que pena Bonefish. Also, why must the thai and bang bang shrimp apps be breaded, they should offer a nonbreaded option as well for those of us that want to be somewhat healthy despite the sweet sugary sauce on them ;) But the best thing about bone fish in my opinion is the bar area, and the fact that they always have some kind of drink special, albeit, mostly stuff that the ladies are into, but still, effort counts. At this particular location, the blonde bartender was very helpful to me and saved me half the cost of a beverage I was considering, simply in how I ordered it. Tip reflected the appreciation, you just don't find that everyday. read more

Terible service bad food and the prices are over the limits. we asked for napkins and we got them 15 minutes later. Overall nice looks and the bread is 10/10 read more

I decided to try this place as I'd never been here yet passed it many times. Upon entering I was told there was a 40 minute wait but I could sit myself at the bar or the community table. While I felt awkward about the latter choice given how close I would be sitting to other ppl both next to me and across, one of the staff noted a free spot and then convinced me to it. I was greeted by a waiter who was friendly and witty but at least to me came off generic, and not genuine. I told him it was a tie between the monkfish and the chilean sea bass. Not surprisingly he recommended the more expensive sea bass and suggested a tomato spinach topping, and I ended up obliging. It was a seemingly long wait and when I finally received and feasted on my meal, I found it to be too buttery and thick. It didn't taste bad but it wasn't very good either. I was hit with another surprise when I got the bill and realized the topping was an extra $4 and I simply didn't hear the waiter mention that. As for the service, the waiter was nice and friendly but as I previously mentioned, I didn't feel like his demeanor towards me was genuine. It was as if he practiced the routine and used a witty joking manner on every customer. That of course is to be expected in such a place especially one that is crowded. My suggestion nonetheless is that this waiter, and the rest of the staff, try to be a little more personal with clientelle and not use a similar approach on everyone. Finally, what is also annoying is how they seem to always suggest the most expensive item on the menu and then in scripted manner entice them for dessert and/or coffee. While the latter is expected, I feel more return customers will be earned if they know that the service is sincere and catered towards their best interest and not scripted and/or coming from the template of shrewd corporates. read more

Bonefish Grill was cool. The brunch was good because there's an option to have unlimited drinks. But there needs to be more of a selection of entrées. Compared to other brunch spots I've been to, Bonefish is lacking. They should have waffles to complement the French toast. I had the California omelet for my meal and it was alright. The bang bang shrimp was the bomb. read more

This review is solely on food. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I really don't think they even took the time to season it...no salt or pepper green beans taste as if they boiled them in water and threw them on the plate. Stay away from this place food is trash! Drinks are great tho. read more

The food was great but they messed up on the billed amount real bad!!!!! I was there with my friend last week for dinner. We split our final amount and went home happy. After couple of days, my friend called me said that his CC transaction is showing a charge which is almost double the final amount of his split share. He then called the restaurant and mentioned this issue. The person on the phone said that the server (Christophe) must have charged by mistake the final amount as "TIP" on his slip. They corrected it. But then I checked my CC transaction and found the same issue! How can they mess up TWICE on the same table? I think he was trying to scam us! Which sane person tips a chain restaurant more than 20% (this is not even a fine dine)! The Manager should have caught this exception earlier when filing all the bills! This is ridiculous! read more

Terrible. Worst martini ever. Used to love this place. So sad. I'm so sad this has gone so down hill.

Trisha was our server at the bar and she was great!! Fast, on point and friendly. Met their manager Chris as well and he was very funny & relatable. Will definately come back here food was delicious! On Monday's they have $7 martinis!! read more

I've been to this place on several occasions and depending on the day of the week, can be a pleasant or dreadful experience. If you plan to go on either a Friday or Saturday night without a reservation, be ready for a minimum of a thirty minute wait. If you decide to go on any other night, you can most likely get a table without a wait at all. I enjoy their menu here a lot. They have a large selection of fresh fishes that are grilled to perfection and are served with your choice of four different sauces. To date, I have tried the Mango Salsa and the Chimichurri and the other two choices are the Lemon Butter and Pan Asian. Lemon butter is the traditional sauce for seafood, but the other three are fresh new pairings for me. When ordering, your entree comes with one side of your choice and a chickpea, tomato and spinach combination that is pretty tasty. For an additional fee, you can add a cup of their corn chowder with lump crab that is a pretty standard affair. Every table also gets a small loaf of bread that they are continuously baking all day and is usually fresh from the oven when it reaches your table. The portions here are huge and you never have to worry about going home hungry. However, if by some miracle you do find yourself not completely stuffed. They also have a small offering of desserts. We ordered the Macadamia Brownie which is served a la mode with a raspberry drizzle. Even though it is called a brownie, this dessert more closely resembles a slice of cake. The flavors do come together very nicely, but the brownie itself could be moister. It is a decent establishment for a chain and you will most likely not be disappointed. read more

Nice restaurant, waiters are a lil careless but the food makes up for it. I heart this place because of their bang bang shrimp! It's amazing a must have! read more

They sat us quickly on a Saturday night with a full house but the service other wise was terrible. The waitress didn't come for 15 minutes and we didn't get our bread until after the meal arrived. Besides the service, the food was good. I got the grilled lamb with potatoes and broccoli. The lamb was a 6/10 and the sides were both very good. The bread was at least fresh when it came to the table. It was also pretty cold where we were seated and I needed a jacket. read more

Great service and AMAZING food! I pass this restaurant everyday and never stopped in but I'm glad i did. First off our waitress and her trainee Mel were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, attentive, great sense of humor, just all around a pleasure. We ordered drinks that were perfectly made. As a small group we all got a round of appetizers . Crab dip - delicious Tuna sashimi - fresh and ample amount per order Calamari - crispy lightly battered not chewy at all We did order the PEI mussels and they were very good but the sauce it was cooked in was a little on the sweeter side. When i gave feedback to the waitress she graciously took it and said "thank you for letting me know I'll be sure to tell the chef" We all will definitely be back! read more

Great experience waitress name Steven Was very polite Excellent customer service food was on point very happy will come back again thank you read more

The food quality in this location is subpar and service much to be desired. Came in Nov 2014 for brunch - the sangria was not refilled. Came for new years eve - lobster was not fresh and meat stuck to shell. Came in july 2015 for dinner, the salad dressing was all congualated cheese and the breading fell apart on the bang bang shrimp. BIG disappointment read more

The service is excellent. The wait staff are familiar with the menu and can tell about any item on it. The food is very tasty. I had Crab Encrusted Cod. It arrived hot with sautéed baby spinach and French Fries that are crisp and light. I would definitely return with friends. read more

My criteria in rating restaurants might be different from other people. When I get a delicious meal professionally served in nice atmosphere at a reasonable price, what more could I ask for. I do not need a $50.00 plate in a pretentious restaurant for a 5 star review. During this time we try to order out several times a week in order to support our local restaurants. Last night we were celebrating a family birthday and decided to do takeout from Bonefish Grill. Everything was perfect. The person who took our order, the pickup and the food were all perfect. We had 2 Caesar salads, 3 tuna dinners all cooked differently with different sauces and sides and dessert. All of the tunas were cooked perfectly and were delicious and the sides were just right. Many times you order takeout from restaurants and the takeout containers ruin the food. They make the food soggy or the containers are styrofoam and don't hold up. Obviously they solved that problem because the food was restaurant quality. During these rough times it is important to support our local restaurants and don't forget to show support to the staff by tipping generously. read more

Very good food lobster butter sauce amazing bread oil to die for lol and our server "Steve " very plight and professional highly recommended asked him a couple of unrelated questions answered with no problem very sweet guy I appreciated every moment of my experience read more

Pretty disappointed with the food at this Bonefish Usually they are better than this. Bread is perfect but the Sea Bass was much too oily and a bit tough. My wife's scallops however were well prepared so that was a plus and moved it to a three star. The strawberry short cake was not good at all. Tasted too processed and "Store bought". Dereck our waiter was super nice and helpful. Paid the right amount of attention and was always smiling. The place needs a face lift on the inside. Men's Bathroom getting worn and parts missing stall door does not close. The covers on the cushions on the booth seats in the dining area look like they are falling off. Not just one or two but a bunch of them. I usually enjoy the Bone Fish Grille. Just not this one. read more

Took my husband there this past Saturday for his birthday. I made 8pm reservations, and arrived 10 minutes before my reservation. We were seated within 5 minutes which doesn't happen for me when I make reservations. Our waitress and staff were very friendly and pleasant. The manager even came by our table to ensure we had a pleasant experience since it was our first time. The food was superb. Fish was cooked to perfection. Wild orchid Hawaiian Martini is absolutely delish. We would definitely recommend and return ! read more

Fresh off an incredibly tiring day at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, my extended family and I decided to drive towards our respective New Jersey homes in search of food as opposed to taking our chances in Brooklyn. Upon finding that the wait at Cheesecake Factory was over an hour, my uncle suggested Bonefish Grill just up the highway. Skeptical as we, a bunch of Poles who consider themselves something of seafood connoisseurs, were, we agreed to go, and boy were we surprised. For a chain restaurant, Bonefish Grill is incredibly good. Our waiter was a little overwhelmed by our large group, but amidst his stuttering ramble about the specials of the day, I heard him mention a pomegranate martini, and I thought, "Why not get my daily dose of alcohol and antioxidants in one fell swoop?" I ordered one up and trust me, it did not disappoint. As for food, I had the Caesar salad, a boring choice, but a good one nonetheless, and the appetizer portion of calamari. As usual whenever I order an appetizer, the waiter asked me if I was sure I didn't want a meal instead, but his fears were unfounded: the portion was HUGE. I barely finished it, even though I so badly wanted to because not only was the calamari hot, fresh, and crispy, it was served with both marinara sauce and Thai sweet hot sauce, something I had never even considered putting on calamari before. It was in a word, scrumptious. My family also raved about Lily's Chicken and several of the fish dishes, particularly those with salmon. As to this specific location, it was just ok. We didn't have to wait, but the interior was very dark and noisy, which made holding a conversation with even my aunt, who was sitting next to me, difficult. The servers were competent but at times I felt like our primary waiter was not only overwhelmed but stretched too thin across other tables as well. Bathroom Grade: 8.5/10. True, it's clean and there's a lot of room, but the door isn't exactly in the best place to keep from hitting one of your fellow patrons. read more

Franchise food. Need I say more? It might be enjoyable once... twice... then it just gets old. SO unhealthy. Go to a real seafood place! read more

After a trip to Woodbridge Mall, I found myself extremely hungry and craving seafood. The two options I am most familiar with in the area are Red Lobster and Bonefish Grill ( which I had never tried before). So, my friend and I decided to make a night of it hoping for a better option. Here was our take : Pro: -the atmosphere is wonderful. -the bar has a great selection to try. -the wait staff is great. Cons: -seating was slow and they far reached what they said was the expected wait time. -everyone was offered a menu in the waiting area except myself and my friend. -they sat us next to the kitchen and when we asked for a better location they were unwilling to move us. -the food selection did not look appetizing at all. the combinations and choices presented made no sense. In the end, my friend and I walked out citing that it was not what we had expected. read more

Here for business travel and looking for someplace within walking distance. Thought I'd try Bonefish because it's usually pretty good. Should have recognized warning signs when I saw them for eating at bar - empty dishes and glasses, patrons drinks empty and no food and 1 bartender, but I was hungry. The bartender was busy with dining room drinks but eventually got down to my end of bar and moved dishes out of way and wiped down bar. Provided menu and went back to making dining room drinks...after a while did take my order for a glass of wine and bang bang tacos. Again, sporadic focus on bar area and considerably more time before I get a glass of wine. Food came out and it was just ok - something off with my bang bang shrimp, no spice to it. Finished my food and wine and then the wait began - no check in on food, just making drinks at the other end. Another server jumped in and came down to end of bar but it was to take care of the 2 ladies next to me and flirt. Looked right at my empty glass and went down to end of bar to talk to other bartender. It was all I could do to get the attention of the bartender just to get my check. Really wanted another glass of wine but had enough of this place. No bread, couldn't get water or additional service so headed back across the street to another place. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night and the wait was about half an hour. When we finally got seated, the waitress was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the calamari for appetzier and the Chilean Seabass; the calamari was alright, but the sauce was awesome. As for the seabass, it was very delicious (not as perfect as the one @ Morimoto, but good enough!). If you are a fish person, I definitely recommend to give it a try. read more

I really am not sure what took me so long to try out Bonefish Grill, but I'm so glad that I did! I had an amazing meal there and certainly look forward to going back soon! Our server, Sheila, was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. I tried the wild orchid Hawaiian martini, which was one of the best drinks that I've had in a really long time. I also tried the watermelon salad, which was very refreshing and flavorful. For my entrée, I had filet topped with lobster thermidor. The filet was cooked perfectly, the sides (steamed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes) were awesome and therimodor was delicious. I can't wait to go back to Bonefish and try more of their amazing entrees. read more
