TL;DR: Amazing service and good food! Bang bang Wednesdays are the best. Sorry this is going to be long. So to be honest, this was only my 4th time at Bonefish. But the more often I go, the more I realize that since it's a chain, it's severely underrated. I haven't had a bad experience yet at any three of the locations I've been to. Food: Wednesday's they have a special on their famous Bang Bang shrimp appetizer ($6 compared to $10.50). Definitely worth it. - bang bang shrimp: battered and fried shrimp, served on a bed of lettuce (which makes it look like it's more than it is, but still they give you a bunch!). The bang bang sauce is tangy and delicious, with a little bit of a kick. - calamari: So good. On it's own, the breading is seasoned so well. The sauce that comes with it is a sweet asian inspired sauce. I prefer it 100x over marinara (personally) - fish and chips: most of the time, you imagine this dish to be pretty heavy (as most fried food is). But the fish was so light and perfectly fried. It was a tad bit greasy, but I mean.. I fully expected that. - sirloin and crab cake dinner: A little on the smaller side, but still a bunch of food. Our steak came out a little more rare than medium rare, but we didn't care enough to complain. The crabcake was pretty small, but it was basically ALL crab. - Bacon mac and cheese: SO CHEESY. Served with spiral noodles. Every bite was covered in a string of melted cheese. So good. - Potatoes Au Gratin: again. SO CHEESY. But oh so good. -bread: Who doesn't love complimentary bread? It looks like some type of ciabatta loaf. So soft in the middle. Comes with a pesto oil to dip in. Our loaf was a little stale on the edges, but it happens. Service: Our waitress Emily was on point. She always cleared our plates that weren't being used. We always had water. We basically never really had to ask her for anything, not even the check. She was very aware and present enough to where she wasn't bothering us every 2 seconds. Amazing. We usually like going to chain restaurants for some kind of AYCE or a deal they're having, but Bonefish will definitely be a chain we continue to go to regardless; especially this location. read more

Poor service, food wasn't that good and serviced cold . Definitely won't return. Seating very close .

Just Circling back on this - I have tried everything and the DONT GET IN TOUCH! Im pretty sure they post a reply, to try and make it seem to others that they care... They Don't. See my earlier review.. read more

I'm a fan! The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and also detached enough to let me and my date talk. :D The service at the bar is also excellent. I had a pleasant experience as a result and the food was delicious. The wait for food was not long at all, and the layout of the restaurant is nice, open. The lights are turned a bit low, which is great for an evening meal. I'm not one for seeing bright-as-day lighting for an evening meal as romantic at all. I would say this is great for a romantic dinner, and other occasions as well. I did see a comment where someone mentioned that it looked like the mashed potatoes were doled out with an ice cream scoop...we did not see this. Our sides were not looking like 3- star or less rated restaurants. I do agree that there were no sides that you would likely see at a 5-star restaurant but this is not a 5-star restaurant. It is a good restaurant for a chain-type restaurant. Highly recommend. No, I was not paid for this review. :) read more

BILLY THE MANAGER SAVED THE DAY! My family and I have been dining at Bone Fish for a number of years and every time, it has been an amazing experience. Great service, delicious food and a wonderful staff - unfortunately, last Friday (January 5, 2024) almost turned my 5 stars to 1 star. Taking a friend out to dinner, this was his first time dining at Bone Fish - my rave review had him excited. The hostess was delightful and immediately showed us to our table. Here's where it got a little dicey, our server comes over and introduces herself. We ordered a cocktailed followed by an appetizer to share (the crab cakes are amazing, just saying). Both drinks finished and the crab cakes a distant memory, we sat and watched our server serve everyone except us. Unhappy, I politely asked a pleasant woman who worked there and happened to be passing by if she could track our server down, we wanted to order our entree's. Few minutes go buy and she showed up, thirsty and hungry, I began to order for the both of us. Once I ordered the entree's, I ordered another drink - she took my drink request but never asked my friend if he would like another cocktail/beverage. At this point my "this is unacceptable attitude" started to kick-in but in true "I'm not going to make a scene" attitude, I sat back and waited for my drink and the entree's. The ambiance was electric and the individuals busing out the food and drinks were nothing short of spectacular. My drink arrives (by now my friend still parched is trying to understand my rave review - his first experience isn't going too well). Here comes the food, I ordered the surf & turf (medium steak and shrimp) - the steak was completely overdo! Our server, speeding by my table once again had to be flagged down. By now, I pushed my plate toward the end of the table and when she graced her with her presence, I expressed my dissatisfaction with my steak. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse she had the nerve to say "do you want to eat the shrimp now and I'll bring you back another steak?" Holding by my aggression, I said "NO, it's surf and turf NOT surf now and turf later". Here's when the evening took a turn to POSITIVEVILLE - my server spoke to Billy the manager and he came over. This part is for Bone Fish Corporate - Billy's attitude along with his professional determination to make things right was a breath of fresh air. He took our drink order, hold-on Yelp Family, he even took my friends drink order and he brought me out another plate of food - surf and turf was back on the menu and it was DELICIOUS. Billy assigned us another server and he was everything in my life - warm, professional with a smile that lit-up the entire dining room. When it was all set and done, Billy not only saved the day, he single-handedly saved the entire evening. Neil Diamond and the American Band The Monkees weren't the only believers, my friend now understood and believed my rave review. I'm a Brooklyn girl who spends a lot of time in Virginia visiting family and friends, Bone Fish will remain on my list for every visit. Billy, if you read this, I would be remiss if I didn't say this -- THANK YOU KIND SIR for an amazing dinner. This review is not to bash the server, hopefully she will see this review and will grow from it. Rock On! read more

Martinis. Seafood. Lauren. We've been popping in throughout the pandemic to have a martini and to-go family packs of salmon or Lilly's Chicken which last us for days. The food is well prepared, delicious for several meals, and we always feel like we got our money's worth. Recently, we've come to appreciate bartender Lauren whose ways with the Hendricks martinis are mysterious and keep us coming back for more. We recommend stopping by even if it is just to see Lauren (or her colleagues) and maybe taking home a meal. Caution, this is a popular joint - they fill up fast! Also, see their online ordering for loyalty rewards. read more

I spent almost $100 in food and I had to prepare some noodles for my kids because everything was just awful. The grilled chicken from the kids meal had 4 very thin slices of chicken and barely 10-15 fries. The calamari was soggy, the shrimps was nothing to do with the ones served at the restaurant and the Chilean bass meal was ridiculously small for the price. So very dissatisfied and disappointed with everything. Never getting food from here again. read more

We've been here on many occasions always positive until our most recent visit. We placed our order and after 40mins. Manager??? came to our table to say our food would be out momentarily BUT they are out of calamari which I had ordered with a side as meal. It took that long to realize they were out of an item? I could order something else no charge. A couple of minutes later out comes my husbands meal and my side. He was 3/4 of the way through his meal when my "rushed through " bang bang shrimp arrived. Hope this was a one time bad experience. read more

My friend and I went out to eat for dinner. I hadn't been to bonefish grill in years. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs. Everyone seemed to be pleased with our food choices. One of my friends did say the green beans were too hard, which is the reason for four stars. read more

We had reservations and were seated immediately upon arrival. The staff were super friendly, especially Jason our waiter. The bang bang shrimp appetizer was very good. I ordered the Mai Mai and grilled shrimp. The fish was delicious but the shrimp were not. My fiancé had the steak and lobster tail, the steak was well done when she asked for medium. The choice of sides is pretty bleak, sour coleslaw and lackluster mashed potatoes. Will I go back? Considering the high price and all, probably not. read more

So disappointing! "Crab cake" appetizer was not hot. Fell completely apart tasted like their crab dip was placed on a flat top and browned Soup came out cold. Spoke to manager and expressed our disappointment and he assured us the rest of the meal would be hot. Main dishes came out COLD to barely Luke warm. Manager offered to remake the meals but would take an additional 30 minutes. We were already there 2 hours so declined the offer. On the plus side: server was wonderful, kids meals came out immediately and hot. Manager comped the entire bill even though we insisted on paying for our cocktails and kids meals and the soup which was hot second time around. Definitely having issues in the kitchen. I know bonefish is closing locations perhaps this is not unusual for this once good chain read more

I had dinner at Bonefish Grill last night with two friends and everything was delicious. The bang bang shrimp were excellent. My friend and I had the Sea Bass entree and the other had the stuff cod, nothing was left on any plates. We even had dessert, cheese cake and that was really good. Our waiter Tim as amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided suggestions and they were all great. Now here is where I am giving you the real deal, the portion size didn't bother me because I am trying to loose a few lbs and I am telling myself it's all I need. The portion are measured and just enough doe one person. I had 2 orders of the steam spinach and was satisfied but my GF had an order of rice and it little looked like a teaspoon on Rice on her plate. She ate it all and did say it was a really small portion. It was but it was good. A little Pricey but good. Would most like have dinner her again soon. read more

Update: so we continue to come and enjoy the food at bonefish, but we have found the perfect time that works for us.... Lunch. Same amazing food, but not the crowds or noise. We love Saturday or Sunday mornings here. On the nights we want a quiet weekend, we call in takeout. I was incredibly impressed with the way they packaged the food. The sauces were not smothered all over, so it kept everything fresh until we got home to enjoy dinner. When the food came out the server went through the bag to make sure it was right and I was happy, even had a loaf of bread and my favorite dipping sauce! For dinner I still give it three stars because of atmosphere, but for lunch and takeout I give it a 5.... Average score: 4 :) ---------------- Previous review 2013 Good place, but can be noisy and feel like you are eating with the table next to you. Went here last week for Christmas get together and my niece's high chair was always getting in the way of the people walking by. The food was good, just not the right atmsphere if you want to hear each other talk. read more

Came in for a late night dinner following a long evening graduation. The waiter, Dustin, was not only attentive but made great suggestions. Truly appreciated the hospitality of the hostess and the waiter. The food was served quickly, was delicious and the experience exceeded expectations. Will definitely be back. read more

When you first get into the Bonefish Grill, you have to get through a rotating door that spins around. Kinda nice, but a hassle if the place gets busy and people are constantly trying to go in and out of the restaurant. The place is not well lit and if your trying to take a photo, you will need to use flash. Our waitress was really nice and she introduced herself as Stephanie. She started us up with bread and pesto before taking our order. For the appetizer I got Bang Bang Shrimp and it was absolutely delicious! For the entree I ordered the Ahi Tuna Steak; it was was juicy and well seasond. My cousin ordered the Special: Shrimp + Scallop Firepot and was a bit pricy for what came with it. She said it tasted a bit bland to her. Good servers, food was delicious, but can be a bit pricy for the proportion we're getting. It's not well lit, but probably makes a good atmosphere for couples. read more

We made online reservations last week and waited standing at the turnstile after check in for over an hour past the reservation time for a table. Seems Bonefish management has taken a page from the airline industry and overbook reservations to assure they will stay busy and make up for "no shows" ...at the customer's expense! Well it won't happen to us again. Then our waitress disappeared when we were almost finished with our meal. We were going to get dessert, but it just took so long for her to finally show up, we wanted to leave at that point. Not good. read more

Today was my first time visiting Bone Fish, although I had heard about it before - mixed reviews, but mostly positive. My daughter, friend, and I went there for brunch, and tbh, I was pretty disappointed in the brunch menu. There just weren't enough breakfast-y items, not even a shrimp or sausage and grits, or a chicken and waffles. We started off with calamri for an appetizer, which was fine. I'd had better and I'd had worse. The most annoying part of the app was that it sat on a bed of flavorless wonton (?) crisps, which seemed like such a waste. The sauce it came with was wonderful, though, and the coating was nicely seasoned. My daughter ordered steak with mashed potatoes and spinach. She didn't make any remarks of note, other than to say that it was good. My friend and I each got omelettes, and we shared a plate of french toast. She had the Oscar omelette, which she thought was kind of plain. I had the California omelette, which I felt had a good mix of flavor, mainly because of the bacon that was inside. Neither of us had complaints about the asparagus. We both agreed that we would've gotten more bang for our buck (taste and size) from IHop omelettes. The french toast brought the whole experience from "decent" to "I'd come back again." Had a nicely and lightly carmelized side, and the whipped cream and strawberries made for tasty toppings (although I prefer mine without the whip). Next time I would order that, and then pay the small upcharge for a side of scrambled eggs. Lastly, Greg was a wonderful server, very friendly and provided just the right amount of attentiveness. Overall, I would rate it as a 3.5, but the french toast and Greg bumped it up that extra half star. read more

Stopped in to try out this location for the first Time. The wait for seating on a Saturday night at 7:30 was going to be about 20 minutes so we decided to sit in the bar area at the community tables right by the door. We were immediately welcomed by Cierra who turned out to be the best waitress ever. She helps me pick the Mule to drink quickly goddess bread and explain to us about the menu and the dinner special they had going that night. I don't think I've had anyone take so much time with me in a restaurant it was magical. We opted for the three-course meal for two and got the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer which is just delicious. For my aunt Ray I got the dynamite shrimp and the boyfriend got the salmon on a plank. Everything was really fresh and delicious we kind of shared our meals. And then we got the brownie to go because I was full. Cierra packaged up my brownie perfectly with each part separate so I could create it at home after heating up the brownie. It was a pretty darn good meal and great price and great service! read more

I know this is a chain restaurant but Bonefish Grill does an excellent job. Every time I have come here their service has been outstanding, every single time. If I could give them a separate rating for just service alone it would be five stars. Yes my family started off with the classic "bang bang" shrimp. It's actually the only seafood my wife will actually eat so this is always a must. For dinner my wife ate the Lily's Chicken with spinach and potatoes. She was very complimentary of the dish. I had the special of the evening which was salmon with spinach and crabmeat on top. It was excellent! One of my children ordered shrimp-of the fried verity of course. Kids love their fried stuff.... We will be making our way here again to eat! read more

Bonefish is always a hit. Had the sea bass, and it was absolutely delicious. I did find the white cosmo, even though its usually only available closer to the end of the season. If you haven't had one, try it out. read more

I've been to Bonefish Grill enough times that I really should have some stronger opinion about them, maybe that's exactly what is worse to put into a review. Though obviously a chain restaurant, they do fairly well regarding atmosphere, service, and quality of food. The experience from one location to another can vary to a good degree depending on how busy they might be, and unfortunately what kind of day your waiter or waitress might be having. The menu is good enough without truly offering anything too specialty or inventive, though I can understand we are trying to serve the largest segment of the population so fresh grilled squared or seafood paella are just a few things you'll probably never see at Bonefish Grill. (Though I can't knock them for wanting to be something they are not intending to be.) Due to the relatively standard menu and the range of experiences I might have, I tend to go there telling myself to keep an open mind and to not expect too much - hence the 3 Star review. read more

I just ordered via DoorDash a meal that I've ordered before, and is normally delectable, but this delivery was a huge disappointment. The steak and shrimp were delicious, but the crab cake and both sides (garlic mashed potatoes & sauteed spinach) were SO salty they were inedible. I actually had to throw those out in the trash, you couldn't taste anything but salt. If it were a lower priced chain restaurant, I'd chalk it up to "what do you expect", but I paid nearly double for a dish from BoneFish to get the quality I always experienced in the past. Either the chef was not tasting as they prepared those items or is a heavy smoker. Having worked in restaurants in the past, I know smokers are desensitized to the taste of salt and will often oversalt. Whichever the cause isn't important, it's the final product sent out to paying customers that is the issue. The product I received was far below the normal standards of BoneFish Grill, as well as mine. If I have to throw out ¾ of my meal because it's overloaded with salt, I might as well order from a local chain and save $40 on my meal. read more

This is our go to place for our family and anniversaries. Although we haven't gone this year I expect will go soon. The food has always been fresh and hot. The Hull street location never disappoints, see you soon good fellows. read more

Like always not impressed by seafood at Richmond . They served pretty late our dishes and grilled shrimps were burn and dried . They remade still not good. Not satisfied . read more

Bonefish Grill ... I don't typically like chain restaurants but this place serves great seafood entrees and other dishes . This particular evening we were meeting friends and they called ahead to get on their online reservations .(which by the way is fabulous) Just so you know this place has them waiting outside for a table . We thought we had at least a 45 min wait , but thanks to the online reservations we waited maybe 15 mins. This enabled us to enjoy HAPPY HOUR !!! Yes that's right HAPPY HOUR !!! (I love happy hour) We were able to enjoy Martinis for half price . Bonefish knows how to make the best Martini . Also they offer a dinner special for two . You can enjoy a the three-course meal. It starts with their signature appetizer Bang Bang Shrimp, choice of a house salad or Caesar salad and entree of your choice all for $49.00 . Wow ... what a great deal for exceptional food . I will say the entree portions are smaller , but after the Bang Bang shrimp and salad it will satisfy the normal appetite . We were completely satisfied . Our server was at the top of her game . The only complaint was the smaller portion entree. So that's why I gave 4 stars. read more

Decided on Bonefish as an easy Monday night dinner - Sticky - really sticky rice. My broccoli had a strange sauce, like it came from someone's leftovers. Didn't get advertised sides...asked for chop sticks for bang bang shrimp, had to go to bar to get. Missing waitress... Used to like this place, but the last several times we've been here the food and service have been sorely lacking. At some point, the manager's offers of free food and hopes you'll come back stop working. read more

Came here Saturday and sat at the bar. My bartender was Melissa and she was really sweet. She had a great clientele and many guest knew her. Drinks were delicious and appetizer was amazing. I ordered the seafood imperial dip and it was out of this world. It was a good size portion and full of flavor. Best dish of the night. I was pretty comfortable after my appetizer so I just ordered a small Cesar salad and bacon Mac and cheese. Salad was fresh. Mac and cheese was just okay. Lacked taste and honestly only had a 3 or 4 crumbled pieces of bacon on top. Wouldn't order again. Overall, really enjoyed my experience. Would definitely return. read more

Awesome food every visit we have! We are here about a month ago to celebrate a promotion, all seating but at the bar was reserved (the romantic seating, less like being in the "pen" dining room. So loud.) So we took the bar seating, it was still alright. The bartenders made great drinks, had us feeling comfortable in no time, the fish and chips were greasy but wonderful, and my husbands tacos were even better. 10/10 date spot, put it on your radar! read more

So I like the food at this location as well as the drinks, but if you're not sitting at the bar the service sucks. Why does it take an hour between appetizer and entree when the restaurant isn't busy? Not only that but a total lack of communication from the waiter. There was no " sorry let me check why it's taking a while" or "the kitchen is backed up", just no communication at all. Not impressed. Also when the waiters see you waiting on food and they're lined up at the back of the restaurant watching some video on their phones... I mean we all do it but maybe go where customers can't see you? read more

While a chain restaurant, Bonefish continues to provide a comfortable slightly upscale atmosphere with excellent seafood choices. Always a reliable choice. Service is sometimes spotty, though, usually because the server is new. read more

Had an awesome experience here tonight. Dinner is so much more than the food. The staff from the front of the house to the back was professional and courteous. Our server, Sarah was the true gem of our night as well. Even though they were fairly busy we were taken care of like we were the only ones there. As a bonus there was alaskan black cod on the menu this evening and it was spectacular. Kudos to all the staff and management of this location, you hit a home run tonight. read more

Great seafood, steaks and pork chops. Always great service with a very good wait staff. They excel at providing high end service at a reasonable price. One of our favorite appetizers, here or at any restaurant, is their bang bang shrimp (a fried shrimp appetizer tossed in a buffalo-type sauce) with a fantastic flavor! They serve it with chop sticks which just makes it fun. A delightful dining experience that we always enjoy. I hope you do to. read more
