Let me start by say I am a big bonefish fan. However, my visit here was nothing short of a huge disappointment! Will start by saying I had reservations for 6 for my wife's birthday. When we arrived, we were told a few minutes which turned out to be close to 45 mins. Once seated, our server just didn't want to be bothered with us. That was evident the whole night! Half the tables food came out. The other half didn't receive there's for another 20 minutes. All but one dish was actually good. Two steaks were very over cooked and just overall, the food was a huge disappointment! Because we were celebrating my wife's birthday, I told our server, the manager and the hostess, thinking they would do something special. She got nothing! We had to watch others celebrating their birthday get a nice sparkler with a desert while my wife got nothing! After about $175 later, truly disappointed in the food and service and her birthday dinner was ruined! We've been long time loyal customers but after tonight, will definitely not be coming back. read more

Sweetie found some sort of discount coupon on line for BG. It was local and so were we and I'd never been and wanted seafood -- so we went. Commoditizing seafood is a dicey proposition for me. I mean, its not like unbranded gasoline for your car -- even though at some cellular level -- eating seafood means energy. I don't expect a Michelin star experience every time I eat out -- and sometimes chow down is just fine -- but I do need more than just survival dining. Like Crocodile Dundee said about foraging in the wild -- "well you can live on it, but it tastes like s&it." I did not expect survival dining at Bonefish Grill -- but got it anyway. BG is a commoditized seafood experience, similar to its related chains, Outback, Carrabba's and others (all owned by Bloomin' Brands -- a publicly traded company with 1500 stores worldwide). This casual dining concept gets you fed, and if you choose wisely, fed reasonably well and easy on your pocketbook. But you must moderate your expectations -- and suffer through vigorous up selling and exaggeration during your meal that you get from a young and eager service staff. Yesterday's meal was disappointing despite the pleasant ambiance and staff. Strong gin martini's helped us laugh it off. Not sure I would try this location again. I won't belabor the food errors, but raw sea bass (see pic) 'aint cool, and neither is gummy shrimp, chewy ceviche, and scallops drowned in funky mayonnaise. Just about everything was soaked with butter and salt -- the classic coverup for old and/or poorly executed seafood. The manager was all sorts of apologetic about my raw sea bass and cut our bill in half and bought me a gratis martini and sea bass dinner to boot (cooked perfectly this time) -- which accounts for the 2 stars. Ironically enough, we never used the discount coupon that brought us here in the first place -- and that's just as well -- didn't want to add insult to injury. read more

James, James, James. He was the only perk to our night. I enjoy coming here but a few things were off during my last experience which makes me question my return. I don't know if it was because of covid or what. But everything was off. The bar service was slow. Drinks were not mixed properly. Food did not come out great. What should of been served cold was served warm ... The only enjoyable part of our night was James. He served us and was the best part. Personality, thoughtfulness and the ability to just be himself made our date night cherishable. He had us laughing and the table next to us, who were wishing he was serving them. Thank you James. read more

My second time here and it's decent. I wouldn't say the best...sort of on the line of Outback Steakhouse, Applebee's, or a Red Lobster. The decor is really nice and surprisingly big on the inside. The place is well maintained and very clean. I wish there was more to say about the decor but it was really dim and what you'd expect from a restaurant that's similar to Outback Steakhouse. Staff: very friendly. Our waiter, Yaser (I believe that was his name) went above and beyond. He was friendly and attentive from the moment my husband and I sat down. We waited a good 20 mins for the rest of or party to get there and Yaser didn't rush us at all. He kept coming back to check on us to make sure we were doing ok, bought us fresh bread when the rest of our party arrived, he was really on top of everything. He was very friendly and conversed with us without looking annoyed that we were probably wasting his time attending to other tables. Food: Decent. I ordered the spicy ahi tuna bowl which consisted of rice, shredded carrots, mango salsa, seared ahi tuna and these crunchy wonton like strips on top. It wasn't the best thing I've tasted but not the worst. It is one of the restaurant's favorite dishes so it is worth a try if you're not looking to eat fish or steak. Another must try is their bang bang shrimp which has a spicy tang to it. It's fried shrimp with this spicy rant sauce on a bed of lettuce which really lives up to its name. Definitely something worth getting...price could be better though. Whom I believe was the manager, came up to our table to ask how everything was. I noticed he continuous circled the restaurant checking on everyone's dining experience which is a plus. A lot of people who stay at the hotel next door come to this location for lunch/dinner. If you're visiting the area, this is a decent location since the mall is probably a 5 minute drive. As a local I wouldn't say I'd come here all the time, but it's a nice place for happy hour and a less fancy/classy dinner read more

Bonefish Grill - Spicy Ahi Tuna bowl - Seafood Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Went here for a private event and it was great. They have a shrimp that is so addictive called the "bang bang", I had about 5 plates of the shrimp alone. The grilled chicken was also amazing. Staff was friendly and kept coming over to make sure things were good with our group. Really liked this place and its definitely a place I would go back to and try other things on the menu. read more

Terrible service. We received nearly no service. The bread never arrived. The water did not arrive after we spherically asked twice. It finally arrived after the main dish! read more

The service is excellent.... Happy hr drink specials were surprisingly affordable. The Bang Bang shrimp was good but skip the calamari and skip this place all together if you don't like an incredibly loud crowd. May return again but at a later hour for hopefully a nicer experience read more

I thought it was good! If I had to change anything, I would say I think the pasta needs some more zing but honestly just some Parmesan does the trick. We got the crab fries . Highly recommend those! read more

Went there with my family and my friend and his family for a total of seven people, We called ahead to make reservations, Good thing we did Is was very busy when we got there , The take out was insane! There's was more people there for takeout then there to dine, There was literally a line of cars in the parking lot wait to get texted to come pick up there food, The people work at the desk up front was very professional and courteous even under dose crazy Circumstances, The food was ok, usual Cain Restruant food ( Apple bees- TGIF- typical food) But we'll prepared the waiter was a little stressed but he kept it together, ( it was funny watching him keeping his composure) Not very expensive I paid $150 for a family of 4 that includes the tip and a glass of wine coffee and 3 Shirley Temple's If you in Paramus check it out Cheers read more

So every year my sister gets me a gift card to a restaurant that I normally not go to. Obviously I'm not going to just let it go with lout using it, hey, its basically a free meal!! Bonefish surprised me with a great meal from start to finish. Great apps, solid meal, fresh fish, great quick service. Aside from the restaurant temp 1 degree cooler than the sun, all was great. Bravo! read more

I have already been twice to this restaurant and will continue attending since my husband and I love it so much! We have come with friends as well and we all love it too! The place is nice, it is very pleasant, pretty restaurant and The food is delicious, the staff is polite, courteous and very professional. The second time I attended Bonefish Grill, I was received by Carolina, the hostess, which is also my name and from the get go that was a great sign. Not only because she has my name, but she was very sweet, polite, professional and very courteous not only to me but to everyone who walked in and who was already there waiting! Kudos to Carolina! Moreover, the food was delicious, our waitress was also very nice (can't remember her name). She was very pleasant, courteous and very knowledgeable of the menu as well! The place is always great, we get seated right away my friends and I. I would definitely highly recommend attending this restaurant. Everything we have tried from the menu has been epic good! read more

Pretty nice place for a birthday dinner! There is something on the menu for everyone, if they are seafood lovers. We sat in a booth and the service was great. Andrew and Lucas both took care of our table. We ordered guacamole and bang bang shrimp for an appetizer. A lot of us ordered the specials and were not disappointed. This would include the Cedar wood grilled salmon, Cod imperial, Saigon Shrimp and Scallops, fish and chips and crab cake and sirloin. Would definitely go back because of the service! They added a cool sparkler for birthday celebrations read more

It's been has been awhile since I've been there. So happy hubby and I went. We were shopping at MACY'S in Paramus Park. It was 8 o'clock we were hungry but did not want to go to the food court. Got to the car and words we have said many times Where do you want to go for dinner? Ugh. Turned our heads and saw the sign Bonefish Grill. Ok! Let's go! Glad we did. Hubby had the sirloin and crab cake. He said it was pretty good. Especially since the crab cake was moist. I had the ribeye. It was cooked to perfection. I could not eat the whole thing. But I did leave room for dessert. We ordered the Banana Foster. It's wasn't the traditional dessert we were used to having in other restaurants. But boy IT WAS YUMMY! Also our waiter Mike was very attentive. Some places that is a rare commodity. Thank you Mike. read more

I have been meaning to check this place out for awhile. It's hidden behind the paramus park mall and in the hotel area. The restaurant was pretty busy. Service here is excellent! We got the famous bang bang shrimp. It was fantastic! Shrimp was battered and fried and then coated with spicy mayo type of sauce with some cabbage underneath. It was one of the best spicy mayo shrimps I've ever had. It's a must-try. We also got the crusted cod and mahi mahi fish. They were excellent as well. I liked that the fish wasn't too strongly seasoned and wasn't salty at all and brought out the natural flavors out of them. Also, the sides we got were pretty big portioned as well. They all went really well with the drinks. They offer 50% off on the 4th visit including their sister restaurants like Fleming's, outback, and carrabba's. I like them all. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came in for an anniversary dinner on New Years Day and it was overall a great experience! We were seated quickly on a Friday night and it was a holiday too. So very glad for that since we were really hungry. Server was able to quickly bring over bread which was warm, soft on the inside crunchy on the outside. When ordering when I mentioned my allergy my server was able to tell me exactly what dishes have what types of onions and answer all my questions. We ordered the lobster stuffed shrimp special, bang bang shrimp, and rainbow trout topped with mango salsa and with garlic whipped potatoes and French green beans on the side. We mentioned we were splitting everything and when everything came out, the main entree was already split into two portions for us. Mango salsa was even separated well so allergy could be taken care of. That was greatly appreciated! Lobster stuffed shrimp was full of flavor, served right on the skillet. Very creamy but not too much and it complemented the other dishes we ordered. The bang bang shrimp lives up to the hype! It's creamy and there's a kick to it that isn't too bad spicy level-wise. My boyfriend loves it and usually he doesn't eat anything spicy. Good and must try on the menu! For the rainbow trout with sides, Bonefish's promise for fresh fish is tasted in the fish. You can taste how fresh it is! The mango salsa was light and perfect since we had some creamier items on the menu for appetizers. Between the two of us we were full from two appetizers and splitting an entree with out breaking the bank! Can't wait for the next time we try Bonefish again! read more

The food was amazing as always... The waitress was too friendly, which is not necessarily a bad thing

I ate at the Paramus location last night... we were a party of 11 celebrating a B Day. There were 2 servers handling our table, but it truly didn't feel like it. Our bread plates were left on the table almost the entire night, not once did they come around to refill our water. I ordered the Rainbow Trout with rice and sautéed spinach... I thought the fish was tasty, but hardly enough to satisfy my hunger, the rice looked liked it had been scooped out of a big rice cooker and just slammed on the plate and the spinach I didn't even finish and I love spinach. I'm always extra sensitive about how many refills of water I get and how often I'm asked if I at least want a refill. Bonefish... step it up the on the basics ...and for B Days, make an effort to acknowledge the customer- I've gotten more love getting an oil change on my B Day..‍! read more

Bonefish is great! First of all, the service was amazing. Our waiter was very attentive. To start, my boyfriend got the coral reef punch, which he said was very good. The bread with oil and butter was also very good. For appetizers, we got the crab cakes and calamari. Both were delicious. For main course, I got the filet mignon with Mac and cheese and au grautin potatoes. The meat was a little undercooked, but still good. The Mac and cheese and potatoes were great. My mom got the tuna with the jasmine rice and brussel sprouts. She thought the brussel sprouts were amazing! The rest of her meal was good as well. My boyfriend got the mahi mahi special with lobster and broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes. He thought the portion was a bit small, but enjoyed his meal. For dessert we shared the chocolate lava cake, which was very good as well. We'd definitely come back here! read more

I have been impressed often by their cooking and ability to deliver hot food in good condition. Oddly I was disappointed but the fish and chips. Really nice fried cod, but bleh undercooked and cold chips. Also forget to include malt vinegar as specified read more

We stayed in Farifield Inn suites by Mariott and this restaurant was attached to the hotel, we were very hungry so we ordered Fish & Chips, Dynamite Shrimp and BFG burger, everything was super tasty maaaaaan the shrimp was killing, If I got back there I will order three plates of it, service was great, the place was very cozy and clean, was very nice dining experience, I will visit again for sure If I go to NJ again. read more

loved everything expected the water victoria she was so rude to me and my family and complaining about us.

We tried Bonefish Grill before and were not impressed, but we decided to give it a try again in August for a family birthday party. Our DoorDash driver waited 2 hours for the meal to be handed to him. My guests filled up on appetizers and were unable to eat the meals when they finally arrived after 8:00 PM. The food was ok, nothing special. We tried again a few days ago with only 2 meals at a cost of $117. The meals are overpriced for the portion sizes and quality. Add in the additional fees and it's just not worth it. Meal #1 - Ahi Tuna Sashimi appetizer, Filet Mignon and Crab Cake entree, coleslaw and spinach sides. The Tuna Sashimi was overcooked. It looked like canned tuna and sliced so thin it was like a piece of wilted lettuce. The 6 oz Filet that was actually 3.5 oz and after removing the huge membrane, I was left with a total of 3 very tough bites. The crabcake appeared to have been cut in half and was actually as small as an appetizer. The coleslaw was flavorless with barely a hint of mayo. I dressed the coleslaw myself. The "sauteed" spinach must have just hovered over a frying pan on it's way to my order, never actually touching the pan as it was raw and flavorless. I sauteed and seasoned it myself. Meal #2 - Mussels appetizer, Shrimp and Scallops entree, in lemon butter, Fries and Steamed Asparagus sides. Shrimp and Scallops were just ok, overcooked lacking seasoning. Steamed Asparagus had no flavor at all and was too hard to eat. Again I had to cook and season myself. Sounds like a lot of food, right? In addition to the food prices, they charge a Delivery and Service Fee at 13% of the food cost, and then there is the driver tip which was actually the only legitimate cost in my opinion. The bottom line, you get small portions and overpriced mediocre food. I would not recommend Bonefish Grill in Paramus, NJ. I wish I had taken pictures. read more

This used to be my go-to restaraunt for a nice meal where I am treating my parents for dinner. We LOVE Bonefish because we LOVE their bang bang shrimp appetizers and entree. My parents and I went here for dinner on Easter as a thank you gift for everything my parents had helped me this year. To start, we arrived at 4:10 for our 4:15 reservation - we sat immediately (YAY great). After 20 minutes of perusing the menu, deciding what we want, we did not even have water yet, no one even came over to introduce themselves to us or anything for that matter - really odd. So I went up to the hostess and she was shocked and immediately spoke to a our waiter and he finally came over. Finally when we were greeted with water and bread, we were able to order because we reviewed for so long. We ordered an appetizer to start and each ordered our entree. Ten minutes later, our entrees came out. Our waiter forgot about our appetizer. Our waiter tried to take back our food and get an appetizer for us but at this point we were starving and just took our entrees. Then I got the bill and the receipt holder was sticky and greasy. Not a fun feeling to feel when paying for a meal you hated. We were big fans of Bonefish when it came to our area, this was a huge let down. We left this night and said we will not be returning. Major let down... not even the bang bang shrimp will bring us back for the horrible service. read more

Lovely place for dinner on a Friday night. Great intimate ambience and I liked that our table could have a conversation over dinner without shouting. The service was exceptional. Our server was very helpful, disappearing to check where one of the beers were brewed when casually asked by our party. We couldn't even stop her in time, she was just that fast. I had the talapia with mango salsa, french-style green beans and spinach with garlic. The fish was very good and not too oily, while the mango salsa give it a nice acidic tang. The crisp green beans were liberally coated in butter, which made them automatically delicious. It was a simple meal, but well executed. read more

Bonefish Grill - Amazingly delicious - Seafood Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Ordered via Door Dash Saturday night and the food came pretty quickly! I ordered the risotto which was tomato based and had scallops and shrimp, a house salad that was absolutely yummy, and a brownie that came with ice cream, whipped cream, and a raspberry compote. They also sent along some ciabatta bread and the olive oil and herbs dip that was soooo delicious. I was not that impressed with the entree as I found the risotto to be a bit gummy but perhaps it isn't the best thing to order as a takeout option. Everything else was delicious and I would definitely order from here again! read more

Came here with friends the other night. I'm currently on a dairy free diet and the waitress was nice enough to check everything for me. You honestly don't get that everywhere so I really appreciated it. Also the Cobb salad was delicious! I didn't have the blue cheese or ranch dressing on it but I switched to the citrus vinegar which also tasted good. No dairy free desert options. Bonefish should offer something there. Sorbet? read more

In early July my wife and I went to this Bonefish Grill and had a bit of a sub-par experience. I wrote to the manager and he replied quickly with a telephone call. He apologized and sent two gift cards for our next visit. I was happily surprised and decided we would visit when we are back in the vicinity. The following is an email message I sent to the manager after the follow-up visit: Hi Mr. Warnke, My wife and I were in Harrisburg, PA last Saturday and knew our return trip home would take us near your restaurant, so we decided to stop in for dinner. We had a lovely dinner and wanted to let you know that everything was up to the standards we anticipate when we go to Bonefish Grill. Kevin S. was our server and was very pleasant. The Two of $45 was offer was one we could not refuse - it is a really good deal! Unfortunately our Imperial Dip was late in arriving so we asked Kevin about it and he apologized and said he forgot to put the order in and said it would be on the house. We felt a little bad about that since we were going to use the gift cards you so generously gave us for our last visit. Shortly after that the manager on duty that night, a lovely woman who remembered us from our last visit, came over to apologize about the incident. Our dinners were arriving just then so she offered to have the dip wrapped up for us to take home if we wanted, and we agreed. I don't remember her name but she is a real gem, so friendly and personable. I decided to try the upgraded sides of bacon mac and cheese and creamed spinach and they were both very good. As they were a point of contention on our last visit (when the broccoli ran out) I wish I had tried them last time! So everything was really top-notch this time. We knew we would not have room for the Key lime cake and we asked to have it for later. All I can say is that it did not last long at home. Key lime pie is everywhere, but the cake version is really good - and a nice size portion too! So thank you again for the gift cards. We were hoping to see you and thank you in person but Kevin said you were unavailable that night. We forgot to give our phone number for the DineRewards so I did not receive an email questionnaire to send in my comments, but if you like I can copy this and send it where it can be read by the corporate team and have it reflect well on you and your restaurant. Thanks again and I hope we can meet you next time. PS: We were at table 406, Check #0388 on 7/30/22 8:18 pm. read more

It has been a while I haven't come to this place. The place still looks the same and the food as always delicious. My favorite dish the bang bang shrimp tacos and the ahí tuna. The wine was ok, I came during a happy hour, so I'm not sure what brand of wine was given to me. The waiter was nice, he was able to bring the food out quick. Overall, the experience was good. read more

Good food, but nothing extraordinary. This restaurant is great if you have a birthday or a quiet date night. The establishment definitely has an older demographic. A white cloth table cover is usually an indicator that a restaurant is on the high-end side, but the presentation of the food is anything but. The plating of the food is what you would get from any other franchise restaurant out there, so I would suggest they hire someone that is knowledgeable with food plating. On a positive note, the waiter was very nice and recommended a few of their favorite menu items. To conclude this review, Bonefish Grill is just another ordinary franchise.

Phenomenal service!!! I had the most amazing server, her name is Wendy and she was the bomb. My meal for the night was the bang bang shrimp and it pair greatly with the service. I would love to have the same server again whenever I return. Also beautiful atmosphere. read more

We're from out of town and staying at the Fairfield Inn, which is connected to Bonefish Grill. It's been 24 hours and we've already visited for drinks/food twice because of the service. The staff here are top notch, especially the bartender Nick; he is super friendly and accommodating. I hope this staff gets the recognition it deserves! We'll be sure to be back again. read more

I had the pasta with shrimps and scallops scampi special. The food came almost cold , it was spicy and too salty. that wasn't a scampi sauce and clearly not a fresh made sauce. My daughter ordered the fillet mignon with shrimp. She sent it back because the meat tasted " funny". Giving the place the benefit of the doubt she ordered something else but we both left half of our meal intact. We wondered why the restaurant was almost empty on a Saturday ...A waste of money!! Never again... read more

It was our first time here and we would definitely come back!! Food was ABSOLUTELY delicious and fresh. I can't even recommend the lemon butter mahi mahi/shrimp/scallops more than me say "yummmm get it". All the grilled fish is recommended. Service was nice even though it's a little busy. Our server Joe was so sweet! Thanks for a nice delicious dinner. We will be back. read more

This Bonefish in Paramus is one of our go-tos & favorites. The food is always excellent. We *always* start out with a Bang Bang Shrimp app. They change up the food & drink menu just often enough to keep it interesting. We went there Sat. afternoon Feb. 29 ( I think) & were seated in the dining room. Four of us including our 8 month old grandson. By some quirk, no one came around to get us started for about 10 minutes. Didn't matter to us as we weren't in a hurry. The manager, Joe, came over and apologized for our wait. I could tell that it bothered him more than us and it was great seeing a manager that was genuinely concerned about how his customers are treated. We shared some friendly conversation and then had a great meal as usual. Thank you Joe. read more
