So I work nearby Bonefish, and generally stop by after my shift for a drink at the bar, and usually just order an appetizer. The food, I would say, is corporate and predictable, but good.They can be relied upon for a good plate of Oysters, or some Ahi Tuna. These are things that are difficult to mess up. I do have a soft spot for their calamari, it is a lighter presentation than you normally see, and comes with a nice sauce. Bar staff are awesome. I come by sometimes just to shoot the rag with them, or if there is a hockey game playing. I haven't done a sit down meal, but if the wait staff are as competent as the bar staff, and no reason to assume they aren't, I expect good service. Vibe at the bar is decent as well. I usually stop in eightish after running a shift working retail. I want first off a calm space to have a dry martini, write a little bit in my journal, and maybe read a chapter of a book. Usually, though, I also end up striking up a conversation with someone interesting, lots of people end up there passing through the mall, or at least bantering with the barkeep. Overall Bonefish Grill is a very pleasant place, that I sincerely enjoy visiting now and then after a hard days work, for a drink, a bite to eat, and some conversation. I suggest the calamari, it is very good, and when I can afford it the trout is nice as well. If you order a martini they are kind and don't drown the perfectly good liquor in vermouth, which I appreciate. If you sit at the bar, and see someone with a pile of books in front of him and writing in a journal, that is likely me. Feel free to say hi, though I might be cranky until I have had at least one of those martinis. read more

4.5 stars? Well, I guess compared to the other restaurants in the area that may be true. Bonefish is a decent chain if you have no other options. I've always had good food, but nothing mind blowing, as I wouldn't expect from a chain. Consistently good. What wasn't good here? The service at the bar. Dude spent the entire time talking to the regulars and completely ignored me. I didn't need him to chat me up, but he could have asked how my food was or if needed another drink. Disappointing for the service junkie I am. read more

This is a reliable seafood place, even if it is a chain. (Minus one star there...sorry guys.) If you've been to one Bonefish, well, this one is just like it. The food here is well prepared, and the service is top-notch. The menu can be a bit limited, and it doesn't change too much. I'm always a bit suspect of dedicated seafood places that don't vary their menu based on the catch, but such is the life of a chain place. I typically get the Parmesan trout, a nice sustainable fish. (As much as I love Chilean sea bass, it's an eco-no-no.) The wood grilled options are very good as well - I advise trying a few of those with the different sauce options. Extra points are awarded for the seasonal vegetable sides available with entrees. They've been quite good each time. Also, I advise you go with the au gratin potatoes...you won't be sorry. This place gets busy, so make a reservation for larger groups. Expect a short wait at least for parties of any size, especially at dinner. It can get a bit noisy inside...so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quiet dinner. As for price, this is a lower-upper price range (or an upper middle, if you want to get creative). As noted by other reviewers, the tab can get away from you if you get appetizers, entrees, drinks...etc. I suggest you keep it simple - the entrees here are filling as is. read more

Really enjoyed their Chilean Sea Bass! I got the butter lemon side sauce and it went really well with the fish. Recommend this place. read more

Bonefish Grill - Order this Chilean Sea Bass and it was fantastic! It went really well with the butter lemon sauce. Totally recommend this place. - Seafood Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Bonefish used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Things just aren't as good as they used to be. We went in for my birthday with eight people and it was just ok. I'm not in a rush to go back anytime soon. read more

WHERE AND WHY: Ryan and Lindsey came in the day before the Fourth of July! We sat around and hung out at the house waiting for Joe to be done at the lab. After trying to satiate hunger with bologna and cheese and some chips, Joe was finished and we were ready for dinner. Linds had never been to Bonefish Grill and we also needed to hit up the Apple store to try and save her mom's iPhone. So we wandered over to the Lehigh Valley Mall and decided we would do Bonefish! Special thanks to Jill Martin, one of Katie's best friends from law school, for introducing her to this place. THE EXPERIENCE: We went earlier than people our age normally do so we had a table within minutes. In fact, the boys were still parking the car as we sat down to eat! We had fantastic service and the restaurant was actually really nice earlier in the evening (5pm). We had happy hour specials to choose from and the summer drinks are delicious! After a couple of spills thanks to our boys being train wrecks (lol!), we enjoyed a really nice night out on a special holiday. Good friends, good food, and good booze are the key to success for any Brague family outing - and after this weekend, I have to say, I love how my family with Joe is really coming together. (got a cavity from all that sweetness?!) THE FOOD: Linds had never had bang bang shrimp so of course we ordered our favorite thing to start! We were ready to dive in after our above-pictured tropical martinis. The calamari was fantastic, but anything on the table fails when bang bang shrimp is readily available! I had my grilled tilapia with the featured veggie and garlic mashed potatoes as usual. I always get the lemon butter on the side and usually wind up not needing it. My meal was fantastic - I just filled up earlier because of my obnoxious love for the shrimp. Joe helped me finish my plate though! Linds and Joe got Lilly's chicken. They seemed to love it - there was silence as we were consuming our food. Ryan got some sort of surf and turf but proclaimed his love for it - so I take it we had an all around fantastic meal! We couldn't stomach a dessert but I highly recommend the key lime pie... although the S'mores flatbread looked too delicious. TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Bonefish is a great place for fish lovers and those who don't like fish alike. Dieters can still enjoy a meal at Bonefish and the happy hour is amazing! We go during the week on Wednesdays for bang bang shrimp night... even after a bad experience after my bar exam, we still consider ourselves loyal patrons and regulars. Special holidays are a great time at Bonefish and the management at Bonefish will do anything to resurrect a bad experience (I know firsthand) so we trust the service and the food. This particular location in Whitehall is really clean and delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, I strongly suggest it during the summer. Lobster Tuesday looks great if you're into Lobster! CLOVER RATING: I give Bonefish a three-clover rating. Sometimes it's hectic and sometimes you get a bad egg for a server, but the food is consistent and delicious... we are definitely fans in our house! This was also the first restaurant that I ate at when I moved to the Lehigh Valley, so it has a place in my heart. I hope y'all had a safe and happy Fourth of July! Special thanks to Lindsey, Ryan, Barb, Andrew, and Laura for making our Fourth so great! Slainte, Katie For more, please see: http://thelvthymes.blogspot.com/ read more

First time to Bonefish. Overall dining experience was pleasant. Our server was helpful with a rundown of the menu. I enjoyed the grilled Cobia. No real wow factor overall, but no turnoffs in anyway either. It's a solid option for a chain seafood restaurant. read more

My husband and I went to to Bonefish for dinner. My husband ordered the soup and he loved. We shared the bang bang shrimp which was delicious. My husband could find a seafood dish he liked so he ordered the sirloin steak which he enjoyed. I ordered the Tilapia imperial it was too salty almost inedible. 2 bites was all I could eat. The presentation was that of plating at a dinner. The server was ok. I think if we go back it is for the bang bang shrimp. It's worth a try but I would be back in a hurry. read more

Yup. The bang bang shrimp is great. Do yourself a favor and try it. Great service from our bartender, Kate. read more

My friends and I went there for dinner on Friday night and I took a bite of my crab stuffed Tilapia and took bite to a giant shard of glass. Yes the manager came over, yes my meal was comped and no i was not hurt. But overall having a LARGE PIECE OF GLASS inside someones food in completely and utterly unacceptable. I thank god I was not hurt or swallowed this glass. My drinks were not comped, the manager has not called to check on me. I recommend NOT going to the Bonefish in the Lehigh Valley. read more

Everyone at my table got fish tacos but me. Sad trombone. I should have gotten the fish tacos too. I got the orange roughy off the specials menu and I was not a fan. However...the coconut shrimp appetizer was amazing, as was the drink I had. I cannot find it on the online menu but it was a blueberry/raspberry sort of martini drink that had coconut milk in it. Probably one of the best mixed drinks I've ever had. read more

Food awesome !!!!! Service slow... Since it is Valentines Day, I will let them slide. Had the ribeye, wife had sea bass. Both were excellent . Will be back for sure. A little pricey, but we enjoyed so price was not an issue. read more

I have been a Bonefish Grill fan ever since first trying them in Secaucus about 9 years ago. So I was happy to find one here in Allentown. Besides the Bang Bang Shrimp that I always order I tried a sampler this time. In order to get this sample we had to be two - the sampler featured a small Filet Mignon, a small lobster tail and some grilled fish. The food was great but I think for the amount of food we got it was over priced - we could have ordered individual entrees which probably would have worked out better. read more

First time visting and I have to say from the host to the server all the way to the end of our meal was incredible. We will definitely be returning read more

My husband and I went out here for my birthday because we had been given some gift cards to use. Good thing too - our meal ended up being a little over $50 for the two of us. Really not bad though considering the nice ambiance. We started out with the Bang Bang shrimp and they were AMAZING. I don't know what the heck they put in them, but YUM! We also got coconut shrimp which were outstanding and large. My apple martini was very good as well. I got a surf and turf steak and crab cake which were very good. Husband got chicken (I know, I know), but he loved it. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. We both agreed we would be back. read more

Being a chain, my expectations were limited before walking in the door. The Bonefish Grill is located in an addition to the Lehigh Valley Mall and continually has a fairly heavy crowd. The interior of the building is decorated with typical modern chain decor complete with sparse lighting. The service was good, the waitress was continually on top of drinks and additional issues. We started with the Bang Bang Shrimp partly because a friend is always raving about them and they are something that the Bonefish is known for. They were not bad, the flavor was good, but I almost liked the bed of lettuce below the shrimp with the spicy sauce on top. Following the app we both had house salads. The blue cheese on the salad's was great but otherwise the salads were standard. For entree's we got the shrimp/scallops and the Chilean Sea Bass. Both dishes were good but nothing to write home about. The shrimp and scallop dish was nothing above the norm and not advanced considering you are in a place that specializes in seafood. The Sea Bass had good flavor but it again wasn't anything special. Overall, if you are going to a chain, the Bonefish is a solid choice but it is not a place that I personally would frequent. read more

I've been to Bonefish several times and have had great experiences each time. Friendly staff, quick service, great food. Will return :)

The food is great especially the fresh fish options. Drinks are also impressive.. only issue was that we came on a busy Saturday night. Called before we came and was told there's a 50 min wait, no call ahead a or reservations. When we arrived 15 mins later we were told 20 minute wait and were sat in 5. They need to get their wait time quoting together read more

I think this place should be rated higher. The food was great!! One of the better seafood places in the LV. Great ambiance also. Being a foodie transplanted from NYC that's saying a lot. -potential negatives: 1. small portion size (adequate for me) 2. getting my slow but polite waitress (to her defense we were the last table at the end of a long day) . I definitely would come here again! read more

My cousin suggested this place during my visit to philly. I looked at the menu, placed my order to go and decided on the Atlantic salmon pan Asian flavor with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. Man this was really good!! Flavorful and moist! I'd definitely recommend this place read more

Martinis are consistently yummy. Crab cakes are all crab no filler, so light, always leave room for creme brulee!! Good seafood dinner

I went here for lunch with friends today, and had a fantastic experience! My friend and I ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos and they were amazing! Fries are delicious as well. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the menu and explained in detail the specials, and answered any questions we had. read more

Our server was excellent and tried to make sure our order was right. However our salad completely missed the avocado, which was a main ingredient , was completely absent! Otherwise food was good. read more

After the Aci Halal debacle, I ended up coming here to eat. First impressions- nice ambiance, nice sized bar, just dim enough lighting. Sat at the bar, ordered a lovely glass of Riesling, then ordered the signature "Bang Bang Shrimp" appetizer. Houston we might have a problem... It was okay. Just okay. Am I the only person who forgot to drink the cool-aid? It was fine, but nowhere close to the spectacular rave reviews I was reading. But fine, finally tried it - viola c'est fini! Then I wanted to try something else from the menu, just to have a better idea of the food. But problem was I was already full, so I thought something simple veggies or a salad. Ordered the Caesar Salad w/ (and I quote) "house made garlic croutons". The thing here, and this is very important - the simpler the food, the better it should be, because there's not a whole lot of frou-frou to hide behind. The most common test when hiring a chef/cook will be to have them make a simple omelet. Sadly few can. Ah, young grasshopper must learn to crawl, before he can walk. For only then will he know True Kung-Fu. Here, we are let waaay down. A sad pile of half wilted soggy mess w/ sad crouton crumblings - would be a more fitting description. I wouldn't brag about making those croutons in-house. Better croutons can be had for $1.38 per bag at the grocery store. Sadness. A good salad is a thing of beauty, how can you mess up a Caesar salad? Many ways apparently. Anywhoo, the staff was nice if not overly friendly and they missed on a couple of things. In the future, I think I would give Bonefish another shot and try something else off the menu, if there's nothing else better competing for my cravings, that is. Maybe. read more

Very good food, delicious drinks, and amazing service! We ate at the high tables on a busy Friday night. The food arrived quickly and the staff was very attentive to us. It's great for a date night but if you would like one of the regular tables, its best to make a reservation in advance. read more

Good service. Decent meal. Nothing really bad to say about the restaurant. But not much to get excited about. One of those better places to eat by the mall. Did not get a boner from bonefish. read more

Salmon was a little too dry but the tuna bow was amazing. I'd go again. (The price isn't for the weary)

I went here on a slushy day so there was no wait at all and we got seated far from the door so it wasn't cold which I thought was nice. Our waiter was Brian and he was very attentive and nice and recommended a great drink for my mother that I forget the name off but was a great recommendation. I had the beef and ginger potstickers for my meal and they were great, even though they were labeled as an appetizer they're very filling so fine for an entree. The bang bang shrimp was also a favorite as well as the siveche(can't spell sorry). Overall a great time and a new favorite for when we are out in PA, couldn't tell it's a chain at all, great service and food read more

Bonefish Grill - Seafood Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Their House Salad is delicious! I get alternate between getting it with salmon or shrimp.

I went here with a group of friends. Waitresses were very patient with us and very pleasant and friendly! The food was okay. I will say the bang bang shrimp is awesome! I ordered the beef gyoza dumplings which were okay and for my entree I got the shrimp pad thai. The noodles were really chewy. It was not the traditional style. But the bread they serve with the olive oil was delicious! Overall, I'd give this place another try. read more

I called Bonefish around 6 to try and make a reservation for 7. They didn't have any openings until 8:15, but she said the wait was an hour, so we figured I'd drop my parents off so they could wait while I went and picked up my girlfriend. Strangely enough, my parents said they were seated within 10 minutes, despite what the hostess had said over the phone, so they had to wait at the table for a little bit before my girlfriend and I got back. Time problems aside, the experience was pretty good. The inside was much smaller than I had expected from the size of the building outside, but the atmosphere was nice and warm. They listed beer on the menu, without any note as to whether they were from the draft or not, and I ordered a Stella Artois. To my surprise, the waitress came out with a bottle instead. Later, before we left, I took a look at the bar to find they had zero draft beers! Kind of disappointing, in my opinion. The food, however, was very good. I got filet mignon (I'm not much of a seafood person) and a caesar salad, and both were great. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. There wasn't much to pick from for me that wasn't fish, but that's to be expected at a place like this, but, like I said, the filet was excellent, so it wasn't too big of a deal. This probably would be a 4 star, but the lack of draft beers was disappointing, and the hostess's inaccurate time estimate was puzzling. read more

This is the best place for seafood/fish in the area. My fiance is especially picky when it comes to restaurants and he loves it here. The bang bang shrimp are out of this world. The service is always quick and ready to respond. We typically come here every month or every other month. For an appetizer, two sodas and fish plates will cost us $50. The fish is always cooked perfect and the wiped mashed potatoes are amazing. The ONLY thing I don't like is that the seasonal side that you get, I typically don't like it. Make sure to make a reservations! You will have to wait 30 minutes to an hour if you don't have one. Other than that, I wish there were more Bonefish locations. read more

Mall food. What I can say is that the wait staff were better than the last two times and the shrimp didn't taste of ammonia. That's why the three stars. They attempt classy and charge for it, but they ain't anywhere near the Edge or the Mint in Bethlehem. Better than Appleby's anyway, and Denny's . I don't get why people wait in line to eat here! read more

Went here for my birthday with my family and it was amazing. The waitress we had was lovely. She explained the menu well, seemed very educated on it, and just overall a sweet women. The food was fantastic, we basically licked the plates clean lol. We got the imperial dip and calamari to start off and oh my. A foodgasm if I will. Very few foods can make my eyes roll back and these two were one of them. The flavors were immaculate. I personally got the shrimp risotto, it was fantastic as well. We didn't plan on getting dessert but they brought out a cookie with ice cream for my birthday and we weren't going to eat it but once with took a bite. My lord. Even a damn cookie was fantastic. Needless to say I left with a huge smile on my face. read more

This was absolutely absurd. the wait times are ridiculous for seating and for food. sat and waited for 2 hours just to eat, take out was being placed more in demand while people are waiting for their reservations! read more

It's extremely rare that I'll give a chain so much esteem, but... 8+ visits and I have not been disappointed yet. When dining out I really look for a well-rounded experience. I like value, coupons, etc. but for good food I am happy to overlook it. Here, you can eat well for less. Apps are generously proportioned. Bang bang shrimp = yes. Sushi tuna app = yes. Service is consistently good. Food is consistenty amaaaaazing. If I'm at the LVM, I crave this food. read more

Months ago I wrote a lack luster review about Bonefish Grill. Ultimately I felt we weren't waited upon proactively, paid attention to and the food we ordered came out wrong. Well, I gave it another go, not knowing what to expect and wary of having another bad experience. Instead. My friend and I had an incredible experience and the girl who waited on us, I wish I remembered her name, was one of the most attentive waitresses I've ever experienced. It was amazing. We were so impressed, thanks so much Bonefish. read more

Wow ! The food was so good ! One person in the group got a burger and I must say the best burger in the valley!

This is a very good seafood chain restaurant. It offers many fusion dishes that give hints of spices from different parts of the world. The restaurant has a well-decorated interior and the staff is very friendly. The price is a bit on the high end and that is the reason I did not give it 5-stars. Overall, this is a solid choice that many people will enjoy. read more
