Bonfire Mongolian Grill has been one of my favorite spots for years. I used to come here all the time before COVID, and one of the things I loved most was being able to build my own bowl exactly how I wanted it. After the pandemic, it changed for a while, and it just wasn't quite the same. I moved to Atlanta, GA in 2020, and this is my first time back. I was so happy to see that they're operating like they used to! Being able to customize your own bowl again makes the experience so much more fun, and the food is just as delicious as I remembered. Everything was cooked perfectly, fresh, flavorful, and packed with meat and veggies. read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Food has always been good but the service is better than it once was. The service was awful a little while back. Now if the Asian lady would stop slick following customers up and down the bar while they're fixing their food and speaking in Chinese as she's looking at them, the world would be a better place. Otherwise, everyone else is great! The young ladies that take the orders and push them out are wonderful! Overall pretty good feeling energy. Just not while the Asian lady walks around behind the bar talking mess in her native language. read more

Super good food. Completely recommend. Ladies running the cashier spot were not nice. By any means necessary. So definitely go and get some nice food. The amount you get is completely enough. Super clean and well maintained as well. read more

First visit in several years - You're greeted at the counter to select your options and pay-and the iPad wants the tip. I hate that at counter service places. But-select your ingredients for the size bowl you have and they cook/grill it fresh. I had a regular, my wife a small (add egg and yum yum sauce.) Almost $40 for lunch for 2. It can be a balancing act to fill your bowl-they let you stack as high as you can. They bring it to the table. The food was good, tasty, and hot. Good selections of meat, seafood, chicken, vegetables, sauces and spices. $40 for lunch is the new $20, inflation. Went at 1230-no crowd on a Tuesday. read more

Great atmosphere and food. They were super helpful and accommodating in helping my husband with an allergy

This is a unique restaurant. You order your bowl size and whether you want rice or noodles first. You can also choose whether or not you want an egg on your bowl. You then proceed to a table with meats and veggies. You put as much as you want of these in the cup they give you. You can also add sauces or seasoning. At the end you place your cup on another table and go sit down at your table. From there they take it and mix with the rice or noodle of your choice and cook it. They put it in the bowl size that you had picked in the beginning and bring it to your table. The staff was helpful and friendly and it was a great place for our fairly large group to sit and just enjoy being with each other. Since we basically chose our own food we were all able to have exactly what we wanted. It's a fun and different experience. We all enjoyed our food here and the portions even for the kids size are very large. I would definitely go here again. read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - a bowl of food and a drink - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

I've been to a lot of Mongolian food restaurants, but this place is worse than any place I've been. First, the meat that supposed to be frozen until cooked, is raw at room temperature just sitting out until someone wants it. 2 white girls just mope around other damn cell phone until someone walks in. Cooks act pissed off, like it's our fault they suck. Menu really doesn't have much to choose from. moo alcohol! Messy, which is hard to understand why. No customers, I was alone in the place, if that any clue to how bad it is. Can't say much as for flavor, different things make what you pick. It taste good, but we'll see if I get sick in a couple days. I won't go back. Needs the health department to shove some fines up the management's ass, then maybe they'll be better, but I'll never know until they're closed permanently!​ read more

I have went to Bonfire Mongolian Grill multiple times and am pleased every single time I go. It is a little bit different as you are creating your own original dish, but it's fun as you throw everything in to the bowl and see what the end result is. Don't think too much that everyone with unwashed hands is hovering over raw meat and grabbing it with tongs as they put it in their bowl. Something that some people may not realize, is that you can overfill your bowl. You don't have to stop at the 'top' of the bowl as you fill your bowl. Just as long as your items don't fall out of the bowl - you're fine. Food is delicious and the fiery alcoholic drinks are definitely different. Glancing over the reviews, I've never had any problems with the service. Service expectations should be the same as if you were at buffet, give me empty bowl and my drink - and drop off my check. The only thing I would change, is that they are closed for a brief hour during lunch time, believe it's around 3PM - so if you're looking for a late lunch, you might have to look elsewhere. read more

Food tasted ok.. till I got home!! Then it hit. Service was terrible. No one seemed to want to be there. Sat around playing on their phones. First and last! read more

Service was great. Appetizer was horrid. The sauce didn't go well with the PRE-frozen pre breaded shrimp (think sea-pak quality). Crap food imo. The grill is a crap shoot. You will not fit much in your tiny bowl and of course your meal Is depending on you choosing the right combination of seasoning & sauce. I've been to places like this in early 90's- they had recipe boards to achieve flavors you know. This is just a gamble. I don't know I would come back. It's just so confusing. And to risky if you hate what YOU choose. read more

Great service, friendly environment. Food was tasty and fresh. Thank you to our server today.

This place it's the worst. We ordered three plates regular, medium, and large the three of them came the same portion size, the noodles was very dry and the portion of the meat is so small. the three orders cost us close to $60. I will never order here again. read more

This place was pretty good. I like that you get to pick any toppings you'd like for your bowl and it was delicious! Tables you dine at were a little sticky so that was kind of gross but we came close to closing time and we didn't feel rushed at all. read more

This place is amazing! Great choice of proteins and veggies to make your base and lots of sauces to customize your bowl. Getting the egg is always a good choice and here's a pro tip, do your veggies first and then anything frozen, then use the raw meats like chicken, beef, or pork kalbi on top to hold everything together. Enjoy your meal! Maybe we will see you there. read more

Excellent service, nice atmosphere, cute patio, delicious food, good portions! What's not to love? This place made a great first impression and we'll definitely be back! read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - Lo mein, brown rice, Mongolian beef and Korean BBQ pork - delicious! - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

In the mood for some awesome Asian food? The Bonfire Mongolian Grill in Clarksville, TN is the place to experience it. No reservations necessary. This restaurant on Sunday, March 12th was slammed. Our birthday party consisting of eight very hungry people arrived in separate cars. This was my first time to eat here. So many choices of starches, meats, seafood, fruits, sauces, and seasonings to choose from. I'm extremely sensitive to MSG. When we placed our order I was assured there wasn't MSG in anything served. I ordered the small brown rice bowl. I chose fried calamari as my appetizer with the sweet chili sauce. For my entree, I filled up the bowl with my vegetables and fruits of choice. I chose plum sauce and chipotle, chili pepper seasonings. Ice water was my beverage. The fried calamari was absolutely perfect! The bowl calamari rings and bay scallops were awesome! A family member had baked and brought a Black Forest Cherry cake for the birthday man. (My first born. When I buy my own car, I definitely will eat at this restaurant again. I couldn't believe how much delicious food I ate plus leftovers to eat the next day. read more

Ok now I believe that like osha or something should be checking this place out like I think there meats are not kept cold enough or something the first time I ate there I was soooo sick I'm thinking ok it could be something else nope I ate there 1 more time and got soooooooooo sick like sweats and everything else u don't want to imagine I know I had food poisoning both times please be careful when eating here proceed with caution lol I'm just saying read more

Ehhh. Will not go back unfortunately. The business doesn't feel like a restaurant or inviting. The place is filth. This place has made headlines in the news before. The fountain machine is nasty. I still have a weird after taste in my mouth. Place just seem sketchy. read more

Food is great! Service is well just service. Unfortunately the entire place is filthy! Raw food smeared on the counter. Tables are sticky and the floor as well. It kinda makes you think you are playing the food poison lottery. read more

I've been here twice and I'm a fan of what they got going on. I like the feeling of being in control of your meal, and having a new flavor when I mix things up. Now here's a problem that I experienced both times I came here. The bowls they gave me to fill with ingredients were dirty both times. I would check them once you receive them. Other than that, the food and experience is unlike any other. read more

I've watched service and quality diminish in a 2-3 yr span. Cross contamination is a huge problem here. To top it off there is a filthy rug adjacent to the line where all the raw food is and I watched a worker take it and waft it off standing right next to the food, I reported my concerns to the manager on duty and she simply said, "I will talk to my team" all the while paying customers were gearing up to start plating that same food, it would have been a disservice to not tell them knowing what I know, it was their first time there and they even mentioned "this place looks kind of dingy" they ended up leaving of course. This place asks for a tip up front but completely neglect cleaning tables, mopping floors, and cleaning debris. Carelessness and bare minimum service is what they're serving up for you folks. read more

Bonfire is my favorite restaurant in all of Clarksville. I love how you can create your bowl with as much or as little food as you want. Staff is always nice and welcoming and greets you with a smile. read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - a bowl of food and a glass of water - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Food is always amazing! But the service is absolutely horrible. The servers are always on there phone. Don't bring you silverware after you ask them for it 10x. They might leave your drinks on the bar while they go and talk or eat their lunch in the back. Management needs to set up and set some rules for their employees because they suck! read more

I've never been a huge fan of Mongolians grills as I always seem to get an upset stomach afterward; but my husband really likes them so I decided to give this one a try. I like the idea that you choose what size bowl you want and the starches you want are not added in until the end when the food is put on the grill; so the bowl is only filled with as many meats/veggies that you want. The customer service was phenomenal, did not have to wait once for a drink to be refilled. And on a high note; I didn't get an upset stomach! We will definitely be going back!! read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Yummy. It's about time I tried this place out. Went a couple weeks ago and didn't really know what to expect. It's a really open space and I was kind of confused. I thought it was a buffet by the line on the right. Either way we got sat and handed our menus. I was even more confused when I saw the menu because it was so little. Luckily, our server was nice and explained it to us. You pick the size bowl you want. You pay by the bowl size. Then you go to the "buffet" line. You fill your bowl up with whatever you want. First is meat and then veggies. The rice and noodles get added by the cooks. Once you fill your bowl up you set it at the end with your ticket. Then go sit down. They'll cook it and bring it to you. I got the small and it was a hefty portion. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back read more

Used to be great for the first few years they were open, but it's definitely gone down hill. Food quality, customer service, cleanliness.. it all sucks now. read more

Well, the wait is over and Bonfire is finally open! Not really much to write about here though. Good was good, a pretty good selection of sauces as well. We started off with the shrimp and crispy green beans appetizers. Both were served with their version of the famous Yum, Yum sauce. The beans and shrimp were very good..cooked extremely well and crispy. The Yum, Yum sauce was heavy on the horseradish. I filled my extra large bowl with beef and shrimp as my protein while my wife chose chicken and shrimp. We both selected the lowmein noodles. My veggies of choice were mushrooms (thankful that they were fresh), onions, and bean sprouts. I topped it all off with the Siracha Bourbon sauce. My wife added opinions and zuchinni with a mixture teriyaki and Thai chilli sauces. Both meals were prepared quickly and brought to our table. Everything tasted very good, but I don't think it's worth an extra star to bring my review to 4...If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, but I can't. I think you can pretty much get the same thing at most Chinese buffets here in town. I would definitely recommend it to others though because I think everyone should try it for themselves. read more

This spot is so delicious! I don't usually for Mongolian but after the first time I been begging for people to come back with me and WE DID!!! We also tried the their Dracula Margarita and it was so GOOD! Our waitress was a sweet girl who was super attentive, wish I could remember her name!! She worked our booth in the right corner parallel the bar... I had the Hocus Pocus shirt and hair in my bun. 10/24 around 1:30-2:00pm... Any way, they have a great hand hygiene practice and are a clean location! Food was fast and hot, DELICIOUS! Will harass my friends to go again! Lol read more

Food might be okay, but the service was so terrible we walked out. We requested a table outside and were promptly told that we would have to wait since the server was double sat. Normally, I'd be very understanding, but she had two tables total... we wait 15 minutes and the hostess got so behind on seating tables that us and three other families were waiting to be sat and then she disappeared again. Nightly drink specials aren't going to help this place survive. A decent wait staff and hostess to actually seat paying customers would definitely help sales on a Thursday night. read more

This place has some good food however they have increased their prices and made a lot of things self service. However they still are asking you for tips for there staff. I still patronize this restaurant but not as much as I did in the past read more

I was a bit skeptical eating at the Clarksville location as I've tried the Hendersonville location and wasn't exactly happy with their cleanliness. The Clarksville location came through for me. It was clean and there was no cross contamination in the food bins ( I didn't see meat chunks in the chicken or vice versa). The service has been good. I've gotten the same waitress the last 2 times and she is friendly and attentive. The food is good. My go to is a regular bowl. I add some broccoli, onions and mushroom. I then go to the meats and add some chicken and as much Mongolian Beef as the bowl will hold. I've tried the Mongolian Pork and am not a big fan, the meat is a bit tough after it's cooked. As for sauces, I use half stir fry and half teriyaki. I've also tried the gyoza and spring rolls here. They are decent, so order them if you are really craving it, otherwise I'd pass. read more

I'd give this place a 2/10. It is over priced for what you get, extremely dirty, and the employees lack any sort of customer service. The lady behind the bar was on her phone from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The cashier was OK but too busy watching TV to say goodbye or even acknowledge us. Other than 1 other lady we were the only customers in the building. There was food on the floor, counters were wet and sticky, tables hadn't been properly cleaned (crumbs and leftover food behind the napkin dispenser), food and crumbs on the seat, food/sauce dried on the wall, and under the soda machines was gross. Literally no one was cleaning anything. Back home Mongolian Grill is all you can eat for one price. You could have as much meat and veggies as you wanted, sides of white rice or vegetable fried rice, wraps etc. There were no extra sauces (hoisin, teriyaki, peanut etc) or sesame seeds etc. Pretty bland and flavorless. We were quite shocked at how different it was to what we were used to....which we can roll with the changes but not the lack of employees working while the restaurant is dirty. read more

Haven't eaten here in about 2 months. They changed things and not for the better. The first person you meet is the cashier......most annoying person I have meet. He wouldn't stop talking long enough to take our order. Then we get our food and you now have to pay for yumm yumm sauce. One waiter told me 2 dollars then another waiter told another table 55 cents. Cant get there prices right and it's not on there menu telling you it's extra. Never coming back. Plus it's all self serve and they ask for a tip...really. You don't leave a tip at a fast food places. read more

Bonfire Mongolian Grill - Regular bowl with Mongolian beef and lo-mein/rice - Mongolian Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Really enjoyed the meal. Was a lot of fun putting together my bowl and was quick to the table.

We get that restaurants are struggling from Covid effects with lack of staff, etc but this was a communications and food fiasco. We drove 25 miles to eat there. We come in and were told to pick a table and we sat down. A half hour later we find out there were NO servers and now everything was "get it yourself" because they got rid of all the servers. Fine but TELL Your customers! The food was watery. The bathroom was dirty and I couldn't fit my walker in the handicap stall, making me struggle to get to the toilet (that's ok guys, I'll let the county know you are in violation of the ADA for you!). Finally, as soon as we got our food the young lady informed us they closed in a half hour. Basically, eat and go, which would have been ok if we didn't LOSE a half hour waiting on the front end! I won't come back just because it was so unprofessional to do that to a customer. read more

It's sticky here. The floor was greasy sticky... you know the situation where your shoes tend to slide a little on the floor only to peel away for the next step. The self serve sauce pumps are sticky too with whatever Joanne Q Walmarter and her kids has brought with them to the restraunt . The food isn't bad, really. And surprisingly enough, we all managed to not get sick. It is a little on the expensive side, so if you don't mind paying high prices for mediocrity, then this place is for you. My recommendation for you Bonfire, Polish up on the food safety and housekeeping. read more

The food itself was actually quite good! But the restaurant was extremely dirty throughout Dusty, cobwebs! We almost turned around at the very entrance. The restroom stank to high heavens! Cleanliness is extremely important to us when we dine out, and we won't be back to the Hendersonville location. That's a shame because we really did enjoy the food! read more

My first visit here, I didn't really care for it. Found it super different from all the other places I've ever been to and I grew up eating Mongolian grill. Gave them the benefit of the doubt since we are in Clarksville after all. I got the lo mein like noodles for my starch. Usually do a mix of steak/pork/shrimp. With mushrooms, onions/green onions, broccoli, zucchini, and etc. The sauces and bowl sizes are very small and they don't have the general type of soy/teriyaki sauce, they don't have chili oil either, and most of there sauces are thick which I've never seen before. The portion comes out ok, but $15 for a large and you still only get the tiniest bowl in the world? I've honestly never used a bowl that small from any place I've been to. Seems like they have a lot of workers but no one ever cleans the area where customers make their bowls. It'll probably be more worth it to do the all you can eat, than take out. A for the effort but much improvements needed. read more

I was a little unsure; but, it was great! 1- You choose a bowl size. 1a - choose up to two add ons (Rices or noodles). 2- Fill the bowl with all that is at the bar (kinda like a salad bar) - put as much in it as you can. 3- Place your sauce(s) in a small container. 4- Place both containers and the ticket at the end of the bar. 5- They cook it up and bring it to you. I highly recommend this place!! read more
