The food was okay... I had the fried fish and it was cooked properly just was not seasoned well and the okra which was over seasoned. The collards were okay but nothing I'd go back for. Overall the experience was just okay I'm in no rush to return. read more

This business does NOT answer their phone! Even if they have no customers. Fish is decent, sides just ok. Customer service is meh, no welcoming smile from cashier. read more

I've seen this place for a few years but didn't know what it actually was, and when I learned it was a fish fry place I was eager to give them a try because I love this kind of food, and usually only get it when I happen to be in Hemet and passing by The Fish Hut. Sadly, my first time dining here couldn't have gone much worse. If it had been good, I'd be eating here regularly. It was about two or three months ago, and apologies that I'm just getting around to review it. The one good thing (at least for me) is that I ended up discovering Luna Grill next door, and now I eat there a couple of times a month. In a nutshell, the problem was the food, and I realize that one visit may not be truly representative of their product. But let's get into the details: It was a lot of money. I spent almost $80 on that visit for my family and I didn't get a whole lot of value for it. I got some combos and tried a lot of different things: fish, shrimp, fries, hush puppies, macaroni, and rolls. It's bad when the rolls are the highlight. It was a long wait, but I sort of expected that. I did make sure to emphasize that I wanted the fries to be made fresh to go and made last because I had to drive it home and wanted them to still be hot. I do this all the time at Dave's Hot Chicken, whose fries are very similar but is actually even farther from my home, and they're always good as long as I hurry. The problems: --This fish (iirc the sole) was paper thin and badly overcooked. I also got some snapper and it was a little better. Fish is supposed to be flaky and moist, but this fish was crunchy and dry. I've never had it like that before- it was almost inedible but for how much money I paid for it. I don't recall the shrimp being too bad. --The mac was just okay but nothing special and a little dried out. I might have been willing to get that again. The fries (I got two orders as sides, making it a large part of my combos) were not freshly made per my request. Or if they were, they made them fresh but then they sat for a long time while the fish was still cooking. Thus, by the time I got home they were cold, limp, and no kidding went straight into the garbage. --Finally, the hush puppies were so burnt to a crisp that you could literally break a tooth trying to bite into one. I would literally be up on battery charges if I threw one at somebody- like a literal rock. That to me just said it all, because no responsible person could look at that and serve it to someone. This isn't Taco Bell where it's expected they don't give a shit. Overall, it wasn't good and mos def not worth half of the $80 paid. Alas, I didn't want to give up on them entirely based on one failure. Perhaps it was just a bad day or a new cook- who knows? Rather than leaving them a bad review straight away, I decided to call them near the end of the business day and let them know how we felt about the food. Give them a chance, and if they believe in their product and that this is an isolated incident, then they may want to work something out and get me back into their restaurant as a new customer who may become a regular patron. At the minimum give me some future credit for some of the items that we were unhappy with. To my lights, that would be smart. Gets me back inside, and I'd be obliged to order more food along with whatever they comped. The call unfortunately didn't go that way. I asked for the manager and explained to her that it was my first visit, that I placed a large order, and I wanted to give her some direct feedback. I told her what I just told you, but in a nice and non-confrontational way. Her reply to what I said was to thank me for letting her know, and sorry that my first experience wasn't what I expected. Well okay, then I guess it's also going to be my last experience there as well and I now know not to waste any more money here. I'll have to keep going to Hemet for my soul food fix. My recommendation to any reader who gets this far is buyer beware because they probably won't make things right if you are dissatisfied. They must be doing pretty good if they can afford to do business that way. read more

Usually have no problem. But today food was cold, only four shrimp on the salad with overload on lettuce Was not informed they were out of cornbread which is awesome I'm homebound so I will call next time and make sure I am getting what I ordered read more

Corn bread horrible 7 up cake dry and horrible candy bar cheesecake horrible dinner rolls horrible peach cobbler a total soggy mess hush puppies taste like rubber filet of sole all grey inside and mushy not cooked enough .. bringing this food Back tomorrow for a full refund read more

Sorry this post is a week and a half old... Soooo.... What can I say? Still sitting here waiting for my food ONE HOUR LATER and still waiting!!! How does this place stay in business? I was so excited to try this place too!!! Wow!!! Are you kidding me? How? There is a whole restaurant sitting, waiting for their food!!! How? I don't get it!!! If this was a sit down restaurant then fine, but this is a fast food restaurant, did no one teach them how businesses are ran? Sorry, until you figure this out, I can't come here again. I think they are still trying to catch the fish. One person walked in, looked around, wondered why no one had food and all the tables were taken. read more

First time coming here , the food was delicious. The restaurant was clean and neat . My friends and I met the owner and she was very personable and sweet . I will definitely come back again . read more

Recently, we ate at this establishment. We've luved in the area for approx 20 yrs. At first glance, the restaurant was clean and a constant stream of customers came throughout our visit, so the atmosphere seemed ok. The cashier seemed a little annoyed at doing her job (taking orders). She wasn't friendly at all. The food was pretty good but the portions are small for the money paid. Food was pretty good as far as taste. Given the attitude of the cashier and money paid vs. portions served...I don't think we'll be back. read more

Enjoyed the vibes. The energy. The food was absolutely outstanding. Came across this place looking for Luna grill. It's phenomenal!! read more

We placed an order for pick up & live about 15-20 mins away. The food was still fresh & hot when we made it home. Catfish Po boy - It had a little too much going on for me & had a weird taste. Not sure if it was the chipotle mayo or the lettuce choice. But I ate the catfish by itself & it was good. Red Snapper Po Boy - my husband enjoyed his sandwich The peach cobbler & sweet potato pie was delicious. I didn't try the banana pudding because it was a little too watery for me but my husband enjoyed it. I will for sure try them again but just fish no sandwich. read more

First time visit with my mom for dinner. I forgot to get a photo of her grilled salmon with peppers and onions but both meals were delicious and a good size portion. We definitely have leftovers for tomorrow. She also had the red beans and rice and collard greens. They were great too! The young lady that helped us was pleasant and very thorough with showing everything she gave us was in our order. They have a large television to watch and had Thursday night football on prime showing which was great. They have several tables to sit at and enjoy your meal. The only thing I found odd was no drink fountain so you have to purchase a bottle but they had a good selection. I am sure we will be back again. read more

First time going to this establishment was not real happy portion size was child size. Was fairly good tasting, but for the money that I spent portion size was very small. Would not go back. Was so excited about trying this place. I wish I took a picture of size of fish read more

Food was great. We were the only ones for about 15 minutes and then many people walked in to dine or pick up orders. Low playing music in the background. Tables are clean and the staff were friendly. Coleslaw is average, nothing different from what your local grocery store sells. Potato salad was okay, I love pickles, but this had too much for me. Also, they do not have a fountain drink machine. Bottled water and sodas are kept refrigerated behind the counter for sale. read more

Great location for some southern-style seafood. We stopped by on a weekend and noticed it was pretty empty. The tables were neat and clean, and it doesn't seem to get very busy. Most people we saw were there to pickup orders. We didn't order ahead but did ask for takeout. We did the fish, shrimp, and oyster family meal for $59. We got a pretty big box of food that felt worth it. We chose the Cajun catfish filet and red snapper for our two choices of fish. The oyster tasted great fried. My absolute favorite were the shrimp and fries (one of the sides we picked). I would go back just to order even more of the shrimp! The meal came with two sides (we chose fries and cole slaw). The fries were amazing with the seasoning. The coleslaw was a nice, refreshing side to the fried fish. We also got 4 dinner rolls and 4 pieces of cornbread. The dinner rolls seemed like the general Hawaiian bread, but the cornbread was nice and warm and crumbly. The serving staff was patient with us looking through the menu and taking our orders. We waited maybe 15-25 minutes after ordering to take the food home. I'd definitely like to come again, especially for the shrimp! read more

The food is good well seasoned and they give nice portions. They have fried and grilled options.

What kind of burnt, bottom of the pan macaroni and cheese is this??!! They should REALLY be ashamed of themselves for serving this poor excuse of a side dish.......so I call to complain and was told it's supposed to be brown because it's "Cajun Mac and cheese"......that's odd because it sure doesn't say that online! Let's compare what I received to the businesses online menu pic. Do you see even a slight resemblance because I DO NOT!!! read more

When this place opened up, the food and service was exceptional... then I ordered yesterday for my daughter's birthday and it changed. The fish was still exceptional, however, the red beans and rice were old because the rice was crunchy, the banana pudding was soooo old it had formed a skin on top, and the slaw was old and soggy and the fries tasted like it had been rewarmed or refried. I was truly disappointed and especially since I paid $125 dollars for the meals. I should have known when I ordered at 3:45pm and they said it would be ready at 4:30pm and when we got their at 4:30 we still had to wait because it was not ready, and the place was empty of customers. Very disappointed. I don't think I will return. read more

The fish, shrimp and oysters were delicious, but the deserts (banana pudding and peach cobbler), which is made be a third party, were awful and Fishbone wouldn't take responsibility for the items they sale and were quite defensive about what they sale in their establishment. This will be my last visit to the place, I'm very disappointed with how they responded to my complaint. read more

This review is actually abput the order itself (driver). My order arrived wet and inedible. I tried to reach UberEats, but the platform is not working, there is no contact phone number,so I can get a refund or a re-make. My last option was calling the resturaunt, where I spo to Parker. He would try to make me whole but cound't promise anything. Rest assured I will NEVER use UberEats again. read more

Food was delicious, service, friendly polite. Small dining inside, but, plenty of space outside

This place is a hot mess. I've gone there even though people have said they are horrible and there fish is slimy. I went to get my husband some fried JUMBO shrimp (x2 different times) and they did the same thing. I paid $30 for the 20 shrimp meal and they charge xtra for jumbo. But each time they gave me medium shrimp. This last time I took it back told them and the young girl (she said she was the mgr) Zoey. Argued with me about the shrimp. I told her to refund me but I will never come back there again. If you like to be taken advantage of then go. If you are like me fry it yourself or find another place. read more

Ignore me when asked for hep to receive my order Terrible delivery service and manager was very rude when handing me my food

Came by today for daddy daughter lunch and it was pretty good but they might need to tighten up a few things for consistency. I ordered the fish(snapper), shrimp(grilled) oysters(fried) with Mac and cheese and rice and beans for sides. The oysters tasted pretty good and seemed fresh but all the fried items were a bit over cooked and the batter on all the fried items seemed to be too heavy handed with the black pepper. The rice and beans had the heavy pepper and with the items being over fried it had a salty taste to it. I'll give them another try to see if it was an off batch. The service was good and pretty quick. Maybe 10 minutes after order completed. Looking forward to try again. I'll update review after next visit. read more

Mac and cheese was missing cheese and the mac was soggy. Rice and beans had no flavor and the rice was hard The oysters and the shrimp were missing batter and soggy and the filet of sole was soggy. The catfish filet was fried good and seasoned right but it tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. the fries were soggy and cold the okra was salty. The customer service was awesome but the food was a big no. Waited over 30 minutes which is no big deal but the food should of at least came out hot and fresh. Won't ever come back, gotta be honest. read more

If you have the taste for some seafood. Go to Fishbone in Menifee. I got the fish (cat fish) and shrimp combo with 2 sides yams, red beans and rice. Everything was seasoned well. I was greeted by a very nice lady the service was good. It's also a nice place to eat your food inside. I got my food to go. The food is delicious. Take your friends and family. Enjoy some of the best seafood in Menifee. read more

I'm glad to see a southern restaurant in town and my order did not disappoint. I ordered the fish and shrimp combo, it was enough food to split. I chose the fried snapper and my sides were red beans and rice and greens. The fish and shrimp were spot on, good flavor and a nice thin crispy layer, not greasy. The shrimp were good as well. The red beans had nice amount of andouille and were well seasoned. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the greens. They were cooked well but a little flat on flavor. Seemed like they were seasoned with black pepper and not much else. I like my greens cooked with garlic onion and smoked ham hocks. My combo was $20 with tax but the quality was awesome and the portions were very large. I hope to see this local Business do well and get rewarded for their hard work. read more

My tilapia fish was suppose to be fried, tasted like it was baked in the oven. Seasoning just fell off the tilapia fish & shrimp. 1st time experience & not going back. I gave 1 star because onion rings were good. read more

I ordered grilled red snapper and greens. Everything was perfectly seasoned and fresh.

I visited with my nephew today and was blown away by the fish & shrimp combo (with red snapper). My nephew ordered the catfish and shrimp w/mac n cheese and French fries. The seafood was fried to perfection and I enjoyed it with multiple dips (tartar sauce, malt vinegar, ketchup and hot sauce). I don't eat a lot of carbs bit their Mac n cheese was done the way it should be (southern style). It was reminiscent of the cooking of church sisters after services. The French fries were well seasoned and tasted as if they were prepared with fresh oil. The staff is friendly and efficient our food was brought to our table like pronto. In addition to the combo which includes two sides, the meal comes with two small hush puppies and a soft n fresh dinner roll. I'm from out of town, but whenever I make it back to Southern California, a stop by FISHBONE Seafood in Menifee is an absolute must. My nephew and I were so happy with the food that I had to share. This place is something special! read more

Got the cajun catfish, it was delicious. Very very disappointed in the redbeans & rice and collard greens. No flavor at all.....Aj's fish market or sharons creole restaurant collard greens puts this place to shame. read more

It was empty when my husband and I walked in, very clean and inviting, loved the music on the tv playing.. This is our first visit. We were immediately greeted by a tall young man. We were looking at menu, the gentleman informed us when we were ready to just ring the bell. We rang , we ordered wait time was average about 15 mins. Food was hot and fresh very well seasoned. We had catfish filet , filet o sole red beans, mac n cheese, yams , cornbread, and a sweet potato pie. It had a down gone southern flavor it was filling. We will return as to try more desserts, sides and a few more entrees. One con I wish the location was more visible from the streets. It's in the Sprouts parking lot on the left hand side in the back. Check it out!!! read more

This place is a big disappointment when comes to southern style food. I don't know who thought they could cook in a restaurant, but this is not it. It's sad because when I heard it was opening here in our area, I was excited, expecting good quality tasting dishes. But that wasn't the case . I was even giving them the chance to improve and stopped by with hopes of having a good dish. But I'm still hoping on going there with hopes not to be disappointed. read more

So the oyster lunch is 2 hush puppies, a yeast roll and about 6 fried oysters. I got a sweet potato pie too. I'm not biased since I didn't grow up eating southern food. The red beans and rice are better than Popeyes and has some sausage in it. The oysters were crisp and breaded and seasoned well. Overall, food is supposed to taste good and to me it all tasted good. read more
