We finally had a chance to try Fishbones on Walker Avenue. We were looking for something casual and inviting and what we found was a rustic, engaging vibe at Fishbones. We started out with cocktails. I had a Hendricks dry martini straight up (it was delicious) and my wife had a Don't Call Me Sweetie which is mix of Hendrick's Gin, Lemon, Cucumber, Basil, Simple, Saline 15. It is very citrus heavy, so be advised. She had them cut it with a bit of cranberry to offset the citrus. For main courses, my wife had the grilled salmon and she chose sautéed garlic spinach and wasabi slaw as her sides. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my side was blackened green beans. Let's talk main course first. My wife's salmon was terrific. Flaky and moist and very tasty. My shrimp and grits was unique because it was a real balance between large pieces of shrimp and the grits. Many times you'll order this dish and end up with a pile of grits with some shrimp sprinkled on top. This version is very tasty and a really nice balance of flavors. The Cajun seasonings have it some kick, but it did not overpower. The side dishes are where we had a couple of surprises. First off the sautéed spinach was really delicious, but my wife's wasabi slaw was bland. It's a huge shocker because when you see the word wasabi, you expected to have some Asian kick to it. This did not. It was hard to even identify that it had wasabi in it. That was a disappointment. The surprise was the blackened green beans. They actually were one of the stars of the show. Their flavor and texture was just awesome. We could've ordered a huge bowl of it and eaten all of it. While it didn't need it, there was a dipping aïoli on the side, just in case we wanted to add that to the green bean experience. As I mentioned off the start, Fishbones is a very casual experience. It's very pub-like in that way. We really loved it and the wait staff, which is a team approach as anyone who passes you makes sure you're doing OK, were kind, upbeat and helpful. Even with the bland slaw, we can't lower our rating because overall the experience was terrific. We will definitely come back. read more

I really need to come to Fishbones more often. Every time I come back I'm plenty reminded of how great this local seafood restaurant is. Husband and I popped in for a week night dinner after doing some holiday shopping. It's a small, but very cute place. Can sit at the bar or at one of the high top tables. I enjoy sitting by the fish tank they have toward the back. I love their peel and eat shrimp, so we decided to get a pound as an appetizer. These shrimp are the big guys and I highly recommend asking for the Old Bay seasoning on them. I tried to limit my use of the melted butter (of course yum) which wasnt too hard as their cocktail sauce is pretty darn good. The balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy in their preparation is spot on. For entrees we went with two of their most popular dishes. Hubby ordered the farm-raised catfish. This dish comes with certain sides but you can customize, he got the slaw and blackened green beans. I got the blackened ahh tuna medium rare which comes with your choice of two sides. I went for corn and the blackened green beans. My tuna was perfectly prepared and hit the spot. I received two big half pieces of golden yellow corn. It had nice subtle sweetness. Their blackened green beans are a must try. Perfectly seasoned. The creamy dipping sauce is also delish but tried to limit use. This was a lot of food and very healthy. I left plenty full with no guilt. Everything was superb. The service was also very attentive. No issue getting a table on a weeknight. There is something for everyone on the menu. I've never been able to convince myself to get anything but seafood as their specialty, but they do have options for meat-lovers and even some vegetarian and vegan options available. I bet they are good too. Be sure to look at their Facebook page and website to see their weekly Specials. After you give Fishbones a try you, like me, are going to think you should come more often each time you do! read more

Fishbones is a good late night spot. They have cheap beers and a number of options available for seafood and non seafood eaters. I loved the rooster sauce. The fish and chips were plentiful and came with corn and slaw. Prices are fair. Staff was nice and engaging. This would be nice for a first date. My friends order was wrong but everyone else was satisfied with the experience. read more

A great place to have a cold beer and some sold food...better quality and variety than you probably would expect. Their wings have a Thai flair with hint of lemongrass that is excellent. The twisted chicken has an excellent flavor and heat profile. The cooping is excellent and not something you might think they would have. Wonderful flavor, fresh sea food and great bread for the broth! Lastly, their version of friend oysters are excellent. Great food, comfortable environment, friendly service and a comfortable environment. Give it a try! read more

Today was only my second time here and I asked myself why I don't eat here more often! I love the location right in the hub of walker avenue. The staff were attentive and quick. It is a small charming place that the worn wood look inside reminds me of a cozy fishing dock. The food was AMAZING! I have been craving a rare tuna sandwich and boy did they deliver. It was fresh and sooooooo delicious!!! The cocktail they served me was exactly what I needed after a long shift. I will absolutely be back and recommend others check them out too! They have weekly specials that are amazing, and their bar is nothing to ignore! read more

Found on yelp - giving it a try as we are exploring places in Greensboro. We went early before noon - not many people yet Thai clam - different from what we thought but a very nice surprise- flavorful and very fresh. Fried oyster - light batter and fried just right so it's juicy and crunchy. My son loved the steak burrito - sizable and flavorful The jumbo shrimp is definitely big - side of sweet potatoes tots finish the dish. Nc catfish - taste good but we can use another filet Overall decent flavors. read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you cannot find a better filet mignon dinner in NC for the price. Pre COVID the filet with 2 sides was $15. It's now $24 but we'll worth it. My wife and I usually split the 6oz filet that comes with huge portions of 2 sides. We regularly go with the sweet potato tots and blackened green beans. Everything here is worthy of a much higher price. The quality of their food is exceptional. Also, tell me where else on the planet you can get a 20oz draft of craft beer for $6. The parking can be difficult behind the restaurant but just park to the side of Suds n Duds and walk across the street. I promise you that this will be your new favorite to go place. read more

If I lived in the area, I would be a regular! I could see myself hanging out with friends or going by myself with a good book. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere. The servers were attentive and genuinely friendly. I had and loved the fried bologna sandwich with fries and my partner had the freid catfish. Yep, I am a fan! read more

I come here from time to time and generally end up ordering one (or more) of the specials. Couldn't decide this time so I ordered everything that appealed to me. The grouper fingers were bland, just tasted like fried panko. The sauce didn't help. The salt & pepper catfish along with the beans and rice was very good. The lemon pepper wings with garlic herb butter was amazing!! The garlic wasn't overpowering and it had the perfect crispness. I wasn't expecting it to have a bit of heat/spice but it was perfect. I would definitely eat the last 2 again!! No pics of the wings because I demolished them at home. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim. I skimmed over the reviews and there were more positive, than negatives, so my friend and I gave it a try. Now if I can just remember to take pics next time. I wanted to enjoy the moment with my friend. What we ordered: Fried oysters - 10 out of 5 Sweet chili wings - 10 out of 5 Crab soup - 1 out of 5 Sauteed garlic spinach - 5 out of 5 Catfish sandwich - 5 out of 5 Pros: Good customer service Food arrived quickly Ample outside seating available Oysters lightly battered and fried to perfection! So flavorful. Not salty or over seasoned at all. Just perfecto! Amazing sauces - I tried 3. 1 was too spicy for me. Wings were the best I've ever had in my life and I am the wings connoisseur! Fried to golden crispy perfection with the most delicious sweet chili sauce and a scallion lemongrass dipping sauce that blew me away. It was so good! Spinach was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Not mushy. Fried fish fried golden and crispy. Very flavorful Very nice waitress Cons: Crab soup was not nasty, but wayyyyy too much thyme which, to me, took away the flavor from the actual Crab. None other than the fact that the seats on the inside are very high up as ar the tables and it was too difficult for me to get in the chair, so we sat outside which was much better. Inside seating may pose risks, in my opinion, for disabled/handicapped people. read more

We went to Fishbones a few weeks ago for dinner and sat outside as it was a beautiful night. My husband had the salmon which is enjoyed and I had the fried oysters and shee crab soup. Oysters were delicious, but the soup was over herbed. Service is low key and friendly. Great local spot with delicious food read more

Workers are incredibly nice, food is delicious, they have spectacular specials (that are usually very creative) made by the kitchen staff (who is also really nice!). Outdoor seating is available when the weather allows it. The inside is very well decorated with a nice view of the street corner. Highly recommend. read more

When I order takeout, I normally don't review the place because I didn't stay there long enough to get the whole experience but I can tell you, hands down, this was one of the best takeout experiences I've had in a while. I love how the place is so local to greensboro and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is in town or visiting. I always drove past and saw people on the patio sitting talking and enjoying their lunch and a few weeks ago, I found out why. Here's their secret: the staff is seriously really friendly. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and asked if I needed to be helped, they had a sense of urgency and welcomeness that I really appreciated. The food was a 10/10 for sure! I got the shrimp and grits which was really delicious and my side was the asparagus which I was not expecting to be smoked but it was really delicious nonetheless. The expediency and delivery of my dinner was commendable and I will defiantly dining soon to enjoy the full experience. read more

We were driving through Greensboro and Fishbones looked like a great place to stop for a late lunch on a Sunday. It's seat yourself and had a great casual vibe to it. The menu had a great variety and they clearly listed their specials on the boards around the biz. They had indoor and outdoor seating, it was way too hot for us to eat outside so indoor it was. I got the crab soup which was delicious and had tons of crab in it. I was especially impressed that the price was so reasonable at only $5. We also went with a dozen of the middleneck clams and the catfish bites special of the day. Everything came out pipping hot and fresh. The clams had a great flavor to the broth and came with huge hunks of bread. My husband had ordered extra bread since he didn't realize bread already came with the dish. I wish the waitress would have told us that, but nonetheless their ciabatta was tasty. The catfish bites were super flavorful and a great dish to share. Service was friendly and prices for seafood were super reasonable. We would definitely go back if we were in the area. read more

We've been coming to this unique restaurant for years. The owner is great and is passionate about the food quality and prep. You can get a burger or Cioppino or angus beef quesadillas, and even good Thai specials or poke bowls. Lots of unique creations. The variety is there and everything is cooked very well and the quality is evident. The pricing is very reasonable for what you get. The specials can be quite unique. I had the crab cake tonight and it was nice and tasty. All crabmeat, no filler and a large portion, not fried but pan seared. The salads are nice and their house dressings are delicious. My wife had the fresh tuna on a ciabatta roll. The tuna is always good and a high grade. The patio is nice and could be a lot more with a little maintenance and Clean up. The inside is eclectic and a little retro. Very cool. The staff is always attentive and we always have good service. Great for smaller parties and a casual night out. Great wine and beer selection too! read more

A couple friends have been here before me and highly recommended. We've enjoyed the food across the street at sticks n stones so why not . Very relaxed atmosphere. The service seems to be shared. I asked for a seltzer beer and got a cider. Another server understood, took it away and brought a seltzer. Appetizers were great. Disappointed they were out of the filet but we ordered other stuff and were generally pleased with the food. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I came here on a recent trip to Greensboro and I loved the vibe. It gives me a Cheers vibe with the atmosphere, but with better food. I came with my family and watched the game and got Shrimp & Grits. It was delicious, but very spicy - definitely good if you're looking to clear out your sinuses. We also got the Popcorn shrimp which was also good. My parents got Cioppino and a fish sandwich which were perfectly seasoned. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick and chill place to check out. read more

Found street parking right there and didn't have much of a wait, about 10 minutes for a party of 4. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp, didn't know it came seasoned until after we ordered but we were able to send them back and get seasoned shrimp, which was much better. All of us pretty much had the same comments about our meals that they were bland. The crab soup had entirely too much thyme in it, so much so that's all you tasted. The minestrone soup was well seasoned. All our fish meals were missing something, we reached tasted each other's and said the same thing....all our meals were missing something. The fried Catfish tasted like it had no seasoning other than the salt flakes that were on top. The fries were fresh and nice and crunchy. The rice was okay and beans, can do without, garlic bread was OK. The chicken burrito was really good and had flavor to it, none of us were fans of the white rice and black beans. The drinks weren't bad, I really liked the names of the drinks offered. I was expecting a bit more with the food and was really hoping I would enjoy it. We were initially met and provided our drink and appetizer order to one serve but then we ended up with a young woman who was very friendly and helpful when it came to the shrimp and made the recommendation for the drunken chicken. Very confused on who was our server and who we'd be tipping. This is a small bar that offers food as well as outside seating. Staff was attentive and helpful. read more

The prices on yelp do not reflect, the prices on the menu I order catfish it came out on rice with beans and fries, not the best combo. Service slow but I understand they were short staffed.

Fishbones, in my opinion is one of Greensboro's hidden gems. It has a laidback hometown bar feel with some excellent food. I've been here several times now and it has never disappointed! My favorite go to meal is the House Salad with Steak Filet. The steak is cooked to perfection every time and the salad is always crisp and fresh!!! The house made croutons are delicious as well. (Shhh....I'm not supposed to be eating them but for review sake I had to try them...RIGHT!? You're welcome!) If you're looking for some libations you can also find a nice selection of wines, cocktails and beer here as well. The location isn't very large so get in there early. There are some outdoor tables as well which is perfect for a nice sunny day. The staff is always amazing and helpful. They definitely know how to make you feel welcomed and at home. On our very first visit it felt as if we had been coming here for years. The location is on the corner with some other very tasty locations so make a day of it and try them all :) read more

Fishbones - House salad with steak - New American Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Fishbones (not Bone Fish Grill) in Lindley park is one of our favorite local spots. This is a seafood restaurant featuring salmon, shrimp, oysters, and mole. They also have a killer fried bologna sandwich. Their wings are pretty good too. Tonight I got the special, a blackened salmon ramen bowl. It was super spicy. I don't actually know if it was good but I love the vibe of this place so much it doesn't matter. It's a hole in the wall neighborhood bar / restaurant. The staff are super friendly. We are near UNcG but it's. It's not a college hangout. It's more for the young professional Greensboro version of hipster locals. Have I mentioned this is a neighborhood/ local place? lol! As someone who lives in the neighborhood I actually avoided this restaurant for years. I thought it was super fancy! Well I was wrong. My neighbor said it was quality food and we should check it out. I'm so glad we did. Honestly, this is our most frequented Greensboro restaurant. I can't say that the food is amazing. It's not bad. But idk. It's not like any other seafood restaurant there is. Well at least that I've been to. Imagine an off-the strip 40 year old bar/restaurant in Myrtle beach. But instead of daiquiris they only served beer. And instead of fried seafood everything was grilled. Note: I just saw I reviewed fishbones 7 months ago lol. Clearly I like this place! read more

We went to fishbones for lunch and it was absolutely one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. the restaurant was fairly empty, so when we walked in as a party of 8, they seated us fairly quickly. after being seated, it took the staff about 15 mins to get our drink out which wasn't a big deal. After receiving our drinks, we put in our food order which took them over an hour to prepare. I happen to glance into the kitchen and noticed both cooks were not wearing gloves, they grabbed our salads with their bare hands which is absolutely disgusting. It seemed they microwaved my son's burger patty again not a great sign. The bartenders left a bin full of dirty dishes on the ground in front of the kitchen entry, which one of the cooks proceeded to pickup with his bare hands and then proceeded with preparing our meal once again. As far as the food, the oysters and shrimp looked good but the salad was wilted including the tomatoes, we all left our plates on the table paid for the meal and left. I plan on calling the health department because it's abundantly clear the owner or manager isn't present to ensure their staff meets health department guidelines. I rarely write reviews but I feel like I'd do everyone a disservice not writing a review based on our experience. read more

Ordered: Spring Rolls Drunken Shrimp Wild Salmon Filet Sautéed Garlic Spinach Blackened Green Beans The restaurant is pleasantly placed at the corner of Elam and Walker. Surprisingly I've driven past here many times and did not notice the shops at this corner. Thankfully, since I searched for a new place to tae my father for his birthday, I found Fishbones. Fishbones has both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors where you can either sit at the bar or at one of their high-top tables. The outdoor tables are the typical table height. This is important for someone who may have issues sitting at a high-top table due to any medical/physical limitations. I truly enjoyed the Spring Rolls. I preferred their flavor when dipped into the chili soy sauce versus them alone. I was torn between ordering the Drunken Shrimp or Cioppino. The worker's there recommended the Drunken Shrimp over that. For those you may have problems using their fingers, if you order this dish, you will have to peel your shrimp or have someone to do so for you. The Drunken Shrimp came out steaming hot. The garlic beer broth paired well when dipping the garlic ciabatta bread in it and was flavorful. The bread tasted fresh and I was not disappointed in the broth. There was a good amount of shrimp in the dish and although the broth was flavorful, the shrimp did not soak up those same flavors when I peeled and ate them. I wasn't a fan of the shrimp because I feel lie they needed to either be soaked in their seasoning longer or simmered in the broth longer so that it absorbed some flavor. I thin that would take the dish to a new level of food satisfactory. The worker's there were kind and helpful. I appreciated their help with narrowing down my food choice and that they helped pack up my dish to go due to the broth. My dad's not a big foodie, so all I can share with you all is that he liked his dish! I'll prob try the Wild Salmon Filet entree next time and choose 2 sides. read more

okay instead of a typical review, i'm gonna weave you a yarn based on characters my colleagues and i created while eating gossip lunch at Fishy B's. (if you need a tl;dr, eat here. it has the best caesar salad in GSO, so there.) anyway as a small NE town business entrepreneur (let's effin go Middleneck Mass.!) i'm always in the needs of a bangah establishment where me n my homies can catch up. that's why whenevah big shot J-Bone (aka BB Josh, Lil J-town, J-tro) comes back home from tha city where his big fancy writin jawb is, we send an APB to tha crew and meets up at Fishy B's. frickin Kaybaby--tha mayor of Middleneck herself--even shows. Fishy B's always has her favorite fries and grilled bologna sammy at the ready. my gurl E-train drops by and flexes on some ahi tuna caesar salad that puts all real Caesars to shame (lookin' at you Nero aka Nyko the guy who fixes everybody's zamboni except for Curt's pops god rest his soul at the bottom of Lake Middleneck). anyway we let Curt do his quiet thing with all the best spirits god's green earth has to serve at the slickest bar there is. top of off with ya boi Bobby B's favorite Buffalo wings in town. look the staff is super friendly--maybe not as friendly as town librarian Patty Wideplains is (but who can beat that gem??)--and the service is impeccable. sidle up to the chillest foodhole in all Middleneck (aka Greensboro). read more

Food and service great. However it gets stars taken away because we got the board specials and pricy but not enough food. There needed to be at least 2 more scallops. There were only three for $28.00. I was still hungry. The food was super good but not enough scallops. My friend got the special bowl and very little beef and black beans with a lot of rice. The food, again, is delicious but for price needs more protein. Service was excellent. I will go back because it was so good read more

My word. What an incredible meal. First time at Fishbones and I gotta say I am impressed. We started with their Cornmeal Fried Grouper bites and these things were amazing. The dipping sauce was perfect and the fish was so tender. I had the Scallop and Shrimp Spaghetti with the lemon caper cream sauce. Dear Lord! I could take a bath in the sauce. It wasn't heavy at all (and I mean come on some cream sauces leave a lot to be desired) it perfectly paired with the fresh scallops and shrimp. Chefs. Kiss. I tasted the Shrimp and Grits. Local grits are my love language. Tender. Juicy. Just superb. Thank you for a beautiful birthday dinner. Can't wait to come try more things. Also our sever was amazing.

Always a weekend favorite spot! Nestled in between sunset hills off of Elam is Fishbones. Their menu is heavily seafood based with rotating weekly specials (check their IG for the specials) so you don't miss out! The weather was perfect tonight so we started with a seltzer and voodoo ranger IPA by New Belgium on their beautiful patio. For our meal we started with the popcorn shrimp which included a big portion of shrimp and a few classic sauces. These aren't anything super special but they're cooked well and fresh! For dinner, I got one of the weekly specials which is a blackened red snapper with jalapeño Mac and cheese, corn salsa and roasted brussels sprouts. read more

We giant fans of Sticks and Stones across the street, which owned by the same people, so we felt Fishbones was a safe bet! On our second visit, we met a friend at Fishbones for dinner. We arrived around 5:30, which was perfect timing because by 6pm there was a line of people waiting to be seated. Fishbones is a small restaurant and they do not take reservations, so get there early! We started with the crab chowder and I must say that this is an absolute MUST TRY! So creamy and full of big chunks of crab meat. For entrees our group ordered the Seared Ahi, the angus beef steak, the Ahi tuna burrito, and the Ahi Steak with a side of blackened green beans, sautéed spinach, and jasmine rice. Ultimately, everyone in the group enjoyed their dinners! The only complaint was the Ahi Steak came with no sauce or anything, so because of that and the rice, the whole dish was a little dry and bland. This said the sauce that came with the seared ahi appetizer was delicious, my suggestion would be to offer that as a topping or on the side. We did really enjoy our meal and the ambiance at Fishbones. It reminds me of an old downtown fish house in a big city. We will definitely come back to try more off the menu! read more

Not much. Very small place, loud and the wait was 1.5 hours and counting. About 30 minutes longer than originally told. 2 stars, because we were never seated. But hey, the drink was good.

I have thought about this place many times but never stopped by. So we decided to try it, finally! On a Sunday afternoon it wasn't too packed, very quaint space. The service was good! Glad they offered split Prosecco, my fav!! After several Yelp studies I knew I had to try the drunken shrimp. Order that for an appetizer, very disappointed. It tasted exactly like what it looks like steamed peel n eat shrimp in broth. Not sure if they have changed the recipe but it had no flavor at all and did not look like the previous Yelp photos. I ordered their special for the week/day (not sure how long they stay) for the price it was very tiny. The base I expected it to be rice but their was way more cabbage mix (slaw) than anything. It was ok, once everything was mixed together. The spinach that I had for my side was blamed and was literally, nothing more than just sautéed spinach. I wouldn't get it again. However, my husband made a great choice! The fried oysters were great! The green beans were seasoned well. Nether less if I return, I would definitely get the fried oysters! read more

3 stars for middle of the road opinion. The food was not terrible, the price was just disproportional to the amount of food served. Along with that they choose to make some odd changed to staple foods that questionably work. The ambiance and design of the place was pleasant. I liked the antique feel of the place. The service was okay? The two servers just stood behind the bar most of the time. Wasn't bad but also didn't stand out. read more

One of our go-to places. Ate there last night and the fish and chips were very good. Here's our issue...place needs a thorough cleaning.

We came into town late and this was the only seafood place open, so we gave it a shot. Dive bar atmosphere, and we were the only people there at the time (10pm on a Monday), but we crossed our fingers and hoped.

Everything was flavorful, the staff were friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Small and unassuming spot that's easy to overlook, but the food I had there was fresh made and perfectly delicious! Greensboro has no shortage of great restaurants, but put this one on your list if you get the chance. I stopped in for a beer or two and ended up getting some wings. Not sure if my pic does it justice, but I had to restrain myself from ordering a whole meal because the food was that good! Next time I would plan to go with a game plan to eat a full meal, as this occasion was simply a stop in by myself. I would encourage them to get some better seats though, as these are indeed high up and uncomfortable, especially for a shorty like myself. At one point I just decided to stand at the bar. read more
