Over that last year, this place has gone down. We complained about fruit flies on the last couple of visits. The service was horrible. We won't be returning. read more

Tough, undercooked broccoli. Tough, overcooked lobster tail with little meat in it (makes you wonder if they buy the cheaper, soft shell "shedders" to save money). Little booze in a $12 drink. Thank you for the generous portion of three grape tomatoes in the entree salad. I particularly loved the (seemingly reconstituted) dry garlic mashed potatoes served in the shape of the scoop they came out of the pot in, just like my school cafeteria used to serve them. The chocolate lava cake that seems to have come right out of the same box I can buy at the supermarket next door for considerably less and heat in a microwave. Service was good but the place was empty. No wonder because the menu is becoming more and more limited and the food more and more subpar. Shame because this used to be a good chain but they are clearly trying to cut costs, yet are really not that cheap for what you get. read more

Update, I wrote a review on June 6th., and after recieved a phone call from one of the owners. He was very pleasant and resolved the issue to my satifacttion. In fact I ate there on the 15th., and was pleased with the food and service. Happy customer again!! read more

I ordered curbside and the meal was ready to the minute. The mahi and asp were excellent. An excellent choice for a quick and healthy meal.

While we were enjoying a great dinner, my cousin found a hair under her steak. The manager, Paul, was not apologetic and became defensive. It was one of the worst examples of customer service ever. He never mentioned taking her meal off of the bill. Whatever he is being paid, it's too much. However both the food and the server were both great. read more

Staff was super nice and the restaurant is very cute inside, they have dim lighting which sets a mood! I got the Chilean sea bass with the mac & cheese - the fish could've used some more seasoning but the mac & cheese was AMAZING! My mom got the shrimp and scallops which were even better, the scallops were so good! I would definitely recommend! read more

Here is an often overlooked gem when it comes to Yelping, mainly because Yelp is all about the local businesses, and not so much about the chains. It's true, BF is a chain, but technically it's local. As many people know, BF is a subsidiary of Outback, which began and is headquartered right here in Tampa. And for anyone who passes up on grubbing down at BF because it is a chain, I feel bad for you! The atmosphere here is great, the service is always top-notch and the food is to die for. I've eaten at this location twice. Usually I hit the Dale Mabry locale. On the first visit here several years back, they had just added gulf grouper to the menu, so I ordered it and it was amazing. Wanting to tear into something different this time around, I hooked something from the specials menu. Fire-grilled snapper + shrimp with green beans. I added a side of fire-grilled broccolini to keep the them going, and to avoid going the starch route. The snapper was juicy and perfectly charred on the outside. The taste was out of this world. The shrimp were also good, but served with the tail. I really dislike hot shrimp with a tail. The veggie sides were good as well, especially the broccolini. Definitely worth the upgrade charge. To drink, I had an old fashioned from the bar. The price was right, and so was the taste. I'm a fan and will continue to eat here for a casual date night with La Chica. read more

Great birthday dinner! Made reservations for a Thursday night but don't believe they were needed. Started with lemon drop martinis and they were delicious. I had read about the bang bang shrimp so had to try it and loved the creamy spicy shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. Beware that they do have a kick and I loved that! I then had the Chilean sea bass based on our waiters recommendation and it did not disappoint. I had the Asian sauce w it as it was a bit sweet and tangy, which I liked. The fish was cooked perfectly and was soft and buttery as it should be! Asparagus and mashed potatoes were yummy as well!! Dinner ended w the most decadent brownie and ice cream as my bday treat! Overall great dining experience. Service was SUPERB as well! read more

4 of us came in last night for dinner and ordered bang bang shrimp (per usual, fan favorite) and the mussels to start. Shrimp was awesome as always and the sauce in the mussels was amazing. The actual mussels were hugeee! We also order the soft shell crab stuffed with crab cake as well. It was on the specials menu and I believe is only in season for 3-6 weeks so we had to try it. It was okay I'm not a big soft shell crab fan but the crab cake inside was good. For dinner I ordered the bacon jalapeño crab stuffed cobia with potatoes au gratin and broccoli. I've never tried cobia and it did have good flavor. I love jalapeños but the sauce was a bit spicy even for me. Overall we enjoyed everything and I have great leftovers today. read more

I think this is the only chain restaurant in the world that I'll set foot in voluntarily. They are ultra-neurotic about the seafood (a friend of mine was a chef here and clued me in). Always fresh, cleaned in house daily, and personally inspected and approved by the manager... It's all about the fish. They do it right and it shows. Order local Florida fish with whatever preparation and/or sauces suits your fancy. It's an imperative. read more

The food was dry, especially the jasmine rice . Not only was it dry it was hard. Out door seating is available at this location which I do like . The waitress was also good. The most important thing here was the food which I did not enjoy. read more

Once the greatest seafood chain ever, then came Coved now what was freshly baked bread is now old, prebaked, reheated and stale. The fish is awesome and the service is second to none. The bread changed my whole experience now. Before I would go there 2 times weekly, now once a month max. This is all locations. read more

I'll give it a solid 3 stars I was expecting better food but it was in line with the prices Might be my fault for ordering steak. Maybe if I had ordered a Fish item my experience would have been better? The Bread and pesto/oil dipping sauce was good The Marsala sauce I had with my steak at the suggestion of my server was excellent but the rest was just mediocre and the steak was over cooked which really ruined the taste. I ordered Medium and received medium well The garlic whipped potatoes were just ok and the cooked spinach lacked all flavor The coconut pie was just ok My server however was excellent!! So much so that I tipped him 30% which I rarely do especially on larger checks. The overall service however was lacking as our food was extremely slow coming out The ambiance was nice, a little loud but the appearance was pleasing Overall prices were ok. The Tuesday 3 course meal is a great deal. Had the food been a couple of notches higher in flavor and preparation and the wait time for food been quicker this could have been a 4 1/2- 5 star review First impression it's probably not a place I would recommend to family and friends and rave about It's not great, it's not bad, it's just ok Update: I want to send a thank you to the management at Bonefish for not only taking the time to read and respond to my review but to invite me back for another experience. I returned and this time ordered the bang bang shrimp that is a popular item, the chicken with feta and a watermelon martini. The watermelon martini was on point! Very good!! The bang bang shrimp was all sauce and breading. I couldn't find shrimp anywhere. This dish was just ok. Would be much better with shrimp you can see. The chicken dish although good was tough and way over powered by the Feta. You could not taste much other than Feta and without the feta the chicken was very dry Again, I truly appreciate the opportunity to try Bonefish again. However, I have to stay with my 3 star review. I think it really comes down to meat preparation training, and how to meld the flavors in the right portions. Otherwise Bonefish is on the right track. read more

Absolutely a great place to have a nice dinner! When we walked in, we saw alot of people dressed up for some reason. And we definitely felt underdressed. I was wearing shorts and camisole. But hey this place is slightly more expensive than let's say TGI Friday's...so I wonder why so many people were dressed up for this place. We ordered $36 for 2 menu with Calamari appt., ceser salad, salmon grill, and shrimp & scallop grill. All of them were just amazing!!!! They serve bread before food comes so it was just so much food for just $36. Now this deal is over and they don't do it anymore. But you can still get the same food. It surely was a great deal tho! The waitress was really nice and helpful too. It is great to have an informative and helpful server especially when it is your first time! This place can be extremely crowded especially on weekends so I strongly recommend to make a reservation a couple days ahead. read more

I think this might explain it best: we dine here about twice a month, if not more often. The food is always delicious and prepared wonderfully, the service is great, and the atmosphere is fun. Yes, you will definitely need to call ahead and make a reservation, because there is always a wait...but it's worth it. Favorites: half priced house wine during happy hour. Beef and ginger dumpling appetizer. The Pan-Asian preparation for grouper, tilapia, or mahi. Chilean sea bass with chimmichurri sauce... read more

We have never been to Bonefish even though the chain has been around for a long time. There just isn't one close to our house. Anyway, we decided to go because my husband had a giftcard and it is not a bad location. It is about halfway home from work for me and very close to my husband's job. The bread they bring to the table and it is served with pesto. It is good but there are other breads I like better. Our server was very friendly and helpful. He did recommend we try the bang bang shrimp since that is one dish they are known for. We also were thinking of trying it because my mom said they had it and it was spicy. It is good but, in our opinions, it is not spicy at all. I love seafood and fish of all kinds, so I ordered the snapper and shrimp combo that comes with a chorizo tomato sauce. For sides I had mashed potatoes and the the spinach. That was a really good combination. My husband ordered a steak. It was good as well. Both of us were really full and took at least half of our entrees home because the shrimp appetizer is a large portion. I expect that we may come back again because we liked it. read more

Most folks already know that Bonefish is a great restaurant. I'm writing this review because I was really thrilled tonight to discover that they're serving stone crab this season. My wife and I have been to two other seafood restaurants lately in search of stone crab, just as we always do about this time of year, but one of them had run out by 6 pm on Friday and the other just plain wasn't serving it. Not only is Bonefish serving this seasonal local legend, they're doing a darn good job of it. I thoroughly enjoyed my giant claws served cold with horseradish and cocktail sauce, and I'm glad that the 2015 hunt for stone crab has come to a merciful end. My wife ordered sword fish with pumpkin ravioli topped with truffle butter and feta. We shared the mussels as an appetizer. Overall it was a first rate meal, and the service was very friendly and prompt. No wonder we had trouble finding a parking spot even though it's a Tuesday!!! read more

The food was served was tasty. The service was friendly. But the food made me and my date sick. My date was throwing up for 15 minutes. The restaurant had 10 customers. There were about 6 servers. We were seated quickly. I did not see a server on the floor for 20 minutes. He was nice and apologized. I had toasted for the server. I had to chase him down twice. Beautiful place. The service was bad and the food may make you sick. read more

We went here because we received a gift card as a gift. We were so looking forward to tasty seafood dinner. What a disappointment. The calamari appetizer was pretty good but everything after that was not. The salmon caprese special was salty and gross, the steak and crab cake was it properly cooked with some of the steak cooked and some raw...in short skip this place. read more

Service was good. Food was great. Need to provide more of a selection for their sparkling. Should move up happy hour from 6:30 to 7pm. Missed happy hour by 8 minutes. Good location. Located in Publix shopping center. Would eat here again. 25 minutes from the beach up a main road. read more

First time ever to a Bonefish and it didn't disappoint! Came here at lunch for my birthday with my husband, Alexis was our server and she was very kind, thoughtful and thorough. We started off with the Bonefish Pomegranate martini with complimentary ciabatta bread (YUM!) then we were told to try the bang bang shrimp and it was soooo good. We both got lunch specials, he got the fish and chips and I got the Tacombo which was 2 blackened fish tacos that came with a house salad and jasmine rice and everything tasted so good. We unfortunately wanted to sit outside but later regretted sitting outside due to warm weather, they didn't have the fans on the patio and an annoying girl who was having a loud argument on the phone during most of our lunch did take away from our experience but we will definitely be back. read more

First time at this bonefish. Our server was so attentive was bordering annoying but we never wanted for anything! So actually the TLC was appreciated. We sat in the back booths near the restrooms and during our salad there was a horrible smell of gas in the back. Very quick and attentive to relocated us. Food was perfect! I always get anxious when I eat at franchises because our favorite is on 4th because of our experiences, I must say the quality and experience carried through!!!! Well done bonefish read more

We decided to go to Bonefish for their brunch on Mother's Day. We got there super early and seated right away. The waiter was super friendly and took our food order. Here's where it went downhill. The food took a really long time. We ordered eggs benedict, salmon, and a California omlette. When the food arrived, it was cold except for the salmon that was burnt. I am sure they would have put our omlette and eggs bennedict in the microwave if we asked, but I have a fear of sending food back so we didn't ask for the food to be reheated. We definitely didn't want to redo the salmon as we waited over 30 minutes for the food to arrive. We paid 75.00 for cold and burnt food. We won't go back, not worth it. *Great menu selection, cold and burnt food made the meal sub par. Spend your money elsewhere for a better meal. read more

I just had the ribeye dinner with a lobster tail with fresh sautéed spinach with a bacon mushroom dipping sauce which was out of this world. I was waited on by Luis who gave me excellent service. Wow I'm stuffed it was so amazing. The prices were a little steep but it was very good food. $43 no drinks and I wasn't told about filling out a free survey online for a free bang bang shrimp like the ladies before. Overall it was a good meal. read more

3.5 to be fair. Ordered the blackened fish tacos. Decent size, fair amount of fish, and good balance between the salsa and spice. To be sure, this dish packs a little heat, but not enough to overpower the senses. The biggest star of the dish was unequivocally the pesto! Service was good, albeit a little in good our food (they were on the busy side though). Overall, a decent experience and dinner for the price. read more

We have been going to Bonefish Grill for at least 20 years. I have never had anything that wasn't delicious from there. I love the bang bang shrimp, there sides are wonderful, my favorite above all, is there Chilean Sea Bass. It is the filet mignon of the fishes. It will literally melt in your mouth! Several toppings are also available to enhance your fish. You will not be disappointed! read more

During this time of safe home , stay safe I decided I needed to support our Restaurant workers. And ordered dinner at Bonefish. Mmmmm great decision!!!! Food was awesome and workers were professional with safety. Thank you and will definitely order more often and tell my friends. read more

I love my visits to Bonefish. Great food consistently, local crowd, fabulous servers and staff. Best of all...the bartenders! Jake, Alicia, Adrianna, Gabriella, CJ and Ashley always make you feel at home. This is true customer service at it's best. read more

I went in for lunch on a Monday with some friends and I've always loved their crab cakes. Noticed that they changed how the crab cakes are served, so I asked for everything on the side since the crab cakes by themselves are to die for. The manager (Will?) went above and beyond for me- gave me one crab cake by itself on a plate and one in the dish how it is served on the menu. Everything was great and I was incredibly impressed with the level of hospitality for me- went above and beyond! read more

Went there today with a girlfriend after shopping at Countryside Mall. Food was great and drinks were better. Our waitress Emily was wonderful and so was the Manager Paul . Will definitely be back! read more

Never disappoints. Our waitress was the sweetest thing ever! Best experience. Happy hour is great. I will definitely be returning.

Disappointing meal at Bonefish. Steaks were not good, sides were very mediocre and my husband had some sort of plastic wrap in his rice. We were not charged for that meal. Fish was average, even the special. Service was great. Used to have excellent food, seems very different these days & its expensive so you expect it to be good. read more

Brunch with unlimited mimosas is the perfect way to do a weekend morning in Safety Harbor. Gabriella is amazing!! Try the Oscar omelette. This place is the best. read more

The service always great but quality of meals is going down. They used to have best and fresh salad but now they use old vegetables to make your salad like they don't care. Now the salad looks like you got from food court. I really don't want to go back! We always go once a week. read more

We sat at the bar and had great service. Alicia saw that our chocolate Martini wasn't what we expected and fixed it to make everything perfect for us. Staff was all very nice and accommodating. Great food and great staff makes for one happy patron! Thanks. read more

We ate here on a Saturday night and it was pretty full. I ordered the special of haddock and my husband ordered the mahi. Both fish were moist and flavorful. The part owner Matt came over to ask how our dinners were. Later I saw him bus a table and serve a table. Not many owners do that. Our server,Jamal, was very professional and knowledgeable. We traveled from Tampa to Clearwater and it was worth the trip. But the piece de resistance was the brownie dessert. It was soft,moist, with raspberry sauce,whippEd cream and nuts. The waiter told us it was a flourless chocolate brownie(which costs more to make). We will certainly be back to Bonefish Grill on McMullen Booth Rd. read more

I love the Bonefish Grill! However, this particular place has really failed all expectations! My husband and I walked in Sunday at 3pm, not busy, nobody greeted us, two bartenders stood at the opposite side of the bar, looked at us and continued their conversation. We politely waited 10 minutes, nothing! The floor was full of leftover crumbs, the bar sticky, dirty. We left, management needs some retraining classes, terrible service! Won't be back! This was the Clearwater location. read more

Bonefish used to be my absolute favorite restaurant, but recently their quality & service has been lacking. The restaurant was not overly crowded, yet it took over 20 minutes to get my husbands wine & then another 10 minutes more for my drink. Whenever we looked for our waitress, we couldn't find her. The lack of service was evident & the food was meager at best. My husband ordered the special which came with a dessert of which he brought home with us. It was a coconut custard pie. When we went to share it, it was totally stale!! How can the restaurant serve stale food? It just baffles me. read more

I suggest to have better training to the person that answer the calls. I called for a waiting time estimate and the guy that answered the call said "I'm sorry you are mumbling". This is very disrespectful. My family and I will never eat at this restaurant again. read more

This restaurant had been my go-to place ever since I moved here 5 years ago. After last night, the odds of me going back is close to zero. What should I say I specifically asked for my shrimp and scallops to be plain, no spices and I asked for my spinach to be plain and steamed. My food was full of pepper and other spices and the spinach had garlic cloves all over it. I felt sorry for my mother who asked for her Trout to be plain, but it was extremely peppery and wound up getting heartburn. Her spinach had garlic cloves on hers as well when she asked for it to be plain I don't know if it's that the waiter wasn't listening or the cooking staff don't know how to follow instructions. I laid out over $40 for a meal that was so subpar. read more
