Hit or miss. It's like they have a good shift and a bad shift. One time you go you might think 'this place is ok'. The next time you go here you will be disappointed left wonder why did the waiter have a bad attitude and why was my food cold and I never got my drink. read more

Man- HUGE shoutout to our server Jamie. I haven't seen hospitality and professionalism like hers in a very long time. This dinner was spent with our family after a family member's funeral, and thanks to her energy we had an incredible dinner together. Our drinks were near instantaneous, food was out in 10-15, and she remembered everyone's drinks in our large party (and trust the glasses were never empty). She is a true gem in the service industry, and I hope BoneFish knows what talent they have. Bravo, Jamie! Thank you for making our experience. read more

I had been to BG a couple times when it first moved into this newly remodeled shopping center. It's been years since I've been back, but I had heard good things about their brunch and since the husband had never been, we figured we would give it a shot. We had made a reservation on their mobile site, but when we arrived we discovered it really wasn't needed. Oh well, at least we were prepared. We were seated in a booth in the bar area and began to peruse the brunch menu. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Eggs Benedict and upgraded to the bottomless brunch beverages. While I stuck to the Blackberry Sangria - it was quite delicious - you can rotate through all the options if you so choose. Our dishes arrived without too long a delay and we were ready to dig in. I was a little thrown because my dish had spinach on it and while I didn't remember reading that on the menu, I welcomed the added greens. Turns out I was served the wrong dish. It must have been good & I must have been hungry because I ate most of it any way. Good news is, she did have the correct 'wrong' dish on the check; so we're not quite sure where the disconnect happened. Everything else was delicious and correct, so we can't complain too much. And the bad news? I just have to go back to try the dish I really wanted. Oh well, that's the dedication an Elite Yelper must take. read more

Great spot for ladies night or date night. They offer happy hour specials including, wine, beers, cocktails and food. My favorite appetizers is the Bang Bang shrimp which has a tiny kick to it and comes over a bed of shredded lettuce to cool your taste buds. I love the Bonefish house salad! The fish selections and chicken are both great and there drinks are quite tasty! They offer indoor seating with tables, booth, bar top tables and bar seats and outdoor seating which has space heaters for the cooler weather. They bring fresh bread, oil and spices to the table after drinks are ordered and it is most delicious! Servers are very professional and accommodating and prices are reasonable. Parking can be a bit tricky if you arrive during happy hour. read more

My dad and I came for brunch on a Saturday around 12pm. The place wasn't busy at all except for the bar. We were seated at a dirty booth, which the hostess quickly moved us once I pointed it out. Service was friendly, but my goodness was the kitchen was so slow. We were seated facing the kitchen and I could see the waitress waiting for our orders. I don't know how they function like this during the weeknights. I would not suggest coming here unless you want to wait a while for your food. Maybe that is ok for you, but for me I wasn't impressed. read more

Okay, it's a chain and I normally do not like chain restaurants but BFG is good at what it does - they take pride in preparing good seafood no matter where they are located (we like one close to our home in NJ). Hopefully they can keep up the good work. The location is right off of the main drag (A1A, I think) and parking was a little difficult since it is in a shopping area. First of all, even though the portion size has gotten smaller, the Bang Bang Shrimp was excellent, as always. Very helpful with gluten frees options - nice that they have a separate menu as well. The Bang Bang Tacos were also quite good. Drinks ranged from 16 oz PBR to Dogfish Head 90 to Blueberry 'Tini to G Louis Martini - not to mention a Stone IPA thrown in for good measure. Entrees consisted of Prosciutto wrapped Monk Fish, Charr and a large Cobb salad. All in all a good meal in a very nice, relaxing setting. Our waiter was Junior B and he did a great job. read more

John Crowder has a great crew and provided assist for us. He knows his business and how to be customer-focussed! We will be back! read more

It was Excellent! My wife had a Sirloin steak with Broccoli and Jasmine Rice and we both drank water and I had a Samuel Adams Seasonal Draft Beer. It was $55.00 including tip for both of us. This was our first time here and we will be back. read more

For me Bonefish is all about the appetizers, desserts and cocktails It is basically a good happy hour spot For a chain restaurant they introduce so pretty new and interesting things and they switch it up. The cocktails are solid I have enjoyed every cocktail I have had their. I recommend the watermelon martini, blackberry frost (comes in a solid glass made of ice ) , the ocean trust spicy martini and espresso martini Their new donuts are Amazing and fun to insert your own caramel or chocolate ! The happy hour is 3-6$ and bang bang shrimp at $6 on Wednesday. The San Jose location gives you better portions. Check it out ! read more

Delicious & beautiful presentation. Lively atmosphere & our waiter Matt was 5 star. Enjoyed the tasty Bang bang shrimp, SashimI crunch tuna, special side of Brussel sprouts. Great to have this Jax Beach gem remain consistent. read more

Always consistent in their service and their food. This is our 'Go-To' place and we always find ourselves measuring our other food or restaurant experiences to Bonefish by saying "Well, it's not Bonefish!" Pricing is exceptional for the quality, quantity and value received, in that, we always leave feeling we definitely received our money's worth. The wait-staff is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable of their product. read more

Not a terrible experience but not an excellent one either. Ordered curbside they forgot part of my order and I had to drive back to get it, and they asked me to come inside instead of bringing to the curbside the way I ordered. When I got home my steak was extremely undercooked and I don't have a grill so I couldn't eat it. My asparagus was cold I had to cook it myself when I got home, the crab cake and bang bang shrimp were cold as well. The manager was very nice and apologetic they gave me 25% return on my meal for the inconvenience but that definitely didn't cover my steak, and considering the rest of the food was in bad condition I feel like they could have done more. The bread and fries were warm but that's it. Probably won't return. read more

Best appetizers/bar food all around, good drinks, nice decor, excellent service. Meals are good too; if your a fish eater............also nice crowd. Outside seating, for smokers. There are two of them & I have been to both Jax Beach, and Mandarin, both are same quality. They do not open until 4pm same as Outback, Cararrbas, same company. read more

This will be my new favorite walking distance place! Trading Carrabbas for it. I've always liked Bonefish for their fantastic raspberry martinis. I've been to their restaurants in 3 sates and their layout, food, drinks and service are very consistent. What really impressed me this time is that I ordered one portion of mussels appetizer for ~$8 and it was enough to fill up both myself and my husband! The $8 portion at Carrabbas is barely enough just for me. I look forwards to going back to Bonefish many more times. read more

Great service, HH cocktails and dinner. Had the parm crusted trout and creamed spinach ladt night. Excellent!

Another mediocre at best experience at Bonefish. I don't think I'll go back. Sat at the bar. The bartender was fine. The big problem I have is with the menu. It's mehh. The happy hour menu is almost embarrassing compared to anywhere else in town. The offerings are lame and so few. The HH drink menu is small as well. But the final straw for me was the bare minimum of wine even offered on it. One white wine. I mean one?! Chardonnay. Now I'm a white wine drinker, but come on you have to offer more than one choice. I won't drink Chardonnay personally, and who doesn't offer another option. Even a sparkling? There are so many other better options in town. Until they step it up, I'll be going elsewhere. read more

Holy cow. First off, our server Shannah was amazing. Top tier. Downloaded the app to say how bad the lights were placed in the ceiling. That's all. Will scare any ocd person very bad read more

Went to Bonefish 8/8/17 with a friend. We received a buy one entree get one entree free in the mail and in the letter said they had $5 martinis. Other than the server said they didn't have $5 at 5pm everything was wonderful. I had the grilled tilapia with mashed potatoes and green beans. I couldn't decide between the herb pesto topping or the lime tomato garlic. They brought out both on the side. Both tasted great with the tilapia. It just depended on what mood you were in. My friend had steak and crabcake with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked well. Crabcake was meaty. It could be a little bigger. About the size of a 50 cent piece. read more

First time eating here ever!! It was actually really good I got shrimp with mango salsa on the side, jasmine rice and Mac and cheese with bacon! I know bad combo, I didn't eat the Mac and cheese to tough but it wasn't bad! The rest was amazing, I love the fact they have jasmine rice I have never seen that served At any other restaurant before and jasmine rice is my Jammmmmmm!!! The servers were super nice and friendly! We had a big party and got there late but our food came out in a decent time!! I love how they keep the water on the table and the cute little glasses! SHOTS OF WATEr!!! Great food, and great service! Now I need to try the one back home so I can see if it levels to this location! read more

I'm still waiting for my bread. Got there about 1130 plenty of seats decided to sit at the bar table Our server came a little bit longer than what I thought it should've been We had the bang bang shrimp I ordered a passion fruit Mimosa which was OK The bread is about to come out of the oven we are told We are now ready to order but our waiter is too busy talking to the hostesses We are ready to order and finally able to order We decided to get the fish tacos Is Our bread coming Our waiter was too busy talking to the female hostesses Our tacos came, they were actually quite good but we didn't get any bread we did see other people getting bread though I guess the hostesses must've distracted the waiter So now it's time to leave Brunch was OK. If you're expecting anything stellar or superior service I would look elsewhere If you do decide to eat here can you see where my bread is read more

We used to really love this location. But for whatever reason they have a really gone down in Service and food quality. Our server disappeared for almost an hour and only came to our table 4 total times throughout an almost 3 hour dinner. I don't know if they got a new chef in the kitchen but the food is terrible. The bang bang shrimp tasted old and rubbery and no flavor, The fish was dry, and the side of asparagus (which is an upgraded side which costs more) looked and tasted terrible. This is the 3rd time we've been lately cause we keep hoping it was an isolated bad experience but it doesn't seem to be the case. We will not be returning and wasting any more money. read more

Great happy hour specials. The service is top notch. Everyone is pleasant and helpful.

Went for brunch recently. The service was fast and our waitress kept the drinks coming (a win in my book). We were able to switch from bottomless mimosas to bloody Mary's and both were tasty. The mimosas could have definitely used a little less OJ though. The food was okay, but some of it came out cold. The manager came over and they re-made it and it came back out quickly. I would say the price is right on target for brunch and endless drinks. read more

Stopped by Bonefish Grill in Ponte Vedra Beach for brunch. The food was great and the bottomless drinks were an extra bonus. We had bang bang shrimp eggs Benedict and an Oscar omelette. We were fortunate enough to have Alex as a server. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and very attentive. Servers like Alex are what bring me back to restaurants. Keep up the good food and service Bonefish and clone Alex. read more

We had an amazing brunch experience! Xander was our server and greatly exceeded expectations. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We went with the bottomless bubbles option which gave us unlimited Sangria, mimosas, and bellinis. Our server was quick with refills and encouraged us to try the different options. We both had Benedicts that were absolutely delicious. Bonefish definitely had an underrated brunch. We will be back again soon! read more

We just returned home from our dinner at the Jax Beach location. SO disappointed. I ordered the Cod with Crabmeat., maybe 3 tiny pieces of crab? Ridiculous!! My dish had Fish that tasted and looked more like Tilapia, not thick Cod. My potatoes were served like a scoop from a chain restaurant lunch line. Our waiter left my drink at the far end of the table. My husband and I thought he forgot it. One positive, my husband like his fish tacos. We've been pretty loyal customers to BF for many years. Tonight sadly, we have Nothing positive to say. read more

Bonefish Grill is a great place to hit on old people. Every happy hour, they flock from Ponte Vedra to mix it up with the Jax Beach riff raff over wood fired seafood. Maybe that's what brings us all together. In any case, Bonefish is about the same quality food as Outback or Carrabbas, but just the Seafood iteration of the same mega-chain. As much as I prefer local restaurants, the food is actually really tasty. I usually get the seared Ahi Tuna, which is coated in sesame seeds and served with steamed veggies and some sort of herbed jasmine rice. It's consistently good. The kobe burger is delicious, and a good deal at $11 with a side. Any of the wood fired seafood dishes or steaks are good and range from about $16-25. They come in a normal or small serving. The small portions are pretty tiny, so if you are hungry I would definitely get a normal sized portion. The pork chop is surprisingly good here as well. Wednesdays are absolutely slammed because they do $6 bang bang shrimp, which is probably the most popular appetizer. I would almost prefer to pay the extra $4 or so to not deal with the madness, but I have to admit it's the day that I come here most often. The parking lot is usually full, so good luck with that. Watch out for buzzed seniors on scooters. Seriously. They are fiesty after a few pinot grigios. read more

I think if I had to pick a National chain with the best personality and most imaginative fish menu of all up and comers, it would have to be this place. About 4 years ago, I had my first experience with Bonefish Grill while in Orange Country, So. Cal. I think it was the Costa Mesa/Irvine location and although I went there with a taste for Monk Fish and struck out, I had a wonderful meal. I believe I ended up with the Chilean Sea Bass cooked in some sort of Asian glaze, on a bed of sauteed greens, and a cover of wasabi cream. I don't know why I've avoided it all this time. Well yes I do, the opportunity wasn't there. Then along came opportunity and I went for it at the beach. I was still having that MF Syndrome cravings but wouldn't you know, they didn't have it either. 4 Stars- For starters, we each ordered 4 different drinks. A White Sangria, a Black Cherry Guava Mojito (real unique but sweet), a Cosmopolitan and a Margarita. All were good at $5 a pop. I had my eye on the Crab Cake appetizer but got over ruled. Then I suggested the Bacon Wrapped Scallops, overruled again. Seems we all needed to agree and the only way for this to happen was for me to agree to the Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls. I give them 2.5 Stars but mostly because I didn't get what I wanted. Still scratching my head why I did that? But they enjoyed them, 4 Stars. I did get my revenge by ordering the Filet & Crab Cake. The characteristics oak grill taste really came through on the meat although I'm not sure if it was cook in or sprayed on. 3.5 Stars - Filet - Tender but a little gristly. 4 Stars - Crab Cake - A bit more filler than I'd prefer but the crab was flavorful enough. I do think it was blue crab though. Two others had something called Lily's Chicken wouldn't you know, a goat cheese, sauteed spinach, artichoke hearts kind of dish. 4 Stars, they loved it. The forth entree was Trout and I think it was lemon buttered but it looked boring. The score for it was 3.5 as well. I suppose due to the fact this place was my suggestion, I had to compromise on the Egg Rolls but never again. I'll be back for the Scallops and hopefully Monk Fish when they have it. read more

Appetizers aren't worth the $$$. Ordered the ahi tuna for $14.00 and got 6 pieces 2x2x1/8 not worth it but they fill the plate with lettuce as if you bought a lot of food. The bang bang shrimp were the same. They were overflowing out of the bowl but the entire bowl was full of lettuce with about 12 shrimp on top. Not worth the $$ read more

One restaurant we don't have in LA is Bonefish, so my Floridian family members brought us here years ago, knowing we'd love it. Now every visit to FL requires a stop or two here, mostly because: - The staff is always very nice and are people you'd legit wanna be friends with IRL (shoutout to Zac, who seemed like a genuinely good guy) - The complementary bread is AMAZING. Always served fresh and warm, even when refilled - Each dish has great flavor. We recently did the $50 dinner for two, which totally filled us up (okay, we might've mostly gotten full off the bread, but who can blame us). We prefer the coconut shrimp over the bang bang shrimp, but both have great flavors. The ahi tuna, salmon, and steak had great seasoning; we couldn't finish it all. The creme brulee was bigger than anticipated, which was a nice surprise! Most people either loved or hated the imperial dip. It's kinda heavy, but it has a really nice cheese blend that reminded me of Black Angus' cheesy bread's. Not sure what else to add. We just really like this place. read more

Not good. Mussels didn't taste cooked. Calamari was over cooked and salty. I would not recommend

This review will cover two visits: Thursday February 4 and Saturday February 6. The 4th was a rainy day, all day and when we got to the restaurant (about 6 - almost empty). I ordered the stone crab claws - the special. Later the waiter came back and told me they were out and I ordered ahi tuna instead. Disappointing that I had to get emus again and reorder, but they were good about it and even offered a free desert, which I declined. The ahi was good but small. I only took one of the two sides and they offered to still get me a second side. I asked for a side of ahi, but that wasn't an option. Saturday though, was a little more of a restaurant management problem. The wife is in the hospital and we were trying to minimize "away time" so we had a 6:30 reservation and arrived early at 6:15. The hostess made a point of telling us they were seating 6:15 at that time, so we stopped outside to wait. At 6:45, my daughter went into check and they said we were second to be seated. At 6:55 I went in and they told me it would be soon. I mentioned to the hostess I would hate her job, having to disappoint so many people. She asked if I would like to see the manager. I said I would, but he didn't show up. Lack of courage I suppose. Anyway, we left to get back to the hospital. Generally, I find Bonefish better than many of the chains, although still a chain and nothing really special. But I am just enormously disappointed when something is agreed upon like a meal or a reservation, and can't be fulfilled. Leaving didn't really hurt them, there were a lot of other folks waiting for their 6:30 settling, but it's all I could do. Best to visit this restaurant at a time of day that you don't need to count on a reservation that they may not meet. read more

This place impressed the hell out of me. Not only is this place in Jacksonville, but it is also a chain. I've been pretty spoiled with food in LA and all my ex-faves back home are always disappointing. I've learned to live with food that is just ok when I'm in Jax, hope I don't offend too many people. I've worked and dined in some amazing places and am hard to please, what can I say. The margaritas were some of the best I've ever had. The price $8, wow, does it get any better? These things are big and ridiculously tasty. The food, very good and pretty cheap. I had a salmon salad ($12-13), I usually don't get salads for dinner or in general when I dine out, but after all the margaritas and more to come, I wanted something light. The piece of salmon was a surprisingly large portion. I couldn't finish it. Can't wait to eat here again when I'm back in JB. read more

Nice bang bang shrimp and fish selection. I hear the bar is too. I think the service is great and there can handle large groups too. I will be back again. Give it a try when you are in Jacksonville Beach. And there is always good atmosphere. read more
