Bonefish left my home town some years ago and I haven't had their famous Bang-bang shrimp since. While visiting Sarasota, we had a chance to try them again and they were just the way we remembered. Great flavor, a little kick, just what the doctor ordered. We were offered a bread basket too, with nice olive oil and herbs to dip. I also had a glass of their Pinot Grigio. And as a bonus, the shrimp are only $7 during Wednesday happy hour. Usually they are $14.50 read more

Bonefish Grill - Bang-bang shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The Bonefish Grill in Buffalo was a victim of covid. It closed shortly after covid started. I was quite recently informed that Bonefish brought back the Bang Bang Shrimp special on Wednesdays. It is only $7.00 on Wednesdays vs. $14.50 any other day. Bang Bang Shrimp is a slightly spicy appetizer. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and served on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce. read more

My visit to Bonefish Grill on Thursday 10-23-2025 was ok, nothing spectacular. Because I was dining alone, I sat at the bar. The bar tenders were friendly, quick and attentive to my needs and the needs of the other customers sitting at the bar. I enjoyed a couple of ice-cold Bud Light bottled beers while I watched Thursday night football on one of the two TVs behind the bar. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer to start. The shrimps were very good, served hot, crispy with a touch of crunch, and covered with the sweet chili and mayonnaise sauce and spices and served on a bed of lettuce. There were so many shrimps piled high on this small dish, I was full and could not eat anything else. There were 15 - 20 medium size perfectly cooked shrimp.

Selection is great whether a full entree or an assortment of appetizers, salad, soup, or sides to complement the Wednesday special of Bang Bang shrimp at $7.00. Definitely fresh and delicious. Great service with attentive servers. Fun to sit by the bar, people watch, watch sports, or meet new friends. This is a local spot for sure. read more

We decided to come to Bonefish because of their world famous Bang Bang Shrimp special on Wednesday and it did not disappoint!!! We met our server Jordan who provided us with excellent service and good vibes!! We also ordered the side Cesar Salad - Potato au Gratin - and the Beef & Ginger Potstickers. To help wash this down we had the Coconut Crush and Paper Plane cocktails which were very good. All the food was good except for the au gratin which was not exactly what was in our mind (Not your typical au gratin potato dish) Anyway an overall good experience and we will be back!! read more

I was going to try this place as I just moved here. Decided to try the dessert first via DoorDash. Coconut pie and key lime pie- both so bad I will save my money trying dinner there. Bland, poorly prepped and just bad! read more

Had my Engagement dinner here. Service and food were incredible. Both of the servers that took care of us were very nice and took great care of us!! Renata was beyond sweet and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. Will absolutely be coming back!! read more

We love Bonefish. We come at least once a week if not more. We go out to have fun. Enjoy the food, and have a rapport with the wait staff. We make reservations every week. We ask for two of our favorite waitstaff. They make our evening fun. Enjoyable. We ask for a bar booth. The last three times we've showed up. Not our guys that we love and enjoy. Not a bar booth. It's like all of the $$$$ and we live here matters. We actually had a waitstaff tonight that we quit going to the restaurant because she made our evening miserable. That's who we got tonight. Meanwhile, both of the people we requested were there, and would have loved to wait on us. What's going on? About to find a new favorite. We live here. We spend $$ all year long. We are regulars. Is it too much to ask? read more

Food is always consistent. For a chain it is 'spot on'. Service is great. They surely follow their training. Nice decor. Good for a single , a couple or even a small private party. read more

Both food, service, and the quiet ambiance were perfect to enjoy a good meal before a medical appt shortly after 1pm...coming from Englewood, FL . I ordered shrimp Deablo and my husband's wood grilled mahi..all from the lunch soecial menu...were excellent! My shrimps were grilled seperately and placed on top of cheddar cheese flavored lunguini with broccli, tomato bits & well cooked onions + hot pepper sprinkle. read more

We did the monthly 4 course experience and it was AMAZING! We first learned about these monthly 4 course dinners by getting invited to their Merry Martini Christmas dinner a couple years ago. The value was great, the staff was friendly and accommodating to my wife, baby and I, and the food was incredible! read more

Not our first visit. Everything we had was DELICIOUS but the meal was enhanced by our darling server, Joey. New at his job, he was informative, entertaining and extremely cordial. He made an amazing meal even more special! read more

I'm a regular here. The food is great & we love martini Monday. Last night my friend had tire problems. We went inside & contacted AAA. After a long wait we decided to try & change the tire. Josh the manager saw us and graciously changed it for us even though he was wearing his good clothes! Thank you so much Josh for going above & beyond for me your customers! You saved the day!! read more

The food is awesome but their curbside pick up and service sucks. The first time I used it I couldn't find the parking for curbside bc the signs aren't very noticeable. The second time I found the parking checked in, then sat and waited and waited and waited. I turned my car off went in and two wait staff were sitting there on their phones, and there was one man at the bar and one table. That's it. So idk if their system doesn't notify them well enough that someone is there and they need to bring their food out and get off their personal phone. Curbside needs work, take notes from Chick Fil a read more

Tried Bonefish Grill for the first time. The fish was delicious, and the fish and chips were perfectly crispy and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service was not great--staff came off as rude and unwelcoming. Great food, but the experience was overshadowed by poor service. read more

Excellent seafood and atmosphere. You can't go wrong with bonefish! Great location, too!

Mediocre food. Weird combination of ingredients and flavors. Mocktails are overly sweet (dragonfruit). Lobster ravioli sauce is bland cream with veggies thrown in. Not much lobster flavor. Brussels sprout salad is overly sweet as well. read more

we had the most delightful experience at Bonefish UTC ! Christine, our server, was great - very attentive and suggested the specials in a way that made us want all of it! Husband had Lillys chicken- delicious- and I has stuffed salmon- like I've never had before! Highly recommend! Manager Robert also very friendly and accommodating! We will be going there often! read more

This is the first we have been to Bonefish Grill in quite some time. It was Sunday about mid afternoon. The bar area and tables were full. The dining area had four tables occupied. We were seated at the back of the dining area and our waitress was also taking care of the bar area. It seemed to take awhile to get our meals- filet and swordfish-which when asked, we told our waitress were both very delicious. We had to get another waitress to have our waitress come back long after we had finished our entrees. The manager came by asking how everything was and gave us complimentary card(s) for free bang bang shrimp (with entree(s) purchase) and requested that we leave a review. read more

Good seafood After reading some of the other reviews after the fact I think we were lucky, our arrival last night for dinner without reservations was not a problem and we were seated right away. Overall we had a very good visit. Service was friendly, our primary server quite knowledgeable as my wife asked several questions. I say primary server because we had other people also stop by checking on us, always cheerful, wanting our visit to be great. I have been missing out on pasta over the last year so I was pleased to see a dish named Bonefish Signature Pasta, linguine where you can add a protein. I selected Scallops, after all I'm in a seafood restaurant. Bonefish does offer more than just seafood, but they do have a fish in their name. I also like trying dishes that sound like something special offered by the restaurant. What sauce it had was thin, I'd rate that part of my food about average. The scallops were very fresh and flavorful. My wife had their Trout and pronounced it excellent. They definitely did good with the seafood. read more

Zeph the waiter was awesome. Happy hour is every day now. Even on the weekends. Ends at 6:30pm. We stopped going for a while because of poor food quality, but this time was pretty good. See pics. Kung Poa Brussel sprouts were especially good. read more

I'm pushing myself to maintain the 4 star rating I awarded this location from a prior visit. Sole reason is the reception staff should be fired!!! Restaurants are in the hospitality business. Staff greeting customers should be smiling, helpful and welcoming!!! My wife and I were so put out by the reception desk staff that we were tempted to leave. We didn't mind waiting, though we had a reservation, and yes, this place gets busy "in season", but, don't me feel unwelcome, and you're doing me a favor. On to the food, and service. VERY good. Cortney, our server was great. Food was very good. We had a 20% off coupon from Amex, so great value for our meal. read more

I cant believe I never tried the Bonefish grill before now. Delicious and wonderful atmosphere. We started with an expresso martini and a vodka sunrise and everything after is a blur.... Just kidding, the cod imperial was delicious and I scraped the plate clean. Definitely my new go to for the best seafood! I have to take points off because the waitress after being told we wanted dessert gave us the check and when I reminded her we wanted dessert she hastily gave me the dessert options like it annoyed her. ‍ read more

Oddly enough, I think Bonefish was the best meal I had in my recent trip to Sarasota- did not think my favorite meal would have come from a chain restaurant but it did. Our waitress (I want to say her name was Steph) was absolutely incredible. She was attentive, funny, chatty and accommodating. She made the experience memorable. We ordered three appetizers: ahi tuna, bang bang shrimp, and crab cakes. All three were excellent. Also, the complementary bread was also extremely delicious. For my entree I ordered the mahi mahi and shrimp combo with a side of double veggies. Steph recommended the lemon caper sauce on the side to try with the fish and I'm so glad she did because it was DELICIOUS. I left so satisfied- truly such a great meal. read more

Regular diners here. This pat Friday we met friends who had never been there. Server at the bar area high tops had no excitement to want to work. Maybe this, being a Friday night and young is what we thought. We ordered our rounds of drinks and then a second round and then a third as well as ordering our dinners. The couple that we invited ordered two Caesar salads with both Lite dressing along with the shared fish special. The food runner guy brings the salads right away and lays them in front of them. Literally, there is no way those were there's as the sever could not have even been back to her computer placing the order. We told the guy and he replied "uh" I dunno. Well, where is our sever as she just walked away and there is no way that is ours. "Uhhhh, I dunno and walked away. The female friend went to look inside the tiny dressing holder and it was empty. Yes, empty. The other salad did not even have any dressing on it. Or the little dish. We ended up stopping another waiter and asked and he thought that was very odd and quickly brought them the dressing. Bad bad experience for first and possibly last timers. I ordered chicken Marsala and wife ordered the taco's. Tacos good. My Marsala lacked any type of flavor lacked mushrooms and the one table spoon of mashed potatoes. Our bill. 6 drinks. Two dinners was as high as ever been. $97 with a $20 tip. Ridiculous. read more

Service was outstanding and the food was very good! The portions were a good size which was nice, because so many places are giving you less for more these days. I would totally recommend this location! read more

Standard Bonefish, good service, had to send mussels back, not cooked but they replaced them. Good ambiance.

Awesome food, good service, great place to eat. Highly recommend the salmon and or mahi mahi, nice portions.

Bonefish was once our "go to" restaurant. You know, the place you go to when everything else is too far or busy or too expensive. Not anymore. During our last visit, the server was uninterested. He clearly did not know th emenu. The fish was overcooked. The dumpling covered in some goop. My husband was convinced that we were served the house white but charged for the high-priced bottle. I wrote a letter outlining our experience the next day. It has been two weeks and have had no response. So sad. read more

Very good food that is well prepared. I had the trout w/ a lemon butter sauce. They make some great mashed potatoes. The cup of chowder was delicious. Service was up to par and the wait staff was very attentive for such a busy night. The ambiance is very pleasant. read more

I truly hate leaving a bad review but I was super frustrated. Went in and sat at the bar with my husband, he ordered a beer while I went to the ladies room. When I got back there was a couple hovering over my seat talking to several wait staff and our bartender. My husband and I scooted down to give them a seat since it was at the end of the bar and they needed one more seat. Odd because there were a ton of empty seats on the other side of my husband they could have sat in. At that point our Bartender acted like we didn't exist. We waited for quite awhile before we had to get the attention of the other bartender at the other end of the bar. Got a drink and then had to wait another 20 minutes to order food because neither bartender was paying attention to us even though it wasn't busy. At this point I'm starving. Finally got the order in and my husbands food came out Hot and mine was ice cold and completely not enjoyable but I ate it anyway because I was so hungry . The Bartender who was supposed to be waiting on us stayed at the end of the bar talking to the same couple for the entire duration of our dinner. The meal was frustrating from lack of service, the wait to even place an order, it being served cold and cost us $90 Won't be going back and hope they will do better at treating all of their guests with equal customer service, not just the ones they know. read more

I have placed an order for FISH AND CHIPS. Paid $18 and received a 3 tiny,cold pieces of fish and CABBAGE without a sauce or anything....the MANAGER TONY said that their FISH AND CHIPS comes with one side. Well if it does TONY then you eat all the fish you can and take CHIPS off the menu, which states ALL DISHES COME WITH FRIES AND A SIDE. Because what you served is a sad story. Will never go back there and definitely make sure to leave this feedback everywhere due to mr. Tony lack of customer service skills read more

Food was good. Unfortunately 2-people can't have main two sides and two modest drinks and with 20% tip get out under $100 unless main course is a sandwich or pasta. Then it's $80-$90. But also true of most places that offer decent food. Crazy. Thank your political leaders in power for inflation. They can afford $100+ for dinner a few tea week on $200k+ salaries plus all they get from our donations to THEM??? read more

Had a late lunch. House salad was not a stand-out. Potsticks were wet/lymph. Should have been covered pan fried then uncovered to dry/crisp. Dinning room is well designed and kept nice. Server, Van, could not have been better. read more

Normally we choose locally owned, rather than chain restaurants. Bonefish is the one exception! This location is not the closest to our house but they are far superior to any other we have tried! Service is always top notch with very friendly, well educated, helpful staff. The place is always clean and fresh looking with a quiet but happy vibe. The food is well priced and always on point! Join their membership club to get special priced meals not on the menu. During the season, reservations are a good idea. The drinks are interesting and fun to try, too. Don't be afraid to sit at the bar and converse with other patrons. Always meet interesting folks there who love the place too! Kind of a "neighborhood" place despite people from all over being there! read more
