This is the best grab n go fried seafood spot in the Wood! If you're from a metropolitan city like NY or Chicago or even Greater LA, this flavor and style is hard to find and they do a great job. It's not heavy and the seasoning is light and flavorful! The offerings of fish and side items are immense and this spot never disappoints. read more

This was my second time eating here. The first time I ate here a few weeks ago I was pleased with my food. I had the red snapper, jumbo shrimp, red beans and rice and Mac n cheese. The Mac and cheese and red beans & rice could have been better but overall it was good. Today, the wife and I tried it again. I got the red snapper, shrimp, coleslaw and yams. The shrimp and fish were seasoned well. The fish was fried hard which isn't necessarily a bad thing but Unfortunately, the fish filets were extremely small and about 1/4 of the size of a regular filet. And when you fry extremely small thin filets, the fish gets hard like the skin on fried chicken. I would say the (3) pieces I got might have equaled (1) filet total. I don't know who they are buying their fish from but maybe they should get another vendor. The yams were ok and the coleslaw was pretty good. I really think this place can be a staple because there aren't any other places like it in the area but the undersized, thin filets aren't the business. I'm willing to try them again but I'm hoping they improve the size of the filets...... read more

The food is sooo good and the Tatar sauce is amazing. If you really hungry and ready to eat, you might want to order ahead since it takes a while for them to cook. They cook as you order, but worth the wait. We've tried both fried and grilled and both ways are delicious. read more

Menifee is without any good seafood options and finally got one in Fishbone Seafood! Waited for the opening day hype to slow and visited for some take out. Service was prompt and polite and we didn't need to wait for our food for too long. Ordered the Fish and Oyster combo, 10 piece Shrimp (fried), red beans and rice, collard greens, and sweet potato pie. Once we got home we dove right in. The catfish and oysters were cooked well and tasty and they give a good portion. The shrimps were delicious and although they asked if we'd like the "jumbo" shrimp, we found this to be filling as-is. They tossed in a couple of hush puppies which were pretty run-of-the-mill but good nonetheless. The greens were ok but not as vinegary as I like them. The red beans and rice were good, needed a little salt, but it complimented our meal. To finish, the sweet potato pie was ok but no the best I've had, and will probably pass in the future. Pricing is a bit on the high side but overall we enjoyed our meal at Fishbone and will definitely be back! read more

We ordered Cajun catfish and shrimp, regular fried catfish, yams, macaroni and cheese, French fries, collard greens, cornbread and peach cobbler. Everything was good. Everything tasted fresh. The only con was that they forgot to put our French fries in our bag. The wait time was about 15-18 mins. read more

The types of fish selections was not enough for being a fish place. The side dishes not yummy

Great business for the area. Food and prices are fair. Favor is good and they're flexible in their efforts.

Food is always good. I love the Cajun sole and the yams are like dessert . The service is friendly and helpful. I enjoy eating at the restaurant. Ambient music and nice temperature. read more

I've been ordering delivery from here for a while and it always lives up to my expectations. I don't usually write reviews but I felt compelled to, especially after going inside and sitting down to eat there! So good! We were so lucky because they just finished making a fresh batch of cornbread and omg. It was literally the best cornbread I've ever had, and that's really saying a lot. I've been eating cornbread for 36 years and I've had cornbread from so many different places across the US. The service was also great, they are very warm and attentive. And the ambiance is casual but very clean. I truly love this place. It's so hard to find good soul food in this area so I am VERY grateful for a place like this in Menifee! One gentleman who sat next to us traveled from San Diego and it's not hard to see why. I LOVE Fishbone. We ordered fried Cajun catfish, Mac and cheese, hush puppies, candied yams, and cornbread. YUM! The sauce station was clean too. High recommended eating at this establishment. read more

I used the Yelp app to order pickup and prepay. The food was ready at the indicated time...hot and delicious. Great combination! Next time I will preorder for pickup but stay and enjoy the outdoor shaded sitting areas provided by the complex. Really nice touch! read more

I hate to do this because we were so excited about eating here frequently at this place however after three times of giving it a chance it seems to have declined each time .the first time although we loved our food our fries were cold and soggy but we didn't let that change our opinion of how great it was the second time we ordered here the shrimp tasted completely different so did the yams and so did the cornbread we were sad about that but still gave them another try now this third time we come back and my fish is so small and yet again my fries were soggy I really really hate to do this because I was so excited about supporting this business but I really think consistency is something they have to be on top of read more

Super slow service. I hope the food is good I've been waiting over 45 minutes in counting.

I figured I'll give this restaurant a third try and again I was disappointed. Let's go low then high far as the items I received. The French fries were burnt and cooked at least twice over the past week. The hush puppies (Burnt) the salad ok; but the Italian dressing was pure oil. The oysters (slimy) and cooked three times since Thursday. Last but not least, the Dover Sole, (Tasteless)! Cooked too hard and not Southern at all! The old saying is "you can't please a good cook "! But even a bad cook would be disappointed. The service was Great! But the Food and the Cooks need to be retrained, reassigned somewhere else! read more

The food isn't great at all. Got a salmon plate that came with 2-3 pieces of salmon, mac and cheese and corn bread. The salmon had decent flavor but was soo dry and not what you'd expect from a restaurant that's supposed to specialize in sea food. The mac and cheese was horrible and felt like I was eating processed rubber (1/5). The cornbread was good! For the price, there are much better spots to this place within the same shopping center or not too far away. I wouldn't go back. read more

Some of the best fish I ever had! Really fresh really good! The employees are really cool they took great care of us! I eat here 2-3 times a week! Best Louisiana style in the area! read more

This place makes my dad's tummy hurt, so that automatically lowers the star ratings to me; however, with that said, it don't make MY tummy hurt. There's a better fried fish place in the area, but that doesn't stop this place from still being good food. If I'm leaving the house to get fried fish, I'd go to the other place. If I'm close by and want some fish, I'm not saying no. read more

My husband, grandsons and I had lunch here today and were pleasantly impressed. The hospitality, and atmosphere was inviting. The food was flavorful with large portions. We had grilled salmon salad, grilled large shrimp salad and a fried shrimp, fried fish with white rice platter(don't forget the sauces). We will be back and will recommend it to family and friends. Thank you for a pleasant experience and a great meal. read more

First there is no fountain drinks, second the chairs on the bar top are unusable. You fall off of them just sitting there. The fish was cook nicely but the sides need help. The sweet potatoes are drowned in cinnamon. Corn bread was very dry. The Catfish tasted like mud. I really wanted to like this place but so sorry, I will never return. The staff was very nice and courteous I give them credit. But the food is a 2. read more

I had the fried oysters and catfish meal. Absolutely delicious. The flavor and cruchiness were perfect. Can't wait to go back and try more!

This place is the new hot spot out here so I had to try it .. the website said closed so I went to the place to order , the employees were very nice and professional . But the food was a little overpriced . And a small amount you get . The catfish and tilapia was very soft and not dry which was good .. but the banana pudding was watery pudding and not the picture on the menu at all. Was 5$ for some watery pudding . The mac and cheese was in pieces the noodles were not noodles so that' wasn't very tasty . I spent 30$ for food I probably could have cooked at home for dinner .but at least we tried . read more

The food is great, nicely seasoned and great portion size. I ordered the catfish, red beans and rice with collard greens & cornbread. Can I say again, It did not disappoint. The wait is welcomed, for the freshness of the food. read more

The red fish and hush puppies are decent. The sides, greens & mac are bland and have very little cheese. The red beans and rice are edible. We really wanted to like this place since there aren't any fried fish restaurants around, but we simply don't. We MIGHT give it another try after it's been around for a bit. read more

Came here after being recommended from a friend and it was amazing! Staff and the owners are so great and fell in love with the shrimp! The salmon was the best I ever had and the Mac n cheese is sooooo good! Will definitely be returning read more

The food was very flavorful. All of it. Enjoyed the kick the oysters had. The yams and Mac and cheese were really Goodall of it was great! I'm going back again. read more

Sides a little salty but if that's your vibe you'll like it. Everything had a good taste tho

I try very very hard to patronize black businesses. Since Fishbone opened in Menifee I have been here three times. I wanted to make certain that when I posted a review that it was accurate. Each time I have ordered there has been something not right with my order. Burnt bread on a po boy, shrimp that has not been cleaned properly and the worst peach cobbler I have ever tasted. Personally this was my last visit. Can't continue to pay good money for bad food. Such a disappointment!!! read more

When I heard black owned I knew I had to try it! We ordered catfish and oyster combo and a shrimp and oyster combo with Mac n cheese, collards and fries. The catfish was fried pretty good oysters where a little thick. Shrimp was the best part. The hush puppies were the size of a jaw breaker which they almost accomplished being they were so hard. The Mac n cheese should have been thrown out before it was made. All it was is rubbery macaroni noodles and cheese plus a lot of pepper an hr later and I still have heart burn! Them greens were chopped and screwed up also with all the pepper in the world. I would not recommend may be black owned but not black made! read more

My daughter and I were very excited about having a seafood eatery in our area. Unfortunately we were not impressed with our food. My fried oysters were overcook and hard. Hushpuppies were also too hard. Cornbread was almost burnt on the bottom and sides. On the plus side the candied yams were tasty and the employee was welcoming and polite. read more

placed my order ahead of time and it took about 20-25 minutes but for fresh fried fish that's not bad at all :) the fish was pretty good and nicely seasoned, red beans and rice and Mac and cheese were pretty good as well. read more

Despite the recent negative reviews, I decided to try this place out. When I went in, there was nobody inside, and it initially made me wonder why. A young girl took my order and told me it would be about five minutes or so. That five minutes was the longest five minutes I've had to wait for food - it stretched into nearly a half-hour wait. During that time, an order came up and it was for someone waiting outside. I had been there for almost 15 minutes before their order was called up, so they had quite a wait as well. A few more people came in, and the same was told to each of them: "It will be about 5-10 minutes." I guess if they tell you it will be a half-hour people might change their mind about eating there. But being honest about the wait should be paramount. That said, the food finally showed up; the two kids I interacted with were nice and polite, and that is a plus in this day and age (I'm old, so they're kids to me). The food was pretty good, and it was plentiful... I definitely had enough to eat. Is $22 a lot for 'fast food' that isn't really fast? I knew going into it that the portions were said to be plenty, and that the pricing was about twenty bucks, so I wasn't shocked. However, for the price and amount of food, I would say it's very reasonable, and I'll likely be back - I love seafood and it was pretty good and cooked properly. But I will probably chuckle if I get told, "That'll be ready in about five minutes" again. read more

Went for lunch, it was awful. Ordered catfish and shrimp with Mac cheese. Catfish fish was over cooked. It was hard to chew. Shrimp was rubbery. Plus too much pepper. On top of that the Mac cheese was terrible. It was awful. The worst catfish and Mac cheese I have ever had. Pictures are very deceiving. read more

Best fish around I have tried this restaurant, mini mini times love the fish love the sides, potato salad, delicious apple cobbler. All just great. read more

Awesome Mac n Cheese! Need more of it. Gonna have to try the rest of the fish when I get a chance. Definitely bringing friends and family!

Great food and service. My husband and I loves this place. We will definitely come back again.

Great service/hospitality and the food was really good as well. I would definitely come back again!

Food was delicious!!! Fresh and flavorful..Very gracious owner for allowing spades nights gathering for the community.

Everything was good! I had the grilled salmon with vegetables Then the shrimp, oysters, and fried catfish combo plate. All was on point. But This southern girl and all of my aunts could teach a lesson on those side items. read more

I bought the catfish and greens. The seasoning of the fish was delicious and tasted great. However, the greens were a bit salty. Will try other sides, that they have; on my next visit. read more
