The three stars is only for the beautiful inside decor and the guy making the sushi to order. It's hard to write this review because I so wanted to give some positive feedback but I'm so disappointed in the food, the drinks just the overall service. Once we walked in and saw that it was not that busy we decided to just sit at the bar so we grabbed two seats and sat. It took at least fifteen minutes before the bartender even gave us menus...still don't know her name considering she never really greeted us. Once she finally came back around she pointed at us asking if we were ready to order and I had to pause before asking for a glass of Riesling. They have an everyday Happy Hour from 3pm-7pm which a great time but bad when the bartender is totally confused and never ask you for your order. We were finally able to order some food...it took forever!! Once it came out the crab cakes were blah, the Catfish beignets were undercooked and the red beans and rice was just horrible. I also had some of the hot and spicy wings and they were so spicy that I could only eat one not realizing they were going to be that spicy. Overall....I would never go here again! I honestly thing they need a complete overhaul or just shut the doors! read more

Food was good. Not the problem. Problem is we came at lunchtime and were charged dinner prices. We were sat with both lunch and dinner menus, but when ordering I pointed to the pasta dish in the lunch menu. I thought, we both thought, we were ordering lunch, especially since it was 1:30-1:40 when we ordered. We received a bill for dinner prices. I assume I got dinner portions, but that was not what I ordered, expected or wanted. I feel like if a restaurant is going to provide two menus at lunchtime, the servers should ask what menu you want to order from to prevent this kind of absolute regret coming here. I ordered 20$ pasta but spent 33$, and likewise there was a more than 10$ difference for my husband's meal. I ordered a side of red beans and rice to accompany my pasta and was charged $13 instead of $6. Just all around a bad experience as it was obvious we were taken advantage of. Would not recommend. Also, is there an auto gratuity on every single check, even for a party of 2? Sus. read more

I used to work at the Detroit location back in the early 90's as a bar back, line cook & prep cook & it was busy as heck! This location isn't big as the Detroit space, but it's still big! This place is like a ghost town on a Tuesday night at 9pm! It's because things like the music is not what they used to play in Detroit - the classic jazz & music from the old days. I liked the music they had on but, it wasn't how they made their name or how it set them apart originally. The menu is all over the place, not focused on just New Orleans Cajun & Creole - they have sushi of all things! I've been craving their gumbo ya-ya & it really disappointed me! It tasted like they used too much roux & filler, fortunately it was edible! read more

I most recently got carry out from here and it was delicious both times. This most recent time, we got jambalaya and catfish beignets. Both were delicious! The jambalaya is a huge portion size that you can easily make three meals out of and is super flavorful! The catfish beignets are seasoned and cooked to perfection! They come with a Creole dipping sauce that is the perfect accompaniment as well. And the cherry on top are the rolls. I absolutely love bread and Fishbone rolls do not disappoint! They're large, soft and warm and come with a herbed butter. I'd recommend trying it if you've never been! read more

This place was a nice surprise to find in the area. The atmosphere was amazing. You definitely feel the Louisiana vibe and the love music makes it even better. The drinks were good, but was bit disappointed with the food. I got the pasta that's supposed to be their number one dish and it has all the Cajun/creole ingredients but didn't have that taste since it's on a pesto sauce i believe instead of Cajun. My boyfriend got the the jambalaya which was ok. Again, could use some more cajun seasonings and spice. The fried food was good. Overall not bad for the area but definitely not like pappaduex which is a chain restaurant or a Louisiana restaurant read more

Finally got a chance to re-visit one of my local favorites. I was impressed by the new decor. I especially enjoyed the new fish tank. My choice for dinner selection was less impressive. I ordered a dish with a catchy name that I can't remember.......LOL, but it had fried shrimp, catfish and scallops. The shrimp and fish were just ok. I personally felt the scallops were cooked too fast and not completely. MY BAD I won't get that again. My wife and daughter chose the Pasta Orleans, the youngest had the sliders.The dinner rolls were warm and fresh, the service was on par. Basically I was impressed with everything accept for the main thing, MY FOOD. My family made better dinner selections and everyone was satisfied. Pricing seems to be the same if not more to cover the remodel. I will be back and my selection will be better next time. Second Visit: Returned for a milestone birthday dinner. Danielle helped my wife organize a reservation for a dozen plus people. Everything was awesome this time around. Our server Artina was a trooper holding it down and handling the entire party by herself. read more

Solid Mother's Day brunch with decent service. I know that brunch isn't a standby at this location, but they did a good job today for a packed house. We had to sign when we arrived that we wouldn't be more than two hours and that the tip would be included, which I have never seen. I can only imagine what caused them to implement this this as it was off-putting. The food was good, not great, the usual Fishbones staples of bland Louisiana fare and breakfast items. Still they kept it full and fresh. Drinks, we just had coffee and water, were kept fresh. I'm curious about their food and service during regular service, but not so curious that I'd choose this fairly boring location over the ambiance of the one in Detroit. read more

Our food was very good, , but why bring everything to the table at once! My husband specifically said that he wanted his soup first, followed by a salad, and then bring our our entrees. What we got was EVERYTHING served together at one time! We weren't happy about that. All of our food (catfish dinner, and catfish appetizer, wedge salad, and soup) was very good, but we were put off by having our table cluttered with many dishes at the same time. We will go again - hadn't been there in years - but will order in steps, I think, to not have all courses served together. Restaurant is attractive and clean, and bathrooms are clean, too. read more

The food never disappoints here. As someone who lived in New Orleans for five years, I can say that the gumbo is a distant reminder of some good eating (chicken & shrimp gumbo). I absolutely look forward to the hot rolls and flavored butter with my meals. Be careful because it can be easy to get full from these hot crossed buns before the main dish arrives. My last visit I ordered a medium cheese burger. The patty is generous/big and the bread is soft too. The accompanying fries stand alone they are so good - seasoned fries. I also like the renovations at the Southfield location. If your looking to grab a bite and watch a game, the bar area is huge and has ample seating and many televisions. It's my presence to sit at the bar actually. Strangely enough, Fishbones has an extensive sushi menu. I've ordered the king crab roll a few times. I would give the restaurant a 5 star rating if the sushi was top notch. It's decent when I have a craving and I'm not able to get to my favorite sushi spot. read more

Staff is very kind, attentive, despite how busy or slow service can be. The ramen was delicious. A ton of flavor from the broth, noodles, and meat. I got the traditional tonkotsu ramen with pork. I was a big fan of the dish. My egg wasn't runny/half boiled sadly, completely hard boiled. Not enough of a con to really impact the dish. The gyoza was great, with options of either boiled or pan fried. I love that they gave the option. I'm glad I got it as an appetizer, one of the best gyoza I've had in years. I'll definitely be returning for both dine in and take out. As I went on a quiet Sunday, there was ample parking in the back which made it very convenient. Great place!

First is that it has a big menu, which I don't always feel is a good thing as it risks not really specializing in one area. Well, I was proven wrong. The 'big apple' is a signature dish and one that comes up on many searches, so I went with it. From a regular pic, it might not jump out to you and you may think it's almost like an apple fritter (though nothing wrong with that), but it's so much more. It's almost difficult to describe. It seems like it was cooked in it's own unique bowl-shaped pan since it's crispy all around, including the edges that lift a couple inches. It's surprisingly light, almost like a light, airy crepe. Maybe even a bit like a Yorkshire pudding. Of course, it's sweet and the apple aspect of it was also better than I expected. Almost certainly real apples roasted in house added with cinnamon sugar and not just something prefabricated from a bag and warmed. We had a huge group of three families and everyone loved what they had. The pancakes were a huge hit and were true butter milk pancakes. Those, and many other things, tasted as though made with real butter. My daughter loved her crepes. The friend with me was really impressed with his omelet. It goes on. Another friend had never had potato pancakes before (such as latkes) and loved them here. So yeah, this place was a massive hit for me and about 15 others I was with. Will be back for sure.

Even with the place being busy, they didn't rush us to order or to get out of the door. They chatted with us and made us feel welcome - as if we'd been going there for years! And every time we return it's like talking to old friends. It's so very refreshing in the current social climate! Now the food: 'Delicious' is too weak a word to describe it!

I strongly suggest if you're looking for a nice/ decent dining experience DON'T stop at this establishment. From the rude disrespectful staff to the RACIST manager. This restaurant SUCKS. While waiting for a $44.00 carry out order we asked for a glass of water from the waitress and was told NO!! The manager also said we don't give water if you're not eating in. He took one look at my BLM mask and instantly became Rude and Surly!! This is really sad, because as the administrator of a nonprofit I have to fundraise which means I have to meet donors very often. Because this restaurant is nearby it was often my go to place. But after this experience I will NEVER return. Additionally because I'm always dining out I'm often asked for referrals or dining suggestions I will never suggest this God awful place. The service is awful because the manager is a big racist. read more

After that, it went down hill. We asked for mild and was told MEDIUM IS MILD. However, my sister couldn't eat hers due to the seasoning being too spicy!

The service was just POOR! I left the tip for the bus boy because he was more helpful than Tee. I'll NEVER COME BACK HERE. I'LL STICK WITH CRAZY CRAB ON TELEGRAPH BY NIKOLAS!

On a sunny afternoon, my girlfriends and I had a strong taste for some seafood. We quickly remember…read morethere was a new seafood boil place located on the Westside of the city. Sad to say we were truly disappointed. When we walked in there were plenty of open tables (about 7-10), yet we were stuck waiting for 30 minutes in the hallway of a strip mall. Finally once seated, it took the server another 30 minutes to greet us and come take our order. The plus was that there were already menus on the table. Once we placed our order, the wait was extremely long for some boiled shrimp in a bag. Tables who later came after us were already receiving food and fast service. The anticipation grew, as after so long we were presented with bibs, time passed, then presented with paper for the table, time passed, then finally our food arrived (another hour of waiting for boiled shrimp) I had the shrimp po boy and French fries, both which were pretty good. As we were ordering we tried to place a carry out order. In which, we were instructed to wait as it would be "best" to order closer to the time we leave. The waitress was rude and very soft spoken. Her demeanor was nonchalant and non welcoming. She disappeared and then returned once a hour to accommodate us but failed to check in on our experience. Overall, the food was okay. My friends didn't really enjoy the crab legs and shrimp. They stated it lacked flavor and tasted like straight butter. With our experience with seafood places, i agree with their concern. If you're looking for a great place to talk and catch up, this is definitely the spot for you. They will take forever in the day, even at 1 in the afternoon.

Happy Hour Review - The bar in this business specializes in Craft cocktails which are from what I…read morecan tell unique to this business and border on being a fusion inspired cocktail. The "Out of Town" cocktail I ordered offers a unique spin on the traditional Margarita where ingredients include , Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, Fresh Lime & Pineapple Juice, Real Coconut Syrup and a Tajin seasoned Rim. The cocktail was very well made and oh so tasty. So tasty in fact I ordered 2 of them. Being a higher end steak house, prices at this business are on the higher end of the spectrum to include their cocktails. Having said that, you can get an assortment of their craft cocktails for $10 during Happy Hour which are significantly less than what you would pay during non Happy Hour prices. Aside from the drinks, they also offer some tasty looking food options where one in particular caught my eye being the Filet Mignon Sliders (two each) which looked amazing as I watched the guy next to me devour his. I will definately be returning to try these in the very near future. Relative to staff and facility, this is a very classy establishment and definately a great place to take your significant other where they will appreciate the upscale feel and romantic vibe this business has going for it. Staff was super friendly where I had some nice and entertaining discussions with the bartenders which I always get a kick out of ! Overall This is a great Happy Hour and an opportunity to sample unique and well made cocktails at a discount price. If you are in the area and are a fan of well made drinks than you should definately check this business out.

The person taking orders seemed very nice and I'm not even sure this was the same person I spoke with over the phone. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese sandwhich that comes with fries. It's about $30 and as pricey as that is, I wanted to give it a shot. I do think the sandwich was good and the fries were tasty as well. I don't know if it's all worth $30 but at least it was tasty. They do have many other items on their menu and from my understanding it's all very tasty so I would say check them out.
