Bonefish grill review


Bonefish Grill restaurants are typically only open for dinner, although many restaurants are now open for weekend brunch which has a full menu of different types of omelets and other various breakfast choices. The company is experimenting with full lunch service in some markets with specific lunch items not found on the dinner menu. Their menu focuses largely on wood-grilled fish. The specials change every couple of months so there is always something new to try. The bar is fully stocked, and there are many different drinks and those specials also change every couple of months.

They are most recognized for their Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which consists of shrimp in a creamy spicy sauce.

Charitable contributions

Bonefish Grill has a history of partnering with various charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross.

Some of their fish periodically undergo DNA testing to ensure diversity and proper species labels.
