Bonefish Grill

I love this place! I found the service and food to be much better than the Kentlands location. Came here on a Friday evening with a friend. The wait time for a table inside was about 15 – 20 minutes, so we decided to sit out on the patio, which is small but nice especially when the weather’s good like it was that evening. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Our server, David, greeted us almost right away. He was consistently polite throughout our meal. We were so surprised by how quickly our drinks and food were brought to us, so we loved the speedy service. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer, which is a must when coming to any Bonefish since it’s honestly very delicious. We also got a round of mango sidecars and white sangria, both of which were delicious and served in beautiful glasses with colorful pieces of fruit inside. I ordered the salmon with lemon butter sauce, green beans, and jasmine rice, and I swear it was the best meal I think I’ve had in any restaurant ever. It was an absolutely delicious entrée, tasted fresh and flavorful, and I don’t usually repeat orders but next time I come here I’m definitely getting it again. The bathrooms are also clean, so that’s always good! I will be back for sure.

It started off a wonderful happy hour experience. Had 3 great Gin and tonics then I was ordering my 4^th before happy hour ended (poor college kid life) and the manager came up and totally embarrassed me in front of my girlfriend by rudely talking down to me like I was a child saying how he «didn’t feel comfortable serving me another drink.» After three… I’m a grown man and it totally ruined my evening. Fucking asshole. Big bald nazi fuck ruined my evening. I thought this was America. Server was super nice though. Be careful of Mr. Clean ruining your Friday evening date night.
What irks me is the underlying anti-​Native American tone that the manager had. Just because of the white man thinks that his oppression of my people through the introduction of alcohol into our culture has any limit on my ability to rage face. Homie wouldn’t see me in the hands tho. I watched that guy break my high score in kitten cannon. That manager wacks it to powderpuff girls porn. He smells like Lewis and Clark near the end of their journey. Homie looked like JFK post assassination.

Ordered the ahi tuna steak as take-​out! Service was very good and the tuna steak was definitely a great choice! I highly recommend it.

Amazing martinis, and i don’t think I’ll ever get tired of bang bang shrimp.
I have obsessively tried to find one of those secret restaurant recipe cookbooks that tell you how to make some kind of approximation of bang bang shrimp and never even gotten CLOSE. Great drinks and always friendly staff.

Busy place and very friendly when we walked in.
Service is great. He was very engaging and informative.
I had the lobster stuffed shrimp on a bed of creamed spinach. Great choice :) Also had a locally brewed IPA which was very tasty.

Fast service the food was amazing and there was very quick seating love it here will have to come back again.

For a corporate chain the food is very good. Every time I go the food is always cooked properly and the service is decent. Love the atmosphere of this place. My only complaint is that the tables seem a little too crowded. Try the tuna steak!

Great food, awesome atmosphere love it. I 100% recomend this place. Great American food.

despite showing up 15+ min too late for my reservation and them canceling it in the system, they did right by placing me ahead of a 20-​minute wait. I sat next to another couple at a high table and since I was dining alone it made for some conversation at the dinner table. Michael C was my server and I needed or wanted for nothing. The manager came by twice to make sure all was perfect.
I had one of the specials and restaurant favorites… the Imperial Talapia dish stuffed with baby shrimp a side of spaghetti squash and for dessert (which I could have shared with 3 other people) a huge wedge of the Coconut Pie.

You can’t just add lemon juice to seafood and call it ceviche. Ceviche is supposed to be raw, fresh, simple and delicious– It was none of those.
Wagyu beef dumplings were sloppy and salty.
Stuffed tilapia was ok.
Bartender was friendly enough.
Price is cheap.
Food came out almost too quickly.

Bang bang shrimp — need I say more? They are addicting! Staff always awesome :)
Apparently need to say more or Unilocal isn’t happy :)
Bang bang shrimp is addictive and their bisque is very tasty. Like eating outside, but road noise can be distracting.

Though I did enjoy the ceviche, the service was surprisingly poor. From having to ask for our water to be refilled (every time) to waiting 10 minutes (which is a long time when you know they are ready to go in the kitchen) for a dessert to be brought out, it was a long dinner. If you’re going to be a waiter/​server, please show up and be attentive This may be your job and I know you may have had a long day, but this was our dinner. It should be more of an experience then just eating food.

As usual the bang bang shrimp was nothing short of scrumptuous! I ordered a meal (cant remember the name) that was a combination of fried rice, mango salsa and grilled chicken. The fried rice and mango salsa were good but the grilled chicken left much to be desired. It was ridiculously dry. Since there was no sauce in the dish, it was hard to get past that. Had they not overcooked the chicken, the dish would have been great and this review would have been 5 stars.
I was a bit disappointed but lets hope that they redeem themselves the next time I decide to dine there.

I had the boneless pork chop with fontina cheese, and mushrooms. I chose potatoes as my side and it was all together a great dish. A bit on the saltier side so don’t salt your veggies. The sauce was amazing. Will probably choose this again next time I go.
The bread they serve when you get there is very «Macaroni Grill but the pesto and olive oil was better. Bread wasn’t bad.
The server was nice, but the food came out staggered. We got two plates, then 2 more 5 minutes later and than the last one after that.
Spend a little over $ 100 with tip on a group of 5 so this will be once every season kinda of place.

There’s no real need to go to chain restaurants in Frederick because there are so many amazing independent places here, but sometimes you just end up at a chain. And, if you do, Bonefish isn’t the worst place to end up.
I’ve always found the service to be good (but very pushy with their specials) and the food, especially the seafood, to be darn tasty. As most people have mentioned in previous reviews, the coconut shrimp and the bang bang shrimp are amazingly good. It’s worth coming here just for those if you’re in the mood for seafood.
The place is very big so you can almost always get a seat without a reservation. I’ve never had an issue, but I’m sure there are times when a reservation is most likely needed.

Great ambience. Went with friends, and had a pleasant time. Great customer service. The food was good. Nothing spectacular. I loved their bread and specialty cocktails. The Moscow mule was delicious! Wasn’t a fan of their truffle mac n cheese — the noodles were too soft and it was bland in taste.

I made a reservation three weeks ago for Valentine’s Day and the woman I spoke to over the phone never recorded any of my information.
I was transferred to a manager when my information couldn’t be found. He also searched to no success.
He told me that I was welcome to come in and wait on a table, but he couldn’t tell me how long my wait would be. I didn’t receive an apology or any accommodations for the poor service.

No matter where I am Bonefish is always a pleasant experience. You can catch there happy hour at 4 I think everyday and get good drink prices. House wine is only $ 3.25 during. We got the crab fried rice and a couscous dish they added to their menu. Everything was so good. Plus the service is always excellent!

Wow, I can honestly say I was very impressed with our trip to Bonefish. Seriously, the food, the drinks, the service, all wonderful. I never give 5 stars to chains but they totally deserve it.
First, our server Chloe was on point the whole time. She absolutely contributed to the experience. Next, the drinks were great. You never really know what you are going to get from the bar in these chain places but their bar was very nice and had quality drinks.
Bang Bang Shrimp is a must. I like to dump mine out of the bowl once the sauce drips down into the lettuce. You should try it. My husband had the Fontina Chops with the crab fried rice and both were delicious. It had been years since my last Bonefish trip but I went with my «usual» which is a medium rare filet with the Lily’s Chicken topping (goat cheese, spinach, artichoke and creamy butter sauce). Man, was it delicious paired with the au gratin potatoes and the zucchini and tomatoes. If I wasn’t still so full I would go eat my leftovers right now.
Also, they have a special Bang Bang menu on Wednesdays which was priced awesome and we’ll likely be checking it out very soon.

THIS IS THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE I’VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!
I was looking forward to trying a new (to me) restaurant because I love seafood. We arrived last Saturday night around 7:30 and the place was a zoo. The hostess quoted us an hour wait. Fairly reasonable so we took a pager and headed to the bar.
There weren’t any open seats so we found a spot at the far end to stand at. The blond bartender actually made eye contact w/​JV within 5 minutes and took our drink order. Well, one was garnished with a lime and one wasn’t so I grabbed a lime out of the service bar container for the bf so the male bartender yelled at me that I couldn’t do that because it’s a food safety issue. Oh really? Ok Mr. Bartender, do you wash your hands every time you have to get a lime? NOPE. Do you put on gloves? NOPE. My hands are probably much cleaner than someone who has been pouring drinks and clearing dirty glasses and dishes all night. And I promise you I took care to only touch the lime I picked up.
Anyway, about 40 minutes in to our wait, the couple at the bar directly in front of us graciously told us they were leaving so we could take their seats. The blond bartender came over relatively quickly and gave us menus, though she did not ask if we needed another round since our drinks were empty. Since it looked we had another 15 – 20 minutes to wait for a table, I returned the pager to the hostess and said we’d eat at the bar. Silly me.
Even though we were starving and immediately decided what to eat, neither bartender came back to take our order and left us sitting there for 15 minutes. I’ve worked in restaurants, I understand it’s crazy busy, just tell me you see me and that you’ll get to me as soon as possible. Yet the bartenders had time to ask a couple that sat down AFTER us what they would like twice.
So I went back to the hostess and asked if it would be possible to get our spot back since the bartenders were not taking orders. I honestly expected to be told we’d have to go to the end of the line but she said no problem, we could have the next table and gave me another pager. Yay!!!
Except we stood right at the host stand and watched 3 other parties be paged and seated ahead of us. So now it’s acceptable to flat out lie to customers? Being told honestly we’d lost our place would have been perfectly understandable. But to promise us the next table only to have us waste yet another 15 minutes? Appalling.
Oh to top it off, a fight broke out between two women at the bar. Four police officers showed up to take a report (I guess) though no one appeared to be thrown out. This must be the classiest joint in Frederick!
Seriously, stay away from this dump. Clearly they don’t care about customer service.
