Bonefish Grill

Had a really enjoyable experience here. It was late in the evening around 9 on a Friday and no wait to eat. My boo I ordered bang bang shrimp app because THATS WHY U GO TO BONEFISH AMIRITE? So it was … Bangin. Then he got the bang bang tacos because he is now a straight up banger. I ordered combo lo mein with extra sauce and I loved it. Also I forget the servers name but she was SUPER sweet. She was telling me about her upcoming wedding and stuff it was cute. I mean id of course go back anyway but now I have to because I’m dating a bang bang shrimp addict. Need to go to bang bang anonymous.

Great service dinner menu was great.

We ate here on May 26, 2016. The food was fantastic and our waitress was amazing and full of great suggestions and had a wonderful personality. Highly recommend for a higher quality place to eat.

Great dinner option for a franchise restaurant. Quality ingredients in the teriyaki meal, fish tacos, and salads. Very fresh, very colorful. Speedy and friendly service. Affordable prices for surf and turf.

My husband and I rarely get to go out to dinner bc it isn’t in our budget. We went to Bonefish Grill last night, and I have to say that it was the best food we’ve ever eaten!!! The service was amazing as well! I’m so glad we decided to eat here instead of our original choice! Keep up the good work!!!

This is my third or fourth time at this Bonefish, part of the Outback chain. Had a reservation on a Tuesday for 7pm, and arrived slightly early, and they seated me immediately while I was waiting for my dinner mate.
Since I’m trying to watch the carbs, thought this was a good place to pick, though I’ve never been bowled over by their food before. Our waiter was a bit over the top, not necessarily intrusive, more like too much «bro-​talk.» What’s up with waiters that think two gentlemen eating alone (myself and my son) need to approached with macho affirmations? The service was fine, if not a little annoying.
They started us out with a loaf of fresh-​baked bread and butter, which my son tells me was quite good. We passed on their practically-​shoved-​down-​your-​throat Bang Bang Shrimp, and we started with the Ceviche, which was brought out simultaneously with my side caesar salad. The app consisted of pre-​cooked shrimp and minced bay scallops in juice with «fish (?), fresh pineapple, coconut, cilantro and guacamole.» Truthfully don’t remember the guac (it may have been there). Pre-​cooking the fish defeats the dish’s purpose — it’s supposed to be only slightly cooked, not tougher than it should be from cooking twice. It came with large tortilla-​like chips. I ordered the rainbow trout, and though they tout several «complimentary sauces,» I decided since they hype that their «market-​fresh fish are cooked to perfection over a wood-​burning grill,» I went sans sauce, to be supposedly accompanied by a «fresh-​grilled lemon.» Maybe the citrus fell off the plate on the way to the table. I chose spinach and broccoli for my sides — going for the green I guess. My son ordered the Spicy Tuna Bowl.
The trout was not flaky at all, more like a nondescript, flavorless, mushy mess. The attached fins and skin DID alert me to what gave its life for me to eat only a third. The veggies were a bit overcooked, but acceptable. And my son said the Tuna Bowl was good, and the seared ahi was cooked properly.
All in all, the atmosphere is nice, and the service is adequate. I would give this maybe a half star over Red Lobster. I can’t speak to their red meat entrees, but they have a wider selection of fresh fish and associated higher prices. But most likely won’t go back on my own.

Love, love, love this restaurant! My friend and I go every Monday for lunch! The service is GREAT and the food is fabulous! Try the bang bang shrimp, coconut shrimp or crab cakes! Or try the fish and chips! Actually we’ve tried almost everything and it’s all great! Love this place and we enjoy the whole experience there! Everyone is so friendly and we have many favorite servers now! Hostess, manager, chef are all so friendly! Did I say I love this place?

First I would like to start by saying I have dined at Bonefish grill twice. My first experience I was pleased with so I returned again. If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would.
I ordered crab stuffed shrimp which was on their specials menu. The specials menu was not divided into courses (appetizers, entrees, etc), it just listed each dish out. At the very bottom it stated all entrees came with two sides. I was very excited for my meal and even when the meal arrived it was very tasty. Are you ready for the icing on the cake?
When my bill arrived I was surprised by the total because the price on the bill was not the same price listed on the specials menu. Let me just say I don’t ever let prices steer me away from a meal. If the meal is worth it and I’m not blindsided the price doesn’t matter. I questioned my waitress because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss something. She seemed annoyed by me questioning her and her response was the price listed on the specials menu is an appetizer price. How was I supposed to know that when at the very bottom of the menu it stated «All entrees come with two sides». Talk about misleading.
I went home and wrote to the corporate office to discuss my experience. Only because misleading menus lead to very unhappy customers and they should be aware of that. It said I would be contacted ASAP. An entire week goes by and I heard nothing, so I sent another message. It wasn’t until that time that I was contacted by one of the local managers. I was given the apologies and I hope you will dine with us again speech that ended with I want to send you something in the mail. So I rambled off my address and waited for that something. It’s been over 2 months and that something never arrived (not that it matters). My point in this whole review is, it’s clear the customer service at Bonefish grill is terrible and I will never be returning. Thank goodness for Pinterest now I can make my own bang bang shrimp!

I tried this restaurant twice. The service is good and you can make a rezi which is a plus for a chain restaurant. Their signature dish is the Bang Bang Shrimp. It is so good, I could it that all day. However everything else is just meh. I’ve tried the shrimp/​scallop meal and a fish sandwich. Totally tasteless. If I ever return, I’d just have the bang bang shrimp.

Aside from the always amazing bang-​bang shrimp, the spicy ahi tuna bowl was delicious. The bar was not too crowded, and the bartenders were friendly and personable, making for a great mid-​week happy hour experience. I’m not always a fan of chain restaurants, but if I have to pick one, Bonefish would be near the top of my list.

One of my favorite lunch destinations and so this review is based on my lunch experience alone. This location is convenient to the many errand spots and stops one must accomplish during the day so I usually feel somewhat rewarded when Bonefish Grill ends up being the last stop over my lunch break.
My first impression while entering through their revolving door was that this place feels smooth and looks inviting.
We were promptly greeted by the hostess and then were led through the warmly lit dining room to the most comfortable, cushiony booth ever!
The dining room was fairly busy with an active lunch crowd yet I quickly noticed how pleasantly peaceful the sound level was even with all the conversations around me going in full tilt. How relaxing and refreshing not to have to shout to your dining partner.
We were warmly greeted by our server who was wearing a very nicely pressed professional looking waiters jacket as did the other servers and bar staff. Nice touch.
While glancing through the menu I immediately realized that an overabundance of delightful choices lie ahead of me! Not your same old same old lunch options at all.
Great appetizer listings include things like the Bang Bang Shrimp, PEI mussels, lamb lollipop chops, fresh oysters and much more. There are soups like lobster bisque, or corn chowder and lump crab. The menu also features wedge salads, cobb salads, cilantro lime shrimp salad, Fresh fish of the day, Sandwiches such as BFG fish, Kobe beef burger, Bang Bang Shrimp tacos. Too much to list but if choosing is hard to do then there is always the lunch combo.
The lunch combos allow you to go with a soup and salad, or the soup or salad and wrap, or soup or salad and soft tacos and are all under $ 10.00.
All in all lunch at the Bonefish Grill is a first class experience at an affordable price.

Slimy and greasy
Almost broke my neck slipping on greasy floors, I guess the children working there are above cleaning floors. I have never seen a restaurant with so many employees standing around not doing a damn thing. Service was terrible, food presentation was a joke and food was standard fair at best. My advice to the owner, Do Better

I would like to comment and say my fiancé and I returned to Bonefish for lunch, it was a much better experience. Lunch hours are definitely the time to come dine to avoid hours of waiting and a crowded, restless mob of people hovering the check-​in. Our service was very good and we had a quick but nice lunch.
As always, the food was delicious. Their lobster bisque is amazing and the bang bang shrimp is a must try.

Let’s start the review with my meal was so good at the restaurant … I ordered my meal as takeout.
I started with the house salad … hearts of palm, olives, and spring greens … lemon vinegarette yummy
My entrée was highly recommended by people waiting to be seated … scallops and shrimp with a tomato garlic light sauce … with their version of scalloped potatoes … which was the epitome of comfort food.
Wait … I skipped the warm bread with dipping oil … you can’t just eat one piece of bread.
The manager came over, introduced himself, & personally took my takeout order.
The portions left me satisfied not full. I bet if I had ordered dessert I would have moved from satisfied to stuffed.
Can’t wait to go back.

Although this is a chain, I think it is worth reviewing because it is new to the North Hills and many of you may not have dined here before like you have other chains. Bonefish is much more elegant inside than your typical chain eatery, but not so fancy that you can’t just walk in from off the street… it is a chain after all. The must-​try dish here is the Bang Bang Shrimp. Before trying the dish at Bonefish, I had made a similar copycat dish from Skinny Taste and it was delicious so I knew the real thing would also be good and I wasn’t disappointed. The shrimp are battered and fried and then coated in a creamy sriracha/​spicy chili sauce and served on a bed of lettuce. It should be mandatory for any first time Bonefish diner to order these shrimp. SO SO GOOD!

Enjoyed a date night dinner out last evening at Bonefish grill & loved it.
Despite the full parking lot, we were seated immediately, were provided excellent service, and wonderful food & cocktails. Great quality from start to finish. Atmosphere is slightly upscale but comfortable. We will definitely be back.
The bar is attractive — makes you want to sit there for drinks & appetizers. Our table was ready so quickly that we didn’t need to do so this time, but maybe next visit.
More specifics: all were great & I would order again
Winter White Cosmo drink special
Craft beer choices
Bang Bang Shrimp
Warm bread with dipping oil & seasoning
Wedge salad
Shrimp & scallops
Tuns were all perfectly cooked.
Sauces complimented nicely but didn’t overpower flavors of the amazing sea food.
Took some pics & will comment on those.

I think 4 would be fair however our waiter was way too in our faces, it was annoying to say the least and the fact that he repeated our orders and still got mine wrong and then blamed the cooks repeatedly telling me that he put the order in right and it was the kitchen’s fault… just say your sorry and move on. It was like he could not leave it alone. On with the review… we went on a Saturday for dinner so it was packed. We almost could not get in the door. It was packed. I will say make a reservation because we did and after we finally got to the hostess we were seated immediately. The wait for others, over an hour. We were greeted by a waitress who was nice but then she tagged out with the waiter who was not good. He spent what felt like 10 minutes explaining the menu and drinks and apps and everything in between. He kept repeating himself. We were annoyed. They were out of the sea bass which was a bummer. We ordered apps. Our friends got the steamed edamamme which was really delightful. We chose the fried calamari which was lightly breaded and fresh. For drinks… they rocked it! My friend got the apple martini which was really good but on the very sweet side. Her hubby got a mojito which was excellent. I got the raspberry martini and it was so fresh and delightful. So good I got another. For our entrees I got the swordfish with mango also and chose to add an upgraded side of smashed sweet potatoes. What I got was the swordfish special that came with pumpkin ravioli. The manager came over and apologized and they corrected it. I did eat the pumpkin ravioli and they were very good. The fish was very fresh which is terrific! My friend got a salad and noted that the dressing was water. Her hubby got steak and crab cake. It was a very thin fillet and the crab cake was small. My hubby got a steak and enjoyed it noting it was cooked as requested. We opted out of dessert. We could not take our waiter any more. He was very intrusive. Overall the food and drink was very good but the wait staff was not good!

Still so many kinks to work out… But the mere fact that bonefish is now open is a plus.
Service is good but not quite polished yet. There were a few hiccups during our meal but overall it was a pleasurable experience.
It was Halloween night and they were offering their three course special. We had the bangin shrimp, which was really tasty and a good portion size for the price. Husband got the rainbow trout, I was getting the tuna steak. After about 15 mins, I was informed they had sold out of the tuna steak. The kitchen may want to communicate to their servers when they sell out of something In a timely manner. I opted for the tuna bowl…
Husband was not too pleased his trout came with the skin on and didn’t find the fish to be flavorful. I was very disappointed with my tuna bowl. Almost inedible.
The «seared» tuna that was supposedly rolled in sesame seeds was not warm at all and literally tasted a bit frozen in the middle. Not pleasurable at all. I looked around and noticed the lady next to me happily eating her tuna bowl, so it might just have been my meal… I’m sad nonetheless.
We will probably come back again as bonefish is a solid place to go, but we will go back after they work out their kinks.

Came for brunch this morning with a group of people on reservation. I had no problem making the reservation or having checks separated. The greeting and wait staff were all super friendly.
I ordered the mimosa and the bang bang shrimp Benedict with asparagus. I thought the food and drink were great, though I would have preferred a more traditional hollandaise sauce than the thick almost cheese-​like sauce on the bang bang Benedict. Others who ordered traditional Benedict did appear to have the standard hollandaise sauce.
I will def come back and I look forward to trying dinner next time.
So I’ve been back to Bonefish twice since the original review above. Once was for brunch with a friend and I was advised they are not serving brunch any longer, despite the website stating they do. I got salmon and some veggies. Very basic, but it was def tasty.
The other time I went with a friend and ordered the Caesar salad, which was quite small and not exciting. I also ordered crab cakes which were a complete disappointment not only were they very small, but they were also more like patties that would come from a non-​seafood restaurant trying to serve something gourmet-​ish. Total fail for Bonefish.
I feel like their food is inconsistent and certainly not anywhere near as good as it was when I first tried them so many years ago. I may go back, hut only if others want to go there and nowhere else. Otherwise, there is far better quality only a few minutes away.

Three stars? Really, if it were possible to bump it up to 3 ½, that would be fair. First, let me say that fresh fish in Pittsburgh is always a good thing and reasonably priced fresh fish is a win!
Let’s start with the cocktail. A Patron cucumber margarita on the rocks was beautifully presented in a salt and pepper rimmed glass. It was okay, but there was no discernable cucumber to it.
My dining companion enjoyed the always popular Bonefish classic, Bang Bang Shrimp — once again, beautifully presented. She really enjoyed the gentle heat at the end of each bite!
Chilean Sea Bass on the menu? My lunch decision was made, it’s one of my favorite swimmy foods! With a choice of several sauces or toppings for the fish (as I recall maybe 5 or 6 options), I went with the mango salsa and a side of green beans. Chilean sea bass is normally a tall piece of flaky white fish, this didn’t look anything like it should have. Instead, a thin slice — no more than ½″ high — sat on my plate with not a raw mango salsa, but more of a cooked mango, red pepper and onion sauce like no salsa I’ve ever encountered. A neat pile of green beans lay on the side of the fish. Presentation? Boring.
Taste? Okay, but overcooked… probably because of how the fish was cut. The mango sauce (not salsa) too sweet and gloppy for the fish. The green beans were nearly raw. The manager came to the table to ask how our lunches were. When I pointed out the way the fish was cut, he was surprised and said he was going to the kitchen to insure the fish would be cut properly. To be fair, this location just opened… perhaps the kitchen staff isn’t yet up to snuff in how to cut various types of their product yet. The manager did comp the plate.
Dessert. Dear Lord, the Macadamia Flourless Brownie with vanilla ice cream was amazing! But, Bonefish is a sister restaurant to Outback… this is a sister dessert to the flourless brownie there. The macadamia nuts made it even better than Outback!
Would I go back? Sure! You’re not paying for fine dining… it’s a chain. The food is good (the brownie is excellent!), and the service is outstanding. Bonefish is a welcome addition to the North Hills dining scene. Just wish Unilocal would allow me to give it 3 ½ stars. Maybe my next visit will earn it a solid 4?
