Show That Special Someone They're a "Real Catch" with a Meal at Bonefish Grill
There are some places you walk into and you know you've just hit on something very special. Bonefish Grill is one of those places. No matter how many times I grace their doors, it's always a pleasure!
We've added Bonefish Grill to our Holiday Gift Guide. Check it out HERE!
About Bonefish:
At Bonefish Grill, we do things a little differently. It all began in January 2000 in St. Petersburg, Florida, where our founders, Tim Curci and Chris Parker, opened the very first Bonefish Grill, fueled by their shared love for catching, cooking and serving fresh fish.
Bonefish Grill was founded on perfecting every detail for you, because we believe that a great meal is more than just food on a plate. It is the entire experience from start to finish, from our seasonal fresh fish, to our hand-crafted cocktails, to our personalized, memorable service. That is the Bonefish Way.
There is a certain ambiance that encompasses Bonefish Grill that can't be described with words, you have to experience it. From the friendly "Anglers" (Wait Staff) to the food presentation and everything in between - it's not just a meal, it's an experience. My family recently visited the Bonefish in Cary, NC (huge shout out to the staff - fantastic service!) and like every visit before, we left feeling a little lighter on our feet (but not in our bellies 😉 ).
Here's a rundown on the dishes we enjoyed:
For starters we enjoyed the Imperial Dip – tender shrimp, bay scallops, lump crab and lemon caper butter, served with seasoned house made tortilla chips - Oh MY! We may or may not have embarrassed ourselves with how quickly we devoured this yummy appetizer! So full of rich flavor - this is a must when you visit Bonefish, but hurry - it's only there for a limited time!
Dad had the Crab Cake appetizer. His only complaint was there wasn't enough! The texture and flavor was spot on. They were kind enough to add a small order of fries on the side to accompany the Cakes. He gave this appetizer a big thumbs up!
I ended my day with a bang - Bang Bang Shrimp that is. To be honest, this dish is what keeps me coming back to Bonefish. These little bites of Heaven never disappoint. Tasty and seasoned to perfection.
My eldest man child enjoyed the Filet Mignon with a side of the Crab Fried Rice. We didn't hear a peep from him from the moment his plate was sat in front of him. We saw a grin and nothing short of love in his eyes. I'm not sure but I think it just may have been love at first bite... (sorry - I had to 🙂 ).
We finished off the meal by sharing the Macadamia Nut Brownie. I really can't even put into words the little bites of deliciousness that this dessert holds. I will just say, we will not be sharing one the next time we visit Bonefish Grill!

I've never been there, but friends who have raved about it. Bang bang shrimp looks yummy.
I haven't eaten at Bonefish Grill. I just assumed they were another chain restaurant. Sadly, these days service in restaurants are just perfunctory with the waiters expecting tips no matter how lacking the service is. The last time I ate out the waitress didn't even offer to refill my drink. I like that Bonefish Grill gives an experience not just a meal. As a bonus the food sounds fresh and delicious.
Their dishes look great. We have one here but have never eaten there. Would love to try them out
I am not a fun of shrimp, but I think my mom would love to try the Bang Bang Shrimp. Seems to be a real crowd pleaser.
I love the photos! I would love to have the Bang Bang Shrimp and Macadamia Nut Brownie!!
I have never been to Bonefish, but my hubby says they are delicious.
Everything looks scrumptious! I am so overdue for a trip there. LOVE that place!
I ate at a Bonefish Grill once...about 6 years ago. I don't know why we haven't gone back since...because it was delicious! I'm taking my husband there again soon! I'd love to try the tilapia in their Pan Asian sauce!
I love Bone Fish Grill so much..We love the Bang Bang shrimp and the salmon..I also love the Martinis...yummyNow I am craving this place and ready to go back!!
I have never eaten here. The Bang Bang Shrimp looks really good. Love seafood.
Dang I didn't know the Imperial Dip had bay scallops in it. That looks really good combined with the shrimp and lump crab.
It all looks so good. I would like t try the crab cake appetizer.

I love how you provide full descriptions of each course you tried. Now I want to try Bonefish Grill!
The Imperial Dip looks delicious. I don't remember seeing it on the menu when I was there but it could have been added since it's been a couple of years since my visit.
I learned that a small order of fries comes with the Crab Cake appetizer.
I love that Bonefish Grill has gluten-free options. Their food is really good!
That looks so good! I'd love to try the Sirloin + Crab Cake Dinner.
I have only eaten at Bonefish a couple of times, but definitely plan to do it again. Haven't tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, so that might be my next dish to try--I often go for one of the white flaky fish dishes.
OMGoodness these brownies look amazing
I am glad that you added Bonefish to your Holiday Guide this year. They have a lot of interesting and delicious items on their great menu.
I pass by one all the time but I have never been there. I might have to make the trip.
Oh my that imperial dip looks so good!
I love Bonefish Grill. I wish we had one a little closer to us. I fell in love with their Bang Bang Shrimp last time I was there.
The Imperial Dip looks delicious
We often go to Bonefish Grill. I love trying their Fresh Fish of the Day, it's a great way to try different fish.
i haven't ever been to bonefish grill before but it does look good. i have heard great things about it.
The imperial dip sounds like it's made for royalty. LOL. Id love the rice side dish. My favorite is scallops and I went on their site to see what they have. OH> my ! They have a beautiful scallops and shrimp dish...Georges banks scallops and shrimp.? Never been to Bonefish but they have one in our nearby town. Thanks!
That's a really great promotion to take advantage of right now.
I like that there is a menu item for my husband. He is allergic to seafood but he can eat fish so I am glad there are some fish dishes he could eat. We need this after surviving Hurricane Harvey!
Their food looks sooo good!
I would like to try the fresh snapper and the three jumbo seasoned shrimp. I've never eaten here before and would like to change that soon.
I would like to see a bit more options on their menu. Some of us are picky seafood eaters. Most of their menu is not too accommodating to someone like me.
We love Bonefish! Ill need to try some of these meals!
The empirial dip looks great, I will have to try that!
I learned there is a location in my neighborhood. Oh how I want the grilled salmon. Mmmmm
There is one between the two cities I travel between and the other city but not my city. Boo.
We have one that opened up near us recently, but I have not been yet. Their menu looks better than I expected. I nned to try them out.

I love bone fish is seriously amazing, the quality and service is awesome
There is a lot to be said for the consistency, value and competitive pricing that I can get with a quality chain restaurant, and Bonefish Grill is a shining example of this. The food and service are excellent!. The bang bang shrimp is worth the trip
We love to eat at the Bonefish Grill. I like to get the Singapore Calamari appetizer. For my main dish I like to get the Chilean Sea Bass with Chimichurri sauce.
Reading your blog post makes me want to eat there this weekend

Thanks for the photos! Authentic photos that show what you actually get are way more appealing than the photoshopped ones in ads.
I've been hearing really great things about this restaurant. The awesome pictures have convinced me to give it a try!
We have a Bonefish Grill about 20 minutes from our house, but have never visited. Your dishes look awesome! We're going to have to plan a date night there. I'd love to try their rainbow trout.

All of this looks and sounds delicious. The Bang Bang Shrimp are such an essential appetizer. Also, that dip does look awesome. I must hurry in to try it!
I'm crazy about their corn chowder with lump crab! They have really good salads, too.
Your food looks and sounds like it was delicious! I also enjoy their Bang Bang Shrimp but have not tried the Macadamia Nut Brownie. That will definitely be on my order the next time we visit. Thanks for the review.
