  How many Bonefish Grills are there in the U.S., and which states have them? Approximately 157 locations across 27 states · Florida has nearly 30% of all locations (47 restaurants) · No locations in California, most of the Midwest, or the Mountain West · Use the official locator at locations.bonefishgrill.com

  Florida dominates the Bonefish Grill footprint in a way that surprises people who encounter the chain elsewhere. With about 47 locations in a single state, Florida represents roughly 30% of the entire chain — a legacy of the restaurant’s Tampa Bay origins. After Florida, the densest concentrations are in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina. States with no Bonefish Grill locations at all include California (which had locations years ago but closed them), most of the Midwest and Mountain West, and the entire Pacific Northwest except for one remaining location in Washington state. If you are planning a visit while traveling, the best check is the official store locator at locations.bonefishgrill.com — enter your city or zip code and it will show current operating locations with addresses, hours, and phone numbers.

  What are Bonefish Grill’s typical hours? Dinner only at most locations: approximately 4 PM–10 PM weekdays, 11 AM–10 PM Saturday, 11 AM–9 PM Sunday · Some locations now serve lunch starting at 11 AM · Hours vary — always call or check the locator before driving over

  Bonefish Grill built its brand as a dinner restaurant, and the large majority of its locations still open only in the late afternoon. The typical dinner-only opening time is around 4 PM on weekdays, often 3 PM or earlier on Fridays. Some locations that have added lunch service open at 11 AM and run through the afternoon and evening. Sunday hours at most locations close an hour or so earlier than weekday closing. The single most important thing to do before visiting is check your specific location’s hours — either through Google Maps, the restaurant’s detail page on the locator, or by calling directly — because hours genuinely vary by location and day, and not all locations have the same schedule. This matters most if you are hoping to catch Social Hour, which typically runs from 4 PM to 6:30 PM and requires arriving when the bar is open.

  Is my local Bonefish Grill closed? Where did it go? Several locations have closed in 2024–2025 due to lease expirations and Bloomin’ Brands’ portfolio consolidation — not from poor food quality · Closed locations include sites in Virginia, New Jersey, Washington, Florida, and others · Check locations.bonefishgrill.com to confirm current status

  This is one of the most common and understandably frustrating discoveries: driving to a Bonefish Grill that turns out to have closed without much public announcement. Bloomin’ Brands closed 41 restaurants across its portfolio in early 2024, closed 21 more in late 2025, and identified roughly 22 additional sites whose leases will not be renewed as they expire — some as far out as 2029. Most of these closures are driven by aging buildings with leases from the 1990s and early 2000s, landlord redevelopment decisions, or locations where the surrounding trade area has changed. The brand itself is not disappearing — Bloomin’ is actively investing in the restaurants that remain open, and comparable sales recently turned positive. But the physical footprint is smaller than it was five years ago. If your nearest location is gone, check the locator for the next closest — many closures have a surviving location within 20–30 miles. Gift cards from closed locations remain valid at any open Bonefish Grill and can also be redeemed at Outback Steakhouse locations.

  What is Social Hour at Bonefish Grill, and how does it work? Social Hour (formerly Happy Hour): Monday–Friday 4 PM–6:30 PM · Hand-crafted cocktails starting at $7 · Discounted bar bites including Bang Bang Shrimp · Bar area only at most locations · Hours and availability vary by location

  Social Hour is the name Bonefish Grill uses for what most restaurants call happy hour, and regulars treat it as a genuine occasion — not just a quick drink. During Social Hour, the bar menu features hand-crafted cocktails starting at $7, discounted wines, $1 off draft beers, and a selection of bar bites that includes the famous Bang Bang Shrimp, calamari, Ahi Tuna Poke, Wagyu Beef Sliders, and other rotating small plates at reduced prices. Social Hour is typically available in the bar and lounge area only — it does not extend to regular dining tables, though some locations have more flexible seating arrangements. The promotion runs every Monday through Friday from roughly 4 PM to 6:30 PM, though times can vary by location and the chain’s materials note that prices and hours may differ. Arriving by 4:15 PM on a busy Friday gives you a comfortable head start on seating, since the bar fills up quickly. For an early dinner paired with Social Hour pricing, asking to be seated in the bar area when you arrive is the right move.

  Does Bonefish Grill take reservations? Yes — reservations are accepted online at bonefishgrill.com or by phone · Strongly recommended for Friday and Saturday evenings · Walk-ins are welcome but waits of 30–60+ minutes are common on weekends · OpenTable also carries Bonefish Grill reservations

  Bonefish Grill is a reservation-friendly restaurant, and using that option will save you significant time on busy nights. Reservations can be made through the restaurant’s website (bonefishgrill.com — use the “Reservations” link on the location page for your specific restaurant), by calling the restaurant directly, or through OpenTable. Friday and Saturday evenings are when the wait for walk-ins most often stretches past 45 minutes, particularly at suburban locations that draw large family groups and couples. If you are going for Social Hour on a weekday, reservations are less critical — just arrive within the first 30 minutes of it opening and you should find bar seating without difficulty. For special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or holiday dinners, making a reservation a week in advance is sensible. The restaurant’s website also notes that special occasion requests (birthday desserts, anniversary setups) can be accommodated when noted in the reservation.

  What are the most popular dishes, and what should a first-timer order? Must-order: Bang Bang Shrimp (bar bites or appetizer) · Wood-grilled fresh fish — salmon, mahi-mahi, grouper, sea bass · Lobster Bisque · Linguine Diavolo · For Social Hour value: bar bites + a hand-crafted martini

  Bang Bang Shrimp is the dish Bonefish Grill is most identified with nationally — crispy shrimp in a creamy, moderately spicy sauce that sits in a category somewhere between appetizer and shared snack. Ordering it during Social Hour at the bar bite price is the best value entry point for a first visit. The wood-grilled fish program is the real soul of the menu: fresh fish is listed on a rotating basis depending on what’s in season and available, and a server will typically walk you through what’s available that evening. Atlantic salmon, mahi-mahi, grouper, and Chilean sea bass are reliable menu staples; swordfish and yellowfin tuna appear frequently as well. Each fish can be prepared with a choice of sauces and toppings, so the same protein eaten twice can taste quite different. The Lobster Bisque is a consistent crowd favorite as a starter. For people who don’t eat fish, the menu carries filet mignon, chicken, and pasta options — the Linguine Diavolo is the most popular non-seafood item among regular diners.

  Does Bonefish Grill offer carryout or delivery? Yes — carryout orders can be placed online at bonefishgrill.com or through the app · Third-party delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats) available at select locations · Carryout is full menu; some Social Hour deals are bar area only

  Bonefish Grill’s carryout program lets you order ahead online or through the app and pick up at a designated carryout area in the restaurant. The full dinner menu is available for carryout — including the wood-grilled fish, which travels reasonably well if eaten within 20–30 minutes. Bang Bang Shrimp holds up during a short carryout window but does lose some crispiness, so if it matters to you, eating in is the better choice for that particular dish. Third-party delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats is available at some Bonefish Grill locations but not universally — check the app for your specific location. One thing to keep in mind: the Social Hour bar bites pricing is specific to in-bar dining and does not apply to carryout orders, which are charged at regular menu pricing. For a weeknight family dinner at home, carryout from Bonefish is genuinely convenient; the online ordering system is easy to use and allows you to specify preparation preferences for each fish.

  Is Bonefish Grill and Outback Steakhouse the same company? Yes — both are owned by Bloomin’ Brands, a Tampa-based restaurant group · Other Bloomin’ brands include Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse · Bonefish gift cards can be redeemed at Outback locations

  Bloomin’ Brands, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, owns Bonefish Grill, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar. Bonefish was acquired by Bloomin’ in 2001, just a year after it was founded. The restaurants operate independently — different menus, different atmospheres, different price points — but share corporate infrastructure, which is why gift cards issued for one brand can typically be redeemed across others in the portfolio. This cross-redemption feature is practically useful: if your nearest Bonefish Grill has closed, any Bonefish gift card you hold can be used at Outback Steakhouse locations, which have a much wider geographic footprint with approximately 600 U.S. restaurants. The Dine Rewards loyalty program is also shared across Bloomin’ brands, meaning points earned at Bonefish can be redeemed at Outback and Carrabba’s.
