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, rotating through specialty dishes and drink offerings seasonally.[1]

Bonefish Grill offers alternate menus such as a gluten free option, Spanish, and braille menus. They are also able to aid in any allergy concern.

They are most recognized for their Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which consists of shrimp in a creamy spicy sauce.[1]

Charitable contributions

Bonefish Grill has a history of partnering with various charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross.[5][6]

Advertising

Alec Baldwin did a series of high-profile radio ads for Bonefish Grill in 2009–2011.[7][8]
