Bang Bang Shrimp for sure.

I've enjoyed their crab cakes.

I'm in the minority but I don't find these to be anything special.

With that said, I recommend trying them since they are hugely popular.

I liked the shrimp and scallops last time I was there.

I'd recommend against the cocktail where the "glass" is the ice. It's tasty, but a mess.

Don't get a steak or the garlic mashed potatoes. Both are average to bad.

Bang bang tacos are good. Their cheaper items are usually better, imo.

You realize it is just a chain restaurant selling typical chain fair. It isn't some specialty seafood restaurant.

I've eaten there several times, always ordered one of their fish specials, and all have been pretty good. I love Parrains and Lagnaippe, but one can only eat black drum so many times. BF is the only place in BR I've had Arctic Char, and they do Chilean Sea Bass well. And they haven't committed the Cardinal sin of seafood and overcooked anything I've ordered.

I don't order shrimp in restaurants. Portions are always a joke

Most shrimp dishes serve about 4-6 shrimp and I don't know about you but I can eat a ton of shrimp.

I stick to steak and dense protein.

I think their apps and hand held items are better than their full entree selections.

I've eaten at about Bonefish 3-4X. Although grilled fish is my all-time favorite and it's what I've always ordered there, it's always been underwhelming - just noticeably bland. (Yes, I've had the bang-bang shrimp.)

I don't consider myself "anti-chain", but don't get the excitement for Bonefish.

To me it is on the level of outback or carrabas, maybe slightly better. Meaning, it can be pretty good, but it isn't great.

I tend to gravitate toward the Chilean Sea Bass with mango salsa.
