Seafood lovers in Boynton Beach might be disappointed to hear that their local Bonefish Grill was recently hit with a temporary shutdown after a state inspection uncovered several health violations. This popular seafood spot, located at 1880 N Congress Avenue, is known for its fresh, seasonal seafood and has been a go-to for many special occasions. But the August inspection revealed some serious cleanliness issues that led to the temporary closure.
For those who aren’t familiar, Bonefish Grill is a Florida-based chain, much like Red Lobster. It started in 2000 in St. Petersburg and has since expanded, offering seafood with a focus on detail and personalized service. The Boynton Beach location, in particular, has earned 4.4 out of 5 stars on Google from over 1,600 reviews. Some customers rave about their experiences, like Allie, who celebrated Mother’s Day there and said the food was great, and the server, Mac, handled her “crazy family” with ease.
However, not all reviews have been positive. One guest, Deepa, had an unfortunate experience, mentioning that after receiving bread for the table, she spotted a large roach crawling on the wall of their booth. When she reported it, employees casually explained that it was “bug night” because they had just sprayed the restaurant the night before. Deepa found their nonchalant attitude “disgusting.”
