Bonefish Grill: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Bonefish Grill publishes an official vegetarian and vegan options list, which puts it ahead of most seafood restaurants when it comes to clarity. It’s still a seafood chain first, so don’t expect a deep vegetarian menu, but the documented list means you’re not guessing at the table. Bonefish is an upscale-casual chain owned by Bloomin’ Brands, the same company behind Outback Steakhouse, and it built its name on seafood and a polished dinner experience, so having any official vegetarian document at all is a genuine head start over most of its full-service peers.

What to order at Bonefish Grill

The Bonefish Signature Pasta is the most meal-like choice on the official vegetarian list, though it isn’t vegan. Pair it with the Bonefish House Salad, which appears on both the vegetarian and vegan lists, or build a plate from Jasmine Rice, Steamed Asparagus, Steamed Spinach, and the Seasonal Vegetable. The Chimichurri Sauce and Mango Salsa are both vegan and work well spooned over any of the sides.

What to watch out for

Bonefish prepares its vegetarian and vegan items in the same kitchen as fish, shellfish, and meat, and the company doesn’t certify any item as fully vegetarian or vegan. Its own vegetarian PDF excludes fried foods entirely because of cross-contact, so treat the French Fries as a check rather than a safe order. Ask for the Citrus Herb Vinaigrette instead of a creamier dressing if you want to keep the House Salad vegan.
