| - Suprisingly impressed with this quick little 5 store chain restaurant. Since this Boneheads is (currently) the only one in Charlotte, I wanted to check it out one sunny afternoon strolling around Ballantyne...
The ambiance is super clean, efficient and plenty of seating. You'll see tons of bright colors, tables (both high and low) and a couple of big booths. The menu is chock full of fishes. Fishes of all sorts, cooked in a variety of ways. Hubs wanted to start with the crispy shrimp app (tossed in a spicy aioli with a hint of Piri Piri) and while it's definitely not a health-conscious choice, it was damn tasty. Lightly fried shrimp with a spicy glaze...party in my mouth time.
For my lunch I went with the grilled mahi. All fish is chargrilled and lightly seasoned with Boneheads' special spices and come with seasoned rice, choice of a topping and a side. I chose the pineapple salsa topping and grilled zucchini strips. The fish was perfectly grilled and the pineapple salsa was very fresh and a perfect accompaniment. The rice was meh and while the zucchini strips were nice, grilled and crunchy, they were more akin to zucchini logs than strips. It was a bit tough to cut through them!
Overall, Boneheads serves up fast and fresh grilled fish that will please many. Be aware that it's not the cheapest option on the block - but for a nice piece of grilled fish and plenty of sides, it's a healthy, tasty choice.
