| - Boneheads, Boneheads... I must have reviewed it somewhere along the line! But search as I might, I have NOT!! Until now! I've actually eaten here quite often. And, there's a reason for that - it's good. Well two reasons - it's also pretty healthy food (in comparison to MANY other options).
So Boneheads (in the Stonecrest Shopping Center) has several positive attributes: First, they serve fish - several varieties too. Mahi, Tilapia, Salmon, Grouper, Tuna and of course, Shrimp! We are fans when it comes to fish! AND much of it is offered grilled!! Even better! Tonight, I had the Tilapia and it was excellent! Okay, they also have baked chicken - I've had it; it's good too!
Second, while it's not exactly "fast food", you DO get your food quickly. So I think of it as "swift food!"
Third, the sides... again, several healthier options!! Grilled Asparagus, Grilled Zucchini, Sweet Potato Fries, and now they've added baked sweet potatoes! These, of course, are offered among several other options.
But, I need to mention that we ALWAYS start with the Boneheads Shrimp appetizer. This is one good dish!! The Shrimp is fried (okay, a little won't hurt!) and coated with their sauce and served with slaw. (1/2 order of the shrimp is about 250 calories)
If you know what a calorie is, and understand how you shouldn't consume all that you can in a day, take a look at their nutrition information, where you will see that you can eat out, eat good food, and have a great (relaxed) time within a reasonable calorie count.
At this location, there is a courtyard right beside the restaurant with several table for outside dining. On Friday night, they have entertainment - music that is always enjoyable, doesn't tend to have you covering your ears, and over which you can easily carry on your conversation. In a word, pleasant!!
So, why not five stars? I think that it must be price. For swift food, it seems to be edging JUST a little bit toward the "high" side. But never to fear, Boneheads always has some coupon offer going, either in one of the daily deal offer thingies, or in the mailers, or in a book. Just look around, find your coupon and go try it! You might find that it's worth going back even without the coupon (like we do!).
Oh, and yes, you can get beer and wine here as well! See you there!
