Fishbones - Southfield - Southfield (MI)

5 /5 Jennifer Callicutt: The food at this restaurant was incredible—everything was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. We also took advantage of the lunch specials, which were a great deal. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up, they do add an 18% gratuity to the bill, so be mindful of that. Overall, I highly recommend this spot and will definitely return whenever Im back in Detroit!

5 /5 Ja-Nee Reviews: Amazing experience at Fishbone Southfield! From start to finish everything was excellent. Our server was fantastic and gave great recommendations that did not disappoint. The food options were absolutely to die for. I ordered the lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor. For the price of the lamb chops, I did expect a little more, but overall the quality and experience were still great. I would definitely return!

1 /5 Chad Chilton: First and foremost, I have to update my review — apparently, the great experience my buddy and I had after work was a complete anomaly. Since moving to my new office (just three buildings down), I’ve been back twice for lunch, and both times were exactly what you’d expect from a forced-gratuity spot: God awful. The second visit really sealed it for me. I checked in on Swarm, so I know the timeline — from the time I checked in to the time I got my food, it was 45 minutes. That’s ridiculous for lunch. I only get an hour, but I ended up there for an hour and 20 minutes. Not good. Service? Even worse. The waitress never came back to check on me, and when I was finally ready to leave, I had to hunt her down for the bill. At one point, I just sat there… and sat there… to the point I was about ready to walk out. When she finally reappeared, she said, “Oh, I was in the back” — whatever that means. If you’ve got a long lunch break and don’t mind a server disappearing for most of your meal, sure, this is your spot. But if you’re on a time crunch? Avoid it. This is not the place for a quick, quality lunch.

2 /5 Lavell Walton: The food was mediocre at best and very overpriced. The alligator items were so having breaded that I couldn’t taste the meat and the breading was too salty. I also ordered the bayou platter and the fish was not seasoned at all. It’s not very often I don’t finish my food but this was one of those times. The key lime pie and raw oysters were good but it took over 10 minutes to get Tabasco sauce for the oysters. I won’t be going back here.
