Score
Bonefish Grill appears in inspection records 11 times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 28, 2026. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to two violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “handwash sink used for purposes other than handwashing” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other Jacksonville restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
