Bonefish Grill gives service members, veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and military personnel 10% off their entire check, every day, and unlike some of its sister chains, it works with online ordering too.
Bonefish Grill is the seafood-focused chain known for wood-grilled fish, its Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, and a market-driven menu that changes with what’s fresh. It’s owned by Bloomin’ Brands, the same company behind Outback Steakhouse and Carrabba’s Italian Grill, both of which run their own version of the same discount.
How To Get The Bonefish Grill First Responder Discount
Dining in, show valid ID when you pay: a state or federal service ID, a U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card, a Uniform Services Retired ID Card, a current Leave and Earnings Statement, a Veterans Organization card, a DD214, a Veteran Identification Card, or a photo of yourself in uniform. Ordering online, Bonefish’s own terms say to select “pay at restaurant” at checkout and tell your Angler, the restaurant’s term for its servers, when you pick up your order.
The 10% comes off the entire check, but alcohol, gift card purchases, gratuity, and tax are excluded. It can’t be combined with Dine Rewards redemption, Bonus card redemption, the AARP discount, or Prix Fixe meals.
Q&A
Q: Does Bonefish Grill’s discount work for online and pickup orders?
A: Yes, and it’s explicit about it: Bonefish’s own terms say to choose “pay at restaurant” when checking out online and tell your server, called an Angler at Bonefish, when you arrive to pick up. That’s more generous than Outback and Carrabba’s, whose pages don’t mention online orders at all.
Q: Are EMTs and paramedics named specifically, or just “military”?
A: Named specifically. Bonefish’s terms list service members, veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics by title, alongside military personnel and their immediate family.
Q: Can I use the discount with a Bonus card reward or a Prix Fixe menu?
A: No. Bonefish’s terms exclude combining the 10% off with Dine Rewards redemption, Bonus card redemption, the AARP discount, or Prix Fixe meals.
Q: Does the discount cover gratuity?
A: No. Gratuity is one of the listed exclusions, along with alcohol, gift card purchases, and tax.
Q: Does the discount cover the immediate family of a military member?
A: Yes. Bonefish’s terms extend the discount to the immediate family of military personnel, in addition to the service member, veteran, police officer, firefighter, EMT, or paramedic themselves.
Q: Does it apply to catering orders?
A: Bonefish’s published terms don’t list catering separately the way some sister chains do. If you’re placing a large catering order, confirm with your local Bonefish before you order rather than assuming the discount carries over.
More Information:
Bonefish, Outback Steakhouse, and Carrabba’s Italian Grill all run a version of the same Bloomin’ Brands discount program, but the details aren’t identical: Bonefish is the only one of the three whose terms explicitly cover EMTs and paramedics by name and explicitly support online ordering. If none of the three are near you, the site’s Food + Drink discounts cover other chains with a verified rate.
