My food was EXCELLENT!
I had the burger with fries. However the fries as seen are thin cut steak fries. The burger was angus and the bun was nice and soft.
I was at a large table. One of my co-workers had the fruity pebble bam bam chicken and waffles. She loved every bit of it. She said she normally doesn’t eat all of her food but that day she did.
Another person had apple pie French toast but the apple weren’t soft or flavorful. Also it was said to have too many. They believed it wasn’t incorporated well. My wife had the California chicken sandwich and while she liked it, it was messy. We also had people who had breakfast and salads. Those seem to be well enjoyed.

Had my truly disappointing experience today at Bonfire Grille. We came here and ordered a few happy hour dishes during happy hour period, the owner decided to charged us 10 usd more for every order we placed.
Very dishonest service and the restaurant clearly deceives tourists on a regular basis. I would rate it zero stars if the platform allows. AVOID this place at all costs.

Bonfire is the best! Perfect for any type of meal. Staff is always kind and attentive. I get the California chicken sandwich each time and it always comes out perfect. Drinks also are amazing and are consistently good. We love Bonfire!

We had an awesome dinner at Bonfire Grill in Milford with my wife and two boys. We had some gift cards to use and were really glad we came. The service was excellent, fast, friendly, and super attentive. Everything came out quickly and our server was great.
The food was really solid across the board. The onion ring tower was crispy and delicious, and the ranch sauce it came with tasted homemade and full of flavor. The big soft pretzel was also a hit, especially with the honey dijon mustard, which was outstanding. The buffalo gorgonzola wings were great as always, big, juicy, and well-cooked, with a tasty blue cheese dip on the side.
The kids’ chicken tenders and fries were a hit, and the fries are worth calling out. Thin but steak fry-style, giving them a really nice texture. The Greek salad was super fresh and the dressing was unique and really tasty. We also tried the popcorn chicken with General Tso’s sauce, which was flavorful, though the portion size felt a little small for the price.
All in all, a great meal and experience! Just a friendly suggestion; on past visits, we’ve had sandwiches, and the rolls they came on were a bit tough and stale-tasting. Not a big deal, and possibly already fixed, but I just wanted to mention it as it pushed us away from getting a sandwich. That said, everything we ordered tonight was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back again!

Nestled in a quaint residential area, Bonfire Grille immediately dazzles with its vibrant and welcoming atmosphere as you enter. The decor, featuring garage doors and a central bar, creates a chic yet relaxed vibe that truly makes it stand out. Live music enhances the lively ambiance, making it ideal for an enjoyable night out with friends.
The culinary offerings at Bonfire Grille go well beyond typical bar fare, presenting a delightful blend of modern American and Italian influences. Each dish is hearty and satisfying, infused with inventive twists that elevate the dining experience. The fried Oreos, in particular, are the quintessential indulgence—deliciously hearty and a true treat, albeit not commendable for their healthfulness. However, those seeking a quiet, fine dining atmosphere might find the compact space and vibrant music a bit overwhelming.
Weather permitting, we certainly plan to enjoy the rooftop terrace on our next visit—a perfect setting for a more tranquil dining experience with ocean views.

Excellent afternoon bar hang for a solo lunch. Had the clam chowder to start. It was a solid choice with nice potato cubes and clam pieces. Lobster Rolls were fresh tasting with enough butter on the side to drizzle and dip. The Bonfire IPA was a good pour with the meal and the Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned was perfect after to sip and read with.

I should have believed the reviews. I have been to Bonfire Grill a few times and have always enjoyed the food. This time I took a chance despite some of the reviews I read, and ordered the fish & chips. The many reviews that state the actual fish portion is small and way over battered are absolutely correct. One would assume that with many reviews offering the same criticism of a particular dish, a restaurant would make a change to it. Obviously, the “way over battered” critiques have fallen upon deaf ears as it remains the same. I will certainly go back to this very enjoyable place but will order a different entree next time.

Very good stop while we were waiting for our Airbnb to be ready. Good food & drinks and very nice people working there.

A little disappointed. Started with the mussels which were good though a couple were sandy. Fish and chips was wicked over battered, with raw batter in the middle. Tartar sauce was delicious as was the coleslaw. Got the strawberry pie to go. Do not recommend. It was freezer burnt and the mousse was very grainy. Service was good. Unfortunate about the food. The kitchen smelled like they kept burning something.

Loved this place. I came for the first time with my wife. It gave me a island vibe. The music was nice. Molly was our host and she was great. We ordered some wings, fish sandwich and a chicken sandwich. Everything was yummy. To drink I had a diet pepsi and my wife had a watermelon drink. The place is clean. Small parking. Great family atmosphere.
