Friends Tim Curci and Chris Parker's love for catching and cooking fish was manifested in the opening of the first Bonefish Grill in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 2000. The chain focuses on "elegant simplicity" in its fresh, seasonal seafood dishes. And the dedication pays off: Consumers voted Bonefish Grill the best restaurant for quality of food in a 2016 Technomic survey.

Employees at Bonefish Grill elevate the dining experience by greeting every guest individually, guiding them through their menus, and providing what the restaurant calls "chef's coat service." All things considered, the chain earned a fourth-place ranking in customer satisfaction.
