Food Notes: Bonefish Grill & Mo-Joe's

Bonefish

Eight years ago, in St. Petersburg, Florida, the first Bonefish Grill was born. Their success has taken them throughout the Southeast and Northeastern coasts. Now the Bonefish Grill is expanding to the Macon area. The new restaurant is expected to open on March 17 at 5080 Riverside Drive in The Shoppes at River Crossing, the new Jim Wilson & Associates development. Bonefish Grill is an exciting and refreshing new choice on the restaurant scene. They offer a polished, casual dining experience in a sleek décor warmed with golden hardwood, art glass lamps, and an inventive art collection of metal works and fish rubbings. Their signature menu is comprised of carefully selected fish, hand-cut beef, chicken and pastas. Utilizing a wood-burning grill, innovative flavors, and original recipes, Bonefish Grill offers a delicious and healthy cuisine that’s “quite a catch” here in Macon. Hours of operation will be Sunday 4-10, Monday-Thursday 4-10:30, and Friday- Saturday 4-11:30. 478-477-5256 www.bonefishgrill.com

Mo-Joe's

Mo-Joe's is said to be "the best little wing joint in the neighborhood" by most who live in North Macon… but with chicken wings that have been voted Best In The Nation for two years in a row that may be an understatement. Eric Califf and Todd Rivers are the guys to be credited for this. They both gave up careers in completely different fields to follow the 10-year-running restaurateur itch. About five months later, there was Mo-Joe's. Mo-Joe's offers up salads, sandwiches, wraps and a variety of appetizers. Are you in the mood for something other than pizza? Guess what. They deliver! Call them up at 757-8009, or drop in at their location in the Kroger shopping center off Zebulon.
