Bone’s Fish & More

Man… if you are in Nashville this is a must stop! My wife and I drove thru the Bones Fish Shack on our way to the airport… the slight detour was well worth it! Josh, the owner’s son, and his gorgeous wife Lutece, made us a polish sausage sandwich that was die for! In California, I never would have thought to deep fry a polish sausage but man was this perfect with mustard and grilled onions and bell peppers! Then we had two fat plates of catfish fried to a perfect crisp with fries, baked beans and potato salad! This place is a true Southern gem and a must stop if you are in Cashville! We will be back for sure!

Best BBQ I have had in a really long time. I have lived in the area for about a year, past it all the time and alway meant to stop. The building is not much to look at, but my experience with barbecue is that the best barbecue comes from the most unexpected places. Staff was friendly and nice, ton of food for the price. I’ve tried the barbecue place down the street, Bones blows it out of the water. So good. Definitely will be having a whole lot more of Bones.

The catfish combo was edible but bland. I requested no pickle or mustard and the only other toppings were onion and maybe one splash of hot sauce. The polish sausage was over cooked and the «toppings» we’re not good at all. The onions we’re over cooked and there was barely any peppers in the mix and there was maybe a quarter inch worth of mustard on it. Lastly, the potato salad was okay at best. When I go to mom and pop shops I expect homemade sides at minimum, but the potato salad was definitely store bought.

I had no idea this was a drive-​up little hut, hahaha. That part was just funny — I should have read the Tips on here more carefully before going. Anyways, I got the catfish sandwhich and fries. I just didn’t think it was that good.

Great fish sandwiches but a little over priced for the small pieces you receive. Deliciously flavored and cooked to perfection. The staff is always very friendly.

Good fish sandwiches. Wings are in a sauce that is more sweet than spicy. Inexplicably they don’t have tartar sauce. You park a little ways up the hill and they bring it to you. Call ahead for speedier service. Also, their delivery system seems a bit flawed as they gave my food away twice.

Best fish I’ve had at a restaurant or fast food joint. Although they do take some time to get you your food & parking is unconventional it’s great. The fish is made to order so it is always fresh. Both whiting and catfish are good there. And my mom loves their spaghetti!

They have the nicest staff of any restaurant in town. The food quality is fair. The spaghetti was the WORST that I have ever eaten because it was sweet. Who puts SUGAR in spaghetti? Only because I don’t want to drive all the way out E. Nashville to E. Side Fish is the reason I would patronize Bone FIsh to satisfy my craving for a Whitening Fish Sandwich. NEVER would I subject my pallet to their spagheti

Another example of my snooty presuppositions keeping me from trying a hole-​in-​the-​wall joint. Bone’s has taught me to get over myself already — great food can be found in what is essentially a tiny plywood box, even in the dining destination desert of South Nashville bordering Antioch.
My fiancé called and asked if we could call our lunch order in recently (since as other reviewers have mentioned, the wait can be long) — no problem. I had a bad cold and was in the mood for something spicy to allow me a little breathing relief. He asked for a suggestion, since there are no menus posted online, and the server suggested their hot wings. The wings are quite spicy and slightly sweet — possibly from honey. They’re served with white bread and ranch dressing and even through my cold, I could taste every bit of them.
Now that I’ve stopped judging them, I’ll definitely be back to make my way through the menu.

The wait can be long, but food always fresh and hot. I had the catfish sandwich today, but I love the wings, they have a tangy spice kick. And the Carmel cake melts in your mouth

Still excellent fried southern fish. But it’s missing an important ingredient: sauce. The place uses simple mustard or hot sauce, but it desperately needs a tartar or mayo based sauce to accompany the excellent fish. The fish itself is delicious, but the sandwich feels [slightly] lacking and dry without some sort of sauce.
