Love Bonfire. Great location and great food. I’ve become a regular on their Saturday night Karaōke.

WATCHURCARDWHENRUNNING A TAB!!! Lousy service. Last nite presented my card to cover tab. When done and wrapping up, they tried to give me someone elses bank card. BUTTHEYDIDNOTHAVEMINE!!! THEYGAVEMYBANKCARDTOSOMEONEELSE!!! Manager said he had us covered. Covered my bill for 4 guests. And offered additional cocktails. We accepted. When went to order«Irish Trashcan» bartendress said she never heard of them and didnt know how to make it. She had just made us 2 of them. Ladies wanted strawberry daquiris. Bartendress said they dont have a daquiri machine. Manager had given approvals then this person got a case of STUPID. Lousy service. Despicable. Immediately notified my bank. Canceled card. Now without bank card over holiday weekend. Thanks Bonfire bar staff.

Nice place with friendly staff. Menu has some great choices on it. I went with some fried pickles and the pork chops with potatoes and asparagus. All was very good and came out quickly. My only complaint is the food was all piled together so my asparagus tasted like potatoes and so on. Definitely worth stopping in.

Last fall, we went wine tasting at Treehouse Vineyard and Bonfire was set up outside selling food in a catering type style. My boyfriend and I got some macaroni and cheese to share and it was ahhhhhhh-mazing! So good in fact that we hunted down the actual restaurant, even though it is a little bit of a drive for us. Service has always been good. Manager and servers are very nice and friendly. We have eaten here three times and are pleased each time. I love the chicken caesar wrap(this should be no surprise at this point since I often speak of my love for wraps). At times, the chicken in it is somewhat dry but it is still good. My boyfriend has tried several things but his favorite is the buffalo wings. We both always get the macaroni and cheese because that was what brought us there in the first place. A heads up — they have pretty late hours(I think it is posted that they close at midnight) but they close a little early when it’s not football season. This hasn’t even been an issue for us but I wish that they would reflect this change on what they have posted.

We’ve visited several times for business dinners. The staff are very professional and timely. Very attentive. We’ve had the meatloaf, steaks, most of the appetizers. The food had great presentation and the food tastes fantastic. Truly a great restaurant!

I have been to Bonfire many times, for the food and for the nightlife. The food is excellent. The chef always creates different food specials each day, so make sure you ask about the daily specials. They’re pricing is very reasonable for the portions you receive. They offer karaōke, acoustic music, and live bands throughout the week. I always have a good time. All the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for something different than your generic chain restaurant.

Was in from out of town and needed dinner. Inside its pretty typical sports bar(not a bad thing), inside the menu you’ll find a lot of different things to eat. I got the grilled cheese(comes with mac n cheese and pulled pork inside and I added bacon. Because bacon) and onion rings(extra crispy). Everything tasted good. My server was just attentive enough. I will go back when I am in town again.

I’ve been to Bonfire One time since its been open but not for the food! I went on a Friday night when the club is open! I had a blast dancing And drinking! Lots of people there dancing and having a good time! So BonFire is not only a restaurant it’s a club on the weekends! My cousin tabby goes there a lot to the weekend club and she loves it! So I suggest to anyone looking for a Good time hit up Bonfire! You will not regret it!

This is a restaurant we have been to a few times and we like. My boyfriend gets the pork chop or meatloaf and I usually get a salad. Last time I got a strawberry salad w a crab cake on top. Flavors are very balanced and food presentation is always nice. Service has been good, friendly. I’m sure we will go back again soon.

Don’t order seafood here. Everything else is pretty good, though.

Decided to try a new restaurant and ended up at Bonfire. Nicely designed and spacious bar/grill with lots of seating. The menu offers a lot of choices from Pork Chops to Fish Tacos. I had the blackened fish tacos and they were awesome. Ordered onion rings as a side and they came with a mustard-based sauce that was a pleasant change from the typical ketchup. My fiancé had the chicken tacos and loved them as well. The pico de gallo was fresh and had a nice heat from the serrano peppers and the spicy aioli sauce added a unique dimension to the dish. Overall, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was great. Only complaint was with the crème brûlée. They used powdered sugar instead of sugar so the topping didn’t have the classic crispy crust that crème brûlée should have. We will definitely return to try other items on the menu

My girlfriend and I were looking for a late night eating option after attending a local concert. We found the ‘late night’ dinning in Concord to be extremely limited. We happened to find Bonfire on a random Tuesday night and we were very pleased. Staff were very warm and friendly, and the locals were notably welcoming. The menu was limited at midnight, but as far as their wings and Fat Tire on tap… we were very satisfied! We will go again if we’re in the area.

We decided on a casual evening at a local restaurant and, having not tried Bonfire Bar & Grill before we thought it was a good time to give it a go. We ordered loaded nachos as an appetizer — and asked for no chili. Not 5 minutes later a massive plate of nachos appeared. It was probably whole bag of tri-colored chips. The cheese sauce was interesting. It tasted like it had been cut with cream if that makes sense. There was unmelted cheddar chese sprinkled on top. Interesting. Not bad, just not like nachos we’ve had before. Husband ordered the fettucini alfredo with chicken. His chicken was very, very dry and it tasted«off». He didn’t eat more than a few bites and didn’t want me to try it. His alfredo sauce was very heavy on butter. The sauce broke in the bowl. It was a new menu item so perhaps the chef is still working out the kinks. I ordered the special. It was a 7oz filet with bacon wrapped scallops, asparagus and potato wedges — all covered in a blueberry reduction. This is where it gets interesting and confusing. I ordered my steak medium rare. It came perfectly cooked. My scallops were perfectly cooked — the bacon on the outside wonderfully crisp. The potatoes were perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside — soft on the inside. The asparagus — meh, it had been in a steamer for a while or something, not offensive but over done for sure. All of that perfectly cooked deliciousness was coated in a disgusting, sweet blueberry sauce. As it is, tonight’s sauce would have been better suited on ice cream — certainly not steak! I think maybe the sauce just needed something to cut the sweet — pepper maybe? But with a beautiful filet and really nicely cooked scallops — why sauce it? They would have been great on their own. Our server was very helpful and attentive. The staff in general were all kind and helpful. Prices seemed reasonable. Hopefully they’ll work the kinks out of their sauces and it will be a really great local place to have a nice meal.

We went there for the Valentine’s Day specials because we have had positive experiences at the Bonfire in the past. This was not one of them. First of all, I had to flag down a passing waitresses after 5 minutes or so because no one would wait on us. Then we found out the Valentine’s specials only included an appetizer for one and not both of us. What’s up with that? I ordered the sea bass and my wife ordered the filet mignon. Mine was pretty good but she thought the filet was a little small but not bad. I ordered the crepes suzette for dessert but it was so tough I could not cut it… even with a knife! On top of that, the server took my dinner fork, when the dessert came, I asked her for another fork. She never brought it! I had to ask another passing server for help. I hate to be negative but I doubt we will be back. It’s a shame as we need good restaurants in Concord and we had high hopes for Bonfire.

Had to ask for water. Small town beer selection :( Over cooked, under-weight ribeye. Tough, heat lamp fries. Waiter called me «boss man»??? Gave my wife a stomach ache. Might be good for the local Ricky-Folk, but doesn’t really cut it.
