Inside Fish Bone Grill, owner Bill Hensley breezes past round wooden tables and benches and points at customers while inquiring how the food tastes. Hensley opened his first restaurant July 1984 after the former financial planner decided to live his love of seafood. The restaurant has lime green walls and open space that Hensley completely remodeled this year. The menu varies from the popular Mexican shrimp cocktail to a crab cake burger that can be ordered grilled or crispy on a toasted bun. Most of his recipes are from his original restaurant in Arlington, and he adds only one or two new recipes a year. Hensley also stocks 28 types of beers that keep new and repeat seafoodies coming.
