We spent our anniversary at Sharky's and had nothing to complain about. The drinks, the service, the friendliness of the servers, excellent food all made for a wonderful special night for us. After that night we spent 2 more of our nights at Sharky's. Have NEVER found a more enjoyable place to just be casual and enjoy the sunsets or... more

We were very interested when we bought our house in Venice at this place called Sharkys, My grandmother went and absolutely loved it, The first time we went the wait was 2 hours and we have kids. The hostess handed us a buzzer and sent us out back, as we approached the man at the counter he said just to... more

We went for lunch and back again a few days later, mainly because it is on the beach. They won't split checks - which thankfully we knew ahead of time. Grouper Sandwich is ok, not the best. Sloppy Joe is awesome and my daughters had them both times we went. If you want a beach view, this place is not... more

Beach Fun!

We live in the area but most of our visits have been for lunch with visitors from the North. It's not that we don't like the place, but being retired and living here, atmosphere is not the biggest concern when we eat out by ourselves, cost is. A bit pricey (for us anyway) but great location and always great service. more

I've had really good appetizers here and some not so great entrees. The fish tacos are the worst I've ever had. Absolutely lack any zing or flavor. However, it's become a favorite place of ours while at the beach and we cannot go there without drinking the fabulous Mango Bango cocktail. Darn good drink! Yes it's made with a mix... more

My friends and I went to Sharky's last week while on a visit. We had the best time. The food was great (love Greg's Grouper and the Seafood Nachos), service was super friendly, and the Frozen Baitbucket drinks were delicious (and tropical looking). I highly recommend this place. They have entertainment and a small dance floor, plus a pier on... more

I have had better food from a microwave tv dinner. Service was non existant, servers were crowded around 1 computer screen trying to use it at once. For average prices over $10 per meal you would expect real silverware. And watch out for the birds walking underneath you as you eat... more

Recently we visited Sharky's on the Pier for lunch with a group of friends. It was on the pier as described and probably would have been a much more enjoyable visit to eat outside but it was a very windy day and no one was dining outside. I found it very loud and difficult to carry on a conversation with... more
