Sharkys On The Pier Reviews

Hard to get a table at peak times. Good food and great location.

Amazing views and Really Great frozen drinks that actually have alcohol in them! Great Bartenders!

The food is good. They have a tiki bar that is right on the beach. You could actually go to the beach here and then come up and grab a drink or lunch. They have a nice pier that you can walk down. A very nice stop. If you are in Venice I would recommend this stop.

Great place to stop when you visit Venice Beach. .great service, friendly faces ...

Food ok, service ok......dishes all dirty, small portions....WAY OVER PRICED, thought we would get better quality for our money. Will not be returning.....

The food and drinks were very good. However we sat at a table for 25 minutes and they gave us a menu and we asked two people for a server to order and they said they will be right over, then finally a 3rd said that it's self service and you need to go to the other inside. Then why give is a menu and not tell us, both times we asked for a server?

Love everything about sharkeys and finn's great place go at least 3 times a week

Excellent food excellent view especially the HOGFISH filet!!!

Nice setting on the beach with the pier. Food was also good, had an appetizer and 2 meals....

Sharkys is always a awesome place to eat and drink such awesome people and food

This is a great place for lunch or dinner to dine outdoors on the beach. The service was good and so was the food. Good choice for sure.

This is a great venue if you want to look out over the gulf while you have a meal

Great restaurant in Venice FLA right on the Gulf very busy but great food came out quick! !

It was terrific, great food , great server, with great company.

Out door bar and dinning over looking the Gulf of Mexico

A "good" tourist trap in the sense of a genuine experience. There are no other bars or restaurants on the beach for many miles. Families with members at any age can feel comfortable here. Live music, great view and consistent food. Shrimp Bruschetta is excellent as is the Boathouse Salad.

Dissapointed we drove down from NYC and they were closed for renovation.

Good season, lots of options for having it prepared. Yummy frozen drinks

Always awesome food & how can you beat eating while looking at the ocean?!

Server was very nice, first time I've ever ate crab legs they were delicious and the crab cakes were awesome great place to eat and enjoy the view of the beach and ocean loved the experience will definitely come back thanks

Food was good. The band that played was really good. Loved the so ga they played.

Food outstanding.Service impeccable. View to dream about.

Service is excellent every time snd its amazing the speed of the food with such quality! Again the service is always with a smile snd they go out of their way to make you feel important!

Best place to watch the sunset on the gulf! Bartenders

Amazing views, great food, awesome customer service.

Great fun place for kids to find shark tooth and sharkys is great place for some grub! Food is great

Great service, food came quick. Beautiful setting on the beach. Amazing sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

Great place, Great view. If you're in Venice, FL, it's a must go.

I went to this place with my family and none of us were pleased. Very mediocre food, pretty bad service, long waits in extreme heat and lots of flies like to hang out, lowering my expectations. We asked why there was a lot of flies and the waiter just said "we used repellent". Seems like a lie to me. I don't recommend this restaurant at all.

ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE!! THE FISH IS FROZEN! The bun was hard as a brick! I complained to the manager they didn t care!!! They offered me a dessert! We go on huge family excursions and always STOP HERE. NEVER AGAIN. WORST MEAL. The waiter WENT ON BREAK HALF WAY
THROUGH OUR MEAL AND THE MANAGER WAS TERRIBLE! SAVE YOUR MONEY

Have only been here during the weekend twice. Both times it was crowded and had to wait to be seated. The wait is shorter if you chose to dine indoors. The menu's is varied and good, even if it's a little pricey. Parking is plentiful, although you may find yourself a little ways away. You have the Pier there, you can rent fishing poles etc., the beach and stores around. Nice touristy area.

This is such a great beachside hangout. The food is outstanding and they have the usual American beers on tap, which you don't mind because you're hot and thirsty.
It's nonstop there, however, so you're likely to wait unless it's a week day and not a usual meal time. No reservations.

Absolutely great. You can not beat the atmosphere.

Views where amazing! Food is good. Service is ok. Drinks not the best pre made slushie mix for Daiquiris and margaritas. Fresh made is much better. No blender behind the bar.

Nice cause of beach. A bit expincive. A place for tourists

good place to dine and enjoy the sunset I recommend them

Nice qliche place for overpriced food and drinks.... Was told about a straw ban. No big deal. Noticed all tables seated around us had straws. Food jus subpar. Considering the wait, you shouldn't have an extended wait for drinks after you finally get a table. Been here dozens of times. Better off elsewhere

Would have given it a 5 but waiter we had was terrible! Wish I had gotten his name so I could have posted for his boss. Food was great. Ambiance made the cost worthwhile.

really good food and service, and the music tonight was great!

Usually crowded, serving typical seaside tourist food. Located on the beach, you are treated to a beautiful view while you enjoy a well prepared mixed drink.

Beautiful sunset, great food and drinks. Service was fantastic.

I have to give 3 stars since food was just like anywhere else we would normaly go. I liked some fish choices but everything else was just normal made not from scratch. I know location when it comes to restaurant shouldn't matter but it makes eating just so much more pleasant. Beautiful location and view. Dolphins come daily to play there .

Was a great place to eat and jsng out with family while on Vacation. One of my wife's favorite places and now I know why.

Been going to this place since I was a kid and now I got to bring my husband. Always good food always good service. Best crab legs ever! The live music is fun and sitting by the ocean is a plus! Must go place in Venice!

Food was great, service was great, trivia night...not so great... play error...hah.

Other than that we had an amazing time!

Long wait was solved by eating at the bar with the same menu. Quick service and good food

Great place. Couldn't enjoy entirely because of red tide but we'll be back!

It's good food, well made with some flavor flair but pretty standard "Beachy" food themed. The prices are high for me but I'm poor and cheap. But you don't want your kids throwing a twenty dollar fish sandwich on the floor either. Just saying you see might be quietly installed upcharge overall for the tropical atmosphere and the view. But if that doesn't bother, it's a great time. Live entertainment on weekend days and evenings was typical before the shutdown. Full bar, tropical drinks outdoors with direct access to an alcohol free public beach. A dog beach is only a short walk away south of the pier where dogs run free and behave...amazing. Give something FREEDOM, they choose good things, treat each others nicely, respect each others rights and freedoms also. Its light, fun and fulfilling to Express our God-given freedoms, with goodwill to all life in our hearts. Don't cage a bird whose gift is flight, or take a fish out of water no matter how lovely. Except to blacken it on the grill, and they do that well. Visit if you are here if you have the resources, budget minded folks might share an appetizer or have a draught to sit a spell, but its tourist status.

Love this place.. Sunsets every night.. And delicious key lime pie

Excellent service, excellent views. Food was great. Great spot to bring friends and family.

The young dark-haired hostess that checked us in had the personality of a rock. We knew we would be waiting for over an hour to be seated but after 45 minutes we asked the status of our seating. Her customer service skills were much like her personality....non-existent.

Our waitress was good, the food above average and the view was beautify. Probably would not go back there. Too long of a wait.

Beautiful location for catching and or eating seafood by the sea shore.

Bit pricey but the view and next to the pier was nice

Lovely setting but staff a bit pushy for us to order meals..

Good food. Good price considering the awesome view.

After being seated with our 2 1/2 yr old grandson, had to wait 90 minutes for our food which came to us barely warm? Don't know if waitress forgot to put in our order? When we finished & were leaving, the waitress ask if we wanted an ice cream for our grandson? Said it was free with his meal? Why wait till we were leaving the table?
