Sharkys On The Pier Reviews

For a vegetarian I found the most amazing and tasty dish! Labeled rice bowl with tofu blackened and grilled....devine!!

Food is average Florida tourist food walk the beach and Venice Pier as well. Serious fishing down off the pier. Fun place to visit if you're a visitor in Florida.

Terrible Bar staff over priced bar drinks and prices are not on menu. I believe bartender inflated prices and drinks were water down. I live in Venice with out of town guests so embarrassed. Will not return. YT

Great staff..good food.. nice place to go on the beach

Love it here! Great food, outdoor eating with live music...nothing better!

Food good very pricey great gulf view dining tiki bar

Nice staff, good food but very loud and busy place. Couldn't really relax and enjoy my meal.

Great place right on the beach good food great service

Eh. Our appetizer, the stuffed mushrooms were cold and they messed up my husband's dinner order. But that fixed that one quickly. I had the grouper sandwiches and it was good. Fries were a bit soggy. Service was good and the settng is nice.

Extremely busy restaurant right off the beach and fishing pier. Get there a little early, the wait is typically an hour. Frozen drinks were good but pricey.

Love this place. Lots of locals come here. Not to mention the great food! Must come to the tiki hut for happy hour!

Fantastic beach location. Good food. Very popular restaurant, can be crowded at times.

Great experience. Loved the people, atmosphere and food. Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Food was excellent, service was pretty good, eating outside on the beach is fabulous, also good bartenders

It was a long wait....but it was pouring down rain and we had to wait for people to leave the outside area so we could be seated. The food was awesome.

What a great place to eat outside and enjoy the gulf of mexico. Get the Greg's Grouper sandwhich or wrap you won't be disappointed. Service is great as well as the food.

Fish tacos were excellent. You should make the stop it is on a pier with beautiful views lots of beach and great water. Parking was challenging die to time of years. Worth the time.

The location can't be beat. Food and drink are great, though a little pricey. Make reservations for lunch time especially if you want to sit outside.

Awesome fare and even better environment, being located right on the water.

Food was really good. Great view of the beach and ocean.

It was busy but we got a table inside. 2 Diet cokes, 2 chowder, one mahi burger with fries = $50 with tip. If it was $20 then maybe.

The restaurant made us feel very unimportant. The food was mediocre and overpriced. Would go there to drink but not to eat.

Great view, great view and great service. Don't think you can ask for more than that

We arrived at 11:30 they are open till 12. They said they were closed

Have eaten here for years, great food and service every time we visit. My daughter always orders the calamari and has never been disappointed.

Tourist trap. Small portions and "hoarding attitude. Dont go

A favorite gatering place, right on a very beautiful section of the Gulf. Very good food, good selection too. Can't wait to go back.

Disappointing. Server was great but food was just so so. Next time we'll try Fins.

Sharkys was great. I had stuffed mushrooms and a sandwich, both very tasty. Service was good.

We had a great experience! The service, view, atmosphere and food were all 5 stars!

Nice Views and Pier walk. Pricey food and super congested with people. May have just been the day. I would give it another try.

So we stopped in around 3 to grab some drinks and asked to be sat on the patio. After getting settled in the server informed us that the patio table we're "for food service only." I don't mind the policy but it was not indicated to us at any point until after we were already seated. It wasn't posted anywhere. The server allowed us to stay as the patio was almost entirely empty but it made door a rather uncomfortable visit when it could have easily been nice.

Drinks were good.

This is a great place to watch the sunset, listen to live music, grab a drink, and of course eat! The bar does tend to get a bit crowded, but there are plenty of tables outside nearby. I recommend grabbing your beverages and heading upstairs away from the crowds if possible for the best experience.

Perfect location, and horrible food, especially salads, not fresh

Food was good, pricey, awesome view, waiter was not so great. Brother in-laws seafood was way overcooked

It's a fun place to go to eat, a little over priced for the food your getting though. The tuna tataki salad was good though, I would just consider price changes

Lunch on the patio, looking over the Gulf, what could there be to complain about. Food is always delicious, and the drink are always cold.

Best place for good seafood and drinks with friends and family if you want the best sunset views in Florida, but be prepared to really open up your wallet. My family has been going here for the last 30 years now, miss the ice sculptures on the Sunday buffet but still very clean, staff is always friendly.

Great location , our food was tasty & staff friendly .no complaints .

Nice building on the beach with a sister restaurant on the second floor, Finns. Lots of outside seating that was very popular today. Sat at the bar. Not the best view with alot of premixed and popular daiquiris, meaning not a great view of the beach. Bar rail pretty full, and tenders were busy, but were able to take care of everyone. Seemed to have been some regulars at the bar as they knew their names. Nice, typical beach menu with all the usual( not saying in a derogatory way) sandwiches entrees, wraps and apps. It works for them and thats good. Fried grouper sand, that was nice in portion size and flavor. Fries fresh. Nice apparel and beach shop where i picked up a tshirt
Recommended by someone who parks in my yard at indy 500, who live in Venice. this place wont dissapoint you. Check the beach out, eat and return to tan! Ill definitely return

Great place for kids to find shark teeth, good swimming, and two restaurants.

Margaritas were very good food was mediocre music was baller had stick figure playing.

First time at Sharky's! I loved it!!! Great food, atmosphere, and staff! An ideal place to watch the sunset!

So much fun! The wait for a table was almost an hour, but the upstairs bar was open. Small but decent appetizer menu, which was fine with us. Full service bar and spectacular view; quieter than the rest of the place. Great calamari.

Couldn't seem to cook the shrimp correctly ! Great atmosphere so,so food.

Good, relaxing atmosphere but busy, live music, great service.

We had a blast! Entertainment soo fun. We watched the sun set on the pier with 100 of our closest new friends counting down! Food at Sharkeys superb! We had filets! They enjoyed their cocktails also. Busy place to just join in the fun.

my steak was good but everything else sucked service sucks. everything besides my steak was cold. would never go back

Great fun place! GOOD FOOD! GREAT DRINKS! A must when in Venice!

Great service and fantastic view. Always a favorite to grab lunch or dinner and drinks are made GENEROUSLY

Mary was a fantastic waitress. We were a party of 8 and she was on her game 100%.
The food was as very good and enjoyable. Nice on the beach restaurant watching the sunset. Clean and good drinks.

100% Love this place! Always satisfied...Food & Drink = Divine

Very buissy. Long wait. Espresso is weak not recommended. People are nice service good.

Bland food. Chewy fried shrimp with tough "poo veins" good view, though.

Always my favorite place to go always great food !!!

I only walk the pier and was on the beach and I was just beautiful I didn't eat any of the food in the restaurant so I can't comment on that

Nothing too complain about except that the red wine was served chilled. Our waitress was perfect. She observed our situation and accommodated us perfectly

Very friendly staff from the hostess to the wait staff. The food was delicious. The restaurant is in a cool location. My family wanted AC we sat inside, the indoor seating was comfortable the outdoor seating looked fun and had plenty of shade. Very close to the Venice Pier and direct access to beach. Some items were slightly highly Priced, but there are other options available. Would definitely come back.

Fun place. Food is middle of the road but location and staff compensate nicely.

Absolutely love Sharky's on the Pier, they have amazing food and amazing service.

I love this beach . The food at all the restaurants are excellent.
