Sharkys On The Pier Reviews

Top notch service, beautiful sunset, strong drinks and delicious food.

Awesome food awesome service awesome atmosphere awesome experience

A beautiful place with beautiful viewe and a lot more

A little pricey for me. Nice atmosphere for a special date. Didn't eat there but had drinks at the bar. Nice staff.

AMAAAAAZING!!! GREAT experience to have with great family/friends- & Dylan (hoping I'm spelling correctly) was our server, he did a great job & had good thoughts for us on our future endeavors with our family upon returning next time!! Great customer service!!! The food is on point!!! SPECTACULAR VIEW & WHAT A DAY ON THE PIER!!

Great food and staff had a great time except for red tide, but were from Naples and it's the same thing there. ,

Fun and great beach food. The only beach view restaurant in Venice.

Went there while on my vacation to Florida back on 5/30/15 food was good only inconvenience was the 75+ minute wait to only find out that the seating outside is first come first serve that would have been nice to know when we First got there. Your hostiess might want to inform your customers who ask for outside seating that's it's "First Come First Serve". So you all don't get any bad reviews or lose customers....

Excellent food, good service, a lot of ambience, also a good place to just have a small plate and drinks.

It was a lot of fun for my son and I. We didn't eat but I've eaten there in the past and it's great, right on the water and they have so many options especially now with their second more upscale restaurant Fins

Great food and service. Maybe just a little overpriced. Worth a visit.

Oh my gosh is this the happening place! Great food. Great views. Gorgeous sunset.

This place has the best of everything! Fresh seafood caught literally a few yards away on the pier DAILY. They're located on the beach ! The indoor & outdoor seating allows you to finish out the day of sun & surf with a memorable meal.

Food was mediocre , server was first class unfortunately with this red tide nightmare the experience was sullen. We had a walk along the beach and had to leave due to the feeling of nasty air quality. Not Sharkey's fault re air quality but sorry the food was like a fast food joint .

Right on the pier, great beach, awesome Bartenders, helped with food allergies-great drinks. A MUST!! :)

The food is so good and love that you can look out and see the beach and the waves

The food was excellent! Their clam chowder is amazing! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. If I'm ever back this way will definitely be back.

This place is packed on weekends but worth the wait. Great food, splendid food and a nice staff.

Best Place on the Gulf of Mexico.Hands down.A little pricey though.

Good food, great views. Friendly and helpful staff.

Shame it's so hard to get to the pair now. There used to be direct access but now you have to sneak through the restaurant.

Great food, awesome view, delicious drinks only thing I can say is trying to get in to the restaurant is very confusing

Great view and like the tiki bar feel.. food is good ..just try and call ahead I would recommend reservations

Very laid back beach place. It gets crowded on the weekend but wonderful seafood and great staff

It was excellent. The food was very good and hot.Service was wonderful. The view was astronomical. The people are very friendly.

Sharky's is quite pricey for what you get. The quality of the food was good and the staff was friendly but I couldn't help but leave feeling like I paid for way more than I got. The view of the beach is always a welcome site.

Waiter could of checked more often to ask if we needed anything more for a slow day! Other than that the drinks were good!

Delicious food, the 30 min wait turned out to be an hour...hence the 3 star otherwise a solid 4.5

Great location, food was real good according to everyone in our group. I encourage everyone to try it out...

Good food beautiful scenery and we found sharks teeth!

Everything tonight was perfect. All four dinners were delightful, and the weather couldn't have been more enjoyable.

Nice place on the Gulf. I had the Walk the Plank. It was very good, the lobster/mushroom sauce was to die for.

Oh my the food was great here. Great service and they taught us about local places to see sunrise and set. Plus they informed us of the local spots. Great food and great drinks along with a breathtaking view. Great spot whether on ground level or up top. We will be back

Nice casual restaurant right on the pier . Very good food and drinks. Very pleasant staff

Great atmosphere on the ocean, great service and food. Our waitress Jericha was the best waitress we've had in a long time. Even found a sharks tooth after dinner.

Nice place but feel rushed while there. Food quality is just ok, not great. Not overly welcoming to people.

We went for desserts on my daughter's birthday and they were awesome!

Sharky s has been my local favorite for great fried shrimp and drinks with the best view. I always try to go an hour prior to sunset and grab a table next to the beach and the patio. That is if there isn t a wait. This place gets crowded during season so plan accordingly. The food is great and the view can t be beat and this is reflected in the cost. Some of my favorite dishes include the shrimp nachos, shrimp platter, pineapple chicken sandwich, and fried grouper. The meals also come with rolls which is great. I like how they take care of the pier and the beach. Paper straws are a thoughtful touch. My favorite part is watching the sunset after a meal either on their upper balcony or out on the pier. Don t forget to take a walk along the beach or around the lagoon connected to the parking lot to the south. There is a reason this place is world famous.

We were so excited to have dinner with a view while on vacation, but the only good thing I have to say about this place is our server, Eric! The host were so awful that we almost left before we even got a table. We ordered fish and chips and I couldn t even finish one piece, it was watery and disappointing. The view would have been nice, if people weren t standing in the way the entire time. Definitely not Covid friendly, due to the close proximity of the tables. Would not recommend if you are looking for a relaxing dinner.

Fantastic location awesome food. But a little over cooked. You might want to make sure and ask to keep and eye on the cooking. Very friendly staff.

Very nice location and the food/ service was great.

Good service but pretty mediocre food. The beach atmosphere is perfect though.

The atmosphere is so nice. Love being able to watch sunset while eating great food

Sharky's is a fun spot in a good location. Being right on the beach, the views are nice and the people watching is excellent. The food and service are always pretty decent. Downside, it's a tourist spot so it's a little pricey for what it is, typically crowded with a wait to be seated, and parking is really difficult since it's close to public beach access. That being said, it's a nice place for a casual dining lunch.

Nice place with great staff had an amazing time here.

Cool pier! Always see a guy with a little shark on his line. Nice beach!

This food was good. The service was slow and sitting outside is way too hot but inside everyone is on top of each other.

The setting is absolutely wonderful right on the Gulf. Unfortunately we ordered the Fish and Chips. The fish was bland with no flavor at all. Service was mediocre.

Very good fish and chips, fresh, chocolate mousse, quantiles large. Attentive service

2nd we went with a reservation and they couldn't "find" it. Im sorry is all we got. That happens all the time! Look at your system people! Won't try it again. Plus they are NOT dog friendly in their outdoor area. Should have been the 1st clue

It was beautiful. We had a wonderful waitress and the food was great
