Sharkys On The Pier Review

Food was excellent! They bring out fresh bread before your meal...I couldn't stop eating it because it was so good. I got salmon, green beans, and sweet potato fries for my meal. A+. I wanted to go back and get the same meal again! View is great. So much to watch. Drinks are awesome. We will definitely be back.

Had a decent meal and the service was great. We arrived late and they still had a good menu to choose from and not unreasonably priced. Drinks were ok and the view was the absolute best!

Great place to stop after spending the day at the beach food was delicious service was good. It's always nice to walk out on the pier while you wait for them to call your name.
Be prepared to wait as it's very busy place.

Wonderful restaurant, very nice servers and very good food. Love the place right by the ocean.

Food was so so, service was so so, pricey, slow, long wait, restaurant smelled like dead fish.

I am not one to write a bad review if it doesn t deserve it. I also have never once sent back my food, however our food was probably some of the worst food we have ever gotten from a restaurant before. I got the shrimp and grits and it was More

Great food and fantastic service. Always need to wait to get seated, but it's worth it. Just grab an adult beverage at the bar till your table is ready. Top notch.

Had a wonderful dinner. Even though our burger was overcooked manager Jeff took care of it. We will go again.

Loved. Fresh caught seafood. Wonderful staff and expedited service.

Beach front beautiful pier with amazing food and great drinks

We love Sharky s! We love to go here and watch the sunset from the upper deck. Frozen margarita s are the best. My favorite item on the menu is the lobster artichoke dip.

Excellent shrimp and the shark bite drink was fabulous. Sit outside and enjoy the beach view.

Beautiful place, good atmosphere, great service, excellent food and accesible prices

We love coming here! Can't beat the view and the food has been good every time!

We never has no disappointment when we go to Sharky's. Rain or shine it still fun beautiful sunset

Pretty cool location being on the beach. Indoor and outdoor seating, obviously the outdoor seating takes a little longer to get a seat, but only 10-15 minutes longer. Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was exactly as you'd expect for a restaurant on the beach. Prices were high for the quantity, so I prob wouldn't go back just to eat, but would maybe go back for drinks at night and to hangout on the patio. Baja Tacos were $17 and Fish n Chips were $16

Great for sunset pictures. Keep in mind tje pier is closed while under repair.

I was quoted 25 minuets it s going on 1hr waiting it s 9:30pm and We haven t had dinner.. no silverware when appetizer came out.. no straws with drinks... I have highly sensitive teeth and could drink water..

Plenty of outdoor seating, lots of room at the booths, staff friendly and above all amazing food options. Right on the beach so you can sit and listen to the waves at night. My only complaint, and I understand most of the seating is outside, however the area did have a huge fly problem.

I d give this place six stars if I could.

I ate at Finn's. The prices are very high. The food looks elegant, but the portions are small. I ordered an appetizer as my main meal, because it was one of the least expensive things on the menu and still cost $18. The food was delicious.

Always long wait times, then food has been served cold the last 2 visits.

average food, service was above and beyond from the waiter to the valet. AWESOME service but again, food is average. drinks were well worth the money though.

We ate rich and good service near the beach in Sarasota

Great food and location is on the golf with nice outdoor seating

It wasn't even 5pm and the parking lot was full. No seating at Sharkey's or Fins. We went elsewhere.

Excellent food and great atmosphere. You have a beautiful pier view and a great beach.

We liked the atmosphere and being right on the beach.

All the construction was a bit distracting but good food and server was on top of it.

Great food, reasonable drink prices and staff is very friendly. Awesome sunsets also!..:)

Short 15 minute wait to get a table, the service was great and I was amazed how quick the food was ready.. The portions were huge almost too much. Everything was well prepared and tasty. Great place to dine and look over the Gulf of Mexico.

The seafood platter was excellent. I got it grilled. Shout out to Wade for excellent service and the recommendation!

Excellent service and delicious food! All servers wearing masks and tables distanced nicely. Felt very safe and had a very enjoyable meal. We'll definitely be back.

Absolutely my favorite place to eat on the west coast!!

I was just there for the 15th annual beach ride and we had a great time! The staff was friendly and the food was great! Thank you Sharky's for such a great experience after a long 70 miles on a bike :)

I have been coming to sharkey's for 18 years good food ,and beautiful location . I understand that you need to raise prices.But really has gotten over priced in sharkey's I would expect to pay that in fins. Because of that I visit less.

Went here today 5/29/17 and it was the worse experience EVER! While we placed an order of $100, the manager Jeff told us we had to hurry up ordering, because the server was busy. Meanwhile the server tells him that he's ok and he told us not to worry about it. Then the server let's us know we can sit upstairs and I asked him if we could eat at the bar and he said we could and gave us our nachos. Unfortunately there weren't any seats available so we sat at the bench next to the bar and the workers kept staring at us then the manager Jeff came to the bar asking the bar tenders who sat them at the bench "talking about is in front of everyone so unprofessional" then came to us and said we couldn't sit there that he was going to write our server up i told him it wasn't the servers fault and he said hurry up and eat your food or I'll take it away and I said you're going to take what??? R u going to pay me back? We just spent $100 for our family who are by the beach and your going to treat us like this? I would never come back here beacause of how you're treating us and his words were "I don't care that's up to you" i told him "you should be written up as a manager, you should want your customers to come back." My mom went to hand him the nachos and said here take them and he walked away. I'm a manager I would NEVER treat my customers like that. I would do anything to have them come back. There are ways to say things. All he had to do was apologize and find a way to accommodate our seating. The servers treated is better than the Manger Jeff!!! WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!! GOOD LUCK IF YOU DO BEWARE!

Fantastic food and service with beautiful ocean front view. Highly recommended restaurant!!

We love this place.. good food, great views right on the beach

First time visit and being an inlander decided to get fish n chips. Yeah, yeah...but oh what heaven to have fish n chips not frozen. The fish was flaky, breading crispy, coleslaw was not too sweet or sour, washed down with a bush wacker. Good meal worth it. Definitely would like to go back and get there catch of the day! They also started us off with strawberry bread.

Good. Very busy. Get your name in first thing, then go check out the pier

Best lobster roll in the area! Great outdoor dining right on the beach. Fun waitstaff and excellent service. Will be bringing visiting family for sure. Not inexpensive but what a great location.

The service was fast and good. Sharky's is always a fun place to bring our northern friends and family.

Only had drinks here yesterday but it was beautiful! What a sight to see. The service is friendly and the tiki hut had such a nice atmosphere. We will have to come back and try the peel and eat shrimp! Watch out for those pina coladas! They're tasty and boozy! Great first time here!

great place wonderful venue on the beach on the pier
unfortunately we are reluctant to visit because of a bartender who doesn't seem to enjoy his job

We love Sharky's! Mike, the bartender at the Tiki Bar, is the best. Food is very good and you will have excellent service if you're fortunate to have Vincent as your server.

Great food, wonderful staff and a spectacular view!!

Drinks on the roof is fun, just don't eat there. They don't want you there.

Love this place. Great burgers and fries on the beach. No charge for parking

Beautiful views, gourmet food, great service. Perfect dinning experience. Try the steak!

Great location. Food is fair. Service is good usually

A must place to visit..Free fishing No License Required on Pier. Lots of seating indoors and out at the restaurant. Pricey though!! Clean Public restrooms

Good food and a great location. This is right on the beach and a wonderful place. Venice, FL is one of the hidden gems of Southwest Florida.
