Sharkys On The Pier Reviews

The atmosphere is ideal for a place on the beach. Everything is very casual and the view from the porch is beautiful. The food is alright, but the atmosphere and beautiful beach makes up for it.

The Atmosphere Is Amazing.. The Staff Is Very Friendly And Helpful... Food Is Delicious And Fresh....

Quality of the food is excellent thats why is $$$
The waitresses provide excellent service
Nice place to go eat watch the sun set and afterwards or before have a walk along the beach

Excellent Food and Service. Great place to have a great time!

Wonderful place with great live music and a pier or beach accessible to watch a beautiful sunset. The food was outstanding and great customer service

Always glad to make this a lunch/dinner spot. Will be there today for lunch with friends and just know that the food and service will be outstanding. Looking forward to a great afternoon.

Good place. Wife loves. But could have just a few more non seafood items

Probably should have eaten inside, but was trying to social distance...the flies were SO BAD landing on our food so we just boxed it up and left...

Food was average, wanted the Jerk Chicken Tacos but unavailable, was told to get the pork instead.. couldn't taste the jerk seasoning on the pork taco..very bland. Service was poor, meaning empty beer bottle and not asked if I wanted another one, even though waitress quickly came by to deliver other food...great view of beach..very disappointed..

As the stars suggest, just ok. Not awesome, not bad.

This place always has excellent food and service with a great view!

Excellent food and service! Can't beat the view outside!

The experience was nice. Food was good, but priced for location. Try to hit happy hour.

OK food. Server too busy to ask if you need a second drink . Friendly , but spread too thin to serve you properly. Beautiful sunset, nice view.

Poppin! Great atmosphere, kinda spendy drinks though, not very generous with the pours.

Love this place! Fresh seafood and a pier and lovely white sand beach... What more needs to be said?

Great destination seafood eatery. Lots of outdoor seating right on the pier. Our server was Shawn (Sean maybe) and he was terrific. Made our six year old son who was having a hard time have a great time with great personal touches such as giving him a blanket to cover up in, and a little pouch of shark teeth he personally collected on the beach for such a time as this. Great staff!!

Luv it! Try the seafood nachos with crab and shrimp..a major load of food served quickly..worth the price!

Great place to go grab some drinks... Haven't tried the food but the location is great. Service leaves some to be desired

Sharky's is never a disappointment. They know how to prepare seafood to get the most from how it's "supposed to taste" allowing the natural flavors of the fish to come through instead of over powering it with spices and artificial flavoring.
When my friends come to town I take them to Sharky's for the excellent cousine, atmosphere, and a walk on the Pier for a sunset. Thanks Sharky's

Waterfront, pier-side casual eatery with inside and outside tables. Food was delivered quickly and was appealing to the eye. The grouper sandwich was not impressive. I've seen much better and my husband said it was just "good". The grouper wrap was different and very tasty. The fish taco our friend had did impress me; one very nice size piece of fish on each taco!
The service was fast and very pleasant.

The first time I came here I loved your Aruba style pasta with the shrimp and chicken. It was to die for. That was three years ago. Each and every time I have come back which has been at least 4, the mushrooms are missing, the peppers are missing and the last time I said something they brought me a side of mushrooms which were so bland I threw them out. Good thing you guys have the pier going for you because your restaurant has gone downhill. Super disappointed for the 3rd time in a row. Maybe you should make your prices $10 meals, not sure they are even worth that but might make all your disappointed customers come back

One of our favorite places to go. We bring our Family here when they come to visit. No one ever leaves hungry. We truly enjoy the sunsets.

Nice dining by the pier and food was very good. Very well priced as well

Great service. Wonderful view inside or outside dining.

The food was fine, but overall the place wasn't what we expected and not really up to the hype and price.

Best. Restaurant. Ever.
The shrimp is my favorite!

Sharky's is a typical American restaurant. The prices are moderate and the selection of grasses is manageable. The quality of the food was average and for my taste neither very tasty nor really bad, so nothing to remember. The only really good thing about this restaurant is the location. With live music, the volume is extreme and a conversation at the table is impossible.

wow, we almost did not go because of some of the negative reviews.. Place was packed by 5.. that''s good, food portions were huge, service was fantastic... I think the negative people ate at the wrong place, going back tomorrow for a second try while here on vacation

Great attentive staff. Wonderful location on the beach. Highly recommended.

The food is good, the view is great if you sit outside

Really big fun place. The wait was pretty short. I love how close to the beach it is. There was barely a wait for our food. The food was great, but they did not give you a lot of food. There was also blasting cold air inside which got a little annoying after a while. I had a fun tropical time, and the atmosphere was nice. Will be coming again soon!

I love Sharky's on the Pier! Great view, great food and drinks! Great selection of tee shirts, too.

Everytime I am in Venice, I visit Sharkey's. Great food. Awesome views.

Good food, fun atmosphere! Will visit again when we are down south

The service was outstanding and the food was good. My only question is; how can they call themselves a Bar when they limit you to one alcoholic beverage per person? They are really just a restaurant, not a bar!

What a view. Amazing location by the Gulf sea. Has a free access pier that runs a mile into the open water and you can fish there at no charge. Great place to dine, walk along the beach. Get a tan or simply soak in the lasting, calming natural beauty that is the great blue sea.

One of our free favorite places to eat in the area. Great food with excellent service.

Use to go there when in Nokomis Florida. TOO commercialize now. WAIT 2 HOURS FOR a table

Nice outdoor bar and restaurant at a nice beach with great view of pier and sunset.

Food was pricey. Afterwards we decided to have a frozen drink for dessert. I asked for a dark rum floater. I was told no.my server was told she would lose her job if she served me one. I am a woman in my 60's. I'm not a big drinker. Just wanted a drink after dinner. Manager said it's against their policy. It was my first and only drink I was having.he was obstinate. Ok. No more recommending this place. If fact...I will recommend nobody go. To many places closer to home. Good bye sharkys!

The food was great, very nice people working there and the sunset fabulous! Highly recommend!

Is there ANTHING MORE?
I DIDN'T think so?

Great food and a remarkable location, Venice Beach pier, Venice Beach. Best beach in the world for finding shark teeth.
Great drinks, great food, great service....yum

Best view food ever evetything is amazing on there menu need to mention great staff too

Over priced sandwich restaurant with a great location. Long wait times.

Fast & friendly service but the food was lacking in care and quality. Scenery and atmosphere were a plus but still can't make up for the overall food quality.

Loved the Thai Shrimp & Chicken. Will be sure to make the trip again from Michigan

A Great Place by the Beach. Good food. Friendly service.

Love Sharky's! Always a fun day and the food is good too!

Closed as of yesterday due to ee testing positve, prob closed fo a week

Food was great..bartender was not friendly asked prices depends on what you want was his comment when asked again for Miller lite he walked away..our drinks were good he did get our food right on..will be back loved being on the beach

One of the most best memories I'll ever have. Valentine's day eating at this fantastic restaurant with my girlfriend.

Great service. The wait was under 45 mins, surprisingly, for sharkeys. I guess we picked the right night a rainy day. Our waiter Dylan B was so amazing. He was courteous, sweet and so attentive. The prices were reasonable for being on the water. Caution if you sit by the tables near the water and it starts to rain you will get wet, especially if windy. The bad part is that they can't bring down the plastic shades if the wind is too strong. Other than that a nice place to eat at with or without kids.

Great service and wonderful location, however, the meals were nothing special. Our family would not recommend Sharkeys on the Pier for any special occassion.

Expensive, but good food and service with a great environment.

Horribly slow service bar will not serve you if you have already been seated.

Per the owner.

Has to be far the most ridiculous rule i have ever heard.

Its season they dont care... I will never be back.

Please dont waste your time on the slow serviced over priced want to be a destination want to be.

Great seaside restaurant and bar. Family friendly and large portions.

Horribly crowded .. bartenders wont even acknowledge you are there :( sad.

Drinks were fantastic,service was nice, and the view was spectacular!

Windy and gray but staff and meal made the time perfect at the beach!

They have good food but not very good service. Waitress was lazy!!
