Sharkys On The Pier Reviews

While everything was okay, albeit overpriced. They wouldn't serve me another beer. They have a 4 drink maximum, even if you've been there for 4 hours. They opened at 1130am and I'm leaving at 330pm.

Take your money elsewhere, they clearly don't want it.

Great place! Food is awesome, the service is fantastic and the wait was very minimal. Plus being right on the beach is a huge bonus.

I loved the atmosphere. And the location? Well it speaks for itself. Never enjoyed a more breathtaking view for an afternoon lunch. Food is absolutely amazing.

Really liked the place, especially during a thunderstorm.Bartenders were awesome and the food was great!

Great pleasant service. Short wait time. Good food.

Great food and service for a beach restaurant! We were welcomed with a cheery face who took a family picture for us. We were seated indoors within 30 minutes. The service was good (consider we had 3 kids in our party of 7). Give this place a shot.

Very rude hostess. Did not stay to eat. Very surprised they hire such a person

Mahi mahi sandwich was to die for, so was service and atmosphere.

Love Sharky's! Lots of changes over the years. I have to visit every time I come down from Michigan.

The food was good the atmosphere was good, but how can you have a restaurant in the South that doesn't serve sweet tea

The food was wonderful, and we especially enjoyed the homemade strawberry bread!

Excellent lunch for 6. Very crowded but managed to get in right away because there was a table inside for 6 available. Fast service, very good waitress.

Excellent view, great food and cold drinks after a day of fossilized shark tooth hunting. My wife and I love this place!

So so food and drinks but the atmosphere is to die for

Great food! beautiful outdoor seating great for kids! we will be back.

There are so many things to do here. You can fish on the pier. Play volleyball. Get a great meals with a gorgeous view. Hang out at the outdoor bar and listen to live music. What ever your in the mood for it's here. Or just enjoy the beautiful beach!

Had an amazing time. The band really helped set the mood. The service was great and the drinks were spot on. Nothing is better then enjoying a drink by the beach with some music. Will be coming here next month for sure with or with out the family.

Location location location! We sat outdoors facing the beach. Loved the colors and the view. Menu was small and somewhat pricey for the amount of food. I had fish tacos and a quinoa side . The 2 tacos were plain and boring and skimpy on fish. I'm not sure that the fish wasn't frozen nuggets. The side was good but came in a cup not much bigger than a to go cup for ketchup etc. Around $13 to $15 if I recall right. My friend ordered a hotdog and some nachos.
The nachos were good. The chips were different somehow. The hotdog,well it's a hotdog. Too pricey as well. I think your getting a view and paying for it.
The whole place is very neat. Theres an open air gift shop and the back of the place is open to the beach. There's a nice long fishing pier there as well.
There is also a finer restaurant there called FINS. Menu was more upscale with a nice sushi menu and nice sounding seafood items. As said, be prepared to pay a hefty price though.

Great ambience .. Eat yummy .. Pure urlaunsfeeling .. However, the live music was really loud mega .. you could barely talk. However, we also had a table at the front ..
You should also bring some time. Straight to the sunset you have to go 30 min. Waiting for a table ..
Nevertheless a clear recommendation :)

Absolutely wonderful spot overlooking the Beach and pier! The Food was delicious! We will definitely be back!

Fun place, nice staff, fast service and yummy food!!

Nice location but the food is very mediocre. Line ups are crazy but it s definitely not for the food. Would not come back. You are paying for the location. Rather just sit on the beach for free and not have to eat their subpar food.

Nice place to eat right off the beach and the gulf waters. Watch fishermen catch sharks while enjoying a bite to eat and a drink.

Only visited the fishing pier here, but it was a nice area.

Shawn's service was outstanding. The cook just so so. The sordfish was dry / over cooked. It appeared it was overcooked because it was just too thin a filet. Hey for the price give a decent serving.

Amazing View. Decent food. Fast turn around. Enjoyed myself.

The food was tasteless. I ordered fish and chip, there was no salt or seasoning on the fish. My friend ordered crab cake and guinos salad. She experienced food poisoning that evening. The location is wonderful, service was great. Food was bad.

great location and ok food, but crowded, crowded, crowded. They don't take reservations, so be prepared for a looong wait, and lots of noise.

Pricey, you're paying for the location, obviously. The food is ok, nothing fancy.

Excellent Bloody Mary's and Lobster Potato Nachos!!!

We love the cool evening breeze and gorgeous sunsets at Sharky's.

Waited 45 minutes for a table. Was put in the back when they realised my son was in a scooter with his service dog. Drinks were tiny.
Coconut shrimp so overcooked barely edible. Side salad looked like it was made days before. Tomatoes mush. Got attacked by bugs when our food came and they did replace the food and moved us inside.
Beautiful area and probably a great place to sit at the bar.

Our family s favorite place on the beach. Look for shark s teeth in the sand and watch the sunset after a nice meal.

Great seafood. I got this dish can't remember the name but it was a coconut risotto with scallop, shrimp, and dolphin served with a chutney to die for! Also had their volcano roll. Which was legit! Had a crab claw served on top of the roll. Great food! They know what they are doing

Nice restaurant on the beach in venice, great food

Great atmosphere, good chowder, great key lime pie!!!

This is unique place to visit and have dinner or some drinks.

Nice clean beach, great bar and also a great restaurant

Love eating good food by the beach! Great walk on the pier too.

Good food, super friendly staff and strong drinks. Always a great place to take family that are from out of town.

Great food, great atmosphere. I very family oriented place to hang out with friends and family.

Way too busy with one hour lineup and prices are twice that of a normal resteraunt. Ripoff

We only stopped for a Corona and a piece of pie. The pie was delicious, but our server was a little slow, but nice enough. Great location.

The drinks were awesome- only reason this gets 2 stars. We sat at a table outside the tiki bar and were bullied by the waiter who kept trying to talk us into sitting elsewhere because he kept assuming we were not going to order. The worst I've ever been treated at a restaurant. He apologized but it made a scene. He should apply for a job at Dick's.

Great location, and food was good. Had the cheese and beans nachos which was HUGE and the lobster stuffed flounder. Fish was a little small, especially for the price, but amazing flavor. The rest of the portions were pretty big. Atmosphere was very fun and the view of the beach was amazing of course. Would definitely recommend.

Great place and we had 8 people food was good price good just a nice place in the marina.

We went to Finn's, food was great and service was superior.

The food was good, came out hot. The environment was funky, but fun. The service left a little to be desired. Both the bartenders, that were shouting over outdoor music and telling us to check the menus of we wanted to know what ingredients were in the daiquiri if we wanted to know, and the server that didnt come back to check on us left alot to be desired. The outdoor pier is a nice attraction.

Excellent service. Food was exceptional. The view from our table of the pier, beach and ocean was second to none!

Good food. A little pricey but cannot beat the location

Atmosphere was great! what we had no so good this time. I had the fish tacos they were ok.

Go here for the beach and water views. The grouper is nicely prepared. The staff is friendly and laid back.

Absolutely amazing!!! Great food, great service and delicious cocktails. Dressy casual is best for this place but hey, it s the beach! The interactive art display out front is SO NEAT! I don t think there s any wrong thing to order off the menu. And since I was pregnant, I had a virgin cocktail (still great) but my dad s lemon cello martini was superb. Everything taste fresh and is BEAUTIFULLY plated. Great date night or for a family celebration.

Good food, great view on the water, super crowded on weekends

Fun NYE bash on the beach. Fireworks, Great band, yummy drinks....lots of happy people seeing in the Roaring 20s!

Sorry to say the wait was so long we did not have time to eat.

Food was just slightly warm when we received it. Was not real impressed.

Perfect place for a sunset it was breath taken love venice fl

Great food loved the blacked swordfish tacos ! Great service !!
