We enjoyed both meals. Grouper was excellent and the Cajun Gulf Shrimp with cheese grits were out of this world. Like to eat outside but the indoor meal was a bit better. Real glasses, more choices... All staff are quick and efficient. Only two items were disappointing, the signature drinks had an abundance of cheap alcohol and were low on... more

We went to Sharky's to have dinner and try to catch the sunset. We ate inside because they have a full menu inside and a light menu for sitting on the deck. We had a great view of the pier. The food was pretty good and no complains here, it was the best food in the world, but good. Full... more

After a long day of beach hopping. Sarasota to Venice this place hit the spot. Come as you are... no need to scrub off the sand and sea weed. Live raggae music, fish tacos and we sat right on the beach. It was just perfect! The service was excellent and the price was right. more

We spent our anniversary at Sharky's and had nothing to complain about. The drinks, the service, the friendliness of the servers, excellent food all made for a wonderful special night for us. After that night we spent 2 more of our nights at Sharky's. Have NEVER found a more enjoyable place to just be casual and enjoy the sunsets or... more

We were very interested when we bought our house in Venice at this place called Sharkys, My grandmother went and absolutely loved it, The first time we went the wait was 2 hours and we have kids. The hostess handed us a buzzer and sent us out back, as we approached the man at the counter he said just to... more

We went for lunch and back again a few days later, mainly because it is on the beach. They won't split checks - which thankfully we knew ahead of time. Grouper Sandwich is ok, not the best. Sloppy Joe is awesome and my daughters had them both times we went. If you want a beach view, this place is not... more

We live in the area but most of our visits have been for lunch with visitors from the North. It's not that we don't like the place, but being retired and living here, atmosphere is not the biggest concern when we eat out by ourselves, cost is. A bit pricey (for us anyway) but great location and always great service. more

I've had really good appetizers here and some not so great entrees. The fish tacos are the worst I've ever had. Absolutely lack any zing or flavor. However, it's become a favorite place of ours while at the beach and we cannot go there without drinking the fabulous Mango Bango cocktail. Darn good drink! Yes it's made with a mix... more
