A great spot for food, drinks, and fun! The food is way above any other bar and grill. Smoked wings! Brisket quesadillia! Roasted Brussel sprouts! Everything is top notch and affordable ;)

I’ve visited this bar several times with my boyfriend and have usually been treated fairly, except for one specific female server/bartender who has consistently come across as condescending and, frankly, profile-ish. Guess he just wasn't the right color for their liking.
Tonight, my son went in and asked for a single shot. Because they don’t have an ID scanner or proper knowledge of out-of-state IDs, she refused to serve him. To make matters worse, she allowed other patrons at the bar to mock and belittle him. When he asked for a food menu, she refused to provide one.
This was beyond disappointing and unacceptable. While the food is decent, the service—especially from this particular individual—is far from professional or welcoming. I will never spend another dollar at this establishment, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a respectful and inclusive environment. Not to mention that my son has been there at least 3 or 4 times without being asked for ID. So some days she wants to do her job and some times she could care less huh?

I Went in and Was excited to try the wings I've heard so much about .No one helped me . I waited for 10 or 15 minutes. No one even spoke to me. It was very dark dingy and very much a dirty dive would not recommend it to anyone. Extremely disappointed. I saw someone eating wings. They didn't look good so I'm not really too upset. I'm sure they weren't that good.

The first pizza was burned, it was sent back, and another pizza was brought out burned as well. I had to order another dish which was fair, but not good.

Such a hidden gem. Burgers, brisket grilled cheese and sharkys sticks are all amazing and the staff are so nice! Plus the pool tables are a bonus.

I like this place. Tables play well. Not too many though
I used to live across the street from Sharky's back in the nineties and would stop by every couple of weeks and get some grub and something to wash it down with. Except it wasn't grub... Sometimes I'd shoot some pool or throw some darts and meet some new folks, or see a guy I had seen there before. I met some crazy Aussies there one night... Anyhow, very friendly, easy-going place with excellent bar food, and setup. Ample space for elbows, and it's likely you may rub one here or there. Nicely. Not showing favoritism at all, but order the onion rings (they're thin, and unquestionably in the top tier of any ive ever ordered, along with the dip), wings, burger, the newest "concoction ", or anything on the menu and you'll eventually walk away, eventually, glad you did. Maybe at closing time. I rediscovered it recently, after a 25-year lapse, and came away grinning even more than I did back then. Down home place, even if you ain't from around there

It looks like a place you shouldn't eat food from, but my mom always taught me not to judge a book by its cover. The wings are perfect (get them grilled) and the pickle chips are wildly addicting.

Sharkys and I go way back...good times. The randy hot sauce for the wings is the play. The food overall alright. If you want to watch the game and have some drinks/wings. This is the place.
