      Came off the late night, about 10:30. The only good thing about it was the seasoning they put on the fries and the catfish nuggets. My shrimp looked like it was cooked in old grease and my fries were too crispy and old.

      Disrespectful they're selling old food and trying to pass it as fresh I just ordered from Uber Eats and I bit into my fish and instantly smelled ammonia. To make things worse I ordered a Chicken Caesar Salad they sent it with steaming hot chicken over lettuce with croutons. Disgusting!

      Sharks never disappoints when I don't feel like cooking. We always get the fried whiting, fried shrimp, and we also get grilled shrimp and rice. Their slushies are good too. They only use Hilal meat which is also a plus.

      Big menu, busy place, that moves people along well.

      If you need a late night meal, Sharks is pretty good. The choice is there.

      I like the desserts which have been ahead of the meals in quality.

      The fried foods have been basic. The shrimp was over fried. And the fries served soaked in oil. Cocktail sauce wasn't very good, and not enough given.

      Will be back. Convenience and choice matter a lot. Plus, I've always found the people,behind the counter to be personable and hard working.

      I wish I could give this place a ZERO stars! I bought a catfish meal that looked very fresh and clean. I was wrong! When I got home, I start eating it. As I was breaking the fish apart eating it, I kept smelling this very foul smell! I thought it was the hot sauce/tartar sauce mixture that was on the side. I kept smelling the tartar sauce mixture and it wasn't that. The smell got worse and worse as I was eating the fish. So I went on and smelled the fish and it was the fish that was smelling foul!! It smelled rotten like they had it sitting overnight in the heat for 5 days!! I was disgusted! I spit it back on the plate and grab my son's plate as well.

      Im so disappointed because normally the food is good here. I will NEVER eat here again and you better hope and pray I don't get sick! You guys come into our community and feed us half cooked or spoiled junk! You really should be a shamed of yourselves. DO NOT EAT HERE, this place is NOT clean! They don't really clean their food and you risk getting a bacteria if you continue to eat here. I SHOULD CALL THR HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

      I do not write a lot of reviews. But I absolutely had to in this case. They had a buy one get one deal and I was in the mood for a lot of things that they serve. I haven't had such good food in a long time. Their quesadilla steak and cheese was out of this world good, same with their amazing mozzarella sticks and I am so picky about mozzarella sticks lol. Hot fresh cheesy cheese inside! Their fried chicken and fries were so good. My order came piping hot, fresh, packed with care and the sides that come with it provided a presentation that you could tell it was just quality food. It's an absolute steal that they were doing buy one get one. The moment they do this again you can bet I will be ordering from them.

      The shark was over cooked and everything was greasy and lacked care and good intentions. This place doesn't respect
      The community it serves. And serves sub par food.

      Mmm so good! I ate all the food before I could take a picture. I had tasted a little of the macaroni and cheese and a tiny bite of the fish on my way home. Not to mention my car smelled amazing by the time I got back to my apartment. Also, the workers were really nice and there was a movie on while I waited. The lemon pepper was light though did not skip on flavor. Macaroni and cheese was delicious and flavorful as was the rice (which I'd asked for in lieu of French fries.) Classic and simple fried fish is unmatched. I forgot to mention I had catfish.
