Sharkys used to be a neat place to stop by and grab a beer and burger. But since fins opened up its been so busy that its hard to get a seat and you wait. Its been so crowded as of late it takes away from the fun for me. If you don't mind shoulder to shoulder people then it may work for you. Prices are not that reasonable and there are better places for me. My Sharkys days are over. Its not a bad place but its like going to Boca Lupo on half price full moon. Too many people and its like Disney World standing in line for Space Mountain.

Friends of ours met someone who worked in Sharkey's kitchen for while and was highly critical and frank about the bug infestation and cleanliness...
We don't go there any more

I did not want to be that harsh but I agree. IMO they have went down hill a lot since they expanded. Also Snook Haven off of River road is not that great either. There is one little Mexican rest. I really like on the bypass.

I could never understand why Sharkeys never expanded the small tiki bar they have. It is impossible to get a seat at the bar. Perhaps they want people to go to Fins and pay more for a drink.

We went Parasailing! I was scared as S__T but I did it LOLOLOL
It was quite fun and peaceful actually I'd do it again!
We rented a pontoon boat on the 29th but got it just about to open water and the motor started missing and spitting.....UGH. So, we had to turn around and go back. They had all the other boats rented out so we had to reset for the next day which messed up my North Port, Venice plans! Grrrrrr Oh Well!
We also took a Dolphin cruise on the Ft Myers Princess which was allot of fun as well
8 days of partying, though, takes a toll on old people like me........LOL
And I really missed my dog!

Zach, some people need to learn the hard way. It's just a meal.

We go to Sharkys every year while on vacation. I think it's mostly a novelty thing as the place seems to attract a lot of us tourists. We're moving to SW Florida in a few months so Sharkys will likely become a once in a while place to grab lunch.
