Who doesn't love a Restaraunt that you can ride up in a boat to the dock, tie off, grab a table,…read moreand enjoy the view. What a treat. This was our first visit to this establishment. Our expectations were high. As we walked down the dock checking out the other boats tied off along the way we could hear laughter and good music. (Be mindful of any loose boards) We were greeted as soon as we walked up and seated at an 8 top right on the deck viewing the lake. The menu had a lot of appealing items to select from. A majority of them being fried seafood fair. The prices were reasonable for the selection as well. The six of us all ordered something different. I had the Firecracker Shrimp (huge!), my wire ordered the crab cakes (disappointing due to more filler than crab at $22 for two), son had the 8oz burger (he loved it), tenders for the little guy, my uncle ordered the alligator bites which they were out of so he picked the catfish nuggets, and my aunt got the chicken nachos. The portions were rather large. Down to stars. I'm on the fence between 3 or 4 for these reasons. We arrived around 2:30pm and probably waited just over an hour for our food. The little ones were restless and cranky. The food was decent with the exception of the crab cakes. Servers were overwhelmed somewhat due to customers sharing stories from what I could gather from nearby tables. People are chatty when the mixed beverages are flowing. However, I love the experience, vibe, and the view. So 4 it is for this trip. You should check them out. I would definitely like to come back. It was really fun and I can only expect that place to get crazier as the summer goes on. Side note: If you order water, there is a $0.95 charge. Also there is a membership discount, but I don't know what that entails.

They've got TVs for the sports fans, live music for the toe-tappers, and patio games for anyone who needs to feel "athletic" while drinking. The patio's always buzzing, the drinks are suspiciously cold, and the service is exactly what you'd expect -- friendly, efficient, and occasionally sarcastic. It's not about being fancy; it's about being fun. Come for the beer, stay for the banter, and leave only when your phone battery and social battery give out at the same time. Cheers!

Highly Recommend Sharks & Shooters! As new residents of…read moreRocky Mount, we were looking for a place where we could relax, meet people, and feel welcome. At first glance, you would never guess Sharks & Shooters is a bar--it looks more like a local legion or community gathering spot. But don't let appearances fool you! After trying a few other bars in the area, Sharks & Shooters quickly became our go-to spot. The biggest reason is the amazing atmosphere. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with a warm welcome from Jess, Jen, Ang, and of course Quinn, depending on who's working. They are all fantastic, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like you're at home rather than just another customer. What really sets this place apart is not only the staff but also the people who come in. As newcomers to Rocky Mount, we weren't sure what to expect, but the regulars and locals have been incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's rare to find a place where both the staff and customers make you feel like part of the community from day one. One experience that truly shows how much they care was when we were having trouble getting an Uber home because the driver couldn't find where we lived (yes, lol!). Instead of just wishing us luck, the Sharks & Shooters team went above and beyond to make sure we got home safely. They helped us find a driver, Nick, who was absolutely fantastic. That level of kindness and customer care is hard to find these days and says a lot about the people who work there. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere, great service, friendly faces, and a place where everyone feels like family, Sharks & Shooters is the place to be. We're so glad we found it and look forward to many more visits. Thank you to Jess, Jen, Ang, Quinn, Nick, and everyone at Sharks & Shooters for making Rocky Mount feel a little more like home.

This is becoming my go-to spot when I'm back in my hometown...mainly because, they always seem to…read morebe open when nowhere else is. As a kid not thinking about bars I would pass this place and thought it was an indoor gun range. As an adult when I was back home a year or so ago, I was invited to meet up here and perplexed until I learned it was bar. Most recently I was home for the Thanksgiving holiday and after a few plates and family bonding, you want to hit a bar (I know it's not just me). Two or three other places weren't open so my friends and I settled on this place around midnight. I like that there's 2 separate areas with different playlists going on in each environment. You've got the bar and billiards hall up front for a bit of louder recreation. Then you also have the bar with the more lounge environment in the back room to relax and chat with your people over cheaply priced beers or cocktails (nice selection of non-bottom shelf liquors. The bartenders in the back are always pretty cool too. They enjoy being apart of the conversation which makes the atmosphere inviting. All in all it's a good spot. I see why they've been around for so long.

There was an outside little drink station as well as in the actual Tavern they had an outdoor deck area and in inside place to sit. They also had tables around the stage to sit on and enjoy the music. In the little back room that was off to the side they had a painting class going on. There was lots of nice dogs that we got to make friends with. Met buck and Kimbo. Both amazing people! Got some delicious lemonade that you could enhance with different flavors. They seem like they had interesting drink choices and I heard from lots of patrons that they had drinks that tasted amazing and some of their favorites that they could find around the area. There was a lot of grilling going on that day so lots of sausages and hamburgers. All looked delicious as well. People were really chowing down on them! The parking is outdoor parking and you pretty much just figure out your own spot to park in so there is a lot of room and availability to figure out somewhere to park. Just don't block people in because that would be rude. Will definitely be back!
