    Awesome food and great people. We eat here at lease once a week. Can't beat the prices. We especially like the catfish and jumbo shrimp.

    This is a great little fish shack to grab a bite to eat when your in the mood for some fish. The…read moremenu is pretty simple but the fish is good. It's also fairly cheap for the portions and most people will even have some leftovers. The only thing I wish this fish stand had was some local fish like Bass or Crappie even just as a special every once in awhile, it would take it from four stars to five. But if your looking for a good meal for a reasonable price and like fried fish check it out.

    So this is where Halloween 2010 gets kicked off. On my way home from practice in Edwardsville I…read moretook a detour to stop by Kohls and Alton Square to seach for some costume essentials. I really wanted to not eat anything and run when I got home, as the nice days this fall are going to be over before you know it. But then I thought about gorging myself at Chinese Buffet. Sitting all by myself, stuffing myself. Jacki said it made her sad to think about me eating by myself and I would be a little embarassed to be seen eating by myself in Alton... So I drove a little farther and made a quick two lane change and pulled up to this little fish shack. I have been wanting to try here forever (since my love for fried fish began). I'm glad I finally made it by. The lady manning the window wasn't the friendliest, but I'm probably not the clientele she is most used to dealing with. I am not well versed in fish and asked her what she thought of a couple of them before just deciding myself to go with a Jack sandwich. I didn't know there was a fish named Jack, but he was rather tasty. She did inform me a couple of the sandwich varieties have bones in them, so I am happy of that. I also went with a side of potato salad which I was originally disappointed in the size, but the flavor ended up making up for that times 100! It was mustardy and sweet, kind of pickley. It didn't take long for them to fry up the fish and in no time I was sitting in Kohl's parking lot enjoying my bounty. The sandwich came with two filets, two pieces of bread of your coice (wheat), bread and butter pickles, and onions. It was awesome! So flaky and delicious. At first I was a little nervous this Jack was going to be too fishy, but that was not that case at all. I will definitely be making trips back by here.

    This restaurant has fantastic catfish and flavorful gyro sandwiches. Fair prices and quick service…read moremake this a great addition to the neighborhood. We ordered over the phone a family catfish and large French fry and were quoted 20 minutes on a Friday night. The food was ready and waiting when we picked it up in 20 minutes. They were busy with a lot of walk in customers who ordered at the counter as this restaurant is carry out only. I live in Florida and the catfish in Illinois is superior. This fish had a light crispy topping that was not at all greasy. The menu states everything is fried in 100 percent vegetable oil. I was shocked when we got an 8 x 11 pan with six large fillets. A large fry was your standard foam clamshell filled with hot crispy fries. They also have onion rings which I am definitely going to try. When I was reviewing the menu I saw that they have seasoning flavors: lemon pepper, spicy lemon pepper, garlic lemon pepper and ranch lemon pepper. I sense a theme here. I thought regular was perfect. My cousin has had the dark chicken which she said was very good. Like the fish the chicken coating doesn't overwhelm the meat and is similar to an original style instead of extra crispy. The gyro plate is plentiful and flavorful. The pita was large enough to hold the fillings. They have sandwich and meal options including fries. Since the portions are so large I think I think the monster burger and monster gyro plate (5 pitas, the works & family fries) must be HUGE! Desserts are cake, cheesecake, parfait and taffy grapes. I googled taffy grapes and it looks like fresh produce dipped in a candy topping with nuts mixed in. My next meal at Sharkey's will be onion rings and taffy grapes.

    Great food every time, I typically get the whole wings. Perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Only 4…read morestars because they forgot the hot sauce. Also 1 free drink for Bradley students.
