    Big place! Many rooms, fully decorated with sea and ocean decor. Our waitreess named Maya, very pleasant with a big smile to gives us a warm welcome. We sat near the water and caught a view of the local turtle and fish. The menu had alot to offer, also we had a buy 1 get 1 drinks all day. Or you can go to the happy hour, if you'd like. Pinchers is an affordable place, you can buy fresh fish too. I recommend getting the black grouper, clam chowder, and key lime pie! Nice little touch we discovered here. As we were leaving, we purchased this locally made salt scrub I'd like to go back for the happy hour with the shrimp, and oysters special

    Cheers

    Great menu, crabs and oysters that I don't always see on minutes. I had to send my meal back because it was barely warm. It was ok, but only really meh.

    Shrimp scampi

    We called ahead to join the waitlist as we came from the airport. We had a short wait when we got there. Our waitress did a good job and was very attentive. We sat outside with heaters and there was live music that was just finishing up. It made for a fun evening. We started with a hot crab and cheese dip with chips. It's very tasty and very cheesy! We had the two for one special margaritas, and they were good. And then we went with the same meals we had a year ago when we were here! Hubby had his shrimp scampi with garlic toast and loved it again. I had black and mahi-mahi with delicious green beans and hot hand cut fries. It's a lot of food and I couldn't finish the fries. Even though it's a chain, it still comes through with good food. The seafood is consistently tasty.

    Happy Hour Margaritas

    Pinchers never disappoints! Had a party of 8 this time and everything came out wonderful - can't ever go without getting the cheesy crab dip so delicious- their classic margaritas are also spot on. Blacked Grouper , Grouper sandwich and shrimp scampi were a few of the dishes we ordered and all were very tasty and portion sizes are always huge with double sides as well

    HOT CRAB & CHEESE DIP and CRAB RANGOON

    Not sure if I've left a review already because I come here once or twice every year!!! Every time I'm in town I always make a stop to come with family. Crab Rangoons are a MUST!! Shrimp, grouper, crab obviously are amazing. Service is awesome and really friendly and accommodating. The building is decorated fun on the inside and the bar is nice and has a lot of drink options.

    Server was very nice. Hush puppies were good and the cut fries. The crab didnt taste that fresh and the butter tasted more like pure oil.

    Ribs were cold; second round of drinks were not brought out; sangria wasn't as good as used to be in a past. Overal, food was delicious!

    Price is way too high for the quality of the food. Way better seafood spots in Venice.

    This place is absolutely massive. The location can't be beat, right on the beach and at the end of…read morethe pier. They have a store as well as tons of indoor and outdoor seating. The food arrived relatively quickly and our order was correct. The portions are on the larger side and the menu has tons of options for everyone. The grouper wrap got pretty soggy, which was a bummer, but I enjoyed it. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I think it's slightly above the average Florida touristy restaurant but the menu items are basically the same at all of them. The location and sitting outside definitely inflates this. We will come back.

    First off, I love the atmosphere and service at Sharky's on the pier. After a day looking for shark…read moreteeth it's nice to get some good grub and rehydrate while in some A/C. Some of the prices on the menu fluctuate as Mahi and Grouper menu items are market price (minus some set menu items). Ordering was a quick process, and our food came to the table hot and within good time. My wife had a bowl with blackened grouper and enjoyed every bite. I got the grouper wrap myself, a popular menu item, and I thought it was good. It was missing a bit of an x-factor for me, I felt like it needed some more of the special sauce or would taste better with blackened grouper in place of the fried grouper, but that could be more of a preference thing.
