I don't know about you, but I'm always on the lookout for a great Philly Cheesesteak in the Midwest. Sad to say, the Pickin's are quite slim in my neck of the woods. I'm still trying to make it to Philadelphia to eat the best one there, but so far, I've only made it to Pittsburgh...oh, soooo close... The best I can do for my region of the planet is Sharks Restaurant and Billards. Upon the suggestion of an extended family member I rolled up to check it out. What a huge establishment with tons of space housing pool tables and big screen TV's everywhere! There is also a nice restaurant area and bar. Wow, what a treat! The server was chipper with a great personality. I ordered a regular Philly vs the spicy one and a house salad. The Philly was sooo good. The beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese were delightful! Omgudness, I've thought about it often since I left. The Lord willing, I've GOT to make it back for another one. The staff welcomed me and told me to come back. Other customers were friendly and one even jumped in a picture that was being taken of me. What could I say? I graciously let him in. The ambiance is fun and relaxing and a great date night spot. There were people shooting pool and I know some were regulars. Oh and the menu has quite a variety with daily specials. They have appetizers, comfort food as well as down-home cooked meals/dinners. What a delight! Want a great place to shoot pool or watch a sporting event with plenty of space and excellent food? Sharks Is The Place! Where have I been all of my life? So glad I gave them a try. My new Philly spot for sure...better late than never, huh?! read more

So I looked at the reviews before I went to Sharks, and it had me a little nervous because there were lots of opportunities around the service. I went specifically for a reunion and just in our group alone, there were probably over 30 people, and the establishment still had it regular business on a Friday evening. I got there a little after 6 pm, and a large portion of my party were already there, and their drink orders had already been taken. Shortly after getting there, my drink order was taken. We ordered appetizers, jalapeno popper dip, mini burritos, loaded mushrooms, and wings. My sister ordered their KS strip. Considering how busy it was, our waiter came over pretty often to make sure we were OK even though they were slammed. The food came out hot and can I tell you for "bar" food, it was amazing!! I am so mad at myself for not taking pictures. Go for yourself if you want to play pool and eat some good food and I hope your service is as good as mine was. read more

Shark's - Hanging out with the fam - Pool Halls Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

Best time ever I love this place I come here anytime I can get my friends to come with. Always clean and service is always great

Server, Emily disappeared and had to ask another waitress to find her so I could get my check. Once Emily showed up she was rude and told me I was interrupting her dinner. I asked for a receipt and she checked out two other tables before she came back with my receipt. I was very disappointed and will probably not be back. read more

I went to sharks on a Thursday night and for the most part it was nice until I tried ordering a drink for myself and the older bartender was just talking down to me the whole time like I was a dumbass. I try to be understanding that they're in a rush maybe and I was being nothing but nice. I still have 4 stars cause everyone else has always been nice and it's a fun bar for the most part! read more

The food was good. But they hit my card for 5$ even after I paid cash and left a good tip. NEVER GOING BACK!!!

Played pool and had a drink. It was fun and inexpensive. The staff was great. Good atmosphere. My game even got better. I'll be back

Had my retirement party here and went very well. Plenty to eat and drink and reserved pool tables for a good size party.

been at Sharks's for ten years adam is not management material when he brings a crazy customer to do his work he needs to go read more

The food here is good but my biggest complaint is when people reserve both areas for an event. We came here specifically to shoot darts but not allowed to since ALL of the dart boards are in both areas!! And what makes it worse is NO ONE is using those dart boards!! Why tf do you not put at least a couple of dart boards in another area in case you run into situations like this?! Fucking stupid af! Now we have to go to Side Pockets just to shoot darts. read more

Shark's - Darts area - Pool Halls Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

If I could give this place no stars I would. They kick everyone out 30 minutes before their actual closing time that's listed. They won't let you wait inside, they will kick you out into freezing temperatures. And they only give you literally 1 minute for last call. read more

The manager changed the bar clock to be 15 minutes ahead and told people they had to leave. The door said they close at 1:30a.m and the manager started knocking in pool balls that people paid for at 1:11a.m. 21 degrees outside and would not let people wait inside for their rides. Highly recommend going anywhere else. read more

Shark's is a great time! They have ALL the bar games and plenty of space for large groups and tournaments. I haven't had a full meal there, but I'm told the burger is good and I can attest that the tots are grade A. I especially enjoy the darts section in the back. The boards are high quality and it's close to the bar :) I also recommend getting a specialty shot. We had one the last time I was there (they're only about $4 each) and it tasted JUST like a jolly rancher. Definitely a go-to place if you want to play a game of pool, darts or even air hockey! read more

Shark's on Shawnee Mission is a huge entertainment center for all family members. Many pool tables, dart boards, foosball tables and televisions. Plenty of seating and space to enjoy Sunday football Pastrami sandwich and chicken wings were hot and tasty. House baked chips were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and table waitress by Kylie was exceptional. Great independently owned neighborhood business to support. read more

Came to play pool with my sons at7pm.I've been in APA/ BCA/ and 9 ball leagues, and always enjoyed playing just about every place. This one took the cake! Had a manager come up and lie to my face 2 times! He told me kids weren't allowed past 9, and that I can understand. But to say he came around at 8, and told everyone was a lie! Which I called him out on, and then he changed his story to he said it over the speakers! I was there with another dad and son; and they didn't hear anything either. We had to leave our food, and drinks half eaten. As, we were told to leave immediately! Funny, it was only 8:50 and we supposedly had 10 min!! I will never visit this place, and I would hope the leagues would change locations for tournaments. Otherwise, I will be a no show for anything at that place with liars and rude staff! Props to our waitress, who apologized continuously for the way we were treated. read more

Great place to stop by and play pool and grab a drink with some friends. It is pretty busy on week days due to their pool league but our server was amazing super friendly and funny and kept us entertained! read more

Booked a reservation at sharks for a birthday party of 10-12 people. When we arrive the space was reserved and ready. We had one server through the night but she was on it! Drinks and food were timely, she was kind and honest when bringing the checks about the added gratuity, which is rare from my experience. The food was so good which was a surprise for a pool hall. So good and the prices were extremely reasonable. Will be back when we are in the area read more

I went here last night. It was a Saturday night at 10pm and they were super busy. My sister and I were there to shoot some pool. They did not have any openings when we got there so we ordered Chipotle flavored wings and drinks to wait for the crowd to die down. After an hour or so they were still full on the pool tables, so we decided to call it a night. I definitely would not recommend going on a weekend night because you would have to be aggressive enough to get a table (it's a first come, first serve style) otherwise you would probably be waiting for a while. Also, the girl's bathroom was filthy. The floor was really wet where you can actually slip and fall if you're not careful. We weren't sure if it was water or urine everywhere, which was a gross thought. I would definitely come on another night where it'll be less busy and cleaner. In the past, I've always had a good experience of being able to get a pool table within 30 minutes or so, even on a busy night, but this time wasn't the best experience. read more

Free pool 11am-5pm. Food was good and drinks great. They just daily drink specials and food prices we fair. Bathrooms clean. We visited with locals and it was highly suggested. They have space for private parties, foos ball, serveral dart boards and around 24 pools tables. I sat close to doorway with friends. Other locals would pass by were kind. It made me feel like a great place to come. read more

If you like to play a little stick now and then, or maybe you're even good enough to be an extra in the next iteration of The Hustler/Color of Money, then Sharks is for you. LOTS of tables cover a huge square footage, both big tables (9') that you can rent by the hour (like $7 for an hour) or 7' tables that go for a buck a game - and yes they have a change machine. Be forewarned that league nights will eat up most of the tables, so check their website for deets on league or event schedules. If you're coming for the food, then it's nothing special, but they have put *some* thought into their menu. Loaded Mushrooms are definitely that, and like many items on the menu, they're battered and deep-fried (which is not a bad thing). Drink specials pepper the menu and calendar, with some unique offerings like the Monday Mule, which somehow makes Fireball Whiskey and other Mule-ish ingredients go together. Happy Hour is pretty much daily and always has a theme or a great value. But the reason for Sharks is games and adult leisure, so pool, a limited selection of arcade games, and a kickbutt darts layout offer up exactly the core business model. Lots of TVs are raised up and tilted for viewing at almost every corner of the place, so you won't be missing a game or live event while you enjoy some gaming. Give me quarters and cold beer and I'm on my way to HappyLand. Thanks, Sharks! read more

Really bad service. Our party could tell that we weren't "wanted" left and had a 100% better time at a different bar. We had a big party - called ahead and they were super understanding over the phone, when we got there it was a complete turnaround. We ordered one drink each - the waitress charged the wrong cards- and we left. Every person that was in the party will probably never come back here. Would not recommend read more

First.... there is over 15 TVs and it's a sports bar!!! But they didn't have my football game on!! Apparently they don't have "FOX" In their package!!! Ummm ok no FOX?! 2nd my wings were cold !!!!! I guess I'm just upset because I drove over 15 miles to come watch a NFL game and to have a beer...All that just to be told they didn't have the channel !! SMH I GUESS IM JUST A SALTY CUSTOMER right now ! read more

If I could leave this bar zero stars I would. We got kicked out because we bumped into one lady and she complained. And the cops were called on us. Do not come to this bar. The waitress was completely rude to us but yet I still left her a tip. We were wrongly accused some some security "guards" who kicked me out for no concrete reason. DO NOT come to this bar. read more

My chicken burrito (Tue lunch special) with queso was delivered with a smile in about eight minutes. The burrito tasted great, the service was somewhat friendly and attentive, and the price was good at $6.00. This place is huge, with 24 pool tables and 4 foosball tables. If you like pool, foosball, or darts, then this is a great option. read more

this place is near and dear to my heart solely for the fact that my late friend Dawn took me to this place when I just moved up here in '14. This was before the construction of the eyesore of the clinic in front of Shark's of course, and man...did I have fun. We sat up at the bar and had conversations with anybody and everyone. The drinks were fantastic and the service was impeccable. Of course, I always sit at the bar to get the best service and I wasn't disappointed at all in the slightest. The pool tables and dart boards are one of the main reasons I go, but of course the people and drinks are the best part of it. keep shawnee alive with small business and make sure you go! read more

Even if you don't play billiards, their bar is very nice and the bartenders are so helpful and very efficient!

Staff was rude, then kicked me out while I was looking for my girlfriend, they said I was drunk.... I was not

Be careful when you go there the waiters be stealing your money charging you for stuff you didn't order

Food is really underrated for it being a pool bar! Nothing bad at all on the menu! Drinks are cold and decent service.

Try the Sex In The Shower Drink. Very good. Tastes like jolly rancher. Burrito bite appetizer is amazing! read more

I have been here a few times for lunch. Today went to have burgers specials but opted for the enchiladas stack which was tasty and plentiful but not really real enchilada but for what it was it wasn't to bad. I was tired of burgers and I think my co-workers looks liked there burgers but was overcharged on one. But they can write there own review. I would recommend the pork tenderloin and fries it was delicious and tenderloin was hand cut. My other colleagues ordered pizza and was quite tasty also. So I will come back and try the pizza and write about it read more

Edited Touch Tunes. Unedited would be 4 stars. Food decent, bartender sticking up for herself is 10 stars. I've been here four times since my visit here. 4 star pool hall, 3 star execution. read more

I've visited this place a couple of times and haven't had much to say about them. The service is fine can't really complain, the wings are great, especially the buffalo wings the drinks are mediocre. My last visit to this place was a little different, the bartender was great per usual, and our waitress was great as well and very attentive and sweet! The wings were great and overall my groups game night was a success, until the main manager made an appearance. The manager was very rude, his comments were very unwarranted and prejudice. His actions followed suit and were very prejudice. It's unfortunate that this one persons actions can change my entire demeanor on the entire establishment, but I highly suggest going elsewhere like Side Pockets, etc. read more

First off, the burger is very good. People are nice. I go there to play pool. Far too many tables need new cloth. There are some decent tables and the 9' tables look OK. It's spacious so when I play on week days it's not crowded. I'm on my way to becoming a regular, that's how much I like playing pool there. But if I can't get a table with decent cloth I'll go elsewhere. Check it out. read more

Met a few friends at Sharks to play pool last Friday night and it was quite fun. We were with a good group of people that were a table with a server and the evening was great. We ordered a few pitchers of beer and our server, although young, was very attentive and good at her job. I haven't ever had food here but saw many people eating and things looked good. I would definitely go back because the drinks weren't very expensive and they had various bar games (darts, billiards, poker tables and video games). If you're into bar games, you should check this place out. read more

My wife had a reunion there last night and there was food catered by them. Nothing to write home about. A little bland but ok. I was very surprised that I was charged Per refill on my coke because there policy is that you get one free refill if you order an entree. We all know the markup on soda is astronomical as it but to apply that rule on a reserved catered party. How cheap. Have to remember that rule for next year if they negotiate a contract. Where ever that place May be. Our waitress could have smiled at least once. Just once. I was there for four hours. Just once smile and I am a huge tipper. Do you ever wish your tips were higher? Be nice and outgoing. Update: dropping review to a 1. Nasty as all hell. Food and service was just nasty. May or may not return. Sad read more

I worked there for 2 days. When I was interviewed I told him I could not work on Sunday he told me it was fine in fact I still have the messages. I called back and talked to a man named author and he was so rude to me on the phone and called me a bum because I wanted my pay check that I still haven't received and he told me I wasn't speaking to him like a adult but he asked me the same question over and over again and was twisting up my words and telling me to calm down when I was only asking a question. He told me I had a no call no show but never explained that to me in fact I tried to call and no one would tell me why I wasn't no longer in the schedule. I did not have a good experience working here. The professionalism def needs some work. Sorry but I'm day 2 training you can't expect me to know all the managers and who to listen to and who not to listen to. I was listening to my trainer who is also a manager and he told me on the phone that I wasn't trusting him and I know exactly what he's talking about I asked to go out side to have a cig and he said I could but she told me that I have to ask her before I go outside she even questioned me while I was outside if I asked to be out there and I did ask but you can't expect someone on their second day to understand everything and know who to ask and who not to ask when my trainer is telling me to only listen to her. Then when I'm wondering when I go back in he tells me I was a no call no show when I wasn't at all. So if you want a job that confuses you and doesn't communicate with you on a professional level go there and don't forget to ask for author the very not polite manager who makes fun of people the second he walks in the back. Just terrible and I still haven't got paid!! Call me a bum because I want my 2 day pay check no asshole I worked I should be paid for that... sorry wow what a jerk sharks bar in Shawnee mission read more

Went to the bar omg my server was horrible at the menu. She said the menu is online, looked online I wanted country fried steak dipper served with mash potatoes and white gravy. First order she brought out deep fried chicken strips with a garlic dipping sause. That's not what I ordered but she was soo confused of what I was ordering and couldn't change the order??? What? You cant just have them make me what I want? My spouse doesn't like it when I speak up when it comes to my order so I let him talked it out... Second order came out I got sliders with chicken tender with mash potatoes sandwich? I told my server I dont want a sandwich before putting in my order the first time and I even showered her the menu online but she didnt even try to look at what i was showing her... order came out I was soo upset! I only ate 1 of the sliders only bc It was already too much of a convenience for her to get it right the first time I mentioned to her that it was wrong.... i told my spouse I'm not tipping her i am upset of what i had to eat... disappointed at the new menu that they couldn't even remember! So much for 60$ down the drain! Even the managers did not come forth to see what the problem is... FYI the server said that their wings are prepackaged so if your looking for the old recipe of their wings you won't be able to find it here! read more
