I called today to ask if they were doing carry out. While I was on the phone, I was looking up their menu. Since I already had them on the phone I decided to place the order verbally even though you could order online. I told them I wanted (2) steak meals and wings. Since it's the Friday night special "steaks were available for dine in only". I then asked that since it's available to order online & if I paid, would they not honor my order? The guy handed the phone to their mgr and I asked the same thing. She said they they would honor it but that they would figure out how to take it off their website.So I ended the call laughing saying I was going to hurry up and order before they figured out how to change it, thinking we were good cause I wasn't rude, I just genuinely was confused about their policy. My husband goes to pick up the order and Sharks CANCELLED my order. So much for keeping her word and honoring my online order. We spend lots of money here so I'm really disappointed with how this was handled. read more

See all

Here now and having the worst experience! Our food is taking ridiculously long! How do you serve a burger before a salad to a table? The staff has the worst attitude!!! The place is far from being packed. Our waitress is overwhelmed with only a few tables. The bartender is obnoxious and needs a new job! The food when it finally came is mediocre at best. No tip, no return service. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

I went here this afternoon. We didn't get the chance to eat or play food based on the mask rule not being enforced throughout the location. I understand if eating or drinking , but there was no "requirement" of your mask unless you are walking around. No restaurant or store can make it 100% safe but there was no effort placed by this establishment. read more

Awesome place! Great food and great service. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!

This is an overdue review. Sharks is my all time favorite local pool hall. I've been a customer since 2013 when I first moved to Kansas. I often times miss going to this place since I'm always on the road. I used to shoot here 2-3 times a week. I'll still visit with every chance I get. Sharks was my 2nd home, and I know most of all severs, bartenders, and managers. They are super sweet and helperful. However, my last visit wasn't great. I had a very rude server whom argued with me over a glass of cocktail. I ordered Bombay Gin and Tonic, with double limes. I've recieved Jim bean and tonic instead. I kindly asked her to replace my drink, and she refused. This never happened, and I've never had Jim Beam and Tonic in my life. Her reason was that she'd always repeated the drink order 3 times to make sure there are no mistakes, and said it wasn't her fault. She wanted me to eat the cost and pay for another one. I was upset that fact that she refused to acknowledge her mistake and was giving me a bad attitude. Luckily, I realized she had left the receipt on the table after she walked away. It turns out she actually forgot my order and gave me someone else's receipt with Jim Bean and beers. I ended up looking for her on a busy Saturday night. She finally agreed to replace my drink and apologized insincerely. I spoke to bartender and told her there was a mistake with my order. She happened to made my drink immediately, and I forgot to mentioned I wanted Bombay. I got Wells instead. At the ended of the night, my server was going to charge me the price of my 2nd drink the same as first one. I didn't let that slide as well. I told her I got Wells and there is a price difference. I kindly insisted talking to the bartender to further verify my order. She then gave me an attitude again, and said, "Let me check it out on the computer before you run off to someone else"! How are you ever going to learn from your mistakes with that kind of attitude? I'll just request for a different server next time if I'm at your section. I wouldn't let a 1st time bad experience ruin my love and respect for this place. I'll be back again when I'm in town! read more

For a good round of pool, darts, air hockey or foos ball this is the place to go! Sharks is your typical pool hall but with so much more! This place is HUGE inside and gives you a variety of gaming options. The food isn't to die for and the drinks are average priced. There's nothing fancy about this place but it's an overall good time. read more

I came to this place for a solid year until Tyler took over management. We ordered 2 buckets of domestic beer and the special on the sign said $18/bucket. Charged 23.00 each. Said bud light isn't a domestic and told the waitress to go erase the special on the chalkboard. Do not go to this place expecting to pay the price on the menu. read more

Great spot. Well taken care of. Tons of tables. Great drinks. My buddy and I came here and really like it. read more

How can you give negative stars? The service was horrible. If the waitress forgets to bring a refill for one person at the table, I thought the normal response would be to stop and get the refill immediately and apologize. No 10 - 15 minutes later, no refill has been delivered, the waitress is chewing the fat the the crabby bartender, and my best friend had to go to the bar to get her own diet coke. While interacting with crabby bartender and waitress who says nothing to apologize, she asked where is the manager. The response from bartender "He is walking around". Then this spineless manager comes over to minimize and dismiss the experience. He basically called her a liar and left her in tears. Terrible customer service. The attitude in there sucks. Will not be going back anytime soon but I will be filing complaints. Oh what fun...NOT. read more

Numerous pool tables and televisions. Dart boards and poker tables are also available, as well as some other games (video, ping pong) Can get very smoky. Bands on Saturdays, with $5 cover charge. Cocktail service is hit and miss. Food is average to above average, with average pricing. read more

Steak and veggie soup.... Amazing!!!! Cheese dip is velveta but it's God and the tacos are delish. Great place to hang and play darts read more

Shark's - Yum - Pool Halls Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

They told us when we came in at 12:45 they were closing early @1:30 (on a Saturday night) we asked what was up with that and they told us it was new management. We were like ok no big deal and got a pool table and 2 beers each. 1:20 am comes around we have 3/4ths of our second beer left and 2 balls left on the table when a group of bouncers starts yelling at everyone to leave. They approach me very rude and I said you guys said you close early at 1:30 we will be out of the door by then, then my girlfriend and I get forcefully pushed out by a group of bouncers, All they had to do was give us 5 minutes and close 30 minutes early like they said instead of 40 minutes early on a Saturday night lol. Came here probably 30 times before this year and it's usually ok but this was the only recent time, it's usually packed until 2 every Saturday hard to find a table. This time half the tables were open at 12:45. I guess everyone is realizing how horrible the new management is. Even the staff was all new ‍ This isn't the same place it used to be, if you're looking for a good time, do yourself a favor and go to any other bar read more

Now that it is smoke free - it can get 4 stars! :-) (there is patio with tables out front for those who do smoke) I'm a fan for the laid back vibe/atmosphere. It is a great place to hang out with your friends. It is very large with pool tables and darts and what not. There are more than enough so that even if other groups are there you are not bumping into each other or stressing over grabbing a table or anything. The drinks are good. One of the waitresses is right on...the other you better order a drink half way through the one you are drinking if you want it to arrive by the time you actually want another. The food. Um, no. I have tried a few things and so far nothing has been good, much less exciting. The stuffed mushrooms were not good at all. The nachos...if they'd have REAL cheese instead of that fake liquid crap then yeah, they'd be tasty. But the sandwiches...bland. So far, no luck in the food department. The drinks and the atmosphere are great though! Also, great daily specials on food and drink. read more

The shark tank was a really good drink. Playing darts and connect four was pretty fun.

Terrible service. Was not very busy. Waitress came by couple times. Seriously "one word" conversations. She did not want to be there. Neither did we. Our party of four stood up and left. The table beside us advised that was a good idea, they wanted food but could barely get drinks. They had been there 45 minutes and had three similar waitress experiences. read more

We came in here because another place was busy and the only positive was playing pool. The drinks were decent. The wait staff was absolutely horrible. Me and my party have never felt so disrespected. We were basically forced out, and treated as though we were second class costumers. The waitress forced us to pay early and chug our drinks. Have never felt so unwelcome in a place. read more

A winner so far. Only been in here a couple of times and those were just to hang out for a bite and a drink at the bar. As far as pool halls go, this is definitely the cleanest I have ever seen (I think the earlier complaints about smoking must not matter now; I think the city of Shawnee has kicked them all outside now too). The couple of times we've been there, the jukebox has had a steady strem of either pop music or upbeat country, which gives it a happy but slightly off-beat vibe. They have lots and lots of tables, lots of seating, and plenty of room for a huge crowd. Good bar food, good drinks, and good service. Will definitely be back, especially if the urge for foosball or darts hits. read more

Huge spot for playing pool, darts, great bar, good drinks. A great place to meet a group of friends. Very spacious

This place is incredible. Great food, great atmosphere and awesome staff. Did I mention fairly priced daily specials. Love my new hangout.

A Friend and I decided to go somewhere to play pool and have a couple of beers. Reading through reviews you know: They serve food, it's big and lots of games. What I didn't read was it's kinda a hole in the wall but a few steps above that, they should turn up the music a wee bit more, and turn down the air conditioning some...it was stuffy and smelled like a men's locker room. read more

This place used to be great. Was a low key, relaxed pool hall. In recent years it has embraced more of a hip hop vibe. May be good for some but not my style. Wait staff is good but the bartenders can hardly be bothered. Maybe a good place to stop by to pregame before going somewhere else. read more

I liked the pool hall environment but I got food poisoning within an hour of getting home.

First of all we walk in and are looking for something to do and as soon as a girl playing league darts sees us she walks over and turns off the darts board nobody is using and is loudly talking with the waitress about how it was easier than explaining over and over there aren't any boards available. Nobody played on that board at all btw after we sat down. We could see perfectly well. Then the waitress however well attentive she was knew damn well what the specials were on bottles that night but tried to charge us full price to see if we would notice. We noticed. We won't bother your business again. read more

They have the best steak night for the money on Fridays and Saturdays. Take it from me. I know steak. I'm a sous vide master.

Love going here! It's fun to get a pitcher of beer and play some pool with some friends. Love the atmosphere.

This place was trash, mostly based on service. Gave the waitress specific instructions to how I would like my chicken wings cooked, then they were not the way I ordered, when asked to speak to manager, we were told she would be over as soon as possible and then waited about additional 15-20 mins, all I'm saying is its a restaurant and the customer is too priority. read more

I had so much fun playing darts and jenga. Then me and my friends were slapped in the face with white privilege when a friendly African american that we planned on playing jenga with was kicked out of the bar. After noticing that the bouncers had been watching us for awhile, we were asked by the bouncer if this man was bothering us. We said no. We were looking forward to having another jenga player. The bouncer proceeded to ask the man for his ID, without asking us for our IDs. The man said he didn't have one and was kicked out. We were still not asked for our IDs. read more

My classmates and I are attending a three week course at Fort Leavenworth and wanted somewhere we could go to simply shoot some pool, throw darts, and drink a few beers. The place is very affordable as buckets of domestic beer is $14 for 5, the pool tables are either $1 per game or $7 per hour for the table (not $7 per person per hour). There is a change machine for quarters so, you should be good. There is food available from a menu however, we had already ate so, our goals were met and the staff was friendly and very prompt. The place is in a shopping center and all of the store front glass glows with beer signs...my friend said, "hey, it looks like a lit up Applebee's..." I concur! We will return! read more

Monday special...Bar-B-Q chicken and potatoes are great!! I thought their side-pocket salad was awesome and it's at a very reasonable price! read more

This place is unsafe for women. We were harassed and verbally abused by other patrons even after we expressed we were married women trying to have a nice private discussion after book club. Female staff, managers and bartenders should be more sympathetic to female patrons who want to be left alone. I would hate to see what would happen to a woman who alone or was single. Very scary and women should avoid at all costs. read more

Great place to grab a beer and play some pool or throw some darts with friends. It has a relaxed atmosphere with friendly employees. The place is also big enough that you have find your own space for you and your friends. read more

Great food and a lively atmosphere - no more smoking (they have a smoking patio now), so that's a breath of fresh air. Food was good and has continued to improve - some of my favorites: Pizza, steak, fajitas, french dip, sliders or steak/chicken Philly. They host leagues (pool, dart...) during most weeknights and have bands most Saturday nights. Their bar is also impressive if you are not in the mood for bar sports, it features a nice 'bar area' and the service is good. read more

Lee B. Hey Nicole has a speech impediment butthead. She's a hard worker and treats everyone great. The world would be a better place without inconsiderate person like yourself. Too bad. read more

This is a great place to go and hang out at to play pool. I was looking for a bar that had pool tables and this is the place to go. They probably have close to thirty pool tables. I forgot cash and they had an ate there so I could get quarters at the quarter machine. They also have very friendly servers that come to your table asking for drinks. It is a good time as long as you want to play pool and hang out with friends. I did not try the food, might go back sometime to try the food. read more

They where VERY racist to us, we ended up leaving, the management was horrible. He was not calm at all when he was taking to us, he was yelling at us. Also looked like he didn't know what he was talking about. I would not recommend this place! read more

The food is good for bar food, but we're here every Tuesday for my boyfriends pool league and we always have issues with service. They are slow and always forget to bring something or to ring something in. Last week I had to remind our server after 20 minutes that I'd asked for a bottled beer because she had forgotten. I tried one of their specialty cocktails last night, the 'not your fathers root beer float' and it was undrinkable but instead of asking if they could get me something else the server avoided me for the rest of the evening. Your best bet is to go to the bar - the bartenders are great and it'll actually save you a lot of time and guarantee your correct order. read more

Great place with great prices. Every beer under the sun. Excellent food and service. Huge place with every game you would ever want, pool, darts, fooseball, poker you name it. Great place for business events and employee parties. read more

I go here for the lunch specials. You get to play pool free while you eat. Food specials are good and pool tables are kept in above average shape. read more

Always receive great service when I come here. Greta staff and fun place to just have a drink and play pool or darts! Will be returning soon

If you love playing pool, this is the place to go!! They have a ton of tables and great service! Even the food is pretty good! They have some pretty good specials too. One being that if you spend $5 bucks (in food and/or drinks) you get to shoot pool for free! I highly recommend this place!! read more
