Since Abilene is devoid of a Chipotle, Sharky's steps up to fill that void. In a leased space inside the United Supermarket, you'll find this make your own burrito spot. Choose your size (kids or adult), your tortilla type (flour, wheat or jalapeño), and then go down the line and tell them what to put in your burrito (a la Chipotle). I chose black beans, rice, tomatoes, onions, pico, onions, and cheese. After you're done, they wrap it up and get your chips and salsa. I asked for mild and medium. They were a great combo and pretty fresh. I just wish they heated up the burrito before it was done. But a satisfying meal nonetheless, especially after an hour on the treadmill. I'd be a regular if I lived in Abilene. I'm sure all those repressed college kids are grateful for it. read more

I love the nachos here, but I cannot stand the people that work there all of them always have a problem and they never listen

First time trying Sharky's after hearing people talk about it for years! Sharky's is located inside the grocery store United. It's a great price for the quantity of food. You can order a burrito, chips, and dip for about $5-6. A filling meal that's quick and easy. I can honestly say that it's overrated though. Not great flavor when it comes to their meat whether you're eating steak or chicken. Their spicy ranch was good! It's an incredible deal, cheap! Worth trying if you haven't already, but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - a sandwich and chips in a styrofoam container - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Showed up for breakfast this morning The should have opened 20 minutes ago Nothing is ready. Worker was cussing at us about it read more

I don't get the hype here. Food is okay. Below Freebirds and Chipotle for sure. Lots of ppl love this place. Probably was popular because Abilene did not have many options for a long time. But now, Rockin Rollerz is in the same strip, which has great food. read more

Usually, I love Sharky's. Today, it was disgusting. I got the carnitas and it literally tasted like somebody had popped a can of over-salted cat food on my nachos. Not even pork cat food. Like mystery fish cat food. I was unimpressed with the food today. The service as usual was satisfactory. But I'll never come back, I ended up trying to scoop the slimy, wet, soggy overcooked grossness off my nachos but every now and then i got a cat food flavor. I've never eaten cat food but, I can imagine it's tastier than this carnitas... read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - Carnitas... looks like somebody already chewed it. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Horrible. Beef had no flavor. Burrito handler was a total d***, that is when he wasn't ignoring us and acting like the depressed cartoon person in a Zoloft commercial. I said "just a little bit of beans;" beans make up 45% of this burrito. I said "a dash of med hot sauce;" it was then smothered. I thought that much sauce would ruin the burrito but I never once tasted it /: (...just like everything else besides beans) Plain rice? Thats it? THIS PLACE SUCKS. read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - Sat next to this filthy table for over 30 minutes. No, they were not busy. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I like Sharkys but it's not one of my favorites. Nothing too special about this place. The toppings are all pretty basic but I do love their chips. I think their chips are a live or hate for people bc the rest of my group didn't like them. Basic Burrito, Basic Experience. Probably will go back and I don't know why. read more

The employees are awful they want to play and spray each other with water instead of taking care of customers or cleaning. My first and last time coming to this place. read more

Great burritos at a great price. They are huge! Be sure to get lots of their spicy Ranch sauce! read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - a sandwich and chips - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Sharky's has awesome burritos, I love the free chips, the spicy ranch, and the potatoes. One bad experience with an unhygienic staff member. Best burrito in town. read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - a blurry photo of a restaurant kitchen - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Relaxed, casual atmosphere... a great place to meet friends. The food is fresh, portions are generous, and inexpensively priced. Free WiFi makes it a great place to study or virtually office. Located near Abilene Christian University and Hardin Simmons University, Sharky's has a vibrant, fun ambiance. Closed on Sundays. read more

Sharky's , I've only been there a few times. They do have some mighty fine burritos. I don't get up in that part of Abilene much during the week but next time I do you can count on me stopping in. read more

Sharky's Burrito Company - Sharkys - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Great stop for a burrito. Definitely reminds me of free birds or chipotle but in my opinion better. Service was excellent quick and super friendly. They give you a large portion for your money. I really liked the spicy ranch. Best place in Abilene in to grab a burrito. read more

Fun place! The people really help make it - awesome servers and staff in general. Super nice and helpful. Burritos are very good - not as good as Freebirds but cheaper and better value. Free chips and salsa with the burritos was a big plus. Salsas are awesome and fresh. No complaints! We'll be back! read more

Can we get a clean up on the employees attitudes and dining tables? I have been going here for over 10 years now and the food is great. The spicy ranch is something to dream about. The employee basically slammed the guacamole into my burrito as if she were taking her day out on it. The friendly chatter you would want with a chipotle style set up is lacking. My burrito was good, the spicy ranch met all my expectations and the chips were warm. I just wish the service was a little more warm. read more

If you're gluten free don't bother going to Sharkies. I assumed they would at least have corn tortillas. I was sadly mistaken and my daughter hugely disappointed. We could have had nachos but we can have nachos anywhere. Much cheaper. And they aren't special. Or we could buy toppings and throw them in a bowl. Again we can do that anywhere. Even Taco Bueno for much less. And we love Taco Bueno so if that's what we want we'll go there. We truly understand that not every restaurant can cater to us but seriously a burrito place should have corn tortillas. That's a no brainer. And the employee had a "whatever" attitude. I think that's why I am most annoyed. My daughter was sad and she was just indifferent. As if she was annoyed she was upset. At least show compassion. We love United - it's where we buy our groceries. And this is not how anyone at any United I shop at would have treated us. They may not could have solved the problem but they would have cared and would have shown compassion especially to a child. read more

Decent food, low price, huge portions. Chips are incredibly salty with their seasoning. There's usually a wait at lunch time and ~2 people working a busy counter. Biggest complaint is watery ingredients make the burritos difficult to eat without making a mess. read more

This place kind of reminds me of Freebirds EXCEPT Sharky's rice is actually cooked right. I tried it for the first time and it's not too shabby. To me it's a little pricey but you do get chips and salsa. As for how long it takes to get through the line, I think it depends. When I went it took like 5-7 minutes but then a line grew and plus, there were only two people working...so...give them a break. Tastes pretty good. Good queso, I like it better than Chipotle's queso. Overall, the atmosphere reminds me of Fuzzy's, if Fuzzy's were next to a Starbucks in a United Supermarket. read more

This place is yummy! I get the kids nachos or salad with the spicy ranch!!! During college classes it is busy but so worth the line. The line goes quickly. read more

Poor copy of Freebirds. Overpriced, too salty, and nothing special about the decor. The food is also hit and miss. Plus you have to pay for refills? Just waiting for Freebirds or Chipotle to open and put them out of business. read more

Slow, slow, slow... 1/10/18 lunch at Sharky's with my son. Showed up at 12:35 PM finally received meal at 1:09 PM. Long line, plus all waiting visibly frustrated. Young employee working behind counter showed minimal awareness of urgency. Bad experience and difficult for customers with limited lunch hour during work week. read more

Sharky's is pretty much a student staple in Abilene. The service over the years does seem to have gone down and we did wait for a good half hour in line today. However, the food (spicy ranch especially) still make it a great place to meet up with old friends! read more

SHARKEYS. an Abilene staple. it's just really good. i even used to work there and it didn't ruin it for me. first rule: get the spicy ranch. you can have a burrito, nachos, or a bowl. I always get the nachos - deliiiiccccciiious. read more

I work at sharkys and I used to not be to impressed with the service when I was a customer but as a worker I realized it's hard to keep everyone happy although I do my very best to try and be helpful and friendly in any way that I can. I really enjoy my job and the management is amazing, our food has been bad in the past but we have been trying our hardest to fix that and create some of the best burritos in Abilene. I read the reviews on yelp and they really help me figure out what to do differently at work to better serve our guests. Come to sharkys and we will do the best we can to satisfy your burrito craving! I'm not biased at all just because I work here just so y'all know, I've been a sharkys local all my life. read more

Absolutely amazing! Ordering the Kids Plate is the way to go. It's cheaper and you still get a ton of food. The spicy ranch is to die for too! read more

Food was good and done fast even though it was during the lunch rush. The burrito I had was delicious and tasted very fresh. The place is clean with a laid back feel. read more

I normally like Sharkey's, but this is the second time I've had a mild case of food poisoning after eating there. It's always been a great to-go option, but I think I'm done with it for a while. It's not worth the risk honestly. read more

Always a great place to buckle down with friends for a meal or just spend a nice day studying!

I love Sharkys. Its a great place to grab lunch, its a short walk from the ACU campus, and the spicy ranch is the bomb. The manager(?), Eddie, is so kind and friendly. He is always smiling. I come here regularly and will until i graduate! :) read more

There WAS a long line but, that's just how a restaurant is. Food and ordering went by smoothly and quickly. Food quality was great. Environment was awesome. If you get the grilled jalapenos get less than you normally would. They will set your face on fire. read more

I can't recommend this spot even though they have potential. First of all, the cashier needs to cut his cocaine nail (I guess he doesn't realize that the bulk of their business comes from the Christian College across the street) Second, the senior citizen server needs to put more meat in the burrito or at least be consistent. It was very rice heavy with little flavor and the salsa was garbage. As soon as chipotle opens a store this place will go out of business! The only reason they are getting 2 stars is because of the chips. read more

I LOVE Sharky's! I've never been to a chipotle, so I can't offer a comparison, but this is definitely my go-to burrito place. The chips with medium salsa is so good, too. I have noticed the salsa has good days & bad days. read more

I owe a good portion of the joy from my college years to Sharkys. There is just something special about going to Sharkys for lunch after a long week. It's a phenomenal place to catch up with old friends. Abstinence from sharkys for any period of time will leave a gaping void in your life, that must be filled at all costs. The staff are very friendly and the options are pretty good. The Spicy ranch is an absolute necessity on anything you order. Food is really good once you learn to order to suit your tastebuds. Prices are slightly below average for this size of a burrito. This Sharkys is much cheaper than the Sharkys in Amarillo, and the food tastes better as well. Depending on the time of day you go, the line can be long, so plan accordingly. read more

Great HUGE burritos they are fast clean and FREE wi-fi can't go wrong stop by you have hundreds of options to pick from

I am obsessed with Sharky's. I go at least twice a week. The burritos are heavenly and spicy ranch is amazing. I absolutely love Sharky's. When I'm sad I go there. When I'm happy I go there. It's by far my favorite restaurant and everyone should go there. All the time. I love it. They need another location directly next to my house. read more

I love sharky's. What makes them different from other burrito places is they offer potatoes. Also, If you get the kid's combo you get a free drink with it and the burrito isn't much smaller. I can never finish a big one anyways. Spicy ranch with the chips is the bomb! read more

I love sharkys! I make a trip once a month to abilene to eat here (and visit family) the food has more flavor then free birds, you can get potatoes and spicy ranch (which is the bomb) on your burrito! The place is clean, people behind the counter are always fast, especially during lunch rush! read more

great substitute for Chipotle. unlike Chipotle, Sharky's does not have cilantro in everything - so that could be a plus if you're not a cilantro fan. for a decent price, you get a burrito and chips & salsa. the only downside is that the staff is not very attentive or welcoming. waited a long time for my order (excluding the wait in line). i got my order to-go but noticed that many unoccupied tables were still dirty. read more

Wonderful burrito place, similar to Chipotle. Fairly priced, delicious salsa/spicy ranch, and never had a meal there I didn't love. It's so good, it can get congested at peak times, go early and beat the crowd! Love, Love, LOVE! read more
