We've been coming to the Vineyard for years and have loved Sharky's since the Edgartown days, so we were really excited to bring the family back. The servers were genuinely kind and welcoming, which we appreciated. That said, the visit didn't quite live up to our memories. Service was pretty slow -- we had to ask a few times for drink refills -- and we were surprised the restaurant wasn't busier given it's peak season. The food was just average -- nothing stood out, and it wasn't what we remembered. We wanted to love it like we used to, and the staff clearly cares. Hoping this was just an off day, because we have a lot of good memories here. read more

The food is really no matter the dish and the drinks were ok in price and strength. It sits in the heart of OB on its busiest street. The servers seem to service all the tables and bus, which was efficient. There is no parking and the space is not that big (like most great MV spots). Also the restroom is separate from the building and not in good shape. You need a code. The decor is very on the nose with the Jaws theme, and it attracts folks. read more

Pretty good all around. Margs are tasty. The bowls are the way to go. The grilled chicken is good. The salsa is definitely not homemade. They could improve this place dramatically with fresh salsa. read more

So it has been many years since I was here, but I was telling a co-worker about Sharky's Marinated Flank Steak after she said she loves Cilantro. I said the best flank steak I ever had was here at Sharky's. When I complimented the staff she sent the owner over and he gave me the recipe. What a pleasant memory! read more

I saw the reviews for Sharky's and knew the reviews were average but I was happy to give it a try anyways. I love a margarita and some chips and salsa. Unfortunately, the reviews hold up true. I could cook up a tastier Mexican night at home rather than spending $130+ on an outing here. I tried a mango margarita and found it overly sweet (more than usual) so next, I switched it up and tried a spicy margarita and it was gross. I'm really not sure what they put in it, but it might've been the worst spicy margarita I have ever had. Onto the food, the chips and salsa were clearly poured out of a Tostitos jar from the grocery store which was disappointing. The guac was good though. Onto the meals, we tried the enchiladas which were pretty good with the pulled chicken, but the fajitas were pretty sad. There was really no taste and the chicken looked a bit rubbery to me. Other than that, the place itself was cute and we liked the atmosphere so it could be good for a stop in for a beer. Our server was very nice too. However, I just can't justify the price for the quality that we received. read more

We ordered takeout service tonight. There were 6 of us. The food was sub par at best. Tasteless enchiladas...I took 2 bites and threw the rest away. No One was happy with their meal. What a waste of money. read more

*sigh* I really wanted to enjoy this place, but apparently I wasn't quite booth-worthy. When we first walked in, there were two open tables available. We were told one was being held for a party of four, so no problem - we grabbed seats at the bar and waited. A little later, a booth opened up. Exciting! I went over to grab it and was informed that the booth was reserved for parties of four only. Imagine my surprise when approximately 97 seconds later (not that anyone was counting) two people were seated there. At that point, we were assigned what I can only assume is the restaurant's premium seating package: a table directly in front of the front door. This exclusive experience included a refreshing blast of wind every time someone entered or exited, dogs wandering through the dining area, constant foot traffic inches away from the table, and the occasional chair being carried over our heads for added entertainment. Truly immersive. The food was fine, but it's difficult to fully enjoy a meal when you're left wondering what qualifications are required to sit in a booth. Maybe it's age. Maybe it's attire. Maybe there's a secret booth rewards program. I'll never know. To make things even more memorable, there was also a convenient 6% surprise added to the bill at the end. Thankfully, I had dinner at Bettini the night before, where we were treated like valued guests regardless of age, appearance, or booth eligibility status. It was a nice reminder that hospitality still exists on the island. Wishing the staff the best this summer. If you're hoping for a booth, I'd recommend arriving in a tuxedo, carrying a briefcase, and bringing at least two imaginary friends to ensure your party qualifies. Save yourself the headache. Actually, save yourself the migraine and go somewhere else. read more

Sharky's the place to go if you want average food, standard/expected service, and mysterious fees that I quote -"do not go to your server" on top of a forced 20% gratuity, on a party of 2, adding up to over $100 for two burritos and two margaritas. Hope you enjoy because I will NEVER go back. read more

The service was really bad. We ordered the starter nachos as an appetizer and they came out last after our meals were brought. We ordered enchiladas and they were probably the worst enchiladas I have ever had. The margarita was great though! Our drinks were brought out after our meals and they forgot multiple items we had ordered , we had to remind them to bring the items they forgot. On a high note the place was clean but not well managed. Overall I think it's just a restaurant for tourists. Definitely would NOT recommend people to come here. read more

Sharkys is a great place to grab a quick bite while you're in town. The drinks are strong and delicious and these are some of the most loaded nachos I've ever had. My only recommendation would be to add more jalapeños since we only got 1 or 2. There's always a sports game playing on the screen and if you're lucky enough to grab a seat by the window or outside there is a ton of people watching! Service is very friendly and quick as well. read more

This place use to be decent but now everything tastes like it comes from Restaurant Depot. I recently ordered a chicken enchilada with red sauce and it tasted exactly like Chicken Parm. The menu said they were made from corn tortillas when they were obviously flour. Not a bad destination if you have kids but there are other options. read more

We went to Sharky's while on the island for vacation. Unfortunately the only handicap accommodations they could offer was a table in a dingy alley way on the side of the building. Very disappointing! read more

Service and atmosphere was nice as always. I ordered the bone in wings with the "hottest sauce" on the menu. Sauce was not hot/spicy at all. I asked for extra hot sauce to pour over which helped. This place is usually busy but had very few patrons; especially for a Saturday night. read more

Not a bad spot to eat! They had a wide selection of different quesadillas which I loved. I ended up choosing the bacon chicken ranch one and it was fabulous! The meat was perfectly seasoned and there was a great balance between ingredients. They also had a great selection of drink options (included a margarita flight that allowed you to try multiple flavors!) My only complaint was we were not allowed to sit outside, because they were understaffed. About 20 minutes after being seated and given drinks, another party came in which they allowed outside so that was a bit disappointing. But all in all would definitely recommend! read more

Come here for some strong margaritas and cool Mexican vibe when in MV. The service is quick and it gets filled up fast. The margaritas are cool with the different sizes like the escorpion bowl which can be shared but daring enough to try by yourself. I had the classic margarita called the grandiose basically a larger sized margarita. read more

Food was ok. I'd say average Mexican food. Staff was rude and SLOW. We were a party of 7 so we had to use 2 tables. Waitress took both tables orders at the same time. One tables food came out first then nothing for the other table for over 15 minutes. My husband went in (we ate outside) to ask because there was no staff around. The bartender? Said he would look into it. Nothing. I went in and found our waitress and she didn't even let me finish my sentence, didn't make eye contact and said "I'll be right there" with a slight attitude. I also saw what I thought was our food on the counter behind her. More time went by and finally the host came out with the other tables food. Was the same food that was sitting there. When we got the bill we asked if anything could be done for the wait issue and the bartender guy came out with a huge attitude. We explained and he was not apologetic and didn't see the problem. He did reluctantly give us a slight discount. For a place that survives on tourists they should be a lot nicer. There are plenty of other great restaurants in the area. I'd skip this one. read more

Picked some friends up from the VH ferry, stopped in for lunch, around 1:15. Still a couple of booths available and a few chairs at the bar. By 1:30 there was only outdoor seating (it was raining, so preference was to eat inside). SERVICE: We were seated right away and given menus. It was 10-15 minutes later when our drink orders were taken. We put in the app and lunch order at the same time. It was then less than 5 minutes when the app came, then just a couple more when 2 of our entrees arrived, Vegadilla and burrito. Another 10 minutes later the enchiladas arrived. We had to flag down the bartender to get our checks after having been done for 15 minutes. It looked like there was only one server for both inside and out. She was friendly, but hard to be attentive with so many tables to service. She did have a nice disposition. FOOD: The cheese dip was the same orange color as Velveeta, but with less flavor. There was a generous portion though. The chips could have been fresher. The guac had a store made taste to it. The veggies in the Vegadilla were very good. The other entrees were lacking flavor. ATMOSPHERE: Rustic and a bit sticky. read more

Worst customer service I have seen on the island. Food is also poor quality and takes a long time to come out even when the restaurant isn't busy. Do not recommend. read more

Boy should I have looked at Yelp before coming here. This place is terrible. Here's why - the "homemade" salsa is pace picante, the queso comes out of a can like you get at a baseball game, the chips clearly came from a bag. That was just the starters. The Skinny Margarita had so much triple sec in it a kid could drink it and not know there was tequila in there. For our dinners, I had a chimichanga. It was pedestrian at best. I asked for hot salsa and I got three packets of Cholula. Don't get me wrong, I love Cholula, but shouldn't a Mexican restaurant that advertises their "homemade" salsa possibly try their hand at making hotter salsa?!?!? The funny thing was that my girlfriend ordered the fish tacos. Now please remember, we are in Martha's Vineyard. This whole Cape Cod area has unreal seafood so why would they use Gordon's Fish sticks??? Yup. Perfectly formed Gordon's Fish Sticks. At the end of the day I paid $104 dollars for the single worst Mexican Food experience I've ever had. Moral of the story is to read Yelp first. Ugh. read more

Came last year and the drinks were decent, this year wow, massive difference. The food was so bland literally no salt at all and the drinks were incredibly watered down. No flavor for absolutely anything, not even mild flavor. Will not be back again. What a shame read more

One of the worst dining experience of my life! Service was not good and the food was horrible. Salsa was super cold and extra sweet. Black beans tasteless and straight out of a can with no seasonings. Guacamole was super spicy. Rice was hard. Chicken was chewy. Soft tortillas were hard. We ended up going for take out pizza after paying for this meal. read more

I would rate 0 if I could I went in and was going to sit at the bar asked where the restroom is and was told I have to be a guest I said ok yea we are sitting at the bar she said you can not use the restroom until you order a drink very aggressively she was very hostile don't waste your time coming here read more

A friend recommended I go here for a fun bar atmosphere in MV. I went during the day during Covid times so I don't think they were totally the same vibe because I hear it got crazy at night! Nonetheless, it was a cool place to set a few drinks with my friends. I LOVED the black cherry mojito. read more

i heard a lot of hype, but unfortunately, was a little disappointed. full disclosure: we came during the "off season", but life out here appears to go on as usual, so we hoped it would be as great as everyone says. we stopped by for drinks and apps on a cold day to escape the rain and the place was pretty full for december, which was great. drinks are just standard pub drinks. nothing fancy or special. sticky glasses, the usual. i would definitely choose to go with beer next time instead of a scorpion bowl (what was i thinking) as it was just an underwhelming amount of alcohol with way too much juice. beer and a shot of whiskey would have been perfect. the food was where they really lost me - the menu boasts "house made pico de gallo" and "fresh guacamole", but based on taste and appearance alone, i would be willing to bet this was tostitos jar salsa, some sort of prepackaged guac (we think maybe sabra or holy guacamole) and the biggest offense of all? the ball park cheese they called "queso". listen, i am a reasonable woman. i give restaurants a lot of leeway before i criticize because i worked in food service for 15 years and i get it. i just don't think you should offer things you cannot execute the way you have advertised. my friends had nachos and enjoyed them - perhaps the grocery-store bought toppings were more enjoyable in that setting. i will give sharky's another try next time i am in the area - i am holding out hope that the hype is real! read more

Walked in with a large crew, ordered some food and had some drinks. The bar tenders really kept up with our large crew - it was an early Monday afternoon and towards the end of the season. I had their jalapeño poppers and my daughter had the bean bowl and veg tacos. All came out hot and delicious. I had an signature shark- margarita hibiscus flavored and it was so good. I also dipped on some fancy tequila that tasted like vanilla. We had so much fun. read more

THE WAITERS ARE SO RUDE!! Only go to Sharky's if you want HORRIBLE SERVICE AND RUDENESS. Such slow service. Me and my family were waiting 25 minutes before someone finally came up to us to take our order but she was the rudest person ever anyway. Don't come here. read more

I would not recommend. It seems some of the bad reviews are exactly the experience we had and the good reviews seem fake and paid. The food is like getting a bag of frozen product and being refried or reheated. The nachos are terrible - sweet, and meat cooked badly. Kids meals are like a fried bucket of crap. Prices are not great either. Be prepared to eat out of cardboard plates, plastic cups and knives and forks. read more

The food was not good at all, although the service was okay, for this restaurant to be right on circuit street more was expected. Would not recommend. read more

We went here for a few drinks and met a friend. He is a regular there. Service was weak until our friend the regular arrived and the bartender finally noticed us and was then friendly and efficient. We did not order food so make no comment on it. The two most recent times that I was here, I noticed that the host staff needs some additional training. For example, staring at me in stony silence as I enter the bar does not constitute a greeting. read more

Staying in OB for a few months and decided I wanted some Tex-mex. Went in and had a fajita quesadilla with chicken. Not only was it huge, but it was delicious read more

Have come here before and had decent meals but not anymore. We had two tables, one with 4 kids and one with 4 adults. Shrimp fajitas and chicken fajitas literally had no seasoning on them - none - they looked boiled. No sizzle either. Told the waitress and she said it was on the veggies...riiiiight, must have been salt as there was nothing visible. Speaking of salt, The salt shakers had rust on them and was stuck to the sides...disgusting Kids had tacos and they love tacos (at traditional Mexican Catina's, not Moe's) but not these...was a pile of mush on a tortilla. So was the street corn which is a shame cause the flavor was good but the consistency was horrible. No soap or paper towels in the bathroom, told the waitress and still wasn't replaced by the time we left. Talked with the manager who didn't seem to care much, even when I showed her the unseasoned chicken fajita. She did take the fajitas off at least. Won't go here again. read more

Was so looking forward to their Sharkarita but they were very ordinary, not like before. Nachos were ok but lots of grease floating in the bottom of the dish. Sharky's seems to have lost its great drinks and especially good food. Now it is just very ordinary. read more

The family went in to sharkys for a lunch on vacation and we could get something for everyone. Margaritas, wings, Mexican, pulled pork, and cod for some local town flavor. The cod tacos were amazing so crispy with a soft tortilla, cabbage, and a zesty sauce that tasted mayo based almost like a tartar sauce to go with the fried cod. The portions on everything besides the fish tacos are HUGE and could be shared especially the flauta and quesadilla. read more

The chips with guacamole and queso are sooooo good. I could have eaten the guacamole and chips for my meal! The waiter really tried to sell us on margaritas, i think a bit too hard in my opinion. I got a burrito and was very happy with it. My only complaint is, who puts sour cream inside of a hot burrito? And inside of a quesadilla? Was a bit confused by that since it always comes on the side, especially for a quesadilla. Food was enjoyed by all and i will come back just for the guac. read more

This isn't a place you go because you're looking for quality, authentic Mexican food. This is where you go because late night options are limited or you want large portions for a reasonable (by MV standards) price. Stopped in several times for drinks, apps, or the loaded nachos. It's loud, the tables are wobbly, and the service can be uneven. And yet we enjoyed it for what it offers on a street with limited sit down options after 8 read more

My friend and I were looking for a place to eat last minute and came across Sharky's. Given a majority of the menu is Mexican, the wings were awesome!! I had the Ghost pepper wings which were probably the best dry rub wings I've ever had! Just the right amount of spice with a little sweetness. The wings were fried well!! I'm from the South so the level of critique for comfort foods is probably a little higher than most. The reason I gave 4 stars, our waitress took a while to follow-up on our drink refills and ordered the wrong wing order for my friend. read more
