    Great little place with giant menu, staff is awesome food is great, gotta give Sharkys a try if you haven’t!

    I really tried to like this place. I really did. The first time I ordered wings and they were way overcooked and not good. This time I got the Blackened Mahi Sandwich and side salad. I got the side salad instead of the fries, because, from prior experience, the fries are soggy in the to-go container. The reason I picked the wings and the mahi were because of the glowing reviews. I really don’t know what happened, but they forgot the pickles, and it was only blackened on one side. The fish was dry! The coleslaw was good as well as the tartar sauce. I piled them both onto the sandwich along with the squeezed lemon in hopes try and get some flavor and revive the fish, to no avail. The side salad was good. My wife reminded me that we’d spent a lot of money there on different occasions and never had a good meal. I had to agree that the $25.90 we spent after taxes and fees on a 1/2 blackened, dry fish sandwich and a side salad was not worth it at all. I’m sorry to say we won’t be back.

    Sub is decent. Packed with meat. Strange that they charge 50¢ each for banana peppers and jalapenos even though I didn't get the tomatoes. Place is busy with the local beach bums for lunch. Cost was $14 for just a sub.

    The staff was amazing. The food was a bit lackluster. The chicken, it was very under seasoned and a bit too greasy. And the fries were old and overcooked. My spouse had the mahi sandwich and really enjoyed it. This place has potential just certain food Items aren’t the best.

    We took guests here for their great menu. We had black and blue burger, blackened fish sandwich, Ahi tuna salad and fish and chips. Food was fresh and was more than enough to eat. We had wonderful service from Abby. Nelly, the cook, came out from the kitchen to greet us. Such a fun atmosphere. To finish our meals we had a delicious peanut butter pie.

    Laid back vibe 😌 Surf paddleboard fish eat pizza here 😋 repeat great local vibe

  • April 11, 2026

    Holy crap… I think I just had the worst pizza takeout ever. I live two blocks away from them and it would be so cool to go to a neighborhood place regularly, but I just can’t here. I’ve tried too many times and don’t want to feel gross for spending money here anymore. This cheese pizza is burnt beyond burnt. Had a meat lovers burnt too. Crust was blackened and harder than a crouton. I would have liked to return them but by then it was too close to closing. 50 bucks for burnt:(

    So far I've had an Italian hoagie, a French dip (twice), and a corned beef Reuben. Each one has been excellent. The portions are plenty. I plan on going back to try many more items off their extensive menu. A bit pricey, but I am happy with the quality, quantity, and taste.

  • March 24, 2026

    Food was quick and fresh. Fish and chips was delish. Atmosphere feels like going to family. I was pleasantly surprised

  • March 24, 2026

    Traditional beach town vibe... Great food. The Mahi sandwiche is the best i have ever had.... great place to stop after a day at the beach... not something I would go to if I was going on a date... will definitely be back. Food was phenomenal

  • March 21, 2026

    Very polite staff. Asked me if I wanted to sample the local brew before making my choice. Prices were reasonable and the food was a plenty.

  • March 18, 2026

    Taste of coke was different but all other things was great

  • March 13, 2026

    I got the bonzai burger which comes with teriyaki and sauteed pineapple. Pineapple was there but I didn't taste any teriyaki. The burger itself was cooked good. Gave it 4 stars because I didn't taste the teriyaki

  • March 5, 2026

    The shrimp in the shrimp basket is fantastic! Large, butterflied pieces served with crinkle fries and a great cocktail sauce that has the right balance of horseradish. If you like shrimp, you should seriously consider trying it.

  • February 25, 2026

    When I get a sub I want my veggies on top of my meat not my veggies under the meat .... Every sub shop I go to they put veggies on last ....smh you need to start putting the veggies on last.. it tastes way better that way
