I'll be honest, I used to cringe and raise my nose at any sort of "restaurant" or food from a gas…read morestation. I mean seriously who would ever buy say sushi from a gas station? That changed when I lived in Kansas City; a place called Oklahoma Joes (changed to Joes KS) BBQ operated out of a gas station. It's one of the best places in the nation for BBQ, so with that knowledge and hungry for a decent chicken sandwich, I considered the new Sharks inside the gas station which just went up less than a mile from my house. In short, WOW, I'm literally shocked! I googled "fast food chicken sandwiches" and none of the suggestions that came up appealed to me as they've always been horrible. So, I thought, let me see some yelp reviews on Sharks Burgers. After seeing consistently high marks on burgers, I decided to try both. Before I go on, please note Sharks is inside of the Valero gas station right off of 35 across the freeway from Costco. The place is extremely clean, in a safe part of town and the employees are very nice. On the website I decided to build my own chicken sandwich and I'll mention they didn't have an option to double up cheese so I put it in the notes and it was added! I added mayo, ketchup, Swiss x2, grilled onions and mushrooms, lettuce and tomatoes. The chicken was slightly thicker than I anticipated while being moist and not overcooked. I think they could have added a touch more onions and mushrooms otherwise it was great. Plus, it has juices oozing out that got the bun soggy and I had no issues with that. The major gripe I had with both sandwiches is they didn't core the tomato so I gnawed on a big chunk of core, yuck. I decided to munch on my fresh tots which were pipping hot while dipping them in their shark sauce. I didn't like the shark sauce as I hate buffalo sauce which was the dominate flavor. My final item was the blue cheese burger. The beef was cooked perfectly and as with the chicken sandwich the bun was perfect but there could have been thicker and more slices of avocado. Otherwise, it's a well-balanced little burger with the blue cheese adding the funk to set it aside. To quote Pulp Fiction, it was a tasty burger (fyi - please add a big kahuna burger to the menu as I would be a regular). Overall, I was shocked about how much better Sharks food is over competing fast food restaurants. The meat is thicker and juicier, they have more interesting combinations and they food was straight from the kitchen, not under some heat lamp. I'd rank them almost on par with the "gourmet" burger shops like (4+1 gentlemen) and (extremely excellent) burgers (I hope you can figure out the cryptic message). I'll be back soon to indulge in Sharks offerings and if you're like I was, on the fence; get off and give it a try, you won't regret it.

I had the tender basket with regular flavor since it was my first time. The chicken is soo much better than Canes. I also liked their sauce better.

She really enjoyed her food and normally nothing is hot enough for her. That is really impressive. The restaurant was clean and they have an outdoor area to sit at if you want. Very happy with my visit.

My son wanted a burger so he had that from the burger place and we got chicken for the rest of the family. My husband had Krispy Krunchy chicken when he visited Indiana and said it was good. We got a family meal which came with fries and corn bread. My daughter got Buffalo wings. It was really good! The chicken has a subtle kick to it and is seasoned pretty good. The fries were not steak fries as shown on their website but seasoned fries. They were still good. The corn bread was a little dark, but the staff showed my husband first and he said we wouldn't mind. The only thing that would have been better for me is if they would have given equal amounts of white and dark meat. It was mostly legs and thighs. Overall, this is going in our good chicken list for the family when I don't feel like cooking. It's a must try! Especially if you have family who want different meals in one night.

I know they have the zing packets, but I shouldn't have to rely on that for flavor. The mashed potatoes seemed watery and the gravy, which used to be one of my favorite things, is thick flour water with absolutely zero taste. What a let down. And the fries are crammed into the box and steam themselves into a soggy mess. This was probably my last time, unfortunately. At least the service was good.

How many places can you say that both main dish and sides are good? Also, for it to be reasonably priced? Ordered the 1/2 chicken plate. Comes with (1)breast, wing, thigh, and leg. Sides were beans and Cole slaw. Ordered a small order of Mac and cheese. Total was ~$26. Whenever my wife and I travel, we usually share plates so we have more room to try other things. 100% enough food for two people to hold you over for a solid meal with out making you take a nap. If you're hungry, that plate it self will absolutely keep you full for the 50% of the day. Staff has always been friendly. Service is generally quick but there can be a line depending upon when you arrive. Pro tip is to order to go if you have a nearby hotel or to door dash. If you eat inside, inside has plenty of tables and chairs. Cafeteria style more or less where you sit what's available. Plenty of staff to lend assistance. Generally people are chill

Oh, and it's less than $13. Like where can you do and get a 1/2lb burger that actually feels like a 1/2lb for that price. Here, that's where. The waitress was super sweet and attentive. They weren't busy which was shocking. The restaurant itself could use a little more ambiance. I know it's more of a sports bar, but it is cold feeling. Knowing if there's specials would help too. They do have several TVs and apparently they do karaoke on Saturday's. Excellent lunch, will be a top of the list spot from now on.

When I walked in I saw the Krispy Krunchy Chicken under a Taco Basket sign. I asked if this was Taqueria Coahuila and they said yes. They just took the space over so they've not had the chance to update signage. I also noticed the chicken restaurant was still a part of the place, which made my kid happy. I decided to order the fajita plate and my kid got the crispy chicken strips. The fajitas were delicious. Just the right amount of flavor add with the onions & peppers. Beans & rice were good. The guacamole was chunky w/ onion and delicious. My only negative was the tortillas were not fresh made. The kiddo really liked the chicken strips. Crunchy & juicy. Over-all... a nice surprise. And being so close, I'll likely be back often.
