The second visit I got the jerk chicken rice bowl, with a side of cowboys beans and combo platter that contain 2 pieces of fish, 4 wingettes, and 4 shrimps with fries. Lastly, an order of hush puppies. The food was delicious yet again the only little complaint I had was of the French fries need to be packages separate because the sweat from all the hot food made them soggy very quickly. Other than that I had no complaints. Very good customer and great food.

But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

Crispy Fried Goodness....that Hits the Spot!…read more This was the first time I trying this restaurant. I came here, starving after hanging out with some friends at the nearbyFish Market Bar. I must say I was a little hesitant due to the place being completely empty on a Friday night, but I was like .... I'll take one for the team because I was starving and needed something to stop up the libation. lol. To my surprise, the food was actually good--well, shall I say decent. Good as in average in taste, but was prepared fresh and made to order. Also, the restaurant was very clean, the portions were huge and priced well. I ordered triple platter that came with fried shrimp, fried wings, and fried Whiting with a side of fries. I also tried a triple combo platter that was served with chicken tenders, shrimp, and fried Whiting with a side of hush puppies. The food was fried well, not greasy and I could tell it was fresh.... Not preheated or precooked. One stand out for sure where the chicken tenders! They were my favorite of everything I tried. They were cooked to perfection!! Not to mention, tasted great! I would say both platters and the food could have used a bit more seasoning..... especially that fried whiting and fries. The fried whiting and fries were both bland for my taste. The fries need to be changed out or stepped up to "crinkled fries!".....love them things!! The fries served here are more "regular cut" type fries that left a lot to be desired. But, overall no disappointment here. Besides, better to be served food that's not overly salty-seasoned......because I like to doctor up my food at home. It's the best way to layer in flavor and control the overuse or amount of sodium places most establishments use around the DMV. This place also serve gyros, hamburgers, subs and steak & cheese sandwiches....of course fried seafood and other menu items....including desserts! There were tons of cakes to choose from with a Strawberry Hennessy Cake that definitely caught my eye and was calling me while o was there...but I resisted. lol. Also, one plus that's stood out about this place is that they offer lots of sides to compliment your dish such as seasoned fries, okra, mac n' cheese, collards, salads, and hush puppies to name a few. In all, not a bad visit or experience. The food was good as well as the price point. Despite being light on this seasoning tip, I had no complaints. The great customer service and cleanings of the restaurant makes up for it...imho. Not to mention, I felt more relieved seeing more people come into the restaurant to place and pick up orders as I was leaving. Better tasting fries, and a little seasoning on the fish..... would have easily tipped this place to 4 stars!...imho I would try Sharks Fish & Chicken again and recommend!

Shark's Fish, Chicken and Seafood…read more Well, this turned out to be an unfortunate decision on my part. My mom had a taste for fish with soul-food sides, and since we were in the Clinton, MD area, I opened the Google box and searched exactly that. Bingo... Shark's appeared. But after spending thirty-some dollars, I would've preferred if an actual shark had appeared. As always, I'll be fair and balanced. Starting with the customer service: it wasn't bad. The gentleman at the counter was polite, and there were no pushy upsells. The establishment is your standard strip-mall carryout. Aside from the bathrooms being out of order, there wasn't much else to report. Now, as for the food. I ordered fish, greens, "cajun rice" (or "dirty rice," depending on what they call it), and mac and cheese. From the first bite, I knew I had messed up. I dipped into the rice and thought, "Oh wow, did I order vinegar and rice?" Hesitant to let my mom try any of it, I insisted on sampling everything first. Glad, yet mad that I did. The fish carried the souls of every fish cooked before it. The greens were completely void of soul, yet somehow had a high concentration of soil. And the mac and cheese? Well, that dish would get you banned from the 'cookout'. If you know what I mean! Recommendation level: Go only if you plan to join me in a protest.
