We ventured over to this area of Danville to stop in the Goodwill and found Sharks Grill in the same parking lot. We were honestly pleasantly surprised! The restaurant itself isn't anything fancy and could be cleaner, but the food was great! And affordable too! We were most excited about the green tomatoes and they did not disappoint. My sausage was really good, cooked perfectly and juicy. My husband had buffalo tenders and fries and was satisfied. The woman at the counter was juggling a lot but was still calm and polite when taking our order. We would stop in again - especially because the menu had so many different things to try! read more

used to love this place! But NOT any more. Got a two piece catfish dinner and 10 piece fried oyster, every thing so over cooked it was burnt! We could not even eat the catfish because it had so much salt on it that you just spit it back out !! read more

We just moved back from NC and have had chicken at 3 places and this was, BY FAR, the best. Tender and juicy chicken and it was a nice size portion. The cashier was friendly and the cook was as well. The little shop is simple and the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend. read more

Food was not so good. I got the 3 piece walleye and it tasted flavorless and was very greasy. I think it was in the freezer way too long. Friendly enough people, but not a place I would go back to. read more

All around great place to eat. Excellent Cajun seasoning on lobster and crawfish . Fried okra was great. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

Food was just average. Guess we have been spoiled by the seafood on the coasts. Don't really care for the was service is provided, order at counter then it is bussed to the tables. Ambience in the restaurant just not appealing very dark and sparse without any thing to make the meal enjoyable. We can say we have been. But probably will not be back. It wasn't bad just nothing special to bring us back in. read more

Don't go by the exterior or neighborhood. This little restaurant has great seafood! DH got the 2-piece catfish dinner and I got the fried shrimp po'boy with fries. Fresh, fresh, fresh! You'll think you are sitting on the beach. Drinks are bottled, even water, but that wonderful fresh seafood will make up for that! read more

tHe best catfish I've ever had. When I revived my delivery order I was originally disappointed there was no tater sauce but it did not need it! The portion size is large for the price you pay. I couldn't have been happier with my catfish! read more

I had the combo platter and my girl had the fried shrimp. Everything tasted awesome and was done properly. Also, the chicken wings are definitely the best in town. Very big and juicy. I've eaten here before and always had a great experience. read more

Stopped for lunch. Had the shrimp sandwich, fried & root beer. Everyone was extremely friendly. Food was cooked to order. I was working at the VA medical Center & no one knew about this place. Brought back menus. The restaurant is located outside of a deserted mall. Worth the trip. read more

The service was quick and responsive. I had the wings with mild sauce and they were phenomenal. Unlike anything I have had in a long long time. I also had the shrimp po' boy which was also good. Not really a sit down to eat restaurant, but definitely a must stop. Especially if your just on the road and happen to be looking for a place to grab a quick bite (like I was). Place was so good I had to leave a review. read more

The catfish is good. service is fast it . the breading is great on the catfish. Clean and nice staff I would come back for seafood its the thing here. They also have gyros and sandwiches read more

Sharks Grill - Wall - Seafood Near Me - Danville, Illinois

The food is great. My family and I always love the wings from there compared to Wingstop or Buffalo Wild Wings. However, the service is not great for the couple times I've been to pick up food. I've seen a few arguments between staff right behind the counter. I've not had any negative encounters myself, but there should be more professional in front of customers. The place itself is dated and a big turn-off. I would not eat inside myself. It has great food, but that's really about it. read more

Shark's Grill is my single favorite restaurant in Danville. The head chef has quite the resume and it shows in the food. He is ALWAYS willing to customize orders and make off-menu accommodations. I really enjoyed the crawfish po'boy, gyro cheeseburger, gut buster (gyro/Italian beef sub), and meat lover fries. But the best part about this place is the seafood, most of which is brought in fresh several times a week from either Chicago or out of state. My personal favorite is the fried gator bites (chef will grill them instead if you ask). Some other delicious seafood options are the catfish salad, catfish nuggets, and boiled crawfish. Portion sizes are VERY generous. read more

This place is a real find. The wait staff are the owners and they are very friendly. The food was great! We were a party of eight and we ate a little of everything and it was all very good. I recommend the Gator bites. The shopping center it's located in is mostly empty but it's worth the trip. read more

Friendly folks at this little road trip find! Hubby got frog legs, 6 of them, and he could only eat 3 they were so large. He gave them 5 out of 5. I had the catfish and it was delicious! We also got the broccoli cheese bites. We could have just eaten those and been completely satisfied. They were so cheesy and yummy! Overall the atmosphere was family oriented and welcoming. That, combined with the food quality and variety, we give this little gem a 5 out of 5! read more

Great place, great staff. I love a place that greets you with a "hey, how you doing?" When you walk on the door. Small and comfy place with good prices. Really loves my po boy and that messy el macho. I'd gladly go back here. read more

Sharks Grill - El macho with chicken. AWESOME!!! - Seafood Near Me - Danville, Illinois

Very good food and service! Price's are great for the excellent quality of food they serve. This place is a hidden treasure!

We tried a little of everything. Alligator was some of the best I've had. Perch and Walleye were both good. It is a cornmeal breading on the fried fish. I love that the broilers also has broccoli so you get a vegetable. We got so much food for what we paid. We will be back. read more

Took my wife here for something different. The service was great, and we loved the whole setup. We love going to small mom and pop places, and this fits the bill! We had fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, broccoli cheese bits, and a gyro! The food was great, and the setting was so intimate. Love this feeling, and we will be back!! read more

We ate here for the first time tonight on a recommendation from a friend. So glad we tried it. It was a special night for my kid & he loves seafood but we're not huge fans of Red Lobster. I ordered the crab and lobster broiler and my kid ordered the shrimp and crab broiler. You get the choice between garlic butter or cajun seasoning OR if you just ask you can get both. The food was phenomenal, especially for being prepared in the midwest. The fresh portions were large with plenty of well seasoned vegetables. There was only one server working (Tues evenings are usually slow) and despite how busy she was, she was very prompt and friendly. The chef spoke with us after our meal, he was a very nice & funny guy who obviously had pride in what he was making. We will definitely be going back. read more

I had been looking for a restaurant that made shrimp po boys and saw it on the menu while picking up a DoorDash order. So so good, as were the fried green tomatoes I added to my order. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good food and friendly service read more

Okay it has happened Sharks like many small businesses has raised prices, also their online menu is no longer accurate. My wife loved their 2 pound lobster and crab combo dinner, on the menu it is 34.99 we ordered that and the bluegill dinner which on the menu is 12.99, my wife left an 18% tip. Not really paying attention to the bill, well until I checked our checking statement, the total was 157.74! Yep that's right 157.74!! Thinking it was a mistake and since we were going to order for our daughters birthday we decided to just ask when we placed her birthday order. Well here it is. The combo doesn't exist, and they now charge 34.99 a pound for lobster tails and 17.99 a pound for crab, so when we thought we were ordering a 2 pound dinner we were ordering 2 pound of lobster, 2 pounds of crab. Hence the huge bill. We swallowed hard, and decided to return to red lobster from now on. read more

Didn't like it I have a seafood allergy and I had let them know in the beginning of my order and they cross contaminate it when I ordered every since then wouldn't go back! read more

A hole in the wall place. Excellent seafood and the Gyro Platter is amazing!!! This place may look a bit run down but the owners are amazing and great hosts. read more

We were excited for a fish fry but found this restaurant disappointing. The fries were good but the oysters were cooked properly but of sub par quality. Our waitress was brusque. We were the only eat in diners on a Thursday evening. read more

My family and I loved our meals here. Located in a quiet area at the end of a vacant shopping mall. The food was amazing. Menu choices have something for everyone. We dined in and everyone there was very protective and aware of Covid precautions. They have take out also. 3 of us had two piece fried catfish meal. Excellent and the fries were also very crispy and tasty. Wonderful place with very friendly staff. Cook knows what he is doing. We found this place on yelp as we are traveling through to Michigan. You must try read more

This has to be one if the best independently owned restaurants in our area! Owner is amazing and very friendly with the best seafood around! You won't be disappointed at all, from sandwiches to salads to seafood, it's all on point!! read more

Very good shrimp and crab legs. Will go back in just a few days. Service was great. Nice to find d a little place like this.

On our way through Danville we were truly surprised to find a seafood restaurant in the middle of prairie country!My husband loves seafood, thus with a 4-Star review we decided to try it. It now will become our go to spot as we travel thru this area. The broiler dishes were done without any batter, very delicious. The fried fish, from blue gill, perch, walleye & cod was done with corn meal. Fish was very tasty, I would say just a bit less corn meal batter would have been nice. The fries were awesome! Service was great too. read more

Stop here. Best service, amazing shrimp and gyros! So much food for the prices! I asked if the shrimp was flour battered or cornmeal and the server told me that she would make sure it was done in cornmeal! A light smattering of cornmeal on some of the biggest, freshest shrimp I've seen since the east coast! So good! The gyro was huge for 5.99! If your coming through 74E to Indy or basically anywhere nearby, try it! read more

I can't glorify enough how much I love this place and the down to earth sweet attentive staff. The food is absolutely amazing. Cooked to perfection each and every time. The menu speaks for itself. Must try. read more

I can't say enough about this place! It's so good!! It's going to be our new family get together spot. I got the crab legs, my 3 year old got the "pizza puffs" and my aunt had the gist and shrimp (all pictured). They were all DELICIOUS! The only other place to get seafood is red lobster and this place is cheaper and wayyyy better. They give you a ton of food for what you pay. A little downside is if you have a lot of people you might be waiting for a bit for food but that's because he makes everything when you order it. And even then we didn't have to wait a super long time for how much he had to cook. It all came out hot and at the same time. Everything's fresh and not pre cooked and sitting under a heat lamp. The waitresses are super nice and informative. Btw that pizza puff I got for my 3 year old was amazing. We passed it around the table and everyone loved it. It's like a big pizza roll but the dough is like that light and flaky dough and then stuffed full of cheese and pizza toppings and sauce. It's was a surprise for sure. read more

With this being a local establishment I really wanted to like and enjoy it, but that did not happen. The two waitresses we're very very accommodating and friendly however the food was less than mediocre. When visiting the restroom which was filthy I am countered a cook smoking in the back. I even asked do you really have someone smoking in the kitchen and his reply was I don't smoke around where I make the food. read more
