    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.

    Chicken fajitas
    Katherine R.

    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.

    Nachos

    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.

    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.

    CHICKEN BACON RANCH QUESADILLA
    Kayla S.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Their hot sauce...hahahaha

    Service was good but no taste to their Taco meat. Almost like they forgot to add the seasoning. Good portions but again not taste.

    Not good. Sticky tables and subpar food. Worst meal we had during our two weeks on the Vineyard.

    Friendly staff, but drinks were weak and food was NOT Mexican. The shrimp and steak fajita was not seasoned well at all.

Thanks to yelp, I stumbled upon the shuck shack... easy to mix so check out the photos! This place has a true New England feel, with great views for people watching and beautiful scenery of the water and boats. The environment is very lively and they have a selection of raw and cooked seafood. I took a seat at the few stools at the bar, ordered a drink, clams, and shrimp. The shrimp were large and delicious! I also liked option to order half or full dozen. The clams, to my surprise, were shucked right in front of me.. great touch but word of advice.. don't make my mistake. There is a RAW section and COOKED section on menu and yes to my surprise, I accidentally ordered calms from the raw menu.. never knew raw clams were a thing ::cringe:: and after one try- definitely not a win for me. However! This place is a must, a true Vineyard experience with friendly servers and great views!!

The clams I had were steamed to perfection and the shrimp cocktail had huge shrimp in them. Their prices overall are very, very reasonable. But what makes it so special is the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and competent. The view is unbeatable considering you are 10 feet from the harbor and have a perfect spot to watch the boats coming and going. A great value for your money.

Our waitress was attentive and friendly, always making sure our waters were full and we could have refills if we wanted. My friends ordered the tacos and I felt "when in Rome" and had the fried seafood plate which had fish, scallops, shrimp, and fries for $35. While I liked the restaurant overall this was not worth $35. My meal had three scallops and 2 of them were smaller and a little mushy. Then were were 4 shrimp that weren't bad. The fish was on the smaller end and tougher than I thought it would be. I understand it's Martha's vineyard and things are more expensive there but this was steep for the quality. My friends liked their tacos as well- they just mentioned that having a third taco instead of just the two would have been nice. I would recommend Sandbar though for anyone who wants a fun environment. I'd even go back- but I'd make sure to try something else.
