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.

BUILD-UR-OWN NACHOS- 9-
Annie B.

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.

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.

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

Boy should I have looked at Yelp before coming here. This place is terrible. Here's why - the "homemade" salsa is pace picante, the queso comes out of a can like you get at a baseball game, the chips clearly came from a bag. That was just the starters. The Skinny Margarita had so much triple sec in it a kid could drink it and not know there was tequila in there. For our dinners, I had a chimichanga. It was pedestrian at best. I asked for hot salsa and I got three packets of Cholula. Don't get me wrong, I love Cholula, but shouldn't a Mexican restaurant that advertises their "homemade" salsa possibly try their hand at making hotter salsa?!?!? The funny thing was that my girlfriend ordered the fish tacos. Now please remember, we are in Martha's Vineyard. This whole Cape Cod area has unreal seafood so why would they use Gordon's Fish sticks??? Yup. Perfectly formed Gordon's Fish Sticks. At the end of the day I paid $104 dollars for the single worst Mexican Food experience I've ever had. Moral of the story is to read Yelp first. Ugh.

i heard a lot of hype, but unfortunately, was a little disappointed. full disclosure: we came during the "off season", but life out here appears to go on as usual, so we hoped it would be as great as everyone says. we stopped by for drinks and apps on a cold day to escape the rain and the place was pretty full for december, which was great. drinks are just standard pub drinks. nothing fancy or special. sticky glasses, the usual. i would definitely choose to go with beer next time instead of a scorpion bowl (what was i thinking) as it was just an underwhelming amount of alcohol with way too much juice. beer and a shot of whiskey would have been perfect. the food was where they really lost me - the menu boasts "house made pico de gallo" and "fresh guacamole", but based on taste and appearance alone, i would be willing to bet this was tostitos jar salsa, some sort of prepackaged guac (we think maybe sabra or holy guacamole) and the biggest offense of all? the ball park cheese they called "queso". listen, i am a reasonable woman. i give restaurants a lot of leeway before i criticize because i worked in food service for 15 years and i get it. i just don't think you should offer things you cannot execute the way you have advertised. my friends had nachos and enjoyed them - perhaps the grocery-store bought toppings were more enjoyable in that setting. i will give sharky's another try next time i am in the area - i am holding out hope that the hype is real!

Black Cherry Mojito YUM
Grace K.

A friend recommended I go here for a fun bar atmosphere in MV. I went during the day during Covid times so I don't think they were totally the same vibe because I hear it got crazy at night! Nonetheless, it was a cool place to set a few drinks with my friends. I LOVED the black cherry mojito.

Literally the worst place I've ever been & I live in NYC. Horrible "frozen margaritas". Terrible service. I can't even imagine the food!

This Mexican food is about as good as you're going to get on this island. It's not authentic in any way and the food tastes OK at best.

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

Was visiting the vineyard and I was looking for a local spot that was not overrun with tourists and…read morelong lines. 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 Shuck Shack is a perfect place to sit, drink beer and watch the world go by. It's located right…read moreon Oak Bluff Harbor. The beer list is tremendous. And the raw bar is marvelous. 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.
