i most definitely wouldn't recommend this place. drove all the way from sacramento. 1. the prices they charge and the prices plastered on their menu don't match. 2. the food is not appetizing i had the spaghetti it was dry with burnt areas i just stop eating it. 3. the peach cobbler is just nasty if they didn't say it was peach cobbler i wouldn't of guessed it 4. their cakes are just gross we tried 2 different ones and it gave a off dry taste to them. i don't know how long they sit the show case but it doesn't taste new or fresh. 5. it took forever to get our food i get it made to the order but for it to be dry like it was the service could of stopped cooking it earlier. read more

I had a decent experience at Sharkey's, but the meal was a bit of a mixed bag. Starting with the positives, the chicken wings were well-prepared and very flavorful, and the catfish was also quite good and well flavored. Both proteins were definitely the highlight of the meal. However, the sides left something to be desired. The red beans and rice, the rice was unfortunately undercooked, which made the texture a bit tough. Additionally, while some might enjoy a sweeter side, the cornbread tasted more like a cake than traditional cornbread. It's a solid spot if you're looking for good mains, but the consistency of the sides could use some improvement. read more

This restaurant is more fast food than dine-in and they package to-go orders perfectly. Our fried chicken and fries was packaged so the chicken wouldn't get soggy during our drive home. We had fried chicken, fried catfish, red beans and rice and fries. The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. The gentleman who took our order was very courteous, and knowledgeable of the menu. The wait time was about 20 minutes BUT our food was fresh and smoking hot. read more

Definitely intended to be a take out style restaurant. The shrimp po-boy was really good, we also ordered the catfish and alligator bites. The food was flavorful, I just feel like we needed some sort of sauce to go with the orders. The service was fair for the limited interactions for take out. read more

I ordered through the app. That was nice and easy. When we arrived, it was easy to go inside and pick up my order. I ordered the Jumbo Fried Shrimp with a side of cheesy grits. I dropped the order off for a friend. She offered a taste of each. Oh my! The grits were creamy, cheesy and buttery goodness! The shrimp was crunchy and well seasoned. I had a party in my mouth with such deliciousness! Sharky's does it again. I will return again soon to get my own :) Thank you! read more

Giving a 4 star but some areas 5 - Service was order at counter, they brought food to us (we dined in) and was an easy experience. Ambiance is of a fast food style spot, seating about 5 tables similar to a cafe. They do have what look like homemade baked goods, which I did not try but they did look reallly good. Food - chicken flavor was not my favorite, it was good but not great. I swapped some chicken with my friend who ordered the cod fish and chips and that fish was amazing. The batter was spicy and light and delicious, wish the same flavor was on the chicken. Fries were decent, I got garlic fries and the cost to upgrade was a bit more than I thought it would be, but reasonable. They were a good flavor but the garlic sauce caused the fries not to be as crunchy/crisp as they could be. Portion size is good, very filling food. Only ate 1 fish, and 2 pieces of chicken (all my fries) and was full. Drink selection ok, but I'm an unsweetened ice tea guy and they didn't have any today (also hoped they'd have a special ice tea based on their menu but they didn't). Service and ambiance a 4 star, food was 4-5, definitely recommend the fish. read more

First timer here! Before even trying the food, I would come back because the service alone is AMAZING. We (husband and I ) ordered via the AI. No issues. When I stepped in to get the goods, I saw the menu and decided to get more. Catfish, wings. cakes, and side galore. I believe it was the owner, Very kind and welcoming. It's a nice little spot. Not too loud and lots of customers coming in and out. We tore it up when we got home. Everything was delicious!!! read more

I had been following Sharky's on instagram for a while and finally got to try it. Sharky's did not disappoint. Everything was perfectly crispy, but super moist. The chicken in the po boy was so delicious and all the sauces that they put combined so well with the chicken and other ingredients that they put inside. The calamari was perfectly cooked along with the whiting fish fillets. The decoration in the restaurant was super fun and the staff have been friendly each time. The food comes out pretty fast considering they are doing everything from scratch. Oooh and the fries are bomb too!! You definitely have got to try Sharky's out if you have a fish fry craving. read more

The staff were nice and the order came out fast! Sal remedied a small problem in a big way. I dined on combination snapper and prawns with red beans and rice. The most flavorful item was the prawns but they were practically burned. The beans and rice weren't bad I just prefer more rice than beans. The fish was fried perfectly! Unfortunately it had no flavor. I added vinegar, hot sauce, and tarter sauce to no avail. The tarter sauce didn't have much flavor either. There was plenty of food though. Seasoning the fish more and frying the prawns less would make me give them another try. The location is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. read more

The trio po boy has been the best thing to order, it is amazing!!! The Mac and cheese bites were great too and the garlic fries are full of flavor. The shrimp scampi was alright it was a little too much I don't think I'd order that again but everything else yes!!! Go order yourself that trio po boy. It's very calm inside but we like to order pick up but the restaurant is very clean. read more

Been eyeing Sharkys for a while. First time here and it was legit. Let me start with the bad... the greens could have used a bit more flavor. Basically tasted like beef broth, greens and salt. I was hoping for a little more. The cat... mmmm... maybe call it a 3pc kitten meal. There's a spot in EPA Jonathan's Fish and chips who's 2pc gave me more than the 3pc here. I like the batter style a little better than cornmeal but kinda miss the nostalgia of it all. But the winner of the show was def the fries... gahdammit... those are probably the best fries in Solano County... solid AF. Definitely coming back and better than some of the other cat options here. Keep it up y'all!!! read more

Chicken was either raw or over fried. For the fact of ordering and spending $120 on this for the fam. It's a real disappointment. read more

Hate to do this but I have to be 100! Ordered the Whiting and it was thicker than catfish and did not have the normal flavor of whiting? Ordered the Okra and it was on hit as it's crispy and not greasy! Wish the owner was here as he would have corrected the fish and made it right! Sodas were $4 each??? Went next door and spent $1.04 each. Days eating out is limited. Very disappointed in the fish today! read more

Was greeted right away when walking in. Clean spacious place with ample seating. Lots of regulars coming in and out.

Sharkys Chicken & Fish - Spicy Honey and Louisiana Hot Wings with a side of Mac n Cheese - Seafood Near Me - Vacaville, California

This was a good lunch with filling portions--3.5 rating. We decided to try this place out for a pitstop lunch. The restaurant was clean with sea-themed decor & a big ocean mural. There was also a tv playing The Amazing World of Gumball. We ordered at the counter, but had some questions. While the man who we placed our order with tried to be helpful, he had to ask the other worker there for answers. We seated ourselves. It's a spacious place & there were no other diners there. Still, it took a long time to get our food--around 25 minutes. Once it came out, the food looked good & well put together. The 3-piece order of Red Snapper came with fries & a piece of white bread. It was ok, but it was thin & had some dry, overcooked bites. The Catfish Po'boy was huge! The fish itself was thick & moist, the vegetation (lettuce, tomatoes, & pickles) was fresh, & the bread was substantial, but soft. The sauces on the fish added a lot of flavor. Hush Puppies were tasty & had good texture, but were salty. Cold squeeze bottles of Tartar Sauce with lots of pickle & very tasty Ranch were provided. Malt vinegar & Crystal hot sauce were on the table. The staffer checked in on us & told us to let him know if we needed anything else. read more

Honestly, foods don't taste bad. Maybe wrong time/Valentine's Day . It's the quality for me. Hopefully my pictures match my review. Shrimp batter not as crispy as I prefer. Snapper dry. I get it the fine cornmeal batter isn't my favorite... so I don't get that crunchy bite. Tater sauce looks like thousand Island dressing but tastes pretty good actually. Lots to choose from on the menu but fish, shrimp and coleslaw is my go to. I'll try when I think it's the fresh catch of snapper for the day. read more

The service was nice and friendly and the menu options big, but the food itself fell a little flat for us. Don't get me wrong, the food was fresh for sure but just a bit too overdone. 10 piece chicken wings - these are whole chicken wings you guys! They serve this in a small foil tray over a bed of fries. This alone will feed a family of 4 for about $25isshhh bucks, not a bad deal at all! I will say I think I like the seasoning on the chicken at JJs a bit more, IYKYK, but I would still come back for the chicken here. The fries here are the good ones, super crispy. I just wish they had other dipping options like ranch or honey mustard to pair with them. They do give you a good amount of hot sauce and ketchup if you want it (yes I want it). The ketchup is just a basic packet kind, not Heinz, but it'll do. Half order catfish nuggets - these also come with fries! The serving size for the nuggets was a little small, but the real issue was they were just so dry. I love a good catfish nugget but I like them thicker and meatier, so they don't get dried out in the fryer. I'll probably give the fish plate a try in the future instead of the nuggets. The tartar sauce they provide is really good though, and tastes home made. I love how chunky it is! With a little hot sauce mixed in, you got a bomb lil dip. Hushpuppies- flavor was good and I liked them with the tartar sauce but again, just fried too hard. I prefer a fluffier, less dense pup myself. & because you can't have dinner without dessert, we chose 3 slices of cake to try. These are not home made cakes, all the local spots get theirs from Marita's Pies. Typically, this isn't an issue, but all the cakes we got were SOOOOOO dry. This was really disappointing considering they're $6 a slice :( Normally we love the yellow cake with chocolate frosting, caramel cake (my fav), and double chocolate but the cake part of each of these were no bueno. This is our first time picking these cakes up here, so not sure if they were old or the bakery itself has just gone downhill but I'll be hesitant to get these again in the future. TLDR; yes I will be back. Everything is fried so don't come expecting a light meal. Employees are nice. Does take 20+ min for your order as it's fried fresh, so call ahead. read more

Today is March 21, 2026. My Sister and I were in Vacaville today and hungry so we decided to try Sharky's Fish and Chicken.. So very glad we did!!! We were graciously served the most delicious fish, fries, macaroni salad, and hush puppies! The fish was perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. Our food was served hot. The fries were crispy and delicious! The hush puppies were fabulous and the macaroni salad was great as well. Sal served us with a smile, greeted us so warmly and definitely service was top-notch. It is not what you would call a typical restaurant setting but the place is neat and tidy and very welcoming. I recommend this business highly. I will be going back and I hope Sal is working on that day. He made our dining experience all the better! read more

We have gotten some of the best fish and chips while in sacramento. They have such a huge variety here. We ordered the catfish nuggets, the oysters, the breaded cod, fries, fried zucchini, red beans and rice, candied sweet potato, and of course fried chicken wings. We figured that was a good variety to start with. The oysters we super yummy, as was the fried chicken wings and the catfish nuggets. I love that this place didn't use the same breading on everything. It was such a nice variety. The red beans and rice had some heat to it, my husband loved it, but my parents don't like spicy. I didn't see clam strips on the menu, but those are one of my faves I would have liked to have seen. They did have alligator and frog legs on their specials. Place is a little pricey compared to some other fish places, but quality is good, place is clean, and serve/cook was very nice. read more

There's a reason Sharky's has been voted best soul food in town. I ordered the catfish nuggets plate with a side of potato salad. The food came hot and fresh, and the potato salad was off the hook! My coworker ordered a plate of their frog legs. He said they were "seasoned perfectly" and almost too hot to eat! If you're a fan of thriving black owned businesses, hit up Sharky's! read more

Giving a 3.5...ordered 2 piece Alaskan cod, comes with fries (which were alittle salty seasoned for my taste), side zucchini (fried crisp perfection), & coleslaw (was mayo heavy for my liking).

Had a really great experience here. We've placed a few quick takeout orders before, usually just the chicken wings but for my husband's birthday, I put in a larger order earlier this week. We ordered wings, catfish, shrimp, and several sides (mac and cheese, greens, yams, and red beans and rice), and everything was fresh and delicious. The food was well seasoned without being overly salty, and my husband and his family were especially impressed with the catfish. The service was great as well, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Overall, we were very happy with the experience, and it made catering a casual birthday dinner incredibly easy. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

I placed my order online for pickup. Their estimated time was very accurate. When I picked up they politely asked for a few minutes to finish preparing. While I was en route they called and informed me they were out of hush puppies so I change it to cheese sticks. I ordered the Shrimp and fried! AMAZING! Great size shrimp and the batter on both the shrimp and fries is super good! Cheese sticks has some seasoning on it that really made the flavor come out! Happy with my first visit. Restaurant is clean and employee was very nice, polite! See you soon! read more

I was very excited to try this place because I was craving fish and chips. But it was very expensive. The portions were very small. They wouldn't let me substitute my sides for hush puppies. And they were the same price. I was very disappointed. And I don't think it was an off day for them. It was just not good! read more

I said I'll be back, didn't know it would be less than 24 hours!! Today while driving, I was thinking of what I would have for lunch/dinner. Looking at the menu for Sharky's online, I decided to try something new. I called in my order for Garlic Noodles and an order of Fried Shrimp. The Garlic Noodles were delicious, which was expected given that everything I've tried so far has been incredible. Buttery, with the perfect balance of garlic to compliment the noodles makes this one of my new favorite dishes. The Fried Shrimp is another favorite, fried perfectly and seasoned well. The tartar sauce they provided was exactly what the doctor ordered to take the shrimp over the top. The Sweet Potato Cake was the perfect ending to a delicious dinner! My new go-to place and I'm trying everything on the menu! read more

Wow. The wait felt like forever. Came here on a Thursday night around 9:15 pm. Ordered catfish and rice and beans . Alligator poboy. It is now 10:04 but we have not gotten our food yet. In the meantime , we got the corn bread which was super dry. And the sweet potato pie which was ok , a little too much flavor. The restroom is very clean. Parking is a breeze. I would come back but the wait is too long and is not worth it. Maybe the key is to order ahead because the food is not bad. read more

On the road again and decided we needed fried chicken! Did a search and came up with Sharky's... Ok let's give it a try! First - Basic but VERY clean eat-in area. Next - the people were VERY friendly (all smiling and happy) making it a pleasant first impression. Finally - THE FOOD!! We ordered the 2 wing/leg/thigh with fries and as my son said between bites "This is what fried chicken is supposed to be like!". Light and flavorful BUT not heavy coating (nice)... SUPER juicy and hot (made fresh)... hot sauce that is a perfect pairing with the salty bite of the chicken. JUST AMAZING! The only negative is now we have to wait a little bit for our next road trip so we can come back to try the fish!!! Hmmm.... maybe we'll just need to plan a road trip to SHARKY'S CHICKEN & FISH. Worth it! read more

Was here around 5:30pm today. Tables was all empty. The person at the counter who took our order was nice he repeated double checked our order - 3 piece tilapia fillet with rice and 3 piece catfish with rice for to go. We waited for 20 minutes. We got home and opened the food containers. They forgot the rice! And the tilapia fillet was salty! read more

My husband & I came here on Wed for an early dinner around 4:30pm. The place was empty when we arrived. You place your order at the register then sit where ever you want. The very nice guy named Sal took our order. I was quite surprised to see that they serve both Alligator and Frogs Legs they get frozen from Louisiana. I got a Catfish Po'boy sandwich $15, and my husband got a Shrimp Po'boy sandwich $16. We also ordered a side of Red Beans/Rice $8 and an order of Fries $8 The food took about 15-20 mins since it's made fresh. The Po'boys were both HUGE, HOT, and yummy, but there was way too much mayo which made it very messy, and hard to eat. Thank goodness they have napkin dispensers at the table. The French Fries were crispy, hot and delicious. The Red Beans/Rice came out piping hot in a resealable plastic container but I'm not a fan of hot food being served in plastic. I asked the girl that brought us our food for some Ranch dressing for the fries, and she brought out a plastic squeeze bottle of Ranch and Tartar sauce. I thought was rather odd since she could have just put some in a small container or on a plate. It seems a bit unsanitary, as well as dangerous to give customers food replated items that the restaurant uses. The Ranch dressing was homemade, but not like any I'd tasted before. I didn't care for it much, but the Tartar sauce was good. The dining area and bathroom was fairly clean. read more

Here is my two cents on the quantity quality and price of this restaurant. it was delivered in a very timely manner by GrubHub.. The only issue is that GrubHub ask for some type of code and this is the second time from Grubhub and I never received it on my cell phone on my iPad . I ordered two pieces of catfish fillet fried and the order of peach cobbler . I must say I was absolutely flabbergasted as to the size of the order that I received. I got two large pieces of catfish fillet along with a nice large order of french fries . I was located in Fairfield and it was delivered from Vacaville. Both pieces were cooked to a perfect golden brown and were absolutely delicious . I was also surprised as to how much french fries I received.. The catfish fillets were absolutely delicious and almost too much for one meal . It was even better than what I received. When I was located in Sacramento would actually be worth the drive down from Sacramento to Vacaville to experience the food at this location. I definitely will be ordering from this location again .... The only minor disappointment was the peach cobbler.. For the price, I thought it was a little bit expensive and I thought there was just a little bit too much cinnamon in the cobbler itself . But that's I guess is a personal preference but overall it was delicious.. Again, I highly recommend trying this restaurant out . read more
