i come here every week all the way from Bridgeview with the same order, Catfish steaks and wings. They have NEVER disappointed me everything is fresh and the manager Emily is amazing. She’s always making me feel so comfortable and her smile always brightens my day! The morning cook is my favorite also, he always fries my food to perfection!

I don’t understand how all these negative reviews can say what they say but I come every other week and never have a problem. This is one of the cleanest sharks I’ve been too and their BBQ sauce is amazing! My favorite thing to get is the combo of catfish fillets, wings, and shrimp. Always fresh and cooked to perfection” 💕

First time coming to this Sharks location and I will definitely be back! I came at about 2:30pm on a Saturday and although they were extremely busy the cashier was patient with helping me understand the menu, she was by herself and still was handling it with ease no attitude. I ordered wings, jumbo shrimp, and catfish fillets which were all AMAZING!!! Although the fillets are swai they were still delicious 😋 some of these reviews are ridiculous complaints I even seen one of someone complaining with a picture of their chicken but ate every piece 😂
