Best WLM Reviews

Great atmosphere being right on the beach! You can choose either indoor or outdoor seating. This place can seat a ton of people. So even though there were a lot of people there, the wait to get seated was only 10 mins.
The food is good with typical seafood options. The service was also really good. Quick visit to take drink order and food came out fast.
But let's face it, the real reason to come here is to be right near the beach with great views of the water!
By far the best hand dipped Onion Rings in Florida. They are #1 on the top 10 list!!! I also had the Boom Boom Shrimp Wrap which was super delicious with lots of shrimp. The sauce was subtle and overall not too spicy. I love Sharky's, #1 in Florida for Rings. Jeff S North Port Florida.
My friends and I decided to visit Sharky's for a late lunch/early dinner and it was an absolutely delightful experience! We didn't have a reservation, but the wait was quite reasonable - we were seated within 30 minutes despite the place being quite busy.
The menu selection was impressive and everything we ordered was delicious. We all shared calamari, onion rings, and a unique dish of shrimp on top of nachos, which was a hit amongst us. We also enjoyed the classic fish and chips and the ahi tuna, both of which were cooked to perfection.
The service at Sharky's was commendable; our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. But what truly sets this place apart is its ambiance – the restaurant is located right on the beach near the pier, offering breathtaking views that enhanced our dining experience significantly.
Overall, our visit to Sharky's was wonderful. I would definitely go again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food with a view. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Sharky's is a must-visit for an unforgettable meal by the gulf.
Was it our first time in Venice, and we drove to try this restaurant at the beach.
They have tables upstairs, but we decided to eat downstairs. We loved the food and atmosphere and this beach is beautiful.
I ordered fish and chips, and I loved the fried calamari, one of the best.
Fresh and delicious food
Loved this place for an outdoor dining experience with a view. Right on the beach! Reasonable prices with good food and delicious drinks. Beach was beautiful and loved walking the Venice pier, seeing wildlife and the all the people fishing was fun to watch. So worth the trip!!
Enjoyed lunch here while in the area visiting a friend and had a great meal.
The wait wasn't terribly long and once we were seated, our spicy bloody Mary and Virgin colada were on point. The bread was a nice treat and a nice change from typical chips and salsa at other dining venues.
I ordered the tofu rice bowl with grilled tofu. Very good portion. A little more seasoning on the tofu would really dress the dish well.
Overall, everything was great. And honestly, how can you go wrong when you're on the coast! Beautiful day, great food and amazing views!
Went looking for fresh seafood and managed to catch a beautiful sunset all in the same visit. Staff super friendly, food tasty and very filling. Try the bread pudding while you are there, it is amazing!
Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Food and service were excellent! We watched the sunset while we ate dinner. It was a perfect evening! One in our party is gluten free and she found delicious options on the menu. So glad we chose to dine here!
