This is a new establishment; it is very nice inside; it was worth the wait! The proprietors greeted me as soon as I came in and I didn't have to wait to order. I was impressed with the tv that showed how things were prepared; looked scrumptious! I got the catfish dinner for my parents and they too were pleased.

We went to get Mr Submarine sandwiches (it was also good!), but boy I was glad we got the catfish filet. It was sooo good- just the right amount of breading for each filet!—yummy!

I stopped in to order fries and the service was great. The fries were good but I wish they would’ve added more lemon pepper. I’ve also had their fried chicken on a separate occasion and would recommend them anytime.

Sharky's was very clean restaurant and the food was good the fish could have been fried a little harder and a couple more pieces for the price but the Spaghetti was pretty good with the cat fish steaks.
