    Extremely over priced for the portion size and the service was sub par . There are better places for dinner in the area.

    Oysters were pathetic, tiny and overpriced. Food just OK. Disappointing considering we had raved about past experiences there. 6 of us spent $400.

    We felt the waitstaff was rude and unwelcoming. Ordered a dirty martini for $16 and waitress said just use Tito’s. I think at $16 you would use better vodka. Salad was really good. Smash burger was so charred it was like a brick. Lobster roll was good. Great location and cool place but probably wouldn’t go back. Plus we needed a gluten free so we went here. But no sides

    I’ve been visiting the shark bar since it first opened. I was shocked to see at the new menu pricing. The food is great, but not worth the new price tag.

    Server was great. Food was good, but prices were inflated due to its location on Wrightsville Beach. Tad pricey for fish tacos that didn't stand out with anything special or even what is to be expected; tasty slaw, cilantro maybe? a spicy element, exceptional salsa or crema?

    The waiter / bartender Zack was great and had wonderful recommendations! Try the firecracker shrimp tacos. Fabulous! The vibe was pricey-casual, and the food was top notch.

    Shark’s is the cool/clean “dive bar” that isn’t a dive… it’s tiny & can get loud, but definitely great food & cocktails are on point! Service is fantastic & friendly, will go back
