I have currently been waiting 45 min for chicken wings and I’ve watched the cook as well as the lady at the counter(who said I only work here to take the orders) leave the store. Cook came back and said he was shopping next door. It’s sad because the wings were not even fried fresh which is whats advertised. I also ordered fish which was made in about 7 min but I was expected to just take it cold and hard because the cook felt the need to “get fresh next door.” When will we do better for the people who patronize in the neighborhood that keeps your lights on, rent paid ,and salaries paid for the bad / rude customer service we receive. This is not the first time. I gave this a pass 3 times prior thinking it was just those staff members. So obviously when you say you are working to fix these issues the evidence ,based on this experience and others prior is lacking. There are never any managers or owners here. You put these businesses in our neighborhood receive profits but put forth no effort in running the business properly or putting back into the neighborhoods which help you feed your families. The workers don’t care because the owners must not. They would be here or put the right people in place to ensure these issues would have been fixed like the response I read to another review. But when your only in it for the money and we the people continue to except this lack luster behavior and treatment this is the continued result. Imagine how much more you could make with quality workers who cared about the business as much as the owners should. From one business owner to another and I manage and consult for multiple franchises around the city. YOU MUST DO BETTER!

Okay I give it five stars and the reason why I give it five stars is that it was open on Christmas and the worker and the cook we're doing overtime to please the customer what I mean by that is I'm kind of picky and so I ordered the Italian beef I got fresh onions and green peppers But Here I Go can I please get some juice on the side to go yes I got it which is unusual because that's just how it is it's unusual it Chicago but this place aim to please and I was grateful it's located on 87th and Vincennes in the little Mall can't miss it it does have parking but it's a very small parking lot is basically a order to go place it's not a family sit-down it's not a place for children it's a order to go but food and customer service means a lot to me that's my review

  • Dante Leavell

Came all the way from East of IN to get some food from my hometown but soon as I walk in the girl at the counter slumped with her hand propping her head up, looking at me with a stale face like I wasn’t supposed to be walking in after I said “hey, how you doing?” before placing my order.. so I simply just turned around and walked out because why would hire somebody with that kind of attitude? Why would you get a job at a place you don’t like being at? And you wonder why Harold’s down the block always packed because they show they appreciate their customers even when it’s busy, but that wasn’t even the case bc it was only 2 other girls waiting together when I came in smh depressing business atmosphere.

  • kenosha Thurman

I called in an order for a small catfish steak. Picked up the order and went to my destination. I took one bite of a piece of fish and it had a very odd taste to it. I broke a piece of another one and it was very tough. I also ordered jalapeños. I took the order back and told the cashier the problem and I was able to order something else. I ordered a jumbo shrimp. Went back to my destination and when I went to eat my jalapeño, one of them was split and gutted out. I’m so disappointed and would not be going back. Also, the cashier seemed like she had an attitude!

I got some fish perch last night and it was raw so you know what the owner said. I should have brought it back. I think if they continue this type of services I will not eat there again. It wasted my time then they was closed when I wanted to eat my food and discovered it was raw. Help me I think it is not fair. I will go back again and ask if they will refund my money or something. If not I am a retired veteran and I will go up there a protest this type of behavior.

  • Maranda Wills

I have been eating from this sharks for years and tonight I’m not satisfied! I ordered 6 wings Fried hard with lemon pepper and hot sauce and a pizza puff. The chicken were not fried hard and were red on the inside & the pizza puff were soft as if it wasn’t done. I called and the lady who answered called for the supervisor Jessie and he never came to the phone and she took my number down saying he was gone call me back and he didn’t.

  • Tyrus Thomas

I asked for no hard fry! I got that hard mess! If I wanted it hard I'd asked for it hard. Simple, drop it in that hot nasty grease,, 5 minutes! It's done! Real simple. But no Mr, fry fish til it's hard enough to break your teeth. The cashier, was very nice tho!

Decent restaurant for a quick bite to eat...You can call in your order and it will be fresh, hot and ready when you get there. They take co-vid precautions seriously and will not serve you without a mask... You cannot eat in the restaurant at this time. You can order to pickup or delivery... Excellent customer service.... Definitely will return...

  • Lady Lovess

UPDATE: Left this three weeks ago with 3 stars in August "I don't think the original cook is cooking consistently anymore. It's good now, but NOT excellent like it was over the last two years. Younger generation is more on the scene these days." UPDATE as of 9/15/21 - whoever was in the kitchen today came very close to the original cook - PLEASE KEEP THEM!

  • Dorsie Tullock (Heaviduticutie_47)

Depends on which Shark's you go to, I love chicken. Wings in particular, Food is always great it remind me of J & J's Chicken. I don't buy Fish that much but what I do it's always Perch, love it, to be honest Fast Food nowadays is nothing like it use to be I very seldom eat out I love to cook, you can't go wrong when you cook for yourself.

  • Chertl Robinson

My fiance and I love chicken we can eat it almost everyday, and we buy chicken from sharks at least four five times angry they also have great Italian beefs fish are you seeing job losses in the industry and a host of other things Black Desert you can also dine in at my fiance one of the best places we'd like to eat.

  • JESUSfreak

Ordered thru grubhub. They didn't give me correct order. Grubhub only delivers. Its sharks responsibility to get the orders right. Tried calling Sharks about order phone must be off hook bcuz I got a busy signal for over an hour. I want a refund!!!

  • Alahrie Aziz

Food is consistently good - our favorites are shrimp and catfish filets. The lemon pepper chicken is good, too. They have a cheap brand of fries, so they are always soggy...so if fries are your thing, you might not be happy. Good customer service.

  • Cathy Pitts

It was very delicious. My fish was cooked hard but that how I like it. My guest had chicken he said it was good but a little to hard for him. The fries was the same as every other place no difference I recommend the Perch is good

  • Alicia Walker

Very ghetto don’t cook the food the way you want when you order over the phone I ordered 20 wings over the phone and not even 5 minutes later they called me telling me my food was done..How? Then the cook is disrespectful

  • Naronci “Ronci” W

Slowest place ever. The lady on the phone had a rude demeanor. I called and placed my order in which she told me it would be ready in 10 mins, got there 10 mins later and it's now been 15mins. Still waiting here

  • Marcôs Campaña

Raee and Baby J hooked me right up. They Lemmon pepper ratio is on point and the food is always fresh out of the grease. I love that I live so close and that they stay open late. I highly recommend them

  • Carlon Dotson

Not enough for the money. Spent about $16.00 got about 16 med sized shrimp an 2 packs of crackers. Got the large bomb Bag. It wasn't that large. Tastes good though, just not enough for the money.

  • Jasmine Gardner

Worst food I've ever had. The wait was only 10 minutes, which was not bad. But, I expected my food to be fresh, it was not. It was not appealing at all! Nor was it tasty. I ordered perch & wing.

  • Amanda Moore

This restaurant made my food really well! I ordered a Combo Catfish, wings and shrimp and it was golden fried so good and taste great! Thanks a lot guys I will be returning soon.

The fish/ chicken combo was great. Late night before closing all they were cooking was fish or chicken, and that's what I ordered, and I would do it again!!
