I really want Sharkey's to be great...there is so much potential! I write this 3 star review honestly, knowing that there was a huge festival today with plans for another visit and a review update. I, like the first reviewer,had the crab cake sandwich. Here are my thoughts from dinner...good, bad and indifferent.
Woot for the Yelp deal--although not everyone knew what Yelp was...how can you not?!? Yay/Boo
Private party next door so we got to enjoy the live entertainment! Yay!
Dessert prices a little high...6 bucks...Boo!
Beautiful food presentation...very artistic with edible flowers...Yay!
Drink specials...got the $2 Yuengling...Yay!
Kids eat free on Sunday and Monday...Yay!
Abbreviated menu for the Taste of Gaston...Indifferent
Very friendly staff...it's a family owned restaurant and it shows...Yay!
The word is getting out about is place which is great...they should invest in smaller tables and chairs to maximize the dining space... Indifferent
I will say for the price of the appetizers, the portions left something to be desired. We ordered the onion rings which were six bucks but looked like 3 bucks. Didn't like the crab cake...decent flavor but could have been cooked a little longer for my taste.
Overall, a good step in the right direction for G-town! I'll check it out on a not so busy weekend next time. Recommend getting house chips as a side....Delish!!
