Sharkie's

I had been meaning to try Sharkie’s for some time now, but parking in Woodstock has always intimidated me. This day was different. Having already played hooky in order to deepen my suntan, I was feeling daring. On top of that, I had pushed the limits of my complexion for hours without so much as a snack, so I was feeling terribly hungry. When I walked into the meatball shop, I was showered with smiles. I immediately felt at home (a lot of people actually think I’m Italian). I ordered my sandwich and then perused the pantry section while I waited. Wow! I don’t know who is in charge of curating Sharkie’s snack selection, but they are on the cutting edge of potato chip market research. I snagged a few bags, along with some freshly canned local beers. There was plenty of seating inside by the time my sandwich was ready, but it was such a beautiful day. Not only that, but I prefer not to eat indoors when I am sweaty (in part because I prefer that others do not, and I abide by the Golden Rule). I took my food to go and headed out onto the sunny street, but there were tourists on the one bench in sight. I kicked them off so that I could enjoy my birthright and my meatball sub while continuing my tan. Yum. As they say in Italian, “Manga!”

Delicious!! We have gotten food from here about five times now. The meatballs are amazing. My favorite thing to order is the open faced garlic bread sandwich with provolone and meatballs. The salad is really good too and has pickled onions and a tasty balsamic dressing. My family and I love this place. A must try if you are near Woodstock.

Great vibes, terrific service and undeniably some of the best (maybe even the best) meatballs I've ever had. If you don't have time to stop and eat, at least grab some frozen ones to go! You will not be disappointed.

vibe and servers were nice but unfortunately the same cannot be said about the food. flavorless, dry, strange textured meatballs that we wanted to love given the high praise in previous reviews. did not end up finishing our food after a few bites. can skip considering the many other good places in area

The open face garlic bread sandwich was awesome. I got the meatballs + eggplant 🍆 option and loved it. Service was fast and friendly as well.

We recently visited Woodstock and this place was soo good we came here two days straight in the row. Meatballs are delicious but also chickpea pancakes, garlic break, eggplant parm. Add some siracha if you want extra kick for you marinara. Sorry for lack of photos we eat all of it soo quick haha

We bought a bag of frozen pork & beef meatballs with marinara sauce from Sharkie's and just cooked for dinner to share with a group of two. The portion was great with a reasonable price. It's amazingly delicious, the meatballs were chewy & juicy and the sauce was flavorful & rich. We felt extremely satisfied and regretted that we only bought a pack.

Walked in and ordered the amazing vegetarian chili with Mozzarella cheese and crispy toast. I’ve had the delicious meatballs last time we visited Woodstock so I knew the chili would be amazing too. Highly suggest stopping in if you are in the area.

Pretty small shop on Main Street but packed with outstanding flavors! They specialize in meatball dishes. They offer 3 kinds: beef and pork blend, turkey, and vegan. All are prepared in a totally awesome marinara sauce. I had a few of the beef pork blend - the best meatballs I have ever eaten. My wife had a meatball slider which consisted of meatball, cheese, and pickles. We will go back to this shop many times. They are the meatball masters! Menu photos are attached.

Strolling along the street that is downtown Woodstock, initially the delicious smells wafting out of this restaurant drew me close. Walking into the joint, it was bustling at around 2pm on a Saturday, plenty of people ordering in or to go. Next time I'm in town would def want to try the meatballs here. Although I didn't eat in this time, the variety of local beers in the fridge and on the shelves piqued my interest. I grabbed a couple and brought it up to the front to pay. The cashier mentioned they were $8.50 each or 4 for $23.50(?), so I thought why not pick up a couple more. However considering this was one of the first spots I stopped by, I didn't want to carry them around so I told him I'd be back. An hour or so later I dropped by and the same cashier was restocking the fridge and remembered me right away, even picking out from the fridge for me the beers I'd brought up earlier to the register. A small gesture but super thoughtful and helpful! I was able to check out quickly and take my beers to go. So far I've tried the Arrowood Farm Brewery Black Sheep Brown Ale and the Catskills Brewery Ball Lightning and enjoyed them both!

Cute little spot. We came in on a slow day and the service was awesome. They have an extensive craft beer selection. The meatballs are damn good! All the ingredients seemed very fresh. Including the pickled jalapenos on the sliders I tried. I'd probably go with takeout on a busy night. Worth a stop.

Pretty good! Definitely a solid, yummy lunch hang on a rainy day. Such kind service and really liked their beef and pork meatball on their eggplant - they've got a delicious red sauce, which is no small feat!

Outstanding! Don't look further! You will be glad you did. YUMMY! Meatballs are fabulous. Fast service and large portions.

Wow. So glad we stopped here for our lunch as we passed through the iconic hippy town. The meatballs are so tasty. We got the open face meatball sandwich which comes with provolone cheese and marinara. We got a side of the Shark bites with Turkey meatballs. The food was hot, fresh and made with love. Shark bites are a specialty of theirs and it's a meatball wrapped in a biscuit and baked and served with a hot (temp & spicy) honey for dipping. The server was on point and after listen to us groan about not having any non-alcoholic brews when they have a 3 page menu of local craft beer then directed us to some non-alcoholic options (peach tea and lemonade that we combined.) The server also made a great recovery by comping our Shark bites when we bit into one of them and it had raw dough. She also had them make another one for us. The place is tiny so takeout is a great option. Will come again if we are ever in Woodstock again.

I ordered 3 meatballs with some mozzarella cheese and sauce. The cheese was nicely melted on it. The meatballs weren't bad and were a good size.

Food was good and quick.vegan and gluten free options The ambience offers local beers, bar to sit at, tables or to go

I was visiting Woodstock recently and wondering what I should make for a dinner I was hosting for my friends. The seductive smells coming from this shop were too good to not pop in to see what could I possibly procure to solve my dinner dilemma. Low and behold the amazing Sharkie's meatballs to the rescue! I was able to buy fresh meatballs (cooked) with marinara - they even sell fresh pasta to go with it. Dinner problem solved AND these were next level delicious. The owner and staff know what they are doing and I highly recommend eating in - carrying out or buying the frozen ones for a later date. 10's across the board. Well done.

We loved Sharkie's! Stumbled upon this place while passing through Woodstock on our way home from a Hudson Valley weekend. I was so excited when I found out all their meatballs are gluten free, which is not something you usually see, and as someone who eats gluten free, it made me so happy! I also loved that you can get the meatballs over pasta or over squash/eggplant. The meatballs were amazing, sauce delicious, and portions large. Also love that they had a turkey meatball option! Overall it feels like a very inclusive place, thinking of all dietary needs and not making it feel like an afterthought. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

While walking through Woodstock I saw a sign for Sharkie's and immediately knew I needed to try it. I went in and needed to go to the bar to order. The girl was friendly and helped me with a menu. I ordered a mini meatball sandwich which was just one meatball cut in half on a bun with provolone. It was delicious! I really appreciate when places have small portions like that available because sometimes I just like to try a small snack from multiple places. I also grabbed a side of the buttery garlic bread and it was also so delicious! Super buttery with a great garlic flavor and toasted so well. I would definitely come back to try something else or get a bigger meatball sandwich!

Great meatballs. Excellent service. The guy behind the counter served us some tasty local beers (which they have a great selection). He also told us about some nice local hiking trails. Vibe of this place is fun! They also have meatball dog treats! Wow!

Outstanding: I had two beef pork meatballs with marinara and parm on top, pretty basic...maybe I was really hungry but the meatballs x of that marinara parm and meatballs together for $9? Omigosh, can't beat it!

It didn't matter that it was grueling hot. I talked to hubs about Sharkies being a meatball shop on Tinker St. and wanted his comfort food to eat in our cottage not far from here. I also jumped on it too- especially as a non-meat eater, Sharkies' Chickpea & Sun Dried tomato "meat"balls spoke to me. Things have changed somewhat since Mark opened his shop a few years ago. Those Vegan balls have "Sold Out" as a hot dish item being that they weren't a crowd pleaser- but the owner still carries them in the freezer section. There are also 'Beyond' balls on the menu which- didn't interest me. My seasony roasted Eggplant+Onion sandwich was ok. I felt there was too much eggplant for the bread and made it all fall apart- nonetheless, it was made with wholesome ingredients. Hubs ate some of his meatballs over Spaghetti Squash- which was a unique touch. According to hubs, meatballs were super juicy and tomato sauce was simple and not overdone with herbs- which he appreciates. The only (slight) thing these meatballs missed, were those brown charred marks on the outside to bring out the flavor- (which he would've preferred ). Mark was pleasant and mentioned he is remodeling next door to extend Sharkies. If these are the type of balls you like, Sharkies has 'em.

My husband and I came here and the meatballs were very delicious and very fresh. They make everything in front of you . Nothing is frozen and all the meats are all from the local farms. The prices are kinda up there but it's well worth it. I would definitely recommend going to this cute gem .

Good heavens the balls are delicious! They are just so juicy and full of flavor! I wanted to take so many packs back home but I did not bring a cooler with me! Next time I will be smart and back a cooler. I will be back at some point!

This is a casual, eclectic tiny eatery with cool decor and lighting. We found it on our slow stroll through town, happily interrupting our walk and working up our appetites with window shopping. Wanting to save our belllies for dinner, we stopped at Sharkie's for a snack of truffle ravioli and beef/pork meatballs with marinara and mozzarella. Since we are from Long Island, we have a good variety of delicious Italian food on a regular basis. We were wonderfully surprised at the tastiness of these meatballs and the rich flavorful marinara sauce. We will definitely come back to this delicious spot! We give it 5/5 pots!

I was staying in Saugerties for weekend and was in the mood for some good vegetarian food. The impossible meatball hero was so good that I came back for another one the next day, driving 15 minutes out of my way. I also got a slider, which was even better.

On word... YUM! Don't read the reviews; just go! We happened upon Sharkie's when walking around Woodstock. I got the mixed meatballs over squash and eggplant. Just amazing!

What can I say - sharkie's has the best meatballs. We often buy their frozen meatballs with sauce, and it makes for a wonderful pasta dinner. If you're wondering about the name, apparently the owner used to bite people as a child, so that's cool too

A fun variety of meatballs! I wish I got some of their frozen ones to take home. That staff went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating!

This place is outstanding. All the meatballs are fantastic, but they also offer innovative sides or "beds" for them, like squash or eggplant. Excellent service, an eclectic beverage selection, and easy/fast online ordering for takeout.

Who wants meatballs on a hot summer day? You will as soon as you open the door to this place and smell the amazing smells! We came here on an extremely hot day because of the reviews and I needed someplace cool to sit. We ordered 3 meatballs, ended up ordering more, and buying frozen sauce and meatballs.

Yum Yum great meatballs I enjoyed the taste and the atmosphere . Service was really nice. The ambiance was beyond and above a regular meatball store

Ever since my first turkey meatball over spaghetti squash about five years ago, I've been a huge fan of Sharkie's. It's my go-to place when I don't want to cook or am looking for a healthy take out order for under $15 that lasts for two or sometimes three meals. My personal favorite is 3 turkey meatballs over spaghetti squash; it also comes over eggplant. Sharkie's rich Italian tomato sauce is filled with garlic, fresh basil and other goodies. Having lived in Italy, I can easily say that his sauce rivals any I've ever tasted. Four times I've purchased his frozen meatballs and sauce to bring to friends and relatives in Maryland, Boston and Westchester County, NY. Every single person has raved over the food's high quality and delicious taste. He uses locally sourced food and all the meatballs (turkey, turkey/sweet potato, beef/pork, Impossible Burger) are gluten free. About a year ago he expanded next door to a small restaurant and large bar that offers a variety of pastas and hoagies in addition to his famous meatballs.

Delish. Fast, friendly service. Prices are not insanely out of reach for humble locals. A treasure. Highly recommended.

Sharkie's follows the old adage: do one thing and do it well. Exceptional meatballs. Comfortable space, great service. Also, killer music. Go.

Mouthwatering meatballs & veggies! Friendly staff, adorable interior...dark chocolate macaroons were the perfect sweet we both needed to round out the meal...We'll be back!

I am not a meatball fan. I prefer my ground protein directly mixed into a pasta sauce and not mixed with fillers like bread and egg. This place converted me. I only like meatballs from Sharkie's (and the Meatball Shop in NYC)The beef and pork ones with extra marinara sauce are epic. Especially over the eggplant and spaghetti sauce. It's a small little shop on Woodstock and they have amazing pickles in addition to meatballs galore. No pasta options but the veggie base option is way more flavorful and delicious! Order ahead or come early cause when they sell out they close shop!

Awesome little spot tucked into the little town of Woodstock. Vegan or Carnivores can delight in knowing they options for you. The impossible meatballs (that come frozen) are great and easy to defrost. The sauce that you get is on the sweet side (in a good way) and is a perfect amount for the half dozen meatballs. I did not try the regular beef/pork meatballs, but was informed that they too were excellent. You can also get a bowl/sub rather than taking your balls to go. Other than food, there is a nice selection of beer and cider you can purchase individually or in 4/6 packs. They also have a paper on the side of said fridge giving you details on the booze. Store everywhere, take note.

The environment was super chill and the bartender was fun, easy to talk to, and full of great recommendations. We loved the meatballs; they were amazing! Tons of cool beers from local breweries to choose from. Music was great too! A unique place we would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Sometimes I just go in for a snack of 1 meatball and I'm satisfied. Wonderful! Of course I prefer more. Grated cheese on top is great too.

Whilst not my mother's meat balls, the food here was absolutely delicious. The meat balls were filled with taste, moist and just lovely. The place is small --think Cody--and the staff delightful. We are local so we appreciate the local restaurants-- & Sharkies is up there and definitely a repeat--again and again.

Excellent gluten free meatballs over veggies. So good!!! So happy we found this place during our walk around Woodstock.

We were thinking about dinner options and saw the great reviews for Sharkie's on Yelp. We picked up some turkey meatballs and some fresh pasta imported from Italy. Dinner was delicious! The meatballs and sauce that came with them were very high quality- definitely not from a jar/processed. The meal we had could definitely hold its own in any fancy Italian restaurant in NYC. The owner/chef was very friendly, helpful and spot on with his suggestions. They also have some fun pickles and hot sauces to jazz up your meal. Will definitely come back.

Yo- no joke. Yummy balls- pork:beef turkey and chickpea. Great sliders - fortunately I was able to go back a second time as i under ordered the first time

Amazing service, atmosphere and food. Very nice clean place in the middle of town with amazing meat balls and helpful friendly staff. I highly recommend.

This little meatball hutch is actually one of my favorite restaurants in town. I'm a local and live to take my friends for a couple of meatballs when they visit, or if I don't feel like cooking. It's priced fairly, serves extremely delicious meatballs in three varieties and offers you the option to have it n a sandwich or on fabulously unusual and flavorful vegetables. All in all it's quite thoughtful and authentic, and the tomato sauce actually reminds me of my Sicilian Grandma's sauce. The owner is really nice and they have a lovely variety of 3rd party products they sell... pickles and such. Delish!!!!

Great meatballs in a generous portion. We ordered the mid-sized sandwiches and were surprised how big they were. Even the mini would have been a good lunch.

Meatballs were super moist, light and delicious. The sauce was fabulous, just the right amount of sweetness from the onion and kick from garlic. Portions were ample. I had the open faced meatball sandwich on garlic bread while my husband had the 3 meatball sandwich. Perfect for a cold, snowy winter day but I'd eat these happily all year round! The owner was very nice and hospitable as well.

We actually found this place by accident while going to some other place. It looked cool so we figured we'd give it a try. I was a bit hesitant because it's mostly meatballs and I don't eat beef but there were other options (Turkey, chicken jalapeño, and vegan). I got the chicken jalapeño meatball sandwich and it was great. Really great. I definitely want to go back.

"Customer service" is such an overblown term these days. Companies preach it...most are awful at it, or are just incredibly fake and contrived (you all know that fake voice I'm talking about). If you're looking for a crash course in how to talk to people on the phone and in person, pay attention to the owner of Sharkie's because he's better than most at it. I am happy to support him and his business. We need more business owners like this. You can tell he cares about his product and his customers. Easy 5 stars for him. I'm half Italian. Grew up in Queens. Would bathe in marinara sauce if I could. I know this food well. His beef meatball sandwich with mozzarella is elite. I'm not going to dive into the specifics as to why, because it's better to keep it simple. If you like meatballs, you'll like Sharkie's. If you're disgusted because most places screw up meatballs and meatball-based sandwiches, go to Sharkie's. Easy 5 stars for the food too. \m/

Best meatball sub I've had in my life. Even the add-on jalapeños were above average somehow! Perfect

So much more than just meatballs! While most people enjoy a sub while in downtown Woodstock, I frequent Sharkie's for the veggie-friendly meatballs and side dishes! The garlic mac and cheese is incredible and the broccoli and cashew salad is a light, crisp summer favorite. The best surprise is the continuous rotation of local ice cream, homemade desserts, and of course, Mark! A must-visit when in town for the weekend, but also a reliable choice for catering a meal at home with friends.

Let's talk meatballs. This store makes them out of mostly local grass fed ingredients. The marinara sauce is scrumptious. Then there are the vegan meatballs and local pickles. Yummy. The owner of this intriguing creAtive and innovative business, Mark, is a delight. He gets to know his customers and has a wonderful relationship with all who walk in. And takes great pride in the quality and taste of his products. Amen.

Found this excellent meatball place in Woodstock. Friendly staff and excellent meatballs and sauce , good to the last bite and drop. Highly recommended.

I was very excited when I came across this place on yelp, the menu reminded me of The Meatball Shop in NYC, one of my favorite places. Also, they have a vegan option and vegan sauce which is always greatly appreciated. I ordered the vegan chickpea meatball sub and my boyfriend ordered a slider of pork, beef, and chickpea. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the vegan option here. I thought the chickpea balls were bland and the bread was too soft and soggy. I actually ended up not even being able to eat it. My boyfriend said the meat meatballs were okay. We ordered the food to go and waited inside the place for it to be prepared. While we were there we overheard the owner(?) giving multiple people a hard time about to-go packaging, which was off putting. I'm all for being environmentally friendly, but as a primarily to-go spot you're kind of stuck packaging things up.

Woah woah woah just had Sharkie's vegan meatballs over the spaghetti squash... wow. That was delicious! I highly recommend getting this even if you aren't vegan. They are also super nice in there!

This place is dope. It's simple. Efficient. And freaking delicious. It's also not too expensive either given how much food you get and how full you feel once you're done eating. I love the concept and the location to. The turkey meatballs are off the charts and so are the chickpeas. Love love love both of them. Highly advise you stop by at least once if you're only briefly in town. Marks great and down to earth - high vibe guy. If I come back to town I will be back.
