Sharkies Seafood Restaurant

My homeland 🇯🇲 I would give this place a five out of five. It’s a very popular spot, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every single thing we ate was so good. The service was amazing and we absolutely loved our waitress. She was so nice and made us laugh. The atmosphere is beautiful since it’s right on the beach, and I would definitely recommend trying this place.

If you are ever in Jamaica & looking for some good seafood. Check this spot out. I went to Sharkies Seafood Restaurant for my birthday. I give this place a 10/10 for the view and atmosphere, however I'll give the cuisine an 8/10. I got shrimp tacos 8/10🍤, pepper shrimp 8/10🦐, lobster tail 7/10🦞, & the seafood boil 6/10 🦀 it was very salty. I was ecstatic when I managed to obtain a couple seashells 🐚. After that, I returned to the resort, had some desert, and spent the night by the shore. The view was stunning.

Note: You can use credit card. Speaking as someone who was on the resort, Sharkies was highly recommended by our taxi driver to reset our palates. We purchased five drinks, large fish with rice and peas, two plantains, one order of festival, and seafood pasta for $86 USD (with a 15% gratuity factored in. That’s good because so much industry in this area is based on tips, which can be tough). The fish was large and spicy. The food was generally solid but I would prefer there be a lot of sauce in the entrees. We ordered for take out and it took 45 minutes due to how many people were there.

Well, the atmosphere is perfect..the food was excellent..My only issue, once I received the bill, I saw an automatic $500 for service..If im paying for the food..shouldn't getting the food be a part of the deal..Also, why is this not communicated upfront..? Let us know so we are aware..As a person who is always tipping as I am from a tipping culture..It was rather disappointing to see this on the invoice also, having not had it communicated prior. For that, you lose points off the service. While I understand Jamaica is not that of a tipping culture, tipping should not be mandatory, it should not be forced on those choosing to dine at the restaurant..Tipping should still be a choice not something forced onto the patrons. Otherwise, simply add the amount as a part of the food and let us make informed decisions about whether we dine or whether we want to eat or drink a particular food. That was a huge turn off and while I had planned to tip.. my bill which was just under $7000 jamaican dollars, received no additional tip. This practice of adding the service charge to the bill and also not communicating same is unacceptable! And this is coming from someone who frequently tips and tips handsomely some times 100% or in excess of same. This again is UNACCEPTABLE!

No chicken breast in the pasta, they use coconut milk that was curd on the pasta very dry , why not use the pasta sauce, and chicken breast where is it, not $3500JMD . I wouldn’t go back very disappointed. Taste awful , why not use full cream and Parmesan cheese , why make curd coconut milk and chicken breast and dry pasta . Had to bin it

I had the curry lobster and pepper shrimp. The food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely visit again. I really enjoyed my food and was full after.

Great dining experience at Sharkies! The food takes some time for prepping but was so amazing and the music from the DJ was a pure vibe. Plus, you can chill on the beach right after which I definitely enjoyed. My server provided excellent service too.

Was a good experience, the food was appropriately priced, tasted very good and options on menu were available. The portions were also very good. The wait was a bit long for the main course, but our waitress informed us of delays and ensured we were otherwise fine. I arrived at about midday and was busy but got extremely busy by abt 2-3pm and I assume after. The adjacent beach was well kept, minimal stray dogs. The restaurant was clean with little to no flies. The restroom was well kept. At the entrance a station was available for hand washing. The parking lot was spacious but water settled in varying area which prevented us from walking freely. Otherwise it was a good experience.
