When the order was placed online and paid for, it showed pick up in 30 mins. We arrived an hour later and the doors were locked and no one was in the store. After waiting about 15 mins we were about to leave and just contact the CC company for a refund when the owners pulled up and go in the store. First the lady said she could take our order but I explained to her we had already ordered online, then she says to come inside to get it but she failed to mention they actually had to cook it. After waiting another 30 mins we get the food to discover it was burnt. I will not be ordering from them in the future as that was truly unprofessional all the way across the board!

The owners were very professional & great customer service!! The chicken wings were delicious! The batter was light & crispy on the outside & the chicken was juicy & tender on the inside. The Italian beef sandwich was the most tender I have had in a long time!! The gyro is filled to the top & the fries are light & crispy!! Great food!!! We are definitely coming back to eat again!!

I like how this restaurant company is spread out throughout the city as it worked well for me that I didn't have to go far to get to one..especially with this foul gas prices right now! On top of that the food was lit, the inside was in tidy condition, and the lady who took my order was so pleasant. My only issue was I really think I received all mild italian beefs when some were supposed to be mild and some hot. Much love to the gentleman who came from the back to help me carry my food.

They sold me old chicken. Called the same day to let them know the manager was gone. The worker told me to come back tomorrow and get some fresh chicken. I called before going back. I believe that was the manager who answered put me on hold for 15mins came back on the phone didn’t say anything. Hung up. I went in with the old chicken to show them and they only gave me one order of chicken because I didn’t have the other order. Would not give me a refund for the other one. Please check y’all food before leaving! Health department will be called.

  • John Combs

I stopped on my way out of town to grab a bite to eat. I ordered 2 double cheeseburgers and a fry. I was only basing my order off the image as you go in the door. To my surprise after I received my order and got back on the road the burger was humongous. Needless to say I didn't need the second one . It was one of the best burgers I have ever ate. The only con I could think of is that I wished that would have provided me with some napkins. If you are in the neighborhood make sure to stop and try it.

  • Sarah West

Very nice customer service, the guy who answered the phone was very nice and helpful, I called to place an order for 10 wings, but the wings was hard, so I called back and he was very helpful, and he told me, he will take care of my order, when I came back he was very gentle and it was the best wings I ever had. Very satisfied, 10/10.

  • Helen Tribue

I liked it. And more importantly, my kids liked it. The chicken was fresh and ready for pick in the time they said it would be. Much tastier and less fat and grease that the big name chain place a mile away. And the lemon pepper seasoning (which is optional) is a great plus. Gives the chicken a little extra "zing". And the price was Great! KFC gives 8 pc of just chicken for 10.99 but this place has 10pc for 7.99 and it comes w/fries.

  • ColorMeekBadd !

OMG!!! THIS US THE CLEANEST SHARKS THAT I’VE EVER VISITED! THIS GUY TAKES PRIDE IN HIS RESTAURANT! I DON’T LIVE NEAR A SHARKS, AND I REALLY WANTED SOME SO BADLY THAT I DROVE MANY MILES TO COME HERE!!! I DIDN’T GET YOUR NAME, BUT THANK YOU FOR ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I’VE HAD IN A LONG TIME COMING FROM A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. Sorry for All the Caps lock! I was just sooooo excited and I forgot to take it off! Thank you again

  • Christopher Mclean

Worst sharks in Chicago , I don’t rate bad places but this place is THE WORST!! I’ve been in person and on UBER Eats and they cut corners!!! They won’t give you mild or hot sauce when you order online , because they want to save money. And when you order in person they they skimp or have an attitude about getting what you paid for. Don’t listen to the fake reviews that this sharks PAID for !!!!

  • MzChantelChantel Davis

Sorry to say this but this my third time buying a fish dinner from this place and it cost me $16.44 for 4 small pieces of fish steaks they prices are to high. Just because u in or around Bronzeville area don’t mean to put your price up & why it’s COVID 19 taking Advantage of people.. u all are taking advantage Shame on you!!

  • Daniel F

Update your Google Maps presence! I just drove all the way over here because it says that you're open, but you're not! Also your business hours aren't even posted on your door! This happened to me once last year which I didn't think it was a big deal because it was sort of still during the pandemic but here I am again.

Chicken wings are really good and are made fresh and fast same with the fries the tenders are great, the place is clean and the service is good too!

By far the best Sharks I've ever been to! The young lady taking orders was super friendly, pleasant and has amazing customer service. The gentleman cooking food listened to my very specific food requests and did just that. Food was hot, prepared just how I like it. I'll be back for sure

  • Samilla Watson

This is my second time at sharks I told myself that I wasn't coming back do to the disrespectful cashiers and manager, and cook. I see there's new workers there the place smells better and the workers are more polite and plus the food tastes way better. GOOD JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

The fried foods at this 39th street Sharks is absolutely delicious. Seasoned and fried to perfection. Totally worth the cheat! All the other locations should take lessons. Especially the one on Division and Leclaire. That location is horrible.

They didn't have fried chicken when I went for lunch. Got their lunch special, it came with two bone in pieces of codfish, fries, and 2 pieces of bread, price wasn't bad at $6, and it tasted fine, but didn't exactly leave me satisfied.

  • Piper Myers

Don’t go near here! People who say they work there will steal your money. They say they can park you for the Sox game but please don’t!!! They will just take your money and literally run across the street with it like they did to me.

  • Dex Minor

I was very disappointed at this place. The chicken was old and probably refried several times. I will NEVER visit this place again! I had to toss it. Not edible...0 stars.

John cooked my chicken fresh it was perfectly crisp and my guest enjoyed the chicken more than the other times I’ve purchased from Sharks on Pershing. Highly recommend ordering when John’s cooking.

  • Stephanie Arnold

This place is fairly new so it's been there like less than a year it's on 39th and Pershing Road also the food is okay the customer service could use more help but other than that that's my review

  • Albert Rucker

Sharks was a very clean and friendly atmosphere and what I ordered was the perch which was more then enough for two people very lite and crisp. The fries were great I am truly going back again.

  • Jose Junior
