Shark Bar and Seafood House

The food is good, but I just found out that they put an automatic gratuity on the check and that doesn't go to the servers, the bar keeps it. So if you want your server to have a tip, you have to do it separately. Outrageous! The music is too loud as well. I love good music, but sitting right beside someone you have to yell to be heard. It's too much. This is definitely my last trip here.

My sisters and I can here for a sisters night. It was fun. They had a Go-go band, which I enjoyed. My sisters had their seafood broiled which they felt was a little overcooked.The drinks were pretty good outside of the jalapeño margarita it wasn't my favorite.Service was attentive at the bar, but once we got seated at a table the service was none existent. We eventually got a waitress 30-40 mins after sitting down.One thing I would recommend is the strawberry Long Island. That drink will get you right! You won't need nothing else.

Overall, it was a decent experience but I do not know if I will go back. I ordered the crab cake sliders, the fisherman's platter and the cake m fettuccine. I added shrimp and chicken to it. My thoughts:1. The crab cakes were fried too hard. They were difficult to eat. 2. The fisherman's platter only had one scallop. I found that interesting since the description mentioned multiple. Nice flavor. 3. I am shocked and appalled at the amount of chicken that was on my pasta. I paid an extra $6 and only got a few chunks of chicken. Good taste on the pasta though. Unfortunate.

So Bae and I decided to step out in the dorf and he wanted to come here. We arrived, got great parking (though tight squeeze) and headed in. There was a $20 cover fee per person (FYSA). There were several cops at the hostess stand. Bae made a joke about them seating us, but they didn't think it was funny :). A host soon came over and sat us by the stage and next to the speaker. It was LOUD. Like loud where you can't hear the person beside you. You sit there when you are avoiding conversation. Obviously bae asked if we could switch tables. We were then relocated to a both along the wall by the entrance. It was a good "people watching spot". Also, we could hear each other a little more clearly and I only say a little because we ordered food and I can only assume our server miss heard my boyfriend and brought him fried shrimp instead of shrimp and grits.I ordered the Strawberry LIT (Long Island Ice Tea for you folks not from the south). It was everything I wanted and more for $13. I mean it had liquor in it! I was baby sitting for a bit. It did it's job. I also had buffalo wings which were ok. I would go back, but I also need to remember it's giving more of a restaurant layout, but party vibe.

This was my first time visiting this spot and it was a pretty good experience 7/10 however, I probably won't be back. This place charges a cover charge which was taxed when I used my CC, which wasn't stated prior to providing my card. I ordered the fish sandwich which was pretty good however, I had to tell the server I was very hungry in order to get my food out quickly, kudos to her. The other people at my table waited a very long time to receive their food. Lastly, the music was entirely too loud, I couldn't talk to anyone at my table without shouting and my ears were hurting.

Let me start off by saying SharkBar is very hit or miss. I've been here before and it took our food forever to come out (I'm talking almost an hour). But there are other times I've visited and didn't have any problems with how fast they were pushing food out of the kitchen. When it comes to service do yourself a favor and ask for Tye (hopefully I spelled that right). He always provides exemplary service with a smile! On the weekend there's more than likely going to be a go-go band there so be sure to get there before 9:00pm so you won't have to pay the $20-$40 cover. We went to see Still Familiar, and they did not disappoint. The drinks were plentiful and strong, the food was good, and the vibe was right. Will be back again to support this local bar.

On a busy Saturday at 9:30, my husband and I arrived at the restaurant and presented our IDs for a search. The security personnel were courteous and professional when my husband accidentally brought his gun with him (hence the fourth star). We then put our names on the waitlist for a 90-minute table, ordered drinks from the bar, and waited. Although the live band added a nice touch to the restaurant, the speakers were too loud, requiring us to speak directly into each other's ears to be heard. A person who appeared to be either the owner or the manager kept blocking the walking paths as he greeted other patrons, which became frustrating for both the staff and me. Eventually, I got tired of waiting and squeezed through. Despite the high prices, our drinks were potent and our food was good. I preferred my husband's burger over my shrimp and grits. In the future, I would come back to this restaurant but bring earplugs.

Don't eat in MD much, but tried Sharkbar in Waldorf OMG this place has good vibe and DJ. The food was amazing and plentiful. Shrimp and grits were off the hook, crab cakes, salads and drinks were amazing. I will be returning. Note they add gratuity to your check. Mgr Nicole will make sure you're taken care of

I always have a good time when I come to the Shark Bar; the staff is friendly, the food taste good , amazing ambiance and awesome entertainment...

I came here for the first time and this is the absolute worst service I have received in my life. With an establishment full of people and only one waitress. You could barely get a drink. The servers were not nice either. I paid $100 for my table for an event and barely got service. My food never came after hours of waiting. I went down the street to eat somewhere else. I will NEVER go to the establishment again! Stay far away so that you are not disappointed. I wish I could give them no stars
