The Old Sharkey's Grill

Well now Folks, this place has been a local Standard for Years!!! Stop by and You will find out why. Breakfast is served with a Smile and some good ole Country Cooking. Now the Biscuits are a little different from the standard ones but just wait till you have one. Yes, indeed Yummy for the Tummy!!! Service is Spot On and the Food is very Tasty.

Burger was good. I would go back just for the burger!Chili cheese fries... not so good. Neither the chili, cheese, nor fries were good. Fries are previously frozen bagged fries. The cheese seemed low quality, and didn't go well on the dish. By the time is was served, the cheese was hardened. The chili was flavorless, greasy, and disappointing. The breakfast was standard diner fare. Nothing fancy or special, unless you count the daily specials. The biscuit was soft, and tasty. Sausage was dry and flavorless. The cleanliness left much to be desired. Some things were done well, some things were not, leaving this restaurant at a solid 3 stars.

Hole in the wall. Greasy spoon kinda place. Very blue collar. The staff is super friendly though. Type of place where they call you babe and honey. Food is solid. Nothing fancy but you won't leave hungry. Prices are very reasonable. The coffee was surprisingly good.

Family of 4 ate lunch for $39.66 before tip.it's hard to find great country cooking but here it is! Plenty of menu updates to keep you coming back.

Still rocking along! We had a hankering this week for a great hot dog and some equally great onion rings - so Old Sharky's it was! We went with a couple of hot dogs (mustard, chili, and onions, of course), a cheeseburger, and an order of those great onion rings.Food was out quickly, and everything was as good as ever. We'll be back soon for some of that great fried chicken - it is as good as any in the Triad! Great people here, they are friendly, attentive, and engaging.

Great local spot hidden away. Friendly down home feel. Big portions. Excellent anytime of the day. Support the small business.

If a hole in the wall is your kind of place, then you will love The Old Sharkey's Grill. If excellent grill food and homemade vittles are your cup of tea, then you will love The Old Sharkey's Grill. If you have an affinity for friendly local folk and their chit chat, often directed at others across the room, then you will love The Old Sharkey's Grill.This place is an absolute gem. I opted for the double cheeseburger, but the single would have been enough. The patty had an excellent outer crisp and a very good flavor. It was made fresh and was thus hot and delicious. The toppings were perfect. The hot dogs all the way were among the best I've had. The dog itself had an excellent flavor wherein all the traditional hot dog spices are boldly present but not overbearing. The slaw tasted great and had a perfect texture (but leaned slightly wet). The chili, too, was one of the best I've had, sporting spot-on chili spice and wonderful texture. I wanted to sample one of their homemade items, so I asked for a sample of chicken salad, which was cheerfully provided. It was delicious. Excellent mix of tasty chicken, seasonings, creamy base, and celery bits. The cooks here are serious about their craft, and it shows. You can see it in their focused countenance and industrious movements. Another example is the burger. A lot of places make burgers ahead of time, then plop them on the grill or *gasp!* steam them for a minute to warm them. Not here. They make them fresh with every order. When you come here, you may notice that the part of the sign that says "The Old" appears as if it was added on. It was. It seems that back in the day this place was a restaurant and billiard hall with quite a reputation for all the incidents traditionally associated with such establishments. Certainly the clientele for such activity is very much nearby. Indeed, I would not advise joyriding into some of the surrounding neighborhoods without an armed escort. Anyway, the previous owner had some tax issues, and an IRS tax lien remains on the name Sharkey's Grill. So the current owners, who've had it for about six years, added "The Old" to make it "The Old Sharkey's Grill" to avoid dealing with that lien. Tax law is an unbelievable thing. Just a little backstory for you.Whatever the case with you and your tax situation, The Old Sharkey's Grill is a must stop if you are near Burlington.

Not gonna waste either of our time, trust me avoid this place if you value your health and sanity.
