    Best wings and clams in NJ!
    Mon-Tues deals are amazing. 50 cent wings and clams
    real divey place, kinda small and cramped. tough to get table

    has THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE IN THE COUNTRY.
    no hostess to help get you a table, only 2 bartenders and no waitresses. no one cares to take your order. you literally have to grab a waitress by the neck to get her attention. Owner must be the cheapest bastard ever if he can't hire 1 more waitress.
    Also food takes forever, but once you get it.... IT'S WORTH IT!!!

    I loved loved loved this place, I found it on yelp and decided I had to try it. I love wings and i hate wings which are breaded. this place by far has the best wings I have ever eaten at least in the recent past. They have a multitude of sauces and you can also mix and match sauces to make your own custom sauce. The chunky garlic for me was a must on the wings. The place is divey and quite small. I was lucky to get a seat at the bar as soon as I got there. Their raw bar is pretty kick ass as well, and they have cheap beer. Beer and wings doesn't get better than that. Parking is street parking and during happy hour this place is packed everyday. I can't wait to go back.

    Let me just say the wings here are good as is some of the other foods here. The staff here? Awful white trash staff need to be fired I used to come here a lot as did a lot of people I showed this place to. This staff however is THE RUDEST around they need to lose their jobs and be replaced come on now its not that hard I will not be coming back to this place I can make wings just as good as these at home.

    The ultimate dive bar and best wings in North Jersey!  Come here probably once every couple weeks, always for the wings.  I think they're 50 cents during happy hour, and always $2 Coors Light drafts.  The hot sauce is just the perfect amount, spicy enough but you can still enjoy what you're eating!  Why only four stars? Sometimes it's hard to find a place to sit, I've definitely walked in and walked out before when we couldn't find an empty table.  Also, they charge you for bleu cheese and celery/carrots, they don't come with the wings.

    After reading the reviews here, we just had to go and try the wings.  As many other reviewers mentioned, it's a dive.  The atmosphere is like most local bars, cozy and divey in a good way.  About six high-top tables near the bar, lots of tv's and a room in the back with a few more tables.  The service wasn't the fastest, but it was friendly.  Could have been a bit more attentive.

    Now for the food.... we only tried the wings and fries.  Caesar Chunky Garlic and Thai Chili wings, with some hot buffalo fries on the side.  Ok, first the wings....very tasty, well cooked, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.  The Chunky Garlic (which you can add to any of the wings) is a nice touch, though they are very garlicky and can be a bit overwhelming.  The Thai Chili was quite tasty, a little kick and a nice break from the garlic.  The fries are steak fries, could be a little more crispy on the outside.  The buffalo sauce with the melted cheese and blue cheese crumble were really tasty, despite them being a bit soggy.

    Overall, a great Sunday wings and beer dinner.  Will have to go back to try the other flavors.

    Gotta agree with the other reviews, the wings are hands down the best in the area (not the best in the world, but definitely up on the list).  Dive bar at it's best, I do like this place.  Staff is friendly.

    I have such a love hate relationship with this place. The food is fantastic, but the service is horrible. I dont know if the owner is too cheap to hire more help or what, but i ordered take out, and it took......."drum-roll please" 45 minutes to pick up food that was already cooked and waiting. By the time we got the food EVERYTHING was soggy and sweaty. 60 dollars worth of mush. My boss was pissed because it took me 1 1/2 hours to get food and come back. DO NOT BY ANY MEANS ORDER TAKE OUT. It does not travel well at all. Bottom line is, if you have time to waste, then come here to eat really good wings.If you must get take out, Beg them to put vent holes in the Styrofoam containers at least.

    awesome wings horrific place! I dont understand why they have such few tables! like do they want to make money? nevermind the bartenders bullshitting in the corner instead of making sure everyone had a drink and a order placed. Why not clean the bar after someone leaves? much potential food wise w/the wings seafood was not cold at all :( any hoot  I rather drive to jimmy geez I feel safer there (hygiene wise)

    It's a dive bar with some great chicken wings.  The garlic wings are.. well.. really, really garlicky.  So bring some listerine or something.  Not expensive at all.  But it gets packed in there so be mindful of that.

    I am shocked that this place has four stars. I just came home from Sharky's tonight and I am certain I won't be coming back. I get the feeling that Sharky's is somewhat of a dive bar and I get that and can respect that. But the bar and tables were dirty. I noticed when people left that the tables and bar weren't wiped down.When I asked to have our table wiped down with a wet rag our waitress looked at me like I was insane. She tried to wipe our table down with a dry paper towel. The service was slow. I sensed some trouble behind the bar. We waited ten minutes for a glass of water and for someone to take our order. The menus were sticky and dirty.

    There is a plus side...I really liked my wings with the Caesar sauce on them, and the Sharky fries were good. My boyfriend's wings were tough..he was not impressed. Also it wasn't worth the $65 he spent there. If your bill is over $50 a gratuity of 18% is added. It would be okay if it was worth it. It was our first time here and we wanted to try something new and either we picked a bad night to go to Sharky's or this place is overrated and the pictures shown on here are quite deceiving,  I have never talked to so negatively about a place before but I really don't have a lot of nice things to say.

    For great wings, Monday and Tuesday nights are the best here!  50 cent wings, with a GREAT variety of flavors and drinks!

    I've come to love frequenting here often for my fix of fried chicken wings.  The deal of 50 cent wings does wonders.  You can get any amount of any flavor which adds to the variety factor.  If you love garlic wings, then Sharky's is definitely the place to go!  Their signature chunky garlic wings are great!  Other than the typical flavors (mild, medium, hot, etc), they have flavors such as BBQ, Tariyaki, Blackened (kind of peppery flavored), Maryland (old bay seasoning with some butter), Caesar, Oriental, and Thai Chili.  My personal favorite regular flavors are blackened and maryland, can't get enough of those!

    What is also great here is that you can mix and match flavors.  Since I am a garlic fan, I love getting the combination of Maryland/Garlic and Blackened Garlic.  You cannot go wrong with Hot/Garlic as well.  I would say these combinations are ideal if you may think that just having garlic wings can become a bit overwhelming.  Even I would not want to eat so many chunky garlic wings so having combination flavors is great to have so the garlic flavor is toned down a little bit.  In addition, the last time I went here I found out I could get Parmesan/Garlic wings, which is also not on the menu, but awesome to have as well.  Even with mixing the flavors, they are STILL ONLY 50 cents on a Monday/Tuesday night, so 20 of these wings that you can mix and match for only $10 is a steal in my opinion.

    The other special they have here are 50 cent clams which are pretty good themselves, but I just prefer eating the wings.  They also have different drink specials that are usually written around the establishment, so check them out, they have a nice selection of beers.

    As for the other food, I have honestly never went here when there was not a wing special, so I cannot tell you how the other food is.  What I can tell you is that they do have an extensive menu of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and seafood to satisfy your taste buds.

    The only gripe I would have with Sharky's is the service on Monday/Tuesday nights.  Because if the size of the place (very small with just a handful of tables along with bar seating), it can be very packed and if you come at the wrong time, you will have to stand around and wait for a little while for a seat.  When it's very busy, I feel the servers/bartenders are overwhelmed and will not be able to make rounds to their customers as often as they should.  Having an extra person or 2 working at this time would make this better for everyone.

    Other than that, go here, eat the wings, have some drinks, and be happy!

    I came here last night with a buddy for atypical happy hour.

    I've been meaning to come here to try their wings for a long time. We ordered 10 of the buffalo and 10 teriyaki. The wings were meaty and some were overcooked/dry. We were told the honey mustard was the least favorite flavor sauce. I like honey mustard. Like at Mickey D's nuggets and honey mustard works so well! I suspect that they are running out of it. I also ordered the 'garlic fries' with cheese. I didn't like it some much because they were steak fries and were not crispy.  I understand its hard to get steak fries crispy but next time I'll ask for curly garlic fries.

    I also ordered half a dozen oysters for 8 something. They tasted aright.  They were fresh and not so briny, I liked that they have cherry wheat on tap. I had 2 of those and my friend has 2 yuengling $2 HH special. All in all it was under 50 bucks with tip is ok for HH. I'd come back when Football is back or whenever I'm the mood for wings.

    So this place, from the outside, looks like a typical neighborhood bar. And it is, for that matter...

    However, once you step inside, you're greeted by a rather cool-looking bar and wing spot. It's not too big of a place, but isn't tiny enough to make you feel cramped. There's sit-down tables, as well as bar seats all over. My fiancee and I came here last night, for a nice St. Patrick's day wing fiesta -- and we were PLEASANTLY surprised.

    The wings are fantastic -- we got the Caesar, Teriyaki, and Honeyh Mustard wings, and they ALL were delicious. Not too creamy, and had more of a liquid vibe -- which I surprisingly liked. The Caesar wings were the best by far, reminiscent of the Parmesan Garlic wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. The service was the killer -- VERY slow, even on an un-packed bar on a Saturday night at 6:30. I had to get up to get my orders (there were only two waitresses for the ENTIRE SPOT -- bar and floor included).

    Other than that, the prices weren't bad at all.

    Came here on a random Tuesday night with my girlfriend. We love it! Have been back at least 4 times since our first time. My favorite is the honey mustard wings with chunky garlic. But there are so many different flavors (spicy thai, maryland, caesar, honey bbq, etc).

    If you love wings, you HAVE to come here. These are the best wings I've ever had. The clams are pretty good too, however, when I come here...I'm here for the wings. I usually enjoy about 12-16 for myself.

    There's always several games going on their TVs, so there's something to watch. Seating is limited and I don't know if they take reservations (i doubt it), but keep that in mind if there is a big game on TV that night. Be sure to check out their happy hour specials online (both food and drink specials). Overall, I've been thoroughly satisfied with my experiences at Sharky's.

    Sharky's is amazing and deserves a 5-star rating.

    Pros: Best wings in the area - maybe the whole state. Get the chunky garlic style - you won't be sorry. Cheap Clams (if you're into that) great happy hour beer and wing specials. Everything is delicious.

    Con: Seating is awful. It's usually a long wait, and the wait is usually awkward as you are eyeing up who's leaving next. Get there early for happy hour.

    Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go here!

    This place is so crowded already that I don't really want to write this review, but Sharky's has the best wings in NJ.  The blackened wings with garlic butter are the most insanely perfect wing I've ever had.  Their hot wings are awesome too and I got them the first 10 times that I went here, but I'm a blackened with garlic butter convert.  Everything else looks good, but the wings are what makes this place awesome.  They have a "business mans" lunch special which is 6 wings, fries and a soda for about $7 (I'm going from memory) and doesn't bring in the crowd that they get at night.  I've pulled up here on a Wednesday night, with no major sporting events on tv and had to leave because it was too crowded.  Enjoy!

    This was my 2nd or 3rd time here, I only go cause a buddy hangs there, but the atmosphere during NFL season is awesome.  All fans from all teams & from what I've seen, everyone gets along.

    A couple of points, the wings were kinda small, but were ok, Service was very good.  They need to fix an exhaust fan in the kitchen, cause the place smells like cooked oil.

    The good - i am a wing junkie. They have some of the best wings around. The rest of the menu is always good tasting pub grub. The place might seem divish but do not be afraid to Order food here it's amazing.  They have a great happy hour and it starts at 3!

    The bad -  parking can be tough and it is sometime hard to get a seat in the main bar area.  Music and crowd are loud so don't go if you want to have a serious conversation.  

    The ugly  -  nothing!

    You can't get anymore "in the neighborhood" than this place. The bar is practically in a house but inside the bar, you'll forget how you came in. No question, these are the best wings you'll ever have in northern New Jersey. If you love garlic, that is a must as well! When you order wings, get them "on fire" meaning the hottest they can make them (on fire refers to buffalo sauce). The prices are very reasonable and the wing quality is very good/meaty. The drink prices are very good and some of the lowest you'll find anywhere. What i normally get are the "wings on fire with garlic and teriyaki. Absolutely cannot go wrong with it. And if you go on Happy Hour (starting at 5pm.)... 50 cent wings and clams.

    However, one star is docked because they often get overwhelmed and the service isn't always the friendliest. It is a dive bar, yes but I am also a paying customer too. I no longer go to this location and much rather prefer the Boonton location. Same great food and drinks but much better service.

    One of the worst sports bar i have ever been too. I went there last monday for monday night game and the bartender will take forever to serve you beer and wings. She was holding our wings in hand for like 10 min while she was just talking to another customer. The only person who get good service there are the guys who know the bartender. One more thing that the bartender had so much attitude on her face. I am never going back there and my only advice to others dont ever try this bar its worthless.

    I echo the sentiments of Chris V before me... I am selfish and have not wanted to review Sharky's on here for fear of losing my open seat at a bar stool. Such a small area for seating.

    Wings are great, so are the clams (love the teriyaki & thai chili). There are some really fun items to try on the menu (chicken cordon bleu bites? hell yes!) Bartenders are thoughtful and mindful, service is typically quick. The jukebox is a nice touch, always interesting to see what people pick... there's always a variety (although the noise level is incredibly loud).

    Football Sundays/Mondays is great - lots of TV's and fans. Just remember, it's SMALL.

    Only downside to Sharky's is that whatever I wear there - smells like fry oil for days afterwards - and that can be... unpleasant. But there's nothing they can really do about that - so 5 stars it is. But don't tell anyone else, I want my seat at the bar!!

    Had the Thai chili wings, 50 cent steamer clams and raw oysters. Very yum!  No complaints. Good food. Good people. Good bar. Nothing fancy but bright and clean.

    I've been to Sharky's numerous times, and never wanted to check in and let everyone know it's there. That's right, because I'm selfish...

    Wings are awesome...you won't be disappointed. Raw bar is fresh, and oyster quality is decent. Granted, they're not Kumamotos or anything fancy, but they're good, relatively inexpensive, and why would you complain about anything else?

    It gets crowded because its small, so if you get a seat, keep it and don't move. The bartenders are friendly, generally speedy, and pretty easy on the eyes.

    I'd give 5 stars if it were bigger, since a lack of seating can be a minor annoyance.

    Best wings in North Jersey. Best flavor in New Jersey. Heck, best flavor of any wing place I've ever tried, and I've been to Buffalo. The garlic wings, as many reviewers say, are the absolute must have. You can get them with any level of heat.

    Since they opened up their Boonton location I've stopped coming to Clifton as much, and would note the following in comparison:

    * Cheaper here by 10 cents per wing, 20 cents per clam.
    * Dive/neighborhood bar atmosphere, not open/airy
    * Much more mixed clientele, in terms of age, race, etc.
    * Louder - plus the music blaring from the jukebox - and MUCH more crowded. Good luck finding a place to sit.

    Service has gone downhill here - a lot of work to get the bartender's attention or to get anything corrected. I actually got attitude from the bartender last time when I was trying to pay and be on my way. My original 5-star rating dropped by 1 star when Boonton opened - like night and day, the two places - and now by another star because of my recent experiences. But the wings keep bringing it back up by a star. If this is the closer location, stop by, and good luck!

    This won't take long.

    The bangin' clams are aptly named, for sure. What could be bad about clams cooked in garlic butter, hot sauce and topped with shaved parmesan?  The garlic wings were good, but a little dry for my liking. We also had some steamed clams, which were nice and fresh, which we ended up simply dipping in the bangin' clam sauce since it was so friggin' delicious. The rest of the menu looked appealing and pleasantly quirky.

    There was a country fan feeding quarters into the jukebox, which suited us just fine since we were returning from a Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney concert in Boston. Overall, the feel inside is that of a local watering hole, with a family-friendly vibe.

    I'd gladly swing through here again when I'm in the neighborhood. Nice little joint.

    Went for the Wings and Clams on a Monday night ($0.40 a piece).  

    Luckily, and I do mean luckily, somebody just left a table and we were able to snag it.  this place has about 5 tables up front, 3 in the back + a dozen or so seats at the bar.  All the TVs were showing the Home Run Derby which was ok.

    Wings:  We went through a few of the styles.

    Blackened:  Very dry, as if they were cooked a bit too long.  Nothing interesting
    Maryland:  Ok.  The spices were nice, but much like the blackened, cooked a bit too long.
    Extra Hot:  We ended up ordering this twice.  The first batch was average, the 2nd batch was much much better.  The wings were nice and juicy.  One thing that I did  not like was that the Extra hot was just hot enough to be spicy, but not what I would label "extra hot".  Especially with Hot and Mild under it.
    On Fire:  This is literal.  This stuff is HOT HOT HOT.  Hope you have water nearby.  What I don't like is that this is the next tier over extra hot, but in reality it is more like 3 levels hotter.
    Honey Mustard:  Average.  One was cooked a bit too long.

    Clams: We had these steamed.  They were pretty run of the mill.  However, some had a bit a of sand in them :(

    Overall had a good experience, but the distance makes me doubt I will travel that far.  I have a Hooters nearby and even though the wings are fundamentally not as good, they are cheaper and right near me.

    I only went to try the wings and they were quite flavorful although some were on the skimpy side.  I would recommend the maryland with garlic wings.  Also tried the dumplings but the dipping sauce was too thick and I thought it weighed down the lightness of the dumpling.  I would have preferred a simple soy sauce with some fresh scallions thrown in.  

    The reason for the rating is that I thought the staff was quite rude as some other reviewers also noted.  No matter how good the food is I wouldn't pick this place again because of the service.  It seemed like they had some regulars there which is fine but I would think that they would want some new clientele as well.  Also the menu is totally outdated showing $1.00 draft specials.  When the bartender was asked about this discrepancy she gave a snide remark as if we, the paying client, were the dumb one.  Learn some manners ladies this is a business.

    Sharky's is a high quality wings & raw bar hidden on a corner in Clifton. Sharky's has a good selection of beers and full stock of liquor for any drink of your choice. Bloody Mary's are very good here by the way.

    Now on to the food!!!! The wings are sensational! There are plenty of flavors to choose from and for the standard buffalo wings they have levels of heat for you to choose your demise. I absolutely love the hot wings with no sauce. Serious heat without any mess, freaking fantastic! Seafood here is fresh fresh fresh. Sharky's flavors everything well but with seafood, freshness is most important to me. You can get clams on a half shell, shrimp cocktail, tuna and much more or you can get a big seafood bucket!! I've had the ahi ahi over a fresh salad probably 10 times! The menu goes beyond seafood & wings. Burgers, cheese steaks, pizza, chicken, etc.. on and on!!

    There are about a dozen flat screen tv's. Great sports bar, also has trivia games and darts.

    Also, Sharkys does take out orders which if your in Sharky's you'll notice a steady stream of people coming in for their take out order.

    It does get crowded and it does get loud at times.. but hey that's how a great sports bar gets! Go and Enjoy!

    I have to give this place 4 stars.  why?  bomb ass wings, bomb raw clams/oysters, and bomb fries.  its like having drunken food at 7pm!  Words of advice: make sure you order EVERYTHING you want the first time around.  It took us 4 attempts to FINALLY get the extra blue cheese!  oh, and their happy hour prices: $0.40 wings/clams.  Yep, thats right!  $12 bucket o' domestics!  They will be seeing my pretty face a lot more once football season begins!  DA BEARS!  

    PS, if you order the garlic wings, make sure you're not there on a first date.

    I should be kicked out of a moving car and left on the shoulder to find my own way home for not coming to Sharky's sooner. I live well within walking distance and should have been coming here for years. The beer selection is a notch above what usual dive bars serve and include Newcastle, Sam Seasonal and Cherry Wheat, along with the usual Coors Light and Rolling Rock stuff.

    40 cent wings for happy hour Monday thru Friday and all night Monday and Tuesday is nothing to scoff at. The chunky garlic wings are also unique and delicious. You gotta like garlic, but they will knock your socks off.

    Wings were excellent, beers were cheap, good times.
    The wings were good and crispy, well done. Service was a bit slow, but good - just one bartender for the whole place.
    Don't expect classy. Expect beers, wings, and lots of good Jersey folks.

    They served us rotten food, (see my pics) they refused to take it back or exchange it, our server was very rude.

    You know how sometimes clams don't open? Well they served us one of those. But it opened after being in the bottom of our dish of steamers. We ate the 6 off the top, then noticed one was upside down and leaking black stuff into the bowl. We turned it over and saw a clam filled with some brown/black goo, which had contaminated the water the other clams were in. We thought maybe it was just dirt, but it had a rather foul smell.

    I took it up to the server who was behind the bar, and very politely asked that she replace the 6 clams we hadn't eaten--not all 12, just the 6 with the dirty water in them. She very rudely told me she wouldn't, and that it was our fault for opening the clam. I told her we didnt, it had opened in the bowl, and she grudgingly agreed to replace just that one. We did not eat the remaining five.

    Mind you, she never even replaced that clam, and when I reminded her, she said "one in 12 is not bad, you shouldnt expect better".

    You know, if one of the 12  had arrived empty, I would have been fine with that. But whomever dished them up should have known better than to serve a closed one, certainly if we were expected to know, the establishment should have.

    Other than that, the experience would have been a 3 star one, I think.

    We waited at our table over 20 mins for service, but one of the customers told us we had to go up to the bar to get the woman's attention. When she did come over, we ordered a pitcher of Yuengling, 10 garlic teriyaki and 10 buffalo wings, 12 steamers, and an order of Pierogis. She raised her eyebrow and snidely asked, "is that all?" as if we were wasting her table by ordering so little. Well we are only 2 people, and we would have sat at the bar had there been room.

    The buffalo wings were waaay overcooked, deep fried to the point where the meat was glued to the bone, but the flavor was alright, nothing special.

    To be fair, the garlic teriyaki (their specialty) were excellent.

    The pierogis were pretty good, but I would have expected 6 instead of 5, and the steamers, aside from the issues above, were ok, but not as fresh as could be.

    All in all, however, to save replacing 6 clams, she lost a tip (and I have NEVER not tipped before), lost 2 customers, (we would have been back, the prices were great), and got an unfavorable yelp review. I hope it was worth saving less than $3. Also, I had planned on making this an after-work happy hour place with coworkers, but not after that.

    Sharky's is the mother effing bomb, no joke.

    This is the deal - it looks a little iffy on the outside, but step inside and the bar is PACKED, especially between 4-8 most days of the week.  Stand around, grab a beer, wait for a spot to open up at the bar, sit down, get another beer, order the wings, and have your mind freaking blown.

    Sharky's isn't just a wing and beer joint... nearly all of the food I have tried collectively with friends and my significant other has been really, really good.  Like, so good, that we have ordered seconds and racked up that bill.  Most recently we tried the "banging" clams - one of their newest specials which is lambasted on a black board behind the bar.  They were exactly that - spicy as hell and simply amazing... clams cooked perfectly (not like clams are really difficult to screw up) and accompanied with several slabs of garlic rubbed buttery bread.  The salads are surprisingly good too - try the Caesar if you are in the mood.

    It is definitely a sports bar.  Catching the game here with your friends is always a good time, the bar & bar tables are filled with people getting good and rowdy, shouting at the TV, dancing to the juke box, throwing back round after round, mowing food... my kind of place.  Aside from the TV entertainment, Sharky's is decorated with tons of stuff that appears to come from the basement of a hoarder, most of it is sports related, however, you will find some quirky pieces here and there....pretty decent eye-candy.

    The bar staff is quite accommodating once you get a seat, which at times can be difficult and you may just have to give up and order food elbow-to-elbow between two burly 50 year old men.  The back dining area is a decent option for sure, I see couples and families making their way back, especially early in the evening.

    Sharky's is a great watering hole and an awesome place for grub.. one of my favorite local spots, without a doubt.

    GREAT local bar!

    I'm not a big fan of small bars in Jersey.  Bad food, skeevy atmosphere, and sketchy faces.  Not at Sharky's.  

    Don't let its appearance or location fool you.  At a quick glace, it's a small bar in a quite neighborhood.  With a closer look, Sharky's is a bar with a great attitude and can stand up to any popular bar in the city.

    I went on a Thursday night around 9pm and trying to find a seat was like trying to find a spot on a zebra.  Well, not THAT hard since we were able to find a seat.  There were people celebrating a birthday, others watching Thursday night football, while others were chillin' with a beer.  The atmosphere was fun and drama-free.

    We ordered the calamari, curly fries, and garlic chicken wings.  ALL of the food we ordered was amazing, considering you don't go to a local bar for food.  The calamari was (surprisingly!) tender and savory, not soggy or rubbery.  The curly fries will hit the spot for any lover of anything fried and went perfect with the beers I've had.

    The garlic chicken wings is what Sharky's promotes.  It's good, but not great.  The sauce was interesting--tangy, sweet, and the garlic isn't overpowering.

    As for beer, they had a decent selection on tap and a couple of choices of bottled beer.  I had a Cricket Hill, Blue Moon, and Yuengling which were all on tap, but I wish I knew they had bottles of Guinness.  No worries, I'm going to be going back for sure.

    Last words:  A great place to bring a couple friends for good drinks, good food, and a good time.

    Went here with a buddy of mine tonight and was thoroughly satisfied. Upon pulling up to the front of the bar, we noticed it was awfully quiet and Sharky's appeared closed. To our delight, we opened the door and heard some bumpin' music and saw a quaint crowd of people relaxing, enjoying some beers, and downing tons of wings.

    We had to copy them, so as we pulled up 2 seats at the bar, we ordered their signature Chunky Garlic Wings, Curly Fries, and some Blue Moons to start the night off. It was really casual, and that's the kind of atmosphere you should expect from a low-key place like this.

    Overall, the food was superb (we actually had to pack the rest of the chicken cause we overexcited ourselves and ordered too much), the prices were very reasonable ($0.40/wing and clam) and the service was very quick and friendly.

    We plan on going again to conquer the clams. I suggest you do the same.

    The bar was packed when I first got there, not a table to be found. So my date and I got a drink and stood around awkwardly waiting for a table to open. Once we were seated, the service was very friendly and informative. The wings were delicious, but very expensive by wing standards. Jersey cost of living?
    We also got the fried pickes (YUM) and the super cheap and delicious clams. Everything was so good. I'll definitly be visiting again.

    Of note: the mixed drinks are HUGE. I ordered a Cranberry & Vodka and it was served in a pint glass.
