    I'm really sorry I must drop my rating for Sharks again. While most of the wait staff are friendly and helpful this dive continues to be way below average with a real weak spot in management and the kitchen. Save your money and don't spend it here! Our waitress, (Nicki) Morgan et all are exceptional very friendly and helpful with out hovering. Plenty of parking, easy to find. Had a poor experience here tonight one of the members of my group had a legitimate complaint about the food and the waitress refused to take it off the check after asking for a manager who did take the bad food off the bill the waitress complained that we cost her money! Very unprofessional and disappointing as we are here every week and have spent too much money here on average food. This is the lowest rating I've given any establishment. Too bad The food is consistently bad, tried the chili last night and had indigestion before I left this establishment. If it weren't for the pool tables and my Monday night league I would never go back. Very disappointing and getting worse! Don't spend your money here!

    The food and atmosphere is great here. But the service is trash. I’m not willing to rank them 5 stars in any category, they don’t deserve any positivity for how embarrassed we were. After we sat down we were served drinks within the first 3-5 minutes, we already knew what we wanted to order in that time frame. The gentleman told us our server would be right over to take our order. That’s fine. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes later, nothing. Not a follow up or I’ll be right with you or anything. Notice in the photos it was not very busy at all. In between serving drinks it would’ve been nice to do a courtesy check? 20 minutes later we made the decision to leave after paying for my wife’s Dr. Pepper. I wouldn’t have minded waiting for the food if it was being prepared or if it was cooking, but we hadn’t heard a peep since getting our drinks. THEN our server finally approached us, after we started to get up. Not even a “hello” or “sorry for the wait”. Instead she’s asks us, “Are you guys ready to order?” This place needs to better train their staff. They need a training program, specifically on manners or courtesy. So I respond, “we’ve been ready to order”. To which my wife added, “No thanks, I think we’re going to leave after I pay for my drink”.

    Shark's on Shawnee Mission is a huge entertainment center for all family members. Many pool tables, dart boards, foosball tables and televisions. Plenty of seating and space to enjoy Sunday football Pastrami sandwich and chicken wings were hot and tasty. House baked chips were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and table waitress by Kylie was exceptional. Great independently owned neighborhood business to support.

    Hadn't been here many many years. Decided to stop in and try out the food. We were really surprised how good the menu looked and glad to see there was so much more than just your typical bar food menu. Our waitress was nice and very helpful. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and they were delicious. I had sheppard's pie and it was very good as well. Will certainly go back to try out more food items. The drink menu was very impressive as well.

    Let me explain the rating. Food 4 : Service 0. We went in around 7pm, it was not busy. The person that took our order was Victoria. I can not call her a server because she has no concept of the definition. Horrible listening skills, sarcastic attitude, unprofessional demeanor, and an overall disinterest in what she should be doing. The downhill slide continued when we only ordered water to drink. She started to walk away and we all looked at her with wonder when she didn’t offer us menus. As afterthought she turned around and in a snarky voice asked if we wanted menus. The food took quite a while to come out. When it arrived we still had no silverware or napkins. after about 6-7 minutes she came over and asked if everything was ok. We had to ask for silverware and napkins. They showed up about 10 minutes later. One person in our party ordered a cue ball dessert. After about 30 minutes went by, Victoria said she forgot to order it because another party ordered 7 pizzas and her head was all over the place. So another 15 minutes goes by and the dessert shows up. At this point I asked for the check. That also seemed to surprise her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal. I went up to the bar to pay because I had no idea how long it would be before we saw her again. We had full vision of the pool tables and bar area and she was very rarely visible. Needless to say I would go back for the food, however if she was our server I would find somewhere else to sit.

    My review is from February's weekend visit. All pool tables were taken by the time we got there (7ish).. at the moment a group was finishing up using theirs, so we got lucky. Get there early if you are trying to play on the pool tables. Every time I come here, i order the buffalo chicken pizza, My fav. Mixed drinks need major improvement. Expect slow service as they are understaffed.

    I'm very much an amateur pool player, but that doesn't matter when I'm up against my friends. You'll never wait very long for a table because they quite literally have dozens. Most of the tables can be reserved and are added to your tab, but if you want to go the more casual route and only play a round or two, there are plenty of manual tables that take quarters.

  • 3/5 Angela Shopper - Wingman RE Associates - K. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to hang with friends. - they either cant get enough staff or choose not to but usually you can count on one visit by per hour so make sure to have your order ready and ask up front for anything you might want cuz once the food is delivered its rare they will be back to check on you .. mostly i am guessing because there's only 1 person to take care of half the floor and 1 more person to take care of the rest. Plan to just walk up to the front to ask for what you need or your ticket - otherwise just sit back and wait patiently .

    I used to be a very loyal customer. Up until they stopped doing the open tables until 5pm if you spent $5 or more. And since then they have just went down hill. The servers are lazy and rude. And the few really good servers they had no longer work there. And I do not blame them. The food is fantastic if you are lucky to get it while its still warm. Over all I'd rather go to shooters or side pockets.

    Its amazing how many times I've given this bar so many chances and still come up with the same result. Tonight was my final visit to this let down, poor excuse for a bar! Your waitresses have no clue what service is and it's sad! I've been over charged and left high and dry on my drink and food order. There is absolutely no urgency on getting customers drinks, even on a slow night, let alone getting their ticket riguy!

    This is just an interesting place to go on the weekends, and I’m sure even more interesting on the weekdays. When our waitress greeted us, I had to look back at the name of the place because I could have sworn we were at hooters. No shame, I put my boots on for work every day, she just does it a little differently. I didn’t go in expecting the worst service of my life, but that is what we received. If you’re going, just go for the pool and ice cold Coors Light and you’ll probably leave just how you came in, slightly drunk and smelling like cigarettes.

    Pool Hall. Family friendly. The drinks were good and a great price. We had pizzas, they were good and reasonably priced. Our first waitress was terrible. She had everything mixed up. Then a second waitress came but she soon disappeared. We were being very pleasant with them so we (6 of us) didn’t know what the problem was. The 3rd waitress that came wasn’t sure what was happening either. But she got everything straightened out.

    We stopped in to try out a new eating and entertainment spot. They're a pool table and dart tournament place. If that's what you're looking for, they get 5 🌟. We tried the appetizer, mini fried burritos, and they were typical bar food. Just average, at best. Overall, I'd rate them 4 out of 5.

  • 3/5 Kimberly W. 5 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    The food is good but the service isn't. Every time we go here, it takes a good 10-15 min to even be acknowledged. I'm not sure why since we usually sit close to the bar where several servers, management, and bartender can see us, but it's like we don't exist. This happens every time we go here, so we don't dine here often. Service was a LOT better about 6 years ago, and I enjoyed going here, but its changed, and they are in no hurry to service you.

    Hardly ever a wait for a pool table. Staff was very tentative. Pot roast sliders was amazing can't wait to return and try the chicken fried steak sliders.

    Come here at night and this place turns into the Salty Splatoon, everyone looks like they could murder you with their pinky. But they are also the nicest people ever. Service was good and fast, not sure why people are mad.

    I called Sharks on a Monday or Tuesday to ask if they could accommodate my family and friends after my dads funeral that was on Saturday. They saved one section of the restaurant for all of us. They were very accommodating and attentive to everyone of us and there was only one server but she made sure everyone was taken care of. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate Sharks and their manager and server for taking care of all of us.

  • 1/5 Brennan W. 9 months ago on Google
    Used to play here all the time, came back today and so far, I've been waiting for 40min for a waiter/ waitress to come take my order. Haven't even seen one and I have been watching for someone. Ridiculous. Won't be coming back. Update: ended up leaving after an hour. The waitress had looked at me multiple times, cleared tables next to my fiances and I's table. Never got served. That is actually unacceptable and shocking as when I used to go, there was an actual service team there. Don't come here if you plan on getting a drink or food with your game.

  • 5/5 Mitchell S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, lots of pool tables/dart boards awsome staff. Glad it's a 2 min walk from home lol. Have been going through the menu since I've moved here and not one thing was I like " nah never ordering that again". Must have a chef back there.

  • 4/5 Tiffany A. 1 year ago on Google
    Listen we went here of the Super Bowl watch. It was awesome and the waiter was excellent!!! The best part for me was the dessert, I been thinking about that half baked cookie every since. I don’t drink but my family did and the nachos were okay but the chicken was not all that, next time I would probably get beef nachos instead. Great place to gather and have a little fun.

    Met a friend here while in town for a convention. Super friendly staff, the fried pickles were delicious, and the country fried sliders were tasty and filling. The drinks were great, the place was big, but full, and everyone (my friend and myself included) seemed to be having a good time 😊

  • 4/5 Burnell B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a Holiday get together recently at this business. It was a great time playing pool and laughing. The food was great but the service was even better. Mari was excellent and patient with our large group.

  • 3/5 Latanna S. 1 year ago on Google
    The bar is really spacious, the bathrooms are clean and there’s an outdoor area for smoking! It seems hit or miss on whether the service will be decent. The last time we were in, the “manager” threatened to kick us out and accused everyone of having attitudes. There were about 20 of us and if most of us hadn’t already been served, we would’ve left. We’ve had a few large parties there and it’s usually a fine time. The sliders are always a big hit with our group.

    We didn't eat any food so cannot comment on food. Drinks were good. Enjoyed playing pool and darts. Waitresses handle small area of tables so if you move around you'll need to tab out and then meet your new waitress. All machines require quarters so expect to turn cash into quarters.

    Great place for drinks, darts and pool! Had a great time, tried the fish tank!

  • 2/5 Don H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good for playing pool and darts, food is good… Service is horrible… drinks are trash.

  • 5/5 Zack M. 2 years ago on Google
    So glad I found this fabulous establishment! Free pool! Good food, data and foosball galore!!! Definitely have great entertainment here and the service is quite friendly and on point!

  • 3/5 Dougie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Hit and miss, boneless wings are amazing, but other things like pot roast sliders and gyro are not good at all, probably because they were served cold. The entire atmosphere of this place has changed over the past two years. Still a fun place to go play pool or darts. I enjoy Sharks, but my wife does not...but she likes her food served hot.

  • 5/5 Brian B. 2 years ago on Google
    Super fun place. Really nice atmosphere. Everyone there was friendly and chill. Met some cool people.

  • 4/5 Monica S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super good food but they have forgot a couple of things out that I had ordered. I should have just checked the bag. Don’t let this stop you from trying them. They are nice and as I said, their food is yummy.

  • 5/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great times! We attended a major weekend event, the staff rocked it. And just when you think you've had a great time drinking...then you have the food. Every item I ordered was excellent! Yes...they do all the bar food, however they killed it with a full broad menu.

  • 1/5 Shane H. 2 years ago on Google
    Has gone down hill pretty quickly. Was a fun place before, but not anymore.

  • 3/5 Gordon H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on Saturday night for steak special. Steak was tough, service was slow, was served sour cream and horseradish on my salad instead of blue cheese. Waited 15-20 minutes between drinks.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved it. I paid a little more then I thought I was but it was money well spent. I had an amazing server... For thw life of me I cannot remember her name.. But also I dealt with Crash... She was amazing also... Good times...great drinks... I had someone buy me a apple pie shot.??? I think that was what he called it.. Holy hell that was good... The pizza was perfect with a little kick.. And them wings... Y'ALL them wings are slap yo momma good. I just wish I could remember my servers name she was the best

    Truly disappointed. Service was TRASH. Consistent problems with the Dragon’s ascent machine (invalid tickets, machine eating money, broken buttons/toggles) and the management offers ZERO help when you finally get to talk to one. Customer service is clearly not their forte…
