Review of Sharks Fish and Chicken in Jonesboro, Arkansas
Reviews
Stopped by for lunch. It’s an older building with a flashy paint job. The menu is diverse but simple, ranging from wings to burgers and fish.
I had the boneless wings. I expected a small set of chicken bites rolled in sauce and paired with fries. What I got instead was a pile of wings, each of which was big enough to be considered a chicken strip at many places. They were delicious too: hot, fresh, cooked to perfection.
My wife had a Philly Mix recommended to her by the cashier and she was not disappointed. I stole a bit and it was everything a Philly should be.
If we go back I’m going to try the $9.99 12-piece cheese sticks with our order.
Now that we got the grammar lesson out of the way, here are the facts and my opinion.
This place was busy at 11:50 and I’m not sure why. It’s just a glorified, gas station fried-counter. However, it’s on Caraway, a busy road and there are several businesses nearby. A lot of people seem to like it but it doesn’t suit my taste. The chicken tenders were very dry. I placed an order at 11:53 for chicken tenders and gizzards. I was called over after about 4 minutes to be informed that they were out of gizzards. I then ordered 3 jumbo shrimp. I finally got my number called at 12:20. It took 25 minutes for my order to be ready. Today I didn’t have anywhere I needed to be right away but I wouldn’t exactly call that lunch time friendly, especially if you have to drive away from the Caraway/Highland area to get back to work. I dined in, if you were doing a pickup order, that might be more time efficient for you.
I wouldn’t consider the shrimp to be jumbo, see picture. They fit into the cocktail sauce container, so that’s kinda small. The fries have a nice seasoning on them and the coleslaw is average. There were several dirty tables when I went to sit down. Granted they were busy but somebody could’ve wiped down the tables. Mostly everything here is going to be fried, so if you are watching your cholesterol, BP, etc., this is not the place for you. Next time, IF I go back, I’ll just order the cheeseburger. Also, there are several misspellings on the digital menu and some on the paper menu, it’s not a big deal but, in general, it’s just not a good look. What with, Google, Grammarly, dictionaries, and spell check in the palms of everybody’s hands all it takes is a quick second to check before mass printing menus.
Lastly, they don’t serve sharks here, either on the menu or if they swim in and want to order something. I just like teasing about how they chose to name the location. So, don’t come here expecting to be served sharks or expecting to be served if you are a shark.
I ordered the 2pc fried catfish combo which doesn’t come with a drink. That seems a bit odd at the $14 price point. After taxes and adding a drink, it was $19 and some change for lunch.
I’ll go back to try the wings, but it’s too pricy to go very often at lunch.
