Great wings and a ton of sauce options, Sharkey's is always full on weekend nights! Parking in Boonton In general can be a challenge, but if you find a spot, this is definitely a great place to get food and drinks.

Went to watch Duke/UNC hoops game. Bar will not put game sound on. The server offered to put subtitles on. Had to listen to rock music. If you are interested in watching a game and want to hear the crowd, don't go to Sharkys. Stay home or go to Millers Ale House or another place. What a shame. If you want to be a sports bar, then create a sports experience!

It's all about what you seek. If you are looking for a busy, bustling bar and grill, by all means it's perfect. Food is adequate. Service ok.

Lera start with how I ordered 6 wings and had to wait 35 mins just for the food to come out. Next, there was so many mix ups it made no sense. When time came for the bill the server said she couldn't split a bill. Keep in mind that was never asked for her to do, we came 30 after a party of 4 that was already there n just happen to sit next to them because we knew them. So by right they should have got there own bill and we should have had ours. Common sense would have told you that if the group ordered separately The bill should have been separate. once the manager for there she SLAMMED a signed stating np splitting bills. We then tried to explain to her we were our own table and they were there own, before we could finish she cut us off and said we were trying to split it. Explaining they ordered before we even got there and the tables were separated she started yelling and spitting all over the food and drinks still saying the same thing. She then said the first four had their own bill and we had our own. which added fuel to the fire because this is what we were saying from the start !!! After that we could hear her telling our server hurry up and get then out of here. I don't know what kind of training they get to become a manager but Susan needs to be fired or have some kind of repercussions because thats not how you speak with customers especially when you were LOUD AND WRONG.

The manager is nasty. She's slamming the table and yelling in the establishment. She was yelling so hard that spit was flying out of her mouth onto our food and drinks. Then the "manager" starts talking s.h*t right next to the table saying to "get us out of here. She gives ZERO f*ck.s" and continues to say more rude things. People from other tables were looking at how she was acting and shaking their heads. Only giving one star because that's the lowest I can give. Never again. I feel bad for Olivia because the lady was yelling at her like she was a child. She was extra tipped and we appreciate her service.

No, no and no! I keep trying to make it work because Olivia the waitress and Shannon the bartender are amazing workers. But today the food was wrong and the bill was wrong and the manger Susan had the nerve to argue and spit on me! Olivia didn't even want to take my tip and that should never happen. I will not be back and if you're black don't even go I think my color was the real issue.

There are two things that Sharkey's does great: wings and cheesesteaks.Literally every single time I've strayed from those two things, I'm always disappointed. Their interpretation of chicken tacos, for instance, consists of flour tortillas with three whole, soggily breaded chicken tenders on them -- what on earth?? I guess that's what I get for ordering tacos at a sportsbar when Boonton has at least four delicious Latin American restaurants down the street.Another issue with Sharkey's is the chatter/TV/noise volume. The high metal ceiling creates an echo, AND THAT MEANS THE RESTAURANT IS ALWAYS EXTREMELY LOUD, even when there aren't that many customers.It's a real shame for me because although I live within walking distance, I never want to eat here due to the deafening noise inside, and I really wish they would install some ceiling baffles to dampen the sound.As for take-out, their service is usually slow. Pickup/payment is handled by the bartender (who is usually busy) rather than the hostess (who is usually not busy).

Love the wings,GARRET was great and attentiveBartender was helpfulThanks, we will be backThe reason for 4 stars is the lack of parking
Sharkys is a gem. It's known for its wings and fast to order seafood in a shell. It's one of the better sports bars to have beer wings and a hospitable setting. Bring your kids
Wings are good, although will ask for them to be extra crispy next time. Lots of sauce options.Service at the bar was excellent but the previous time I went to the restaurant the table service was not very attentive. Might have been an off night.

Well got the wrong order again. Bartender was attentive but didn’t really rectify the problem. Comfortable large bar. Usually their wings are decent but wrong food will rank low. 5 times there and 3 times orders were wrong or food cold. A shame cause when I got the right order in the past the wings were pretty good. Not sure there will be a 6th time.Parking: Depends what time you get there for street parking and no lot.

We loved the burgers! The kids enjoyed playing games and had the freedom to move around. The TV was louder than expected and a little overwhelming with all the TV shows playing and no sound related to what was on. Parking was not that easy but ok if you don't mind a short walk.Kid-friendliness: Lots of games for the kids to play and win prizes. The kids enjoyed the menu options. The crowd was pleasant for a sports bar.
Great wings
