Nice to have a Chicago owner in the Austin area. Sharks is not my go to while living in Chitown but definitely it's a good favorite. I wish they would improve their dining area. Come on guys. You're not in the hood areas of Chicago, you're in Austin

Best gizzards and wings I’ve had in years. Forget the chain restaurants, this place is our new go to. The food was great, homestyle portions. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. There were a lot of folks who took their orders to go, but the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable to eat in. The food is also reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. I definitely recommend this place if you want comfort food.

New spot in old Springdale, really good! Got the chicken tender dinner and they do not hold back. Big chicken tenders fried to perfection, seasoned fries and I’m not a big cole slaw guy but it was solid. Friendly staff too, will be back!

THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN AUSTIN!! You’re going to drive into the neighborhood and think “idk about this.” But this is where I need you to be brave and trust the process. It will only cost you about 15 minutes of your life and you’ll be outta there in no time. I’ve had their fried chicken three different times over the course of 1 yr and each time I have NOT been let down. Yes. You want the seasoning on too this is not up for debate! The chicken is fried to perfection. Not over battered like Church’s or Popeyes. Just like somebody’s old ahh grandma used to do in her cast iron skillet. You won’t see any grandmas back there frying the chicken but whoever is frying it had mastered the science of perfect fried chicken. I have not NEEDED to try anything else on the menu because I’m obsessed with the chicken wings. Try it and tell my I’m lying.

Good wing spot!! I go where the food is great. It's not fancy but the food is delicious. Chicago based mild wing sauce is yummy. The lemon pepper sauce is hitting. The fries and wings were hot and fresh. I can't wait to try more. Nice gem off Springdale. Check them out.

I come here to get lunch. It's close to the job site, and the food is prepared within ten to fifteen minutes. I get their catfish and shrimp lunch special each time, and each time, it is fantastic. I've started calling ahead to reduce waiting at the restaurant, and that allows me to return to work on time. I told my coworkers about the place, and now they're ordering from there as well.
