Relaxed and friendly vibe when we walked in, then delicious curried conch and pan-fried snapper in some kind of sauce I can't stop thinking about was whipped up, along with some icy red stripes. I bought a $5 conch shell from the woman who has a "shop" next door to always remind me of this yummy meal.

This wonderful little place serves excellent food at a very reasonable price. Great service, comfortabled shaded outdoor dining. The spanish omelette is by far one of the best tasting things I have ever eaten. If you are in Negril, this is a TOP PICK place to eat!!

We tried the lobster and the shrimp dishes and they were both fantastic. The fresh fish dishes were also excellant. Good times on the cliffside, real Jamaica at its finest. Have a bite to eat and then walk down the road and hit all the nice little bars for a beverage and conversation.

My cousin and I visited Tensing Pen, a resort just across from Shark's Restaurant. We were on a quest for authentic Jamaican food. So, we ventured into the quaint and friendly community just outside of Tensing Pen and found ourselves at Shark's Restaurant. The best I could describe my experience was "Love at First Bite." I had the Curried Lobster,... More

Most reviews talk about the great Jamaican food at Sharks. Not to be missed are the excellent fresh natural juices. I usually stay on the Negril Cliffs not far from Sharks. A refereshing juice stop is just the thing. Friendly service from Shark also makes a stop here well worthwhile. Seating is far enough back from the road to be... More

Sharks is a place we stumbled into because it was right across from our hotel, Tensing Pen. The food is fantastic! The curried conch is good, but if you want the most delicious thing you have ever tried, go for the fried snapper - unbelievable, with a sauce/gravy that is killer! It takes some time, as do most spots in... More

We travel to the west end of Negril at least once a year, and Shark's is our favorite food hands down. Juliete does the best Jerk Chick, and Brown stew fish we have had. She also has the coldest Red Stripes in the Negril. Our last trip we ate there, whether lunch or dinner, every day. They are located across... More

My wife and I walked to Shark's from Citronella (a very short walk to the north) after it was recommended to us by a friend. The restaurant itself is off the road a bit, but you'll see the sign (photo attached). This being our first time in Jamaica I was looking to experience some real, authentic Jamaican food, but wasn't... More
