    We have been coming to Shark’s for shared family meals and gatherings since the price used to be $21.90😂, I haven’t left a review for a long time so here is my take… It was great, never missed a beat. Sharks buffet is consistently delivering good value and tasty options. We choose sharks every time when trying to decide where to take visiting friends and family out for dinner where we all get what we paid for and some, my family come to sharks for buffet atleast 4-5 times a year and that is to celebrate one of our family members birthdays and to take advantage of the free bday cake the kids receive, usually too full so we love that we can take it home and enjoy at another time.. Staff members are polite, courteous and very attentive to cleaning and clearing tables We will always come back, Cheers
