About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
This high energy sports bar with a hang ten beach vibe delivers quality, comfort, and entertainment in a casual, clean, bright, welcoming environment. Named in honor of our award-winning island-style lager and inspired by the legendary beach bars that once dotted the Atlantic Coast, Land Shark Bar & Grill is the epicenter of escapism by day or night. With a ode to a golden era surf culture and a wink to those original sharks who can swim on land – immortalized in the Jimmy Buffett’s party anthem “Fins”– LandShark Bar & Grill provides the perfect blend of cold draft beer, frozen concoctions and comfort food with a coastal twist amidst the action-packed energy of a full tilt sports bar. We add genuine hospitality, live music and maybe some palm trees to transport visitors to a new latitude. A laid-back place to escape, let loose, and celebrate life. A favorite hang-out for both visitors and locals who enjoy the beach bar vibe and a place to gather with friends and meet some new

    Went there for restaurant week for lunch. The food was great! My personal favorites were the elote and the broccolini. The steak with chimichurri was great and they served enough fries for me and someone else. Lisa was an awesome server and made the experience even better. Expect us for dinner soon.

    Even if you don't proclaim yourself as a Parrothead, this is a must if you like a fun atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. I recommend the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and the Carne Asada Steak Tacos. Plus, the resort is amazing! I'll be back every year.

    We arrived with reservations for 8 and they had no table open and split our party. That was fine, as we were close to each other. Not a big deal. We found two hairs in our food, and drinks took 45 minutes. For a restaurant with only 15-20 tables, service was slow and disorganized. There was a Pink concert that night our party and several others were going to and they did not seem adequately prepared for the volume. Our server was doing the best he could and I could tell he needed more support from management that I saw wandering around but not really clearing tables or helping.

    Dear Eli, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad your party could sit close together, but we apologize for the negative aspects of your experience. We will address your concerns with our team to ensure better preparedness for high-traffic events. We appreciate your understanding and hope to offer a smoother experience should you visit again.

    Did not honor reservation although they agreed that it had been made. Said they were taking no reservations and shouldn’t have left ability to make reservations on Open Table available (their mistake yet still didn’t honor reservation). Eventually sat us after trying to split our group of four and then we showed them a table that would work for our party. Disappointing replacement for JSix.
