Sharko's Bbq - Downers Grove

Went for a quick lunch break on a moving day. Absolutely sustained us for the rest of the heavy lifting. I tried the smoked turkey plate and loved all of the sauce options. My BF got the brisket mac and liked it. We both also enjoyed the lemonade (tasted like my childhood! , coleslaw, and green beans carrots. If I weren't moving away, I'd be back (especially for that lemonade...

The best brisket you can get for the price, amazing lemonade that tastes homemade, and absolutely killer sauces. Try the Carolina sauce, it's like honey mustard's way cooler older brother, and it goes with everything. The cake was good. Good balance of frosting and cake. Prices haven't gone up that much from when I went to the Naperville location, which was probably 3 or 4 years ago now. Dining room is a bit cramped at this location, best to take out. There are a couple of tables, though.

We ordered for take out for the first time last night and wow everything was so delicious! We had left overs tonight for dinner and it was just as delicious. So happy we finally tried Sharko’s. Definitely will be returning!

It's OK. Atmosphere had a chatoic and disorganized feeling walking in. The prices seem inconsistent. Ordered online for asap, it was ready in 5 minutes. I guess just order in the store. The sauce regalia is off too, several different branded (odd name) sauces at .25 a cup. Hot, medium, mild and a spicy vinegar work just fine, allow people as much as they prefer.I walked out feeling nickeled and dimed and the quality did not live up to the cost. Beans weren't cooked, coleslaw was lacking, mac and cheese was OK, but i dont understand cost of coleslaw being equal to cost mac and cheese. Meat seemed day old, trayed and reheated.I'd prefer a more concise menu with fresh daily smoked meats and limited quality fresh sides. If you're not selling out bbq daily, something is awry.

I always get the pulled pork Mac and cheese. It is delicious. So are their sides. If food could give me an orgasm, sharkos bbq would have my legs shaking.
