Sharky’s American Grill Vintage Park eatery oers fun, oceanic atmosphere W ith an ocean-themed restaurant and menu, as well as a bar and patio, Sharky’s American Grill can be enjoyed

While Rosa handles the nances of their businesses, Ronald said he is passionate about designing the restaurants. Some of the restaurant’s most unique decor includes a large sh tank and a great white shark hanging from the ceiling, he noted. “We travel the world and in the United States as well, so we see concepts that seem attractive, and we always remember specic things from those concepts,” Ronald said. The Perezes, along with Rosa’s father, also own two other restaurants—Chimichurri’s South American Grill and J. Christopher’s Pizza-Pasta—both in the Kingwood area. Rosa’s father has worked in the restaurant industry for about 50 years. Despite the trio’s combined industry experience, Ronald said drawing patrons to the Vintage Park eatery has been a challenge. He said he hopes to get the word out so customers can experience the restaurant’s unique atmosphere and menu. “Sharky’s is a place where everybody can go, and we have something for every single group of people,” Ronald said.

by patrons of all ages, co-owner Ronald Perez said. “[Customers] have an option for the family, for the kids, for the couple, for the elders and also for the people who want to be in the bar. ... I believe Sharky’s [in] Vintage [Park] caters to every single group of customers that I’ve just mentioned,” Ronald said. Located in Vintage Park, Sharky’s American Grill is owned by husband and wife Ronald and Rosa Perez. The couple opened the eatery in August, while the original location—Sharky’s Waterfront Grill—opened in Kingwood in June 2019. Seasonal seafood selections as well as pasta, burgers and salads make up Sharky’s menu. A customer favorite is the “Shark Bites,” Rosa said, which are stued, fried shrimp served with chipotle sauce. Sharky’s also has wine, beer and cocktails, such as “Shark-tinis,” “Shark-a-ritas” and sh bowls, which serve two or more people.
