About Shark's Fish & Chicken

Shark's Fish & Chicken is a regional fast food chain that originated in Chicago, Illinois, and specializes in Chicago-style fried chicken and fish. Locations typically offer a broad menu of fried seafood (such as catfish, whiting, perch, and shrimp), chicken wings, mixed chicken dinners, and sides like fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and okra, often seasoned with the Chicago-style lemon pepper and mild sauce popular in South Side takeout spots. The Baltimore, Maryland store appears under the name Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken and operates as a counter-service, takeout-oriented restaurant serving this same style of food.

A charge with the descriptor "CHICAGO STYLE SHA BALTIMORE MD" on a card statement is most likely from the Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken location at 4115 Patterson Ave, Baltimore, MD, where customers commonly pay for fried chicken, fish dinners, wings, and combo meals. Depending on what was ordered, charges can range from small individual meals to larger family platters, and may include taxes, delivery fees, or tips if ordered via third‑party delivery platforms. In some cases, an initial pending amount or authorization could differ slightly from the final posted total if items were adjusted at the counter.

To verify or resolve questions about this charge, the best approach is to compare the transaction date and amount on your statement with any receipts, text or email confirmations from food delivery apps, or your bank’s transaction details. If the date and amount match a time you ordered takeout from a Chicago-style chicken or fish spot in Baltimore, the charge is likely legitimate. If you still have concerns, you can call the Baltimore restaurant directly (the Patterson Ave location lists a local phone number on menu and directory sites) or contact your delivery platform if you ordered through Grubhub, Uber Eats, or similar. If you do not recognize the charge at all, your bank can help you dispute it and monitor for additional unauthorized transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show “CHICAGO STYLE SHA BALTIMORE MD” instead of Shark's Fish & Chicken?

Card processors often truncate and abbreviate merchant names. In this case, “CHICAGO STYLE SHA” is a shortened form of Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken, a local Baltimore location of the Shark's Fish & Chicken chain. The Baltimore address or city (Baltimore, MD) usually appears after the truncated name in the descriptor.

What types of purchases typically generate charges from Shark's Fish & Chicken in Baltimore?

Most charges come from in‑store takeout orders or delivery orders for fried chicken wings, catfish or whiting platters, seafood combos, and family meals. Individual meals are usually in the low‑ to mid‑teens in dollars, while larger family combos with multiple pieces of fish or wings can run significantly higher, especially when delivery fees and tips are included.

Can Shark's Fish & Chicken place a temporary or pending charge that changes later?

Yes. If the order is processed through a delivery service or a card terminal that pre‑authorizes an estimated amount, you may see a pending charge that later adjusts to the final total after all items, taxes, and any tip are confirmed. This is normal for many restaurants and should settle to the exact receipt amount within a few business days.

How can I confirm what I bought from Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken for this charge?

Check any paper receipt you received at pickup, order confirmations or receipts in your delivery app, and email or SMS notifications around the transaction date. Matching the timestamp and total amount on your bank statement with these records is usually the quickest way to verify what was purchased.

How do I contact the Baltimore Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken location about a billing issue?

Look up “Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken 4115 Patterson Ave Baltimore” in an online map or directory to find the current phone number and hours. Call and ask to speak with a manager, providing the transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of the card. They can search their point‑of‑sale system to confirm the order and help correct any obvious errors, such as duplicate charges.

Does Shark's Fish & Chicken offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

No, Shark's Fish & Chicken locations, including the Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken in Baltimore, operate as traditional fast food/takeout restaurants. They do not offer meal subscriptions or memberships, so any recurring pattern of similar charges likely reflects multiple separate food purchases, not an automatic subscription fee.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken charge at all?

First, confirm that no one in your household used your card for takeout or a delivery order from a Chicago-style chicken or fish restaurant around the transaction date. If no one recognizes the purchase, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report the charge as potentially fraudulent, request a card replacement, and dispute the transaction if needed.

Can I get a refund if there was a mistake with my order or I was overcharged?

Refunds are handled directly by the restaurant or, if you ordered through a delivery app, by that platform’s support. If the error is obvious (for example, you were double‑charged or items were missing), contact the Baltimore Chicago Style Shark's Fish & Chicken location or open a support ticket in your delivery app as soon as possible with photos, receipts, and details. They may issue an in‑store refund, credit, or have the platform process an adjustment to your card.
