Do you also smell the tempting aroma of fresh food? Let’s find out what’s cooking. Here, we have listed the all-time Best Shark Tank Food Products, what they sell, and how they are doing these days. Apologies in advance, because you are about to go on a delicious trip of mouthwatering food adventures.
Wicked Good Cupcakes
Cupcakes in a mason jar are more like a piece of paradise trapped in a glass container. As the name suggests, the desserts are wicked good in taste—they’re Shark Tank-approved after all!
A hardworking mother-daughter duo, Tracey Noonan and Danielle Vilagie, started their venture in 2011 and marched through the Shark Tank gates in the fourth season in 2013. The business saw an impressive growth of 600% in the following year. After days and nights of hard work, the company expanded into a 21,000-square-foot facility, growing from a home kitchen. Nearly 30 new employees joined the team.
A turning point came when Wicked Good Cupcakes started to partner with brands like Cinnabon. Then, in 2021, it was acquired by Hickory Farms, and the story changed forever.
Today, they have expanded their offerings and sell delicious cupcakes, wine gift sets, birthday party jars, corporate branded jars, and much more.
Bantam Bagels
Mini cream cheese-filled bagels by a husband-and-wife couple came on Shark Tank in season 6. They offered different flavors, including classic cream cheese, chocolate chip, and cinnamon sugar. They played with their menu of dishes, offering delicious breakfast options apart from the classic bagels, like bagel balls and stuffed bagel bites.
Lori showed interest in their business and offered a deal. In the following four years, Elyse and Nick swiftly grew their revenue to $45 million!
However, even after seeing great success initially, their business went down. And eventually the owners had to shut down their beloved mini bagel venture.
Pipcorn
Another mini food, which, by the way, is still in business and doing GREAT, is Pipcorn. The company was founded by Jennifer, Jeff, and Teresa Martin.
Apart from their small size, what makes Pipcorn stand out is that the shells are very small and delicate in comparison to regular popcorn. So there’s no risk of thick pieces getting stuck in your teeth and making you uncomfortable. Apart from delicate popcorn, they offer cheese balls, crackers, and dippers too.
Their soft mini natural snack touched the heart of Shark Barbara and won a deal out of her not-so-soft shark jaws. An overnight dream made its way to real realities, achieving huge success.

Bubba’s Q Boneless Ribs
Al Baker, an ex-NFL player, scored a touchdown goal in the field of business. The company sells high-quality boneless, smoked ribs, and adding to the list, they now sell other BBQ essentials like sauces, rubs, and sides.
After impressing Daymond John, the company grew from $154,000 to $16 million in sales in just three years. Not just that, it made major deals with retailers and restaurants. It is also available at Walmart.
Cousins Maine Lobster
Two cousins, Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac, came in search of their third cousin on Shark Tank. With their authentic Maine lobster dishes that they sold from a truck—actually, just “a truck”—they impressed Shark Barbara Corcoran.
Beginning from one truck, they are now spread across the U.S. They expanded their menu and now sell crab cakes, scallops, and other yummy seafood too.

Moink
Lucinda Cramsey started the company Moink, which delivers customizable subscription boxes of meat to customers. Their meat comes from family-run farms, so it is all natural and finger-licking good.
Their products include ribeye steaks, bacon, chicken breasts, pork chops, and gourmet sausages. And since there is no middleman, costs remain low.
The business grew rapidly when the two sharks, Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran, as if all they needed was a little push from the best, joined their venture.
Nuts ‘N More
Founded by Neil Cameron, Dennis Iannotti, and Peter Ferreira, Nuts ‘N More offers tasty nut butters high in protein and low in sugar. On Shark Tank, Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec offered $250,000 for 35% equity in their business, and a deal was signed.
Their appearance in Shark Tank made them reach tremendous success in the market. They started distributing over GNC, Whole Foods, and Vitamin Shoppe, and gained a lot more customers very soon.

Three Jerks Jerky
Another in the list of Best Shark Tank Food Products is Three Jerks Jerky. Founded by two college friends, Steve and Mark, the company offers jerky made with filet mignon. And the good thing is, they have such a long list of delicious flavors, you’ll be sure to find your favorite.
They offer a wonderful, healthier alternative to traditional snacks. These guilt-free snacks are high in protein content with no artificial preservatives.
The company is now available at Whole Foods, Costco, and Amazon, spreading the goodness of premium jerky.
Kodiak Cakes
A brand that declined a deal from the sharks and created a success of their own, Kodiak Cakes is owned by Joel Clark and Cameron Smith. It is a family-owned business. They make some of the most nutritious products with wholesome ingredients.
Easy-to-prepare pancake mixes, waffles, oatmeal, and other baked goods are offered by the brand. Their products are so good that in 2018, Kodiak Cakes was the best-selling pancake mix at Target.
Spoonful of Comfort
Spoonful of Comfort, founded by Marti Wymer, is a comfort food brand. It sells love and care in the form of their customers’ favorite food items.
The business appeared in season 8 of Shark Tank, and although they secured no deals from the sharks, they secured success on their own terms.
They are well known for their great product range, including soup, cookies, and other comforts. They make special holiday and seasonal packages for celebratory times.
