Took myself on a solo night and glad I did! I got a boil of sausage, shrimp, mussels, and snow crab legs w/ shell special sauce (mild)....perfect balance of all the flavors, had a little kick (I'm not good with spice) that was a the perfect amount...spices, garlic, butter, lemon pepper, old bay mixes was great. Food was all cooked well, corn and potatoes added good substance. Fried oysters melt in your mouth as they should. Wings were good....could come just for those as a meal. Also great, very friendly service, seemed like a staff that worked well together, owner was welcoming and involved around the restaurant....definitely a place I will come back and bring friends.

When I tell you that I had the most disturbing experience this evening after placing an order through Grub Hub for 2 orders of their fried jumbo shrimp, I can’t even express what an understatement that is.I’m actually contemplating going to an ER to make sure I didn’t swallow any of the sharp METAL I found fried into the batter of one of my shrimp. I think I would have felt something so sharp against my teeth before swallowing but I am so anxious right now I’m not sure and I don’t really know what to do in this moment but report this to all of you. I’m thinking maybe I should wait to see if I develop any pain. Again, I’m not sure what to do.I’m just going to attach the photos to this review so you can all see for yourselves. Before this happened, I was really enjoying my food too. Now I’m just in panic mode. BEWARE!!!Ps: I contacted the restaurant to inform them of my finding and urged them to run into the kitchen and dispose of their batter and to throw out anything that was already battered. If anyone does in fact swallow something like this, they may be in trouble.The woman I spoke to told me the manager was not there and I have no idea what their role there even is but I hope they take my phone call serious to protect other guest.She even went on to say that she thought she might know what it was based on the description I gave her. This would imply that this piece of metal came from something that is regularly in their kitchen. I’ll attach unedited photos so you all can see for yourselves.

They said New England has the best seafood due to proximity to the sea and ocean. So, we tried to have some. We were in Stamford and dined in Shells Seafood and Wings. The food were delicious and tasty. You can tell they were fresh to cook that night. They were flavorful. I would definitely come back if I’m in Stamford.

Stopped for Dinner after reading good reviews. Had Snow Crab Legs & Lobster Tail! Really good would definitely recommend!

My son is obsessed with this place! Great food great flavor! Best place in Stamford if you love seafood.

Bartender is awesome he makes some great drinks plus he actually listens to the customer to make sure the drink is the way they like it. Staff is also very nice, food is good but I'm not a fan of the upon noodles to thick for me but taste wise is good. They use baby clams though for the boil which I didn't like but besides that the food is good so far.

Ordered delivery. Fast and efficient. Had crawfish, mussels and clams in butter garlic sauce, spice level spicy. Crawfish was meh, not fresh and think they were frozen and not live crawfish when they were cooked. The clams and mussels are good and soaked up the sauce. I think it would be better if they had fresh live crawfish.

So happy we tried this new restaurant in downtown Stamford. Great cocktails- cranberry Margarita was amazing! Excellent appetizers and very good, fresh seafood entrees. Staff was very attentive.

Wasent expecting much, but this is a great place. Fresh and yummy fast delivery as well. I got coconut shrimp and clam chowder. It was super good.
Ok ok ok, excuse me while I lick my fingers and suck on the bone.. where have you been all my life, ya had me going all the way to the city to get wings and you are right here next to me!! HOLLA!! I'm so excited. Shell Grill is my best friend, Will be my Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturrrrrday LOVE. It's a song but it applies. The food is fresh and yummy and not greasy, I can't wait to eat the steamed salmon, my bestie says it's amazing and it is, but that greedy heifer lol only gave me a tiny morsel of a bite giggle giggle.

This place is really good and I recommend trying it out. We went during happy hour and we got two appetizers which was fried oysters and coconut shrimp. I didn’t take a picture because we were so hungry I forgot to take one. The fried oysters were okay I never had it before so it was new to me and the coconut shrimp was delicious. I had many coconut shrimps and this one was up there. Then we got two drinks. I got the drink That’s Caribbean and it was fine . Tasted like pineapple juice to me. My boyfriend got a whiskey drink. It was strong.Our seafood boil was shrimp, crawfish and crab and we got the shells sauce with a side of fries and it was sooo good! The boil comes with potatoes and corn. The sauce is full of flavor and we got mild spice and it had a good kick to it. Not that spicy to us. It was super filling and the price is good, maybe since we went during happy hour our appetizers and drink were discounted. Super good! We were soo full at the end of it.It was go good I went back a week later for the lunch and it was still good and also very filling. The tray with the rice is the lunch special. I got shrimp with rice with the shells special sauce. 10/10

I went for lunch yesterday about 3:00 o'clock it was cold I wanted some soup and we wanted drinks. I ordered the Clam Chowder and some of the potatoes are hard. I told the waitress Brianna about it she offered to change it but stated I would still have to pay for it because I tasted it. Yeah ok. The only thing they offered to drink was beer and wine because Brianna said she didnt know how to make drinks and she didnt want to mess it up and the Bartender doesn't come in until 4. We ordered the 15 wings Garlic Parm,Buffalo, Sweet Chilli they were good and I like the fact that you can mix up the flavors. The calamari was good to not rubbery. I ordered the boil which came with crab, lobster, and shrimp I added clams to the bag it was fresh seafood, not over cooked at all and overall pretty good I didn't like the fact the clams were so tiny for $14.00 a pound. I always order my sauce on the side and I must say the garlic butter sauce was fire. So after we ate the Manager Drew came over to say hello I advised him about the soup we talked about the menu he took the soup off the bill and gave me a gift card. Brianna later tried to clean up the fact that she told me I couldn't change the soup stating that's what she was told but she never asked anyone when I told her the potatoes were hard she looked at me and stated she couldnt change it she never left the table to even ask if she could change it. So there it is. Try it out but go after 4:00 that's when Drew the Bartender/Manager is there.

Nicely priced, very good seasonings and meal portions. The staff work extremely well and efficiently together. Now I see why they market their Wings, as much as their Seafood Boils; their Lemon Pepper and their Sweet Chili wings can beat most wings restaurants!

Went here for restaurant week and it was really good. For my boil I ordered the crab legs and shrimp with the shells sauce extra spicy. I should have ordered a larger portion because I was very happy with the quality of the food and the flavor. The drinks were made to perfection. I ordered the spicy Margarita and it was a nice blend not too sour. The wait staff was awesome they made sure you had everything you needed and constantly checked on you. The owner even came over to the table to make sure we were ok. He was actually the bartender that night and we definitely complimented him on his skills. The best part about Shells is that they have a happy hour for people like me. Nothing beats great food and drinks.
