The place was nice with good atmosphere. Everything was good except our waitress. She must have been having a bad day. She (Breanna) didn’t approach us with a smile or hello just what do you want to drink and gone. We had sit at our table before the people she waited on first. We ordered chowder and our meal at same time per her request. Waited longer than expecting, watching everyone else around us get their food. Tried to get her attention several times (to ask if we could get chowder first) she’d turn her back and ignore us, so eventually kitchen staff brought all our food at once. She didn’t come by to ask if we needed anything or nothing. I’d ordered 2 sides but I only got one and was charged for both. When she brought the check I told her about it and she said she’d ask manager but she brought the same check back and left, didn’t say anything. I paid check and left. Will never go back. I was a waitress for many years and never treated any of my patrons this way. Had to bite my tongue and leave before I lost my temper. Waitress needs more training to be friendly and more professional.

The reasonbly priced food and convenient location make this sports bar surprisingly good restaurant considering it's located at a tourist destination - the Shell

Closes at 8. The place was packed, and it closed! Service was so slow. Only got 1 round! Bar staff said they always let people stay longer? The problem is the polite people left when closed. So stay open longer and then kick people out. Must be the same bad management as the Shell Factory..that closes at 6 so no one can go after work or the beach. The food was typical bar food and greasy spoon. Overpriced. $19 for coconut shrimp? Sabal Spring bar closed so why wouldn't you capitalize on that!?

Service sucked. Took 15 minutes to get the first drink. It's not busy here at all. After the first drink which he said he would be right back. Never came back to get ask us about food or another drink but went to all the other tables around us. Here to listen to our friend or I would have left. We come here on Tuesday's and we have always gotten great service.

Visited this establishment for dinner. Enjoyed the live music they offered, & that was all. Service sucked! Waitress forgot 1/2 the entrées ordered. The bar sever Ray was standoffess & rude. Will not go back to this establishment. There are better restaurants to frequent.

Was nervous because of the reviews, but ended up being delicious. I had the corn beef reuben and it was the best I've enjoyed in years. I would definitely come back.
Good food. Very fast and friendly service. Personally felt it was a bit over priced. But I would still definitely recommend them.

It would be nice if they had more bar food. It's just a restaurant that has separate names for the inside and outside. Same food at both places.

I’ve been coming to the Shell Factory for over 30 years and this is my 1st bad review.The fish basket was delicious and quick but Krista the barmaid was horrible. The bar was not full, I sat in front of the cash register. The first time, she came out never looked the bar over, no acknowledgment and I had to flag her down twice. I felt like I was a nuisance. No smile, no thank you no nothing from her smokeless face. She needs to go! She does not enjoy her job and is losing customers for you that I know Pam will not like.
