Shells has their good points and bad points. Our first visit I got the one lb. snow crab leg special. The legs were small, liquid crab meat, not much meat for the price. They serve 2 parsley potatoes with the entrees, not very appealing. Would it kill them to offer a large bake potato or sweet potato for the prices they charge ? The menu in my opinion needs to be reevaluated, I don't care how many times they email offers for a free appetizer with the purchase of an entree. I won't return until they decide to update their menu choices and quality selections.

It was ok. I have not been to a Shells in quite some time. There are no substations even for an up charge, which I thought strange.

I've been going to Shells since I was a young girl. The food isn't bad but, it doesn't taste like I remember. The shrimp pasta is my go to. If you are craving some quick seafood, it's a good choice.

Hadn’t been in a long time. Shells used to be a family staple. Was surprised and happy to see a full, but not overflowing, restaurant. Our server, Vic, was great and introduced us to the Shut the Front Door Key Lime pie. Great service. Great food. Glad to be back.

Steak definitely could've been better. Wasnt worth the price. My 8yr old daughter loves crab! I wasnt in the mood for crab lol I was wanting some good Ole steak and found this spot. Got a few different options. The clam chowder was probably best I've ever had. I decided to go for the 16oz NY strip, surf and turf and medium rare. The shrimp and steak itself had a little...too much black on it. Like it was cooked at too high a temperature too fast. No seasoning. I honestly couldn't eat it. I cut it a little weird to see if maybe the bitter blackness was like that all the way through. And it was. Disappointed. I've had a 15$ steak that tasted better than this one.

SHELLS IS BACK, wow what an experience, it was mostly good thanks to Josue. He knows the menu like the back of his hand. Our grandma asked him 20 questions and he knew every one. Def ask for him.
