Half Shell Oyster House

We used to love coming here. The sides are outstanding. Sweet Potato Creme Brûlée heavenly.
So we arrived at about 2:45. My husband ordered the Seafood Pasta. Very small portion. The crabmeat on top was not local for sure. It was ok.
I had soup and salad (house salad w house vinaigrette which I have always liked). Salad has changed since the last time I was here.
Soup was still good.
Side of fried okra crispy and fresh. Cheese grits side creamy and good. Not saying we won’t be back but definitely a step down from previous visits here.
I notice there are several poor reviews for this formerly excellent restaurant. Perhaps some secret shopper diners with food experience could help spiff the food back up.
Also, there were 4 tables in the restaurant and it took a really, really long time to get our food. Salad should have come out immediately. Server was very nice so that was no issue. Seems to be a kitchen problem.

Our son and daughter-in-law took us out. My husband loved his half show oysters my dish was great and we enjoyed the whole meal

Great drinks at the bar. We went on a Tuesday and the oysters were buy a dozen get half dozen free. We had the char grilled. They were fresh shucked in front of us and cooked on an open flame. For me I would like a little extra garlic butter on top as a last touch but these were healthier without being smothered in garlic butter. The glutton in me just loves garlic butter soooo...I will request a little extra next time. With extra garlic....yummy

Good and service is always great

Grilled Oysters were very dry and did not seem fresh. Crab claws were a bowl of mush. Sweet potato creme brulee was not creme brulee. Have never had grilled oysters that bad.

Very good service but mediocre oysters. Pineapple jalapeño margarita is very good. Argentine Red shrimp are overcooked and full of grit. My wife could hear my crunching across the table. Crab cake was ok, but too much topping - had a rather fishy taste. Sweet potato creme is over rated - nothing more than mashed sweet potato.

Oysters were VERY small. Service was AWFUL! Will not go again! Also very noisy

Crab fingers and charred oysters

Always great!

This is bussin, best chicken ever

The oyster sampler and oyster Orleans were absolutely amazing when we tried them on our trip. Would definitely recommend. Their Cajun alfredo and Cinnamon roll bread pudding we're also to die for.

Delicious food and good service, highly recommend

First time eating here,the staff were polite friendly and courteous. The food was superb. Recommend everyone try them.

Unfortunately I left thirsty because our glasses were dirty, even after she replaced the first dirty glass, the second glass had very visible particles floating at the bottom. The oysters were small and after nothing was seemingly going right we opted to dine elsewhere. We've had a better experiences at other Half Shell locations

This restaurant is a must try. We had the redfish New Orleans, oysters, asparagus, sweet potato creme brûlée, and voodoo shrimp. Everything was delicious, fresh
