About On The Half Shell

On The Half Shell is a relaxed bar and grill that provides a casual dining experience. The restaurant is well known for its delicious seafood dishes, including the popular Half Shell Seafood platter, which features blackened catfish, grilled oysters, and deep-fried crab cake. The crispy artichoke hearts are also highly recommended, served with a perfect mix of tart and robust flavors. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure drinks are always full and tables are clear. Guests can choose between a more private side for a quieter scene or a lively side with live music, such as the Eddie Smith Band on Tuesday nights, which is always enjoyable. The location is a bit tucked away behind a gas station but offers a spacious interior. Despite sometimes getting crowded, service remains prompt and the food consistently good. Many regulars love the atmosphere and the exceptional service, with staff members like Mindy going out of their way to improve the dining experience. The restaurant offers reasonable prices and ample parking, making it a great choice for those seeking a casual, authentic dining experience with a variety of options including grilled, blackened, or fried dishes, sides, salads, soups, and desserts.
