Their corn / seafood chowder is my favorite soup ever !! They have won the Chowder Fest for the last few years. Their crab cakes, mussels , lobster rolls are always excellent. I have to watch what I eat as I am allergic to calamari and can't eat anything cooked with it , even in the same frying basket, and they always make sure I'm safe !! Everything is fresh and delicious and Heidi, the bartender is excellent ! All of the staff , when I am there has always been great and Hughie the owner , runs a great restaurant . Also in the summer when the outside Tiki Bar is open and there is live music, it's always wonderful .

Staff was very friendly. Service was great. Lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and calamari appetizer were both excellent.Was there on a weekday in the off-season so it wasn't very busy. Heidi (Pinky) was bartender and waitress and very pleasant making small talk with us. Will definitely be back in season.

You can't beat the seafood corn chowder. Had it again last weekend with a grilled tomato cheese bacon sandwich. Amazing.

One of the few spots open on the nautical mile strip due to lots of rain and wind these past few days with hurricane Orphelia. That didn’t stop us and Half Way Down didn’t disappoint! Our first time checking out this spot and our server Martha was a an absolute gem providing top notch customer service. She was spot on with all her recommendations, spectacular attitude and sweet as pie.The bartender spun some amazing drinks and the biggest shout out goes to the in house DJ. He played hit, after hit. Love this spot and will definitely be back. 10 stars all day⭐️Unfortunately the grub we ordered was just above average but they make up for it in atmosphere and service? Next time I’ll try the fish tacos. Thanks for making my birthday oh so special xoxo

I went here the other day with a bunch of friends and we all REFUSE to go back until they stop using plastic straws!!! OUR BEAUTIFUL OCEAN ANIMALS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF INGESTING THESE PLASTIC STRAWS!! TURTLES, DOLPHINS, WHALES, SHARKS..etc.... IT'S CRIMINAL!!! Get with the program of protecting our Planet AND the Animals that call it their home! USE PAPER STRAWS!!!! THE EVIL HUMAN RACE NEEDS TO STOP BEING SO DAMN DESTRUCTIVE!

It was a nice place. Outdoor live music was loud, even inside. We weren't going to stick around long. Talking was almost impossible. They left before we did, so we stuck around.I had the shrimp tacos, which were delicious and reasonably priced. The mac and cheese was ridiculously expensive already, adding shrimp making it even more so. Almost $40 which was crazy to me. The drinks were OK. Nothing exciting. The waitress was great. I wouldn't come here to eat. Especially with so many delicious and less expensive options there. I'd grab a quick beer and be on my way.Parking: It's a small lot across the street.

Loved it great food and service really fun atmosphere really enjoyed toes in the sand and perfect weather.
Honestly heartbreaking. A year ago, Halfway Down had a special: burger with lobster meat and sunny side up eggs. This was the best burger I ever had. Nothing came close. Today for Father's Day, I called ahead and asked if they were able to make that same burger, and they said yes. I was really looking forward to having this burger again. When my family and I were seated, the owner at first said they didn't have the ingredients to make the burger. But after letting him know that we called in advance, they were able to make it.The burger was so bland that I just stared in shock. No flavor. The fries weren't even seasoned. It was the worst burger I've ever had. My family and I have eaten here many times, and I was ready to leave a positive review. I don't know why they changed their standards when it comes to their food. But I will not be returning. Literally McDonald’s make more flavorful burgers. Worst way to start Father’s Day.

Attended Pride event. Worst shrimp tacos ever. Undercooked. Slimy. Way too much cilantro. Gross.
