“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From everything I’ve heard, the Shell Inn has a wonderful reputation in the community. People consistently talk about the warm, welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and the care they put into their service. It seems like a place where quality and professionalism are top priorities, and where visitors can feel comfortable and valued. It’s encouraging to see a business that focuses on creating a positive experience for its patrons and supporting its employees. Definitely a place I’d love to visit based on what I’ve heard!“

“Our favorite local restaurant for 20 years. The food is amazing. Always fresh made with options from homemade soup, sandwiches, to amazing baked goods and waffles and yogurt (with fresh fruit, coconut and drizzled honey) available all day. Also, their assortment of drinks is wonderful with our favorite being the iced or Hot Dandy, iced or Hot Joe and the Hibiscus Cooler. Atmosphere is so inviting. Natural wood, stained glass, lots of plants. You feel like you are in an indoor tree fort. In the nice weather you can sit outside on the covered balcony to dine or sit outside at tables along the beautiful creek. In addition the entire restaurant plus bathrooms are exceptionally clean. They also have a small section of their own soaps, lotions, maple syrup Etc.“

“If you told me even 5 years ago that a restaurant like this was in Preston Hollow I’d call you a liar.
We are so lucky to have this place!!

Friendly knowledgeable staff, fresh ingredients and consistent quality & a dope beer selection. They understand the old adage ‘simplicity is closer to perfection.’”

Cheers TGLB!“

“Our recent visit to celebrate my aunt's 60th birthday has been on my mind all weekend.. It’s not every day you stumble upon a place that has awesome food, gorgeous atmosphere, and EXCELLENT customer service. Thanks to the ridiculously genuine warmth of the owner and server’s- I'm pretty sure they're secretly saints or something. The kids in our crew were so excited to meet and play with the bar dog Chevron and felt like they were part of the cool kids club, (when who I believe to be the owners) allowed them to play darts when I was like, "Uh, I don't know if that's such a great idea🙅🏼‍♀️..." But instead of giving us the side-eye..He just laughed and was like "Hey, let's make it interesting - who wants to bet on their game 😂?" - Talk about a major win.. They just simply let the kids be kids.. and unfortunately that sometimes very hard to find. If you're on the hunt for a spot that's all about family, community, and food that's the soo delicious, stop looking - This is definitely the spot!“
