I smelled the most wonderful Aromas of cooking and found out that it was coming from the half shell so I was going to go in and have lunch and at the same time I had been walking so I had to pee I went in and asked a girl at the bar may I please use the bathroom he looked me up and down as if I was some I don't even know and then just gave me some rude answer about the guy in front of you has the key who just went out the door I said thank you have a good day and I left I wouldn't recommend any part of this place to anybody because I couldn't even get by the bartender simply to use the bathroom so as far as customer service in just overall genuine pleasantness this place is lacking it avoid at all costs doesn't even matter that they offer free beer

Great service and good food at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy, just a neighborhood bar with inside and outside seating.

Want homemade food? A great burger at a nononsense, personalized, little family bar? THIS is the place. Try it! It's good for you...Parking: One block OFF S Cleveland. Worth it!

The menu featured a bologna sandwich, the bartender didn't seem interested in serving us, and the lighting at the bar made me feel like I was in a

A great local pub where everyone knows each other and everyone talks to each other. Everyone who came or went stopped to talk to us. We were looking for a dog friendly place to have cocktails and beer. They don't serve liquor, but wine-based alcohol. They have food as well. We sat outside in the outdoor patio. We weren't allowed inside with the dog we were with. Lori was our server and she kicked us out. LOL She was very friendly and attentive. She told us the history of the place, which goes back almost 50 years! The current owner, Pam, owns the place for 27 years and worked there 10 years prior to that. She came up and talked to us for a while. Sierra was the next shift server and was very friendly. It's one of those places where "everyone knows your name" ?. We didn't eat, but the taco Tuesday specials were awesome. Lots of the menu is made in-house.Parking: Their own lot.

Half Shell Pam (on FB) owns this old school neighborhood tavern & Seafood Shack. She offers super friendly service, warm smiles & cold beer in a small place where everybody knows your name. (Even if you just walked in for the first time).I stopped in for beer & a bite after checking in to a motel across the street. I made my choice based upon the appetizing images found here on Google. Also the menu pricing seemed more than reasonable.I didn't know how reasonable until I sat down at the bar and was immediately smothered with friendly service and a suggestion to select the Friday Special dinner for $10.95 which involved a southern style country fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy.This dish was all I expected from good home cooking. The steak was fork tender, gravy flavorful, corn sweet, and taters smooth....In fact, I had ordered the same meal the week before at a Ft Myers "Fancy" Southern restaurant and that dish had none of the attributes of this unassuming good ole home style goodness which cost $9 less).I am leaving town tomorrow, but if that weren't the case, I would be back to try everything on the menu! Especially the seafood platter I was fascinated with before the Friday Special caught my desire... yumSolid recommendation!

They completely over promised. They kept telling us to google maps and give a great rating and tell every one it was a diamond in the rough. It was just rough. We got the scallops. Promised to be huge, delicious blackened with a large portion. The scoops were small, mushy, tasteless, boring. We were the only customers in the whole place. Prices were quite high for a neighborhood dive bar. Chowder was promised as a huge bowl. Not. Bud light posters everywhere. Did they miss what Bud Light did to their customers? I love finding great mom and pop eateries that punch above their weight. This place is the opposite. I don't know how they stay in business.
