The food was amazing, but what really made our experience was the service. Taylor was fantastic, gave us excellent recommendations and accommodated us joyfully even though we came in for a full dinner about 30 minutes before closing. He brought us samples of their baked oysters (omg so good), gave us great recommendations, and arranged for a delicious bread pudding surprise for our birthday guests. Thank you Taylor! We look forward to coming back to Half Shell the next time we're in Mississippi!!Dietary restrictions: One person in our party has a nut allergy and Taylor knew the options on the menu that would be safe for us.

The place is nice. The food was great . Hannah S was the bartender and was super neglectful. We were ready to spend money but she never checked on us. I wanted to order 2 more drinks, a main course and dessert but she ignored us til my sister got irritated and asked for the check. It was not my packed at the bar and she held conversation and attended to all others except us. We sitting right in front of the tv at the bar so this place is in the center of the bar. She may need additional training on customer service. She’s a great mixologist just need to learn to not show bias towards a certain demographic of customers.
Came in for lunch with a group of my buddies from work. The 3 of us sat at the bar and by the time we got our first beer 3 turned into 9. The bartender, Ashley never missed beat. We had fun watching her make drinks and talking to her while we enjoyed the atmosphere. Oysters and gumbo was hot and the beer was cold and never empty. I'll be back and I'm sure the rest of my guys feels the same way.
I rarely take the time to post, but the reviews for half shell were so good I was expecting such a great meal. Our server was very nice and accommodating. The overall feeling was “Cheesecake Factory” featuring seafood. Cesar salad was drenched in dressing, the bread used for the poboy seemed stale, the voodoo shrimp starter was good but the shrimp selection that was used is very small, the crawfish bisque was the best part of the meal.

Food was very good. A little expensive but kinda expected. Waited 30 minutes for a table. Service was excellent. Servings were good size. My daughter and I had the Mahi. It was EXCELLENT!!
Bloody Mary was perfect. Service was horrible. Food was cold when brought to the table. Waitress acted as if dish was hot and it was not at all. Very sad as we have dined at other locations and have been very impressed with them. This site not at all.
Great fun love new location food was great .
