    Wow, what an amazing time we had! From the arrival, to the hostess stand, our seating, and the wait staff. Everything went great! It's a beautiful place nestled in Shelby farms. The first question our waitress asked, was we celebrating anything? I told her we were actually celebrating our Thirty-Fourth Wedding Anniversary. While we were looking at the menus, she brought us a glass of champagne with a strawberry on top. And congratulated us on our anniversary. Her waitressing skills were impeccable. We wanted or waited for nothing the whole night! I haven't even gotten started on the food yet. I can honestly say every dish we got was amazing. It's so refreshing to have everything go right in a restaurant. There were so many great options on the menu. I had a problem figuring out what I wanted. So I just ordered way to many things......lol.... We started off with the Blackened Shrimp Brie Dip and the Sauted Blue Crab Claws. They were some of the best appetizers we've ever had. This includes restaurants near the ocean. I also got the classic half wedge salad. Usually a salad is nothing to write home about. I'm here to tell you that was the freshest, best tasting salad. I've ever had. For the main course, I got the Spicy Louisiana Red Fish. Whith Jambalaya, Andouille Sausage, Shrimp, Crawfish, In a Cajun Cream Sauce and my wife got the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Steamed Green Beands and Garlic Whipped Potatoes. Just to make it more difficult on myself. I also added the Jumbo Cocktail Shrimp on Half Shells. I know I sound like a broken record, but every dish was absolutely amazing. The food is so fresh and flavorful. They are a little on the expensive side. But trust me, you deserve it. You only live once! We finished up the evening with a Creme Brulee and a Piece of Dark Chocolate Covered Lime Pie. I think at this point it's very safe to say we were miserable. I highly recommend Coastal Fish Company! You won't regret it. There was not one bad thing or improvement, I could talk about. I really don't know how their seafood is so fresh. This far from the ocean. I look forward to coming back and trying some other dishes. I can honestly put this place in my top three restaurants of all time......... Just so you know, the valet parking is complimentary.

    Amazing service and delicious food. I had my last meal of 2025 here and the experience did not disappoint. We had a table outside with a waterfront view and although it was chilly outside the heat lamps kept me nice and toasty. The professionalism of the staff here is A1 but our server Colby was arguably the best. He was personable, attentive and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. New Year's Eve had a special 4 course menu at $115 per person and everything I had was absolutely delicious. My meal plan included the rock shrimp pot pie, New England clam chowder, butter poached lobster tail and the key lime pie. I also had two Casamigos cocktails that I customized to my liking and enjoyed their complimentary champagne toast at the end of the meal. The dim lit vibe, well prepared food and the top notch service here all served as a good way to end the year. Random Tips: they have complementary valet and heated patio lamps

    We visited on 5/1 with a party of 6 and sat on the patio. Let me just say--everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. My Old Fashioned was perfect, and the crab oysters (I added shallots) were super yummy. Everyone at my table truly enjoyed their meals as well, and there wasn't a single disappointment in the bunch. Service: 5 stars Food: 5 stars The atmosphere was just as great--relaxed, enjoyable, and perfect for a night out with good company. I posted pictures of the food on Instagram, and several friends thought I was dining in Chicago or New York--that's how elevated everything looked and felt. I will definitely return! Thank you for the great service, delicious food, and a wonderful overall experience.

    Updated: 01/02/2026 Been here multiple times mostly for special occasions. Today it was for a birthday. Got the Encrusted Yellow Finn Tuna. I feel like it was cooked perfectly for me. The center is tartare but not cool not cold. The vegetable sushi enhanced the meal. Got my usual Nola baked oysters. Wife got the filet and it was cooked as ordered. Waiter and wait staff were good. Sat in the Commodore room which tends to be much less noisy so ambiance was good. Received a mini crème brûlée topped with fresh berries which is complimentary with a birthday.

    Our party was large, the appetizer arrived fast. It was a chilly day but we were surrounded on all sides of the table by standalone top down heaters which kept us feeling amazing throughout the meal. The architecture of the building is remarkable. Every server was smiling, held doors, and were friendly. Our server, Hunter, was great, we didn't have an empty glass of water the entire 1.5 hours we were there. Lastly, the Shrimp Scampi Melt I tried was perfect for what I paid and as expected with what was listed on the menu. The shrimp was the best part, large and good. 1st time at Costal, and won't be the last for us.

    When I say this was a wonderful experience! The service was top tier ! My waiter made sure I had everything I needed to have a great experience. The ambiance was so relax and peaceful. My food was delicious !! The lobster tail was life-changing in a good way and my lobster bisque soup was so creamy. The west Indigo eggrolls were so goood !!! Omg! The chocolate covered strawberry mousse cake was delicious. I will definitely be back

    A dinner with friends! The calamari was cooked just right. The server was great. The drinks came out timely and were a good time .

    I've been wanting to try Coastal, so I was excited to check it out with friends. Drinks, service, and the seafood tower were amazing. My food...eh. I had the Louisiana red fish and it wasn't seasoned at all. I tried adding salt and pepper and that didn't help. There was absolutely no flavor profile. I'm sure I'll visit again for the seafood, but I'll likely skip dinner.

    I was really looking forward to dining here for my birthday. I've heard such good reviews. However, it looks nicer than it is. First off, our waitress was super sweet, but she seemed distracted every time she came to the table. Our seat was inside, but facing the window. So we got to see somewhat of the sunset as we dined. Our appetizers were just okay. Nothing to brag about. The lobster bisque was good, seemed to be a bit too salty. I was looking forward to the lobster ravioli. It's one of my favorites foods. However, they didn't have raviolis and said they were substituting it with Angel hair. I didn't think it could be that much different, but my goodness. That was the most bland meal I've had. I ended up taking it home and added the leftover blackened shrimp and Brie dip to it and it made it much better. My husband had the sea bass and it was okay. The dish wasn't worth the price thats for sure! I ordered dessert before they came out with my creme brulee birthday dessert. Which it was good, but I wish they had told me they were bringing that out before I ordered another one. The place all and all just wasn't worth the hype. More for a social gathering.

    Had reservations. Waited at the door for maybe 10 minutes. Once seated everything went very smooth. Ordered drinks and appetizers. Waiter was very helpful in discussing menu. Everything we had tasted great! Had a birthday at the table, so they brought out a mini crème brûlée for them! If you are on a budget, this is not the place to visit. We enjoy going out like this when celebrating, but not a regular thing for us. We will come back another time for another celebration! Great overall experience.

    CFC is a wonderful restaurant with amazing service, food and views! The staff is very attentive and friendly, very service oriented, and they all work hard to please their customers, from the valet, hostesses, wait staff, bartenders and food runners. Craft cocktails are amazing and the quality of their food is exceptional. There is a large out door area, two dinning areas with an additional dinning area, with high top tables, in the bar section of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant, one of the best in Memphis!

    I am so glad that I gave them a second chance! My lovely wife and I dined here for her birthday dinner recently and it went astoundingly well! We had only been here once before, and it was less than stellar. It was bad enough that we never really mentioned it again, so I won't go into detail. It had been 4-5 years... I wanted to see a nice sunset over the lake and she loves to eat some oysters so the choice was clear. Time for a second chance! Arrived to a bit of a wait for our reservation. It seemed as if everyone was arriving at the same time. Seated on the patio as requested. They did a nice job of keeping it outdoorsy and shielding you from the elements as well. Lots of heaters around to keep you comfortable. The wind was blowing like a mug and it was still nice out there. There is no better place to dine and catch a sunset than here in the city of Memphis! Our server was Matthew. This dude is as sweet as sugar, and treated us like the royalty we are. LOL... Seriously though... He was great. C's comment was "that guy isn't from around here". We just bashed a ton of appetizers this time around and it was perfect. That wasn't the plan, but oh well... We had a few raw oysters to start. You can choose from several styles and/or options. They have them dressed, plain, and can choose the size as well as inquire about the brininess of the little dudes. Moved on to the "Surf and Turf" oyster special. It tasted way better than it looked in the pics. It had large grilled oysters with a slice of filet on top. They were dressed well and tasted great. I had to eat them in meat then oyster stages as they were too large to consume in one bite. Really good though. We ate them all! Then we each had a soup. Hers was Lobster Bisque, and mine was Seafood Gumbo. Mine was good, hers was fan-fucking-tastic. It was so rich and deep and flavorful and creamy and decadent and awesome and good and stuff. It's the kind of thing that makes you write poorly. Then we ordered the shrimp and Brie dip. Loved it and tore it up. I think we ate every bite of the dip. I like that they had big shrimp inside, but they cut them into manageable pieces to eat. Nice touch. Flavor was in another reality it was so good. Next up.... Crab Claws. Arrived covered in bacon to my surprise. I don't read description to remain shocked. It was a different preparation than I have ever had with all of the bacon, but they were tasty. None of the toppings would really stick so I found my self piling them up in a claw and hastily trying to shove it in my mouth before it fell off. At this point, we were near food injury and although we had planned on entrees, there was no way either of us could eat any more. We snagged the free crème brûlée for C's birthday and got the check. We were there over two hours and didn't eat a real dinner! Tehehe. I really wanted the lobster ravioli, but that gives me a reason to come back. We shall return.... Great redemption Coastal! We should be friends again now. '25 - 35/111

    Do you need reservations for Father's Day?

    Highly recommend a reservation for Father's Day. Don't be surprised if you are told they are full booked. This is a VERY GOOD and POPULAR restaurant.

    Are children welcome?

    Yes I did children present when I visited

    How is the outdoor seating in summer ,comfortable?

    Jayson, honestly the outdoor isn't too bad; given the hot temps. I've dined outside on my 2 recent visits (brunch & lunch). It's Memphis, humid and hot, yet bearable. There are fans placed around the area & staff does their best to accommodate… Read more

    What are the lunch hours?

    Lunch/Brunch hours are: Friday | 11:00 am — 9:00 pm Saturday — Sunday | 10:30 am — 9:00 pm… Read more

    Is it necessary to have a reservation?

    No, but I would suggest making one on the open table app just in case!

    What is the appropriate attire?

    As Ms. Natasha said, it's a nice dining experience so I, out of habit, wear a collared shirt but I've seen more relaxed dress. I know for a fact coats and ties aren't required.

    Best place to sit?

    Outside, closer.to the building, or inside near a window.

    What time does the dinner menu start?

    3:00pm on weekdays. Not sure about the weekend.

    Do y'all have dessert?

    yes they do - and it changes - several homemade gelato/sorbet - creme brulee, some cakes - it's on their menu on the website as well.

You order at the counter and seat yourself. They do supply the tools needed, bibs, gloves, and crackers. Each table has a big bowl which we assumed is for your shells. We ordered the Big Island Gold as it was perfect for the both of us. They were out of sausages so we did ask for extra shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection, even the potatoes.

You have a choice of 3 butters and 3 types of seasoning. You pick one from each category. Liked that the seafood boil is served out of the bag. There was plenty of food in the bag. I did take half of the food home. Some of my family ordered the fried fish and shrimp. Everything had a great flavor. Service was good. You order your selection at the back counter then it is brought to the table. Ambience was standard diner like environment. The tables were sticky and some of the chairs were kind of rocky. The silverware was not as clean as we would have liked it to be. That was the biggest hiccup. The tartar sauce was not refrigerated. That was a concern. I will be back to order the food again but will need to bring my own Clorox wipes. Nit a problem since the food was tasty!!

    How in the gash darn hell have I not written a review for The Half Shell Memphis?!?!?…read more I've been coming here since birth. Ok. Maybe not that long. Most definitely since I can remember. My parents had the blandest worst taste for food, so I was a depraved child as far as flavor was concerned. We ate at very blah places and my Mom was the pickiest person in the world, but.... She loved this fried shrimp! So we came here often. I grew up in Parkway Village so we were always nearby. Fast forward to my Yelp days. My first CM, Joelle had a part ownership of this place when I first started Yelping. We even had her going away party here when Yelp ruined the Memphis Elite Program with part time CM's for our city. She was part owner and we hung out there so it seemed inappropriate to write a review. Besides, I knew Danny pretty well too and that was also a conflict. Nowadays it's been bought by the folks that turned Forrest Hill Grill around. They have closed the location on Winchester (which I called years ago) and opened up in Germantown on Poplar. I have no idea who these people are so I guess it's time. I have not been to the new one, but I have seen the menu. I do not have any intentions of rushing to try it. Seems as if they butchered the whole dang menu. Anywho.... I still like this one. It's pretty run down, but the food is still good. It's still the original menu with all the treats. They have a freaking Monte Cristo sandwich folks! I know of less than five places left that still serve them. When is the last time you saw a twice baked potato? Here it is!! They still have a changing weekly, "daily special". They still have an intense regular bar business. Good luck getting a seat at the bar at any given time. Best of all they still have those damn tasty fried shrimp! Oh they are so good! The best ever man. The sauces they serve are great. I've been up and down the menu and it's almost always great. Oysters are some of the best charbroiled that there are anywhere in Shelby County. Long live OG Half Shell! Please never change! '25 - 44/111

    Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up.

One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back???

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite.
