I came here twice and I have to say I'd recommend their charbroiled oysters because I still think about it to this day and how we should've went a third time just to get that. I do think some other things on their menu is just okay like the french quarter dip (the dip was in such a tiny cup with little amounts so it was underwhelming) and the fried shrimp (it just reminded me of popeyes shrimp). But I did enjoy the seafood stuffed portabellas and the caesar salad. The service was great. The first time we went I told the server he reminds me of the guys who plays Shaggy is Scooby doo the movie mixed with Ryan Gosling. The ambiance was nice and the stairwell is a bit narrow but I'm glad the railings are there. Also the bathroom with the oyster shells walls is brilliant! read more

Royal redfish was pretty good, definitely a solid choice. I also tried the shrimp and crawfish etouffee special but it was just alright--wouldn't order that one again. We sat at the tables by the bar and the service was a bit less attentive than I was hoping for... but overall an ok experience. Had the oyster orleans and rockefeller too; flavor was great but they were a little gritty. read more

Talk about some amazing food in Biloxi!! For my short stay in the area, I wanted a fantastic meal. This place was suggested and I can see why! There is downstairs and upstairs seating area (Full bar on both floors as well). We were warmly greeted and seated right away. Our waitress Kelly was very friendly and had some great suggestions for dinner. Immediately, we ordered the fried green tomatoes. We also had the Redfish Orleans and the most ordered side was the sweet potato creme brulee. The fried green tomatoes had a creamy crab sauce over the top which paired perfectly with the crispy breading. The Redfish Orleans was amazing and the sweet potato creme brulee was the star of the show. Definitely a great meal with great service! read more

We visit here once or twice while we're in town...oysters are delicious and shucked fresh daily! Everything we've tried has been so good...this trip I had the crab cake topped with blue crab herbed cream sauce from the appetizer menu and my husband had raw oysters...so yummy! It's French Quarter style...dark and sultry decor with cool, funky lighting. They have additional seating and a second bar upstairs. It's an old building and the stairs are very precarious, so just keep that in mind if that would be an issue. The service is always on point...we sat at the bar this trip. Aaron did a fantastic job and never stopped moving! read more

Half Shell | Biloxi, MS Yooooo!! Writing this is literally making my mouth water. So many fond memories from this trip because we ate at Half Shell twice lol The gumbo was solid. Not the star of the meal but I love the hunks of meat and how it's not overpowering. The freaking crab claws.. literally perfectionn. So I was wondering if they would be a little chewy or stick to the tendon. Well, that was not the case. They were so fresh and tender. Let's talk about the garlic flavoring was to die for. The charbroiled oysters were sweet too! Fresh, tasty, and a decent size. My only knock on this place is their drink offerings aren't great. A lot of options but nothing that's spectacular #foodreview #oysters #seafood #eatlocal #mississippi read more

Doing our food and drink crawl around Biloxi this is a must stop. It was really busy but we got a high top at the bar pretty quick. Bartender was our server and right on us and very helpful. Drinks were awesome and a decent wine selection. We tried a few along with some charbroiled oysters. These were awesome and we are not oysters people. These changed out mind about oysters!! so may good flavors. Charbroiled is the only way to go! Place had a local vibe but I know there were a lot of tourist here too. Really cool spot. read more

Excellent Food, Even Better Service! Had a fantastic dining experience at Half Shell Oyster House in Biloxi! The restaurant is located in a charming old house with two floors, which gives it a lot of character and a cozy vibe. A quick tip for those who may have trouble with stairs--there are 30+ steps to reach the upstairs dining area. They don't take reservations, but if you call ahead and request the preferred waitlist, the staff is incredibly accommodating and will help ensure you're seated downstairs. I really appreciated how smoothly that process went. Now to the food and service--both were top notch! Let me start by shouting out Nick, our young waiter who absolutely crushed it! He was attentive, friendly, fast, and genuinely helpful with menu suggestions. His recommendation to add the Royal Sauce to my blackened trout (served over mashed potatoes and asparagus) was spot on. That sauce took an already great dish to the next level--don't skip it! We started with the fried blue crab claws appetizer. They were decent but a bit too heavily breaded for my taste--not bad, just not a standout. That and the stair situation were the only minor downsides of an otherwise great visit. The garden side salad was very fresh and crisp--a great starter. The gumbo had a nice kick to it, just the right amount of spice and seasoned beautifully. Definitely recommend if you like a bit of heat. Other dishes ordered at the table included: Seafood Sampler - All fried, all delicious, and way more food than one person can finish. Royal Red Shrimp Dinner - Again, huge portion and seasoned to perfection. Jalapeño hushpuppies - A real highlight. If you visit, do yourself a favor and order these! In short: great atmosphere, incredible food, and stellar service from Nick made this one of the best meals we've had on the coast. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning! read more

Likely one of the best meals I have ever had and I have been all over the world at the fanciest of restaurants. Everything was fantastic. The food, fantastic. The service, fantastic. The ambiance, yep, fantastic. We started with the oyster sampler. We are not big oyster fans, but this was special and different than anything oyster I have ever had. I had the seafood pot pie. Stocked with seafood and the crust was to die for. Creamy and the seafood taste was over the top. The wife had their special which was a filet mignon topped with lobster mornay sauce. Fabulous. The lobster was tender and the steak was perfectly cooked. The sides of broccoli and asparagus with Gorgonzola cheese. OMG. So excellent. This place is a must go when visiting Biloxi. This one is across the street from hard Rock, not the one in Hard Rock. I heard the one we went to is better. read more

I have been here 3 times now and it has never disappointed me. If you like seafood, especially oysters you will enjoy. There is other dishes served including steaks and pasta. The drinks are made well too. The place is usually packed but the service remains excellent. The dress can be casual or you can wear nice clothes. It is beautiful inside and although not really intimate it can be a romantic. read more

We joined the wait list on Yelp and glad we did. It was a Wednesday night and still a line. While we had a short wait, we walked around to see the other offerings around. When seated, it was a busy place with good service. When food was ready it came to the table. Our waitress let me try the greens prior to ordering! Oysters were fresh. I did miss the minuete but there was lemon, horseradish and cocktail sauce. Fried claws were okay and they came with lemon and cocktail sauce. Husband had the salmon which he really liked. We shared a Caesar salad which was okay needed salt and pepper. The drinks were good. It is a rather large place as there was an upstairs. We also saw a bar area as well although small so don't think you will walk in and get a seat unless you are lucky! read more

The restaurant always seems to have a wait but we don't mind. We tend to come here with a bigger group so if you do that plan accordingly. Our service was good and I'm not much of an oyster person, but I was pleased with my chicken garlic fettuccine. I was really craving some pasta and it really hit the spot. It was creamy and the pasta wasn't over cooked. They also give a nice portion of chicken on the pasta. For my side I tried the asparagus that was topped with blue cheese and it was quite tasty. The food here is definitely rich and hearty. There's also lots of parking so it's easy to swing by! read more

Excellent service at the bar. Drinks were delicious and then we stumble upon happy hour always a plus. I got the Basil Lemon Drop martini in the rocks, so refreshing. The Oyster sampler was full of deliciously grilled oysters with various toppings equally delish. The Seafood Bisque was heart with a light broth filled with crawfish crab and corn what a hit! Try the hush puppies with the honey butter, deliciously decadent. Such a warm and inviting beautifully decorated place. You won't go wrong here. read more

We went to the one in Biloxi. It was my birthday. The lady that was seating us was very rude. I told her I did not want upstairs. And where did she try to put us. Yes. Well I told her again and she keep saying well you only waited so many minutes. When we finally got our table after being talked to like I was a child. The waiter was very slow. The food was not what I expected. We have one here in Lafayette La. The first time we tried it we were not impressed. My sister in laws bragged about the one in Biloxi. Maybe the one here in Lafayette needs to be given another shot. read more

Enjoyed a weekday lunch recently while in town. Amazing service, fantastic food, & great prices. I had the half shell salad and shrimp po 'boy. It was delicious. I love their house made vinaigrette dressing on the salad. The salad was fresh and filling. I shared it with my husband. The po'boy contained a generous amount of fried shrimp, along with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I got it with mayo on the side. My husband had the uptowner steak sandwich with jalapeño hush puppies. He really enjoyed his food too. Minor item...they need to do some heavy cleaning of their chandeliers as I really noticed the dust on them. We enjoyed lunch so much that I didn't knock stars off for that. Please fix that, Half Shell. read more

If you are in biloxi this is a must eat place! The oyster sampler was one of the best things I've ever had! I would also strongly recommend the seafood corn bisque. Don't feel like you have to get an entire meal. We shared a sampler and some sides and were not disappointed. We sat at the bar and it was fun to watch them grilling the oysters. It really does give them a great charbroil flavor. The service was super friendly and the interior is modern and clean. read more
