The food was awesome as well as service. I highly recommend a visit a time or two. Location was clean and parking was accessible during a evening rush for the dinner hours. read more

The food was amazing. Half Shell has become my moms favorite place to get fried shrimp! The maple bourbon salmon was AMAZING! And the chicken Alfredo pad was delicious! For dessert we had the bread pudding. It was just ok....nothing to write home about! May have been better if it was warm and had a scoop of ice cream. But the sauce on it was delicious. Next time we'll probably try the key lime pie. Can't wait to go back and try something new from the menu! read more

Pleasant date night for me and my wife. We started with the broiled oyster sampler and it was really impressive. She had the almond crusted mahi, and I had surf and turf. We were very well pleased. Food was good , restaurant had a really long wait time would be the only negative. We were told 45-60 minutes and ended up waiting about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Bar prices for a drink while we waited were high read more

Service was straight trash!!!! Worst experience I have ever had here and I come here often.

The waitstaff are horrible. When the hostess asked if I wanted a table or booth, the girl next to her made the decision for me. Then, I just saw her making a face behind a woman's back when the woman asked if she could sit at one of the empty booths. I don't know what her problem is, but it needs to be fixed. There is no excuse for her behavior and plan on speaking with the manager before the night is over. read more

The food is delicious the customer service is fast and very friendly. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant is clean and everything is nice and makes you wanna come back again. I will definitely go back again. The drinks are good too!! read more

Still working out the kinks... Saturday date night. Game day. Ole miss on some of the flat screens. Hostess misprogrammed the check-in device and sat three tables before us so we waited an hour and a half to be seated. Apologized after we asked what was happening. Server didn't introduce himself but was otherwise prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had: Oysters on the Half Shell - only Gulf Oysters available - very flavorful, fresh; more variety at Saltines. Charbroiled Oysters - Delicious on par with New Orleans ACME and Felix Royal Reds - Amazing, a must try if you haven't; half pound Starter could be a meal. Big Easy Surf and Turf - Ordered medium rare filet and came out rare; still tender and delicious; small crab cake and pieces of lump crab meat made a fine trio. Sides: Jalapeno Huspuppies were quality with just a little kick; Sweet Potato Creme Brulee is so good you'll wonder why everyone doesn't make them this way. Coco runner tastes like a delicious Pina Colada from Cancun. Strange things: - Manager refused to change television from State game to Ole Miss game which might be a pro or con depending on who you cheer for but I thought the customer was always right. - Manager didn't do a table stop so we couldn't tell him that. - The back room seemed to be a bit more ethnic then the front of the house but this could have been just a fluke in how tables were sat. read more

Great food. My wife and I ordered seafood pasta and blackened redfish. The food was prepared excellent. For starters we had a bowl of gumbo and oysters sampler - perfect. The sampler was really great. We will definitely be back! The service was good, but not perfect. Very friendly staff and professional. They were very busy but still was a little off, plus our server seemed a little absent minded. Had to ask for a few things twice before he brought us what we asked for. Oh and my wife found a pearl!!!! read more

I had a great lunch experience on my first trip. I sat at the bar, solo on a busy Friday. First come seating was tight but fine. I ordered a nice Mississippi micro brew, Royal Reds and Parmesan new potatoes off the lunch menu. The Reds were steamed just right and the potatoes were perfect. My service was great. I can't wait to go back and beat up some seafood I think it is much better than Dragos. Seasoned but not salted. Give it a whirl read more

I just had lunch at the new location in Flowood, MS. This is as good as their locations on the coast. The service was prompt, courteous, and friendly. The staff has good knowledge of all dishes on the menu. I would recommend you do an oyster sampler plate if you have not eaten her before. You get three oysters of each of the following: Charbroiled, Oyster Orleans, Bienville, and Rockefeller. I was able to sample on of their many cocktails and the bar tender did a great job on their version of a Long Island. I look forward to returning many times. read more

Love their Royal Reds, chargrilled oysters, and the sweet potato crepe brûlée. We always have excellent service. The only downfall is they don't take reservations so the wait times can be up to an hour, especially on weekends. read more

Been a regular at half shell on lakeland for a very long time and have never had a bad meal. Some fool said the fish isn't handled properly and I disagree! I recommend this place 100%!! read more

Eh, thats what i got when i visited this place. The service was good but the food was mediocre at best. We tried the shrimp with voodoo sauce and comeback sauce on the side. Nothing spectacular, just fried shrimp with with sauce on the side no seasoning, nothing. I had the dozen oyster bienville along with a cup of bisque, my mom had the fried shrimp with the new potatoes and a salad. The bisque was okay again no seasoning. It did have a good amount of shrimp and crab in it. The oysters had more breading then anything else. They came out luke warm and did not taste of chargrill. My mom shrimp were fried perfectly but the potatoes were again not seasoned. I got the breading pudding to go and all i can say is long blank stare. The sauce was sweet but i did not taste anything that resembled a cinimion in the cinimion bread pudding. I will save you all 70$ and go try another place because it just wasnt that good. read more

This place has great food. The oysters are wonderful to taste and the drinks are on point.

This was my 8oz "filet". Whatever. This is obviously NOT a filet. In spite of COVID, they should be able to correctly advertise the right cut of meat and not sell an inferior piece to those ordering takeout. I usually like half shell, but this is terrible all the way around. Probably my fault, it's more of a seafood place, should've gotten that I guess. read more

Half Shell Oyster House - Terrible "filet". This is suppose to be a filet but a real filet doesn't have a tendon in it. - Seafood Near Me - Flowood, Mississippi

Horrible hamburger. Not a $14 hamburger even if it had not have been burnt. Food got cold waiting on condiments. Have had bad service here often. Oysters always good though read more

We had to wait almost 3 hours just to be told we couldn't all sit together, so our mother had to sit at a separate table for Mother's Day weekend. It took forever for the food to come and when it did, it was cold. It was a horrible experience! read more

Good food, friendly staff. Even without reservation we did not have to wait as long as they said it would be. Thanks Half Shell- really enjoyed the sweet potato brouleé. Seafood was just right!! read more

The sweet potatoes itself is a 5. It was everything. The redfish was delectable as well. The sauce and shrimp made the perfect combination. read more

If your specialty is oysters, own it. In this case, they were so small that our server offered to bring us a few more without us having to ask. My tuna was overcooked, but the second time around it was cooked perfectly! Steak was also made very well. Side dishes were all very greasy, too heavy or too salty so we barely touched our sides. Crab bisque was delicious, gumbo I didn't care for. Service was slow, but our server was polite and got what we weren't satisfied with corrected. read more

We love Half Shell! Great food and great service every single time! And the sweet potato creme brûlée' is spectacular!

Voodoo chicken appetizer is yummy! I usually like their specials (redfish is my favorite). Rockefeller oysters are the best! The fruity cocktails are delicious. I've never chosen a steak there, but my husband has and always enjoys it. Their sweet potato side is so delicious I usually order it and save it for dessert! On a weekend there will definitely be a wait!! read more

Love the food large oysters for the price. The wait is a lil timely on the weekend which is expected considering the circumstances

As always, I was exceptionally pleased with both my meal and my drinks. Half shell has some of the best customer services in the area.

Somewhat disappointed. My appetizer wasn't as good as usual, fried green tomatoes with crab, not crispy but rather soggy and I truly don't think it was crab meat on top. Oysters weren't even hot. First time we went out as a family since COVID. So disappointed. read more

Awesome place to eat. I have eaten here many times over the years and the food and service is excellent. My favorite is the royal reds.

I went on a date here and the drinks were great. I loved the atmosphere and the staff were friendly! Great experience!

I went to this place with my wife for Valentine's Day. The wine was good, service ok. I ordered the seafood pasta and The portion was tiny and not cheat at all. I guess 2 stars is fine per my experience. read more

Every time I go to Half Shell, I have nothing but a GREAT experience! The food and customer service is ALWAYS superior! I visit Half Shell, at least twice a month and I am never disappointed. This is one of the few restaurants that ALWAYS has excellent service(food and waiter/waitress)! Management, staff, and chefs/ cooks, you all are the best and I wish you all would have classes so other restaurants can take heed and notes about how a restaurant runs smoothly!Charbroiled OystersOysters BienvilleOysters OrleansOysters RockefellerSeafood PastaVoodoo ShrimpNew Orleans ShrimpGrilled AsparagusCrab Cakes with Fried Green Tomatoes(best appetizer in America)! read more

Great service rather it's birthday, family, friends, or dates. Great place to go for quality food and drinks.

The food is AMZAZING! The service is ALWAYS fast & friendly. This place is an easy "go-to" choice that we know will always be good.

This place is outstanding! Lovely atmosphere, good service, authentic well-prepared sides and incredibly fresh seafood. Cannot recommend it highly enough read more

Very upscale and accommodating restaurant. Very good food. Loved the Mario char grilled oysters. Waitresses were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time overall. Can't wait to go back. read more

My Aunt ordered shrimp and grits but it was cold.I think they should check their food before they give it to us.

This is a great place to splurge. They have items that I haven't seen at other restaurants. I had the Seafood Pot Pie and it was excellent!!! For my sides I had cheddar cheese grits, which honestly were a little bland, and sweet potato creme brûlée, which is scrumptious. It took awhile to get refills and it's a bit pricey but the food is excellent and we plan to go back, but probably only for special occasions. read more

Always excellent! Wife and I love the variety of seafood offered, from oysters on the half shell to the gumbo and N.O. Redfish.

Service is very good here, ambiance is good, ample parking. Food is well prepared, although the menu seems to be a little limited, what we have tried has been quite tasty with ample serving sizes. Overall a very nice experience. read more

Hot little spot for anyone and everyone. It was well lit, so no sense in dining with the 3rd grade teach from your son's elementary school on the low, your wife will definitely catch wind. Nestled right across from a Hilton hotel, I had the opportunity to dine here while traveling for work. I got a seafoo platter and a sex on the beach martini to go, all expectations were met. My only complaint is that while ordering my tini the bartender was a hard 7 and I started to sweat a little due to nervousness. Why did I think it was a good idea to wear a low V neck grey t-shirt without Old Spice???? read more

First time here, last time here. We were seated quickly and server was very good. Food just wasn't very good, we had an appetizer and both had seafood meals. Neither was good and part of mine tasted so bad I couldn't eat it. Way overrated and overpriced for what it is. read more

Half Shell is a great place to go for oysters or Cajon/Creole dishes. While the gumbo is very good, the bisque is hard to beat. One of my favorite dishes is the shrimp and grits. I'll order that nearly every time when I'm having lunch. It's hard to go worn, whether it's one of the po-boys, seafood, or oysters. The vegetable infused Bloody is also delicious! The prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is clean and the service has been better than expected. read more
