I am pretty happy to have finally made it into this place! It has been there for years and for some reason I just have never been. I have now been here twice and I was shocked to see how busy they were on my second visit on Saturday night. I now understand why... The catfish is AWESOME! It is really some of the best I have ever had! The breading is unique in how in encapsulates the fish and kind of like steam/pressure cooks it. It is perfectly spiced and crunchy like it should be. I have had a few side dishes and I really liked the Onion Rings, the fries are Thick Steak Cut, Cole Slaw was on point, and although pre-battered frozen the Fried Okra was solid. The corn looked awful but was actually really good. Reason for only 4 stars... The Hush Puppies sucked! Boo! Why? It could have been love! The Shrimp is also pre-battered frozen... Only fair in taste/quality. Stick with the Catfish for a solid 5 star visit so far in my opinion. They do have some other interesting stuff like Whiting and Big Bone Buffalo (whatever that is). I'll get back with you on that...

I absolutely love Southwind Fish!! I come here about 3 times a month and have yet to be disappointed. They have the BEST catfish I have EVER had. The catfish nuggets are well seasoned and perfectly fried. The hush puppies are delicious and so is the potato salad. The restaurant is small but always clean. The staff is friendly. I suggest calling ahead if you are ordering during the lunch hours because it can get a bit busy.

The fish is fantastic. Warning--you may need a nap if you eat here for lunch. They give you plenty of food. Highly recommended.

I didn't get the low boil crab but this place gets all my lil stars. 1. I walk in and the service…read moreis efficient but friendly. I ordered the #7 which I believe is the friend shrimp basket. I got 15 pieces (they tell you on the menu) of standard sized shrimp for $18. I find this incredible because where I live that's maybe 7 pieces of shrimp. The shrimp is not small (smaller than butterfly but bigger than popcorn) and seasoned well. It came with fries and something, but they let me sub for fried okra and crab pasta salad. 2. My picky sis loved the okra. I was very pleased in general because it was a lot of okra and everything tasted good. But what you should take from this is my picky sis ate a few shrimp and okra and was very complimentary. Let's talk about the service. The place is a tight room that is all white besides the posted menus. Spartan is the right adjective. Anyway, they offered me a lil bag of popcorn for my wait because they know ppl get testy waiting for food. It's free popcorn and I thought a nice touch. My wait was probably 15 minutes and they have ordering online. I trust places with online ordering. They also take square and I think Apple Pay. Again, I am pleased. In summary, this is a great place that thinks about the small things but looks less welcoming than what it is. I've told several of my people to go. If you're like my sis and need lots of yelp reviews before trying a place, just go. It's good stuff. I certainly didn't expect to see a crab spot by my childhood home, but here we are.

They only get 2 stars because they Cajun seasoning was good. The clusters were super small and…read moreDROWNED in butter. I was super disappointed. I will never eat here again.

We have tried everything on the menu and NEVER had anything bad. I love the home town feeling of Half Shell. The ole guys sitting at the bar and the people just enjoying themselves. Really a great atmosphere!!!!!!!

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

I stopped by one of the Memphis, Tennessee Red Pier Cajun Seafood & Bar locations for lunch on a…read moreSunday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food had good flavor, and I would consider ordering it again. Unfortunately, it was served only lukewarm instead of at the proper temperature, which took away from the overall experience. What stood out most, however, was the presentation of the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by numerous handwritten paper signs and messages written on dry-erase boards throughout the dining area. For a restaurant with mid-range pricing, this came across as unprofessional and distracted from the dining experience. I was also surprised that there was no standard silverware available--only individually wrapped, inexpensive plastic forks and spoons. As I was leaving, I noticed several customers were being served their meals in takeout containers rather than on traditional plates, which further gave the impression of a casual takeout establishment rather than a dine-in restaurant. Overall, the friendly service and flavorful food were definite positives, but the food temperature and the overall presentation of the restaurant left me remembering why I rarely choose to dine at Red Pier. With a few improvements to presentation and attention to detail, the experience could better match the prices being charged.
