Our hotel clerk at Holiday Inn & Suites Gateway suggested we try the ShellHouse. We had already eaten, so the next night we stopped after our trolley tour of Savannah and Just Had Peach Cobbler. And holy General Sherman, it was awesome. We had the peach cobbler with ice cream, and the cobbler came out hot, and steaming with the cold ice cream ... we absolutely loved it. Our waitress even asked which one of us would like the crustier piece, which I scored. Next time through Savannah, we'll try it for dinner, but don't miss the peach cobbler. read more

Over priced, had fried shrimp and it's a generous portion, enough for two people, however, the batter on them wasn't my favorite. They charge a lot for side dishes as well. Salad was nothing special also. If you go then share a meal. Ambiance wasn't bad but not great considering the price, We had a party of 5 people. Service was good and fast. read more

You're going to be shocked by the menu prices but let me assure you that you will need to be rolled out of there when you're done because the portions are huge! I got the fried catfish with cheese grits and red potatoes. The serve the spuds with butter and sour cream. Cover the potatoes with them and sprinkle some of the house seasoning from the table and boom they're delicious. The fish was perfect (order it extra crispy). They also have an app called shrimp butter and it's life changing. (Cream cheese base) slightly sweet with shrimp and a small kick of spice. Very good! read more

Anna Kelly was wonderful and accommodating to our party of four. She checked in on us often and cocktails, appetizers, and entrees came out promptly and to temperature. We ordered gator bites and bada bing shrimp for our appetizers and both were good - portions were big for both and plenty for all four of us with some left to take home. We tried the grilled shrimp kabobs which were enough for two people - huge portions! We also tried the grilled chicken and grilled grouper. Both were cooked nicely. The cheese grits tasted like Mac and cheese (yum) and the coleslaw was delicious. The red rice was unexpectedly sweet and the sausage side was pretty good. The green beans were overcooked-seemed like canned beans if that's okay with you. All were served with hush puppies. Tables were fitted with a hole in the center which led to a trash can. All paper products, shells, and other waste were conveniently disposed of ... just keep an eye on your drink! We had a view of the pond which was nice. read more

12.2025 First time here in a while. 4% charge to use card. Take cash if you care. They were busy and it felt their processes is to help offer speedy service. Kinda okay, but diminished the dining experience. I ordered the crab cakes and grits and it was good. The crab cakes are not jumbo lump, but good. The waitresses communication and understanding was off. She may have been ill but it negatively affected my experience. I would suggest updating the Pina colda to say its frozen. read more

The ShellHouse - Drink menu - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

This is a cool spot 5 minutes from the hotel. There is plenty of parking and seating inside the restaurant. The service is relatively fast and definitely friendly. The food was good. I have had the Mahi at three different locations so far and this was good. The green beans were ok and the potatoes were just too much for me because I had already had an entire appetizer. The pina colada was made well. I would go back. read more

We enjoyed our experience and the food. It was pretty busy when we arrived, as expected for a Friday evening. We were seated right away by a pleasant hostess. The website mentiined 'All you can eat', however we didn't see that in the actual menu. No big deal, just a little misleading, for us. It's pretty casual, but the prices were not. Unfortunately, neither my husband or I didn't get/remember our waitress' name. She was quite pleasant, and delivered an overall enjoyable experience. My husband ordered the Cast Net, shrimp dinner and I ordered the cat fish plate. I ordered a Margherita. Pretty good, a little sweet for me. It comes in a plastic to-go cup. We enjoyed our meal very much. The sides were just ok. We both had food for the next day. (So maybe it was all you can eat after all.) If you are not really starving, you may be able to share an entré. Try it! read more

Swing and a miss. The shrimp was terrible. Way over cooked and I said something about it and they brought me more that was over cooked. Then the manager came out and asked if I wanted her to peel my shrimp. No I want you to cook it right. Then the cook came out and brought more that was the same way. After all that they didn't even offer a discount. read more

This is a casual restaurant with some great seafood. Service was on point and very friendly. I had the grilled shrimp kabobs and it came with 4 large skewers. My husband and I should have split it and ordered extra sides. It was delicious. Hubby ordered grilled mahi which was also perfectly cooked. Sides were okay. Sorry, no pictures, we were hungry. read more

I went to Shell House and got there earlier than I planned. I got there at 3:35 and was stop at the door by owners son who told me we do not open until 4. I asked if I could wait in seating area until they opened. I was told no and I am disabled and had to return back to my vehicle and then enter again at 4. If I hadn't driven a distance, I would have just left. I asked in the past when I had arrived earlier, and was not an issue. This incident has left a bad taste in my mouth about this restaurant. read more

The Shellhouse wasn't my usual seafood spot, but it was still a pleasant experience. I went on Mother's Day, which was super crowded, but we managed to get seated in no time. Our waitress was clearly exhausted from the day, but she was still super friendly and kept checking in on us. The shrimp trio was really tasty, and even better when we warmed it up the next day. The drinks were cheap, but they didn't have much flavor to me. Overall, the food itself is a bit pricey, but it's still good. My favorite was the boiled shrimp. read more

This is hands-down one of the best restaurants in Savannah locally owned locally sourced seafood. If you leave the Shellhouse restaurant hungry it is your own fault. Portions are very large and they are very accommodating to groups.. Their wait staff is very friendly and efficient. I recently took several business groups that were from out of town and they were tremendously happy with the portions and the food quality was on point. read more

We were quickly seated and greeted by our server. This is a family friendly restaurant,and definitely fairly priced. The menu features all the best seafood dishes, and freshly cooked. The portions are large! read more

Great service at the bar. Not too crowded on a Monday night. Tried the new crab cake (waffle). It was really good. Not typically a fan of mayo sauces. But this one was a perfect accompaniment. Skewers upon skewers of shrimp! Cheesy grits. I ate all that fried okra. But canned green beans? And probably an entire can on my plate. Ruined it. Don't skip the peach cobbler and splurge for that vanilla bean ice cream. read more

This is a classic seafood restaurant. Bot high end interior but fitting for their style. It's tables with holes in middle to dumb all your garbage and trash and shells. Food is gargantuan: one meal can feed 2-3. All of the food is well seasoned. The catfish crispy outside and moist inside. The crab stew was flavorful w chunks of crab meat. The fried shrimp juicy w nice batter. Fried oyster the same. The crab legs came w 3 bunches and were very good. Service as excellent and prompt. A tad pricey but great value for the price and par for today's overinflated prices everywhere. read more

I have been coming here since it first opened years ago. One thing about it, the quality is always consistent. One of the few seafood restaurants in Savannah that can say that. This place has always been my favorite go to place for the best seafood. The staff are always very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and they provide great service. In the warmer months you can go out on the deck and feed the alligators in the pond. It's a hands on restaurant with a hole in the middle of the table with a trash can beneath, I like that because when I'm eating crab and shrimp I tend to get messy and I can clean the table and keep going. It's hard to pick a favorite menu item because they are all great. read more

Ashly was our server tonight. She was amazing, she was timely, quick and ahead of every single one of our needs. I am glad to see the charm is still there after the fire. When my 9 month old decided he needed to speak to place his "order" while we were ordering she talked back to him which was super sweet! Also, it was nice to see management talking and checking in on all the tables! read more

The food was amazing. Started with a bucket of oysters, had a combination of shrimp 4 ways, and ended with peach cobbler. The waitress was friendly and kept the tea glass full. The whole in the table tells you right away this seafood place is amazing and I was right. If you're traveling I-95 going through Georgia, stop in off exit 94. You might think it's pricey but you get a lot of food. read more

Well to start with the menu wasn't the same as it was online. We got our drinks pretty quick and the waiter would come every once in a while to check in. And it was pretty lively in here so that was nice but the food is the true things everyone checks these for. And it was delicious great portions filled me up quickly hush puppy's were crisp could be alittle sweeter but hey it was great! One small problem the bathrooms need more attention the stall was a mess and was extremely dirty. But overall 4.5/5 stars in my eyes! read more

This was our first visit since they reopened and it did not disappoint. Yes, their prices at first glance are high but, every plate they serve can easily feed two people. My 21 year old son got the shrimp and oysters combo. He ate until he was full, I ate 6 or 7 of his shrimp and we still took plenty home. The fried shrimp were the best that I've ever had in a restaurant. Low country boil was delicious and I took home probably 15 shrimp that I couldn't eat. This should be everyone's go to when you want the best seafood that you can get in a restaurant. Can't wait until we go back. read more

Quantities good, but super overpriced. Not sure how the average person affords this place. Another credit card charge which I despise! read more

Well Wowowooww!! You normally wouldn't expect much from a place off a major highway, but honest to heavens this place was amazing. HUGE platters so be ready to share! We got the shrimp and it's nice to try it different ways. The sides we tried were very good too. Cole slaw was perfect! read more

Tasty food, quick service. Food was hot with good sized portions. Our waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The fried shrimp tasted like they were breaded with fried chicken coating, the cole slaw contained cinnamon, and the red rice contained sugar. Odd preparation. Plus, the prices were more in line with what you would expect to pay at a far nicer restaurant. read more

The ShellHouse - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Seafood restaurants with a hole in the middle of the table are of a special and important class of eatery to me. They're casual, they're fun, and most often the seafood is fresh and well prepared. The Shellhouse is my favorite example of this kind of restaurant. Service is very good, especially at the bar. My go to dish is a fried shrimp and steamed crab leg combo. The shrimp are amazing. They taste like local shrimp, briny and fresh with breading light enough to let the shrimp dominate. The crab legs, do not local, are prepared well, meaty, and flavorful. Now, on Wednesdays, I think they have a $64.99 all-you-can-eat crab leg night. What they serve is usually all I can eat. A friend of mine who is a crab leg killer ordered it one day, but was disappointed . The all you can eat crab clusters are smaller, broken, and generally more difficult to eat. He says from now on, he will stick with the normal combos. The meal is also a bit pricey. My combo runs about $55. But I can eat my fill, share shrimp with a friend, and still take a satisfying portion home to my Mom. So it's worth it a few times a year. I recommend the Shellhouse. They experienced a fire during the pandemic, and it took months for them to reopen. I'm so glad they're back! read more

The food and services were excellent. We had a 60th birthday party for my daughter and everything was great!

Came here with lower expectations and left pleased. The staff was very young but excellent. I have just sprang my ankle very bad and barely walking. They were super getting a table close to the front and when leaving offered a wheelchair but with my situation was very welcome. The crab legs were really good, hush puppies pretty good. Catfish way excellent with a huge portion. Sides of cheese grits and sausage are decent. My wife's meal had probably 30 shrimp with the crab leg combo. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes. Our waitress was really good and smiling great attitude and kept checking on us an keeping our drinks filled. I'd come back just for the catfish and the service read more
