Reviews for Half Shell Oyster House in Biloxi, MS
For a wonderful dining experience in Biloxi this is the place to go to. The wait was less than 10 minutes to be seated. The... staff was very friendly and were able to answer all our questions about the menu. The appetizer was delicious and veryflavorful. The main dishes were all piping hot when delivered to our table. The fish and seafood was fresh and delicious, thechicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sides were perfect. Overall it couldn't have been a better experience. The wait staffkept the drinks full and the bathrooms were very clean. The dining on the second floor was very nice. I can't wait to eat hereagain it is well worth the price! Read more
My husband and I decided on lunch at the Half Shell House and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by the host and seated... on the second floor. The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable and had a cozy New Orleans vibe. Our server was extremely helpfulin answering menu item questions and was very pleasant and friendly. Everything on the menu sounded fantastic, so we of courseover ordered, but with the smaller lunch menu portions we were able to finish what we ordered. We both ordered the watermelonsplash cocktail with salted rim... Do good we had another! The crawfish cornbread was incredible. We also had their beinvilleoysters. The oysters were huge and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the lunch shrimp and grits and I had the lunchseafood stuffed portobellos. The prices were great and the food could not have been better. So yourself a favor and enjoy agreat meal here. You won't be disappointed. Read more
Surprisingly, despite how busy it was, we got sat immediately. The atmosphere was great and the dining room is spacious and... clean. All the food was delicious and the portion sizes were just enough to keep us full but let us clean our plate. Theircocktails are a must as we all three got different kinds and found them all delicious. Only complaint is the price of theiroysters. Even plain, raw oysters are quite expensive (about 2$ a shell, 12$ for half a dozen). This might be due to me beingfrom the Eastern Shore where oysters are abundant and a lot cheaper! Read more
Very good food in a nice atmosphere. The Oyster Sampler was excellent and provided three of each cooked Oyster type. The... Seafood Stuffed Portabella and the Smoky Bacon Shrimp and Grits were very well made and did not disappoint. Read more
The food and the atmosphere were great! It was full but there was a romantic, intimate feeling to the restaurant. We had the... steak and the oyster sampler. Both were full of flavor! This was our first visit, but not our last. Read more
Dropped in for lunch with my partner. We had no reservation, so we had to eat upstairs. That turned out to be a good thing,... because we got Jaden as our server and fabulous cocktails from the bartender. (I forgot her name but she was equally lovely!) Mypartner ordered a bourbon and they didn?t have his type. The bartender came to our table and discussed the various types theyhad, taking the time to understand his preferences and recommend something he really loved. I ordered a Tom Collins and shedelivered a delicious one without flinching a bit. To eat, he had the Uptowner and I had the shrimp po? boy. We will be back! Read more
Had to check this place out since it had so many really good reviews. It did not disappoint. Everything we had was awesome.... Prepared perfectly. The shrimp taste like lobster (notice they are served with butter) not cocktail sauce. If you want yourshrimp to taste like shrimp you would not be happy with Royal Red shrimp. Not a restaurant issue that is just the way they are. Read more
Our waiter, Chris, was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and each item?s preparation. We had the fried green... tomatoes and oyster sampler for appetizer and they were absolutely delicious! Our favorite oyster had the Orleans sauce with anamazing mix of smoky, spicy and sweet. The voodoo shrimp po boy was massive and had the right balance of flavors (right down tothe pickles) and the blackened snapper was the light, fresh and seasoned perfectly! We enjoyed our lunch so much, we went rightback the next day! Read more
