FANTASTIC!!! Very unassuming initially. IFYKYK! This restaurant has been around for decades! I?m new to this! ???? Definitely... return visits will occur. Enjoy the patio or head inside! Grab a table or have a seat at the table! The drinks were decent. Theclam chowder is highly recommended. I saw a few shrimp ???? dinners pass by. The shrimp were large and present on the plate?withthe standard accompaniment?fries! But, for this visit, the star of the show was the KING CRAB LEGS! If you enjoy crab, you gottado it. I can?t wait to return. If you are looking for good seafood in a comfortable, relaxed setting. A neighborhood spot withgreat seafood?this is your place! Oh?and?CASH ONLY!!! Read more
There King Crab, fried shrimp, and shrimp and corn chowder soup was great day and the price was right!!!
The clam chowder, fried calamari, and oysters were yum! We sat outside and the lights make it such a cute dinner spot. Loved the... blue berry mule! Easy street paid parking parking. My only gripe was the grilled shrimp with garlic sauce was over done, and oneof the shrimp was so gritty, I could not swallow it for fear of sickness. The service was pain staking and I would say slow butthat doesn?t quite describe the lack of awareness. we never were asked if we wanted a second drink. There was a woman outsidewho was clearing tables who was either hyper focused on doing said job, and or, is not aware staring at people is uncomfortableand strange. Wouldn?t acknowledge any thank yous from me, only my partner. Very strange. I?ll be back for the food though! Read more
Half Shell is a throwback, sort of divey but nice. Old school decor and really good seafood, what more could you ask for? It is... still CASH ONLY so prep for that. The shrimp, scallops and clams are only fried but there are tons of other choices. Portionsare more than generous. Get something unique like the oyster shooters. With cocktails lunch for two was just over a hundredbucks. Read more

The customer service was great and the crab cake appetizer was delicious. However, the fried jumbo shrimp didn?t have any... seasoning so they were just ok. Nothing to brag about. Read more
