half shell oyster house

party of 3 received and seated efficiently and politely. copper ridge merlot was nice. 1 doz oysters bienville excellent. 1 doz. raw oysters cold fresh and delicious. all oysters weregoodsize. seafood pasta was very good, topped with numerous large lumps of crab meat. half shell pasta topped with fried oysters:  pasta b, oysters a. grouper might have been grouper, but i doubt it. waitress was professionally pleasant and perfect. well worthy of future visits.

this was my second visit to half shell, and it was just asgoodas the first. it was after 6 on a sat and there was already a 20 min wait to be seated. the décor is a pleasant new orleans vibe. the menu slants toward seafood but is large enough to find something else if need be. service is verygoodbut most surprising with a packed house was how quickly the food arrived.

we started off with the crab & lobster dip which is incredibly rich and delicious. it comes with bread rounds that i prefer were toasted. we then had the gumbo and half shell salad as substitutes for one of the sides. both were excellent. the entrees we tried were grouper and the grilled seafood sampler. the grouper was herb and parmesan encrusted over sautéed spinach and covered in jumbo lump crab meat. it appeared to be a small piece of fish on a small plate, but it was stacked high and very filling. the side vegetables are almost large enough to share. the seafood sampler contained shrimp, oysters, grouper, and crab cake. the pieces were small but overall satisfying.

highly recommended and i look forward to returning. hard to believe this is a chain.

food is great. love this place. my low rating is for the man who decided to build it in a strip mall and make it so small. my wife and i would come more often but who wants to get at a place before 6:00 pm and be told you have an hour wait? too many othergoodplaces to eat to have to deal with that.

very, very good! i had the mahi mahi with pineapple salsa. the fish wasgoodbut that salsa was absolutely delicious and i already want more. key lime pie for dessert was the perfect way to finish. service was excellent. i will be back.

one of the best things that's happened to flowood! the oysters are fresh and flavorful. the chargrilled ones anyway. had a collection of apps for a late lunch on a saturday. i'd have to say from the order in which the hit the table to the dipping sauce. it is all verygoodseafood!

guaranteed the same oysters at every location. goodatmosphere and my waiter was attentive. i had to sit in the bar area but this location has booths so not a bad seat. i had special instructions for preparing my side dishes and they were cooked to order. try everything , this place mass produces food but it's worthy of repeat visits.

good new addition located in flowood, ms in the dogwood area. recently opened.goodfood. great service!!!!! if you like seafood and oyster, this is the place.
