They change their menu seasonally and always have great selection of food. Usually the specialty is seafood with great sauces on them. One of my favorite places to eat. Sometimes you have to wait for a table but not very long. More

I visit the restaurant every 10-14 days. The seafood is great as is the Strip Steak Sandwhich. It will melt in your mouth! The lobster brushetta is a great way to start a meal and wrap it up with Key lime pie. You cant go wrong at the Half Shell. It can get pretty noisy near the bar so if... More

We went for lunch and had a wonderful lunch! Prices were good and the quality and quantity of food was great! We also had great service, especially considering we were a large group! The shrimp nachos were extremely good as well as the brushetta. The portions are large and the Voodoo dishes were amazing!! I wish we had one locally... More

My boyfriend and I were staying overnight in Memphis for business and decided to try a new restaurant. We both love seafood so we decided to go here. Our server Stephani was excellent. She paid close attention to our needs while not being nagging. She was extremely sweet also. I would highly recommend getting her as a server. Food was... More

Okay Memphis must be known for rude people. I have met my share this four days there. Half Shell at the location off of 385. Food was great. Server was a little slow but would respond when called. The hostess was not to be found. We came in, the place was not crowded, well three tables with people. Okay we... More

I was expecting some good seafood but what I got was one step below Red Lobster. I ordered the fried soft shell crabs that waitress described as large. What came out were two crabs that made plate look empty and they were "swimming" in some kind of butter sauce. Sent them back and got a cajun chicken pasta that was... More

If you like seafood and you can't make the usual 7-8pm dinner date time, stop by Half Shell on Mendenhall or Winchester. I like the shrimp, the spinach, and the baked potatoes. The outdoor seating is really good for a cool night in Memphis. I know this may sound like a commercial but for people with jobs that work non-traditional... More

Great selection of items as well as prices. The salads are fresh and Huge, enought to easily share. I had the steak sandwich, and can't quit thinking about it. My wife had Voo Doo catfish that was awesome. I can't wait to get back and try some of the other items. Restaurant is clean and the service was very good. More
