Social Profile:

The Half Shell started out as a very small place with a few tables and a bar. A fun little joint where you could get oysters, shrimp, hamburgers, and really cold beer. It had the atmosphere of an old Panama City Beach dive with walls covered in dollar bills signed by customers. The cooking line was right behind the bar, so your bartender was also the cook. Customers from that time still talk about the old place. On November, 1st 1996 we moved to our current location. We also moved over a thousand dollar bills that had been stapled to the walls. That tradition continued for several years and the money was later donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital in Birmingham.

We stopped by chance here in August and it was a perfect hidden gem. The service is awesome and the food was fantastic. We are headed back through and plan to stop. A must try especially if you like oysters.

Half Shell our go-to spot when we’re craving seafood in Troy. It’s basically the only place in town where you can enjoy delicious oysters, whether baked or fresh with cocktail sauce. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and although it’s not super fancy, the service is great and the bartenders are friendly. On weekends, you can even catch some live music, adding to the laid-back vibe. Overall, it’s a perfect place for a casual seafood dinner with family or friends.

Stopped on our way to the beach. We rarely drive past either coming from or going to the beach, this is a must stop.
Today our server was Olivia. She knows how to make a person feel special.
Our oysters were perfect (as usual). Great atmosphere and fabulous food and service.

The only issue I have with the place is, online it says they will close at 9 but we walked in and it’s 7:50 and they are closed. I think if they are going to close early and they have done this more than once. They need to change it online. That’s poor as the company to do that for people that come and want to eat there. Food and atmosphere is amazing I love the place but that is 1 issue. That’s needs to be changed

I’ll start by saying I live on the gulf so I’m very picky about seafood.

We stopped on our way to Birmingham for a quick bite. I’d passed by before and was curious about the food quality.

I ordered the fried shrimp platter with slaw and fries with a Michelob Ultra on tap. The beer was COLD. I wouldn’t call it a platter but more of a plate. Don’t get me wrong, it’s more than enough food but a platter is something you should have leftovers from. The shrimp were fresh and battered properly. The slaw was really good, fries were not greasy and very hot and fresh. Hush puppies were fair for frozen. The wife ordered the fish and shrimp basket. Basically a platter minus one side. (Sorry no pic). She liked it and she’s very picky about her fish.

I’d recommend it and we will probably stop by next time we pass through.

Good lunch stop on our way home. We had the Chef’s Salad and Shrimp Salad. The shrimp was really tasty. Definitely a local place. Great service at the bar.

It was very busy, so we had a bit of a wait, but the staff was friendly and kept us with plenty of refills on our drinks. Food was delicious, and portion sizes were very generous.
