One of my favorite local seafood spots. The oyster nachos are a must especially when it’s oyster season. They are fried oysters on top of a lovely chipotle tartar sauce resting on a tortilla chip topped with a house made pico de gallo. They used to have a really nice chip but now it’s just a commercial tortilla chip but it’s still yummy. The lobster grilled cheese sandwich is deliciously decadent. Chunks of lobster, gooey cheese, and buttery bread. I got it with their house made potato chips which were a treat. I asked for extra seasoning on them. You can’t go wrong with the fried shrimp which were fresh, lightly seasoned, nicely fried with just the right amount of batter served with seasoned fries. If you are not in the mood for seafood, the chicken and sausage with red beans and rice are full of flavor and will not disappoint. The specials on the chalkboard are usually a good choice as well. Definitely try it if you are in the area.

I was in town for a work conference and stopped by Half Shells for happy hour. Everything was excellent.
I had the clam chowder, fishwich, and an Old Fashion, and each one was spot on. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the drink was perfectly made.
Catherine the bartender was amazing. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming, she made my first visit even better. Great atmosphere and a perfect happy hour spot. I will definitely be back.

We love coming here. The new location is so pretty. Food is decent. Our serve is very nice and attentive. I actually had their season recommendation Slow pot roast. Surprisingly delicious from a seafoods restaurant.

Excellent! Just happened in for lunch, first timers. Very clean and sound level good for conversation. Because we were first timers, our waiter Emanuel (nice guy) brought us a sample of the Smoked Trout Dip – which was great! Definitely a great starter. We ordered the smash burger and a salad to split, but our waiter did the work for us. I didn’t get a pic but they also had a fresh seafood bar. Overall a sound eating experience, looking forward to going back and exploring the menu a bit. Lunch for 2 w/o alcohol $35.

We had a wonderful meal at Half Shells with the Shrimp and Grits and the Fish and Chips platters setting the stage. We have been coming to this restaurant in Legacy East for many years and it stays in business because it delivers great seafood at a reasonable price. The Shrimp and Grits were a black board special and only $17. Our service is always great too! We highly recommend Half Shells.

Oysters are very good, some of the best I’ve had in Texas. Briny – tastes just like the ocean. Took my wife and son here for a rainy Valentine’s Day and ROD our server brought our leftover chocolate mousse to our car because we forgot. Excellent customer service. Thank you ROD and Half Shells!

Delicious and fantastic atmosphere. Visiting in the area and will definitely want to return to this spot. The seafood was high quality and full of flavor. Every dish that came out looked amazing around me. I sat outside in the front, there was live music near me and there was a great social/happy atmosphere. The prices were great for the quality of the dishes. The adult beverages were high quality also and worth purchasing. I only gave four stars instead of five on service because it took a little bit of time for our server to come to our table (about five minutes). Once she started serving us though, the service quality was attentive and quick.

I ordered an oyster dish that came with a very nice mignonette (I forget what it was called) and the fish and chips. The oysters were very good quality and super fresh. Service was quick and our waiter , Austin, was great. He even gave us a sample of one of their new oyster dishes, which was lovely. The fish and chips was excellent, probably the best I’ve had in this area. It was really crispy and flaky on the outside without being even a little bit greasy, and the cod inside was super buttery and well-seasoned. The housemade tartar sauce was also good. I also tried a piece of the garlic caper salmon, which was excellent! The beurre blanc was extremely flavorful. I highly recommend this place.
