Stopped for dinner. It was one of the cleanest Shells restaurants we’ve been in. The waitress we had was great. Friendly and friendly to the children that were with us. We were promptly seated but the meal took a while to come. Two of our party had the lobster bisque and it was very thick. They wouldn’t order it again. The fisherman’s platter was good. Not outstanding. The fish was good. The scallops were bay scallops and bay scallops and not the sea scallops which I missed when ordering. The jambalaya was amazing. The shrimp was big and sausage was tasty. The salmon was very good as well. The smothered chicken sandwich was tasty. A good portion.

Delicious food and excellent service very clean, cute decor, down to the detailed specials and drawings on the walls. We ordered the clams that came in a wine, garlic, butter sauce. It was a bit on the salty side, but still delicious. I ordered the crab cakes with the steamed veggies, red potatoes, and fried shrimp. Crab cakes were good, sweet crab, and veggies inside. I think there may have been a bit of shell as I chewed on some very crunchy bits. The flavors were solid. I loved the veggies they came perfectly seasoned. The shrimp were also very delicious. My husband’s seafood stew over rice came complete with fish, scallops, shrimp, clams in a tomato sauce. Looked and smelled heavenly. My daughter got the salmon dish that came with a crab cream sauce, over asparagus. She ate every last bite, and the dish looked very appetizing as well. Overall the experience was terrific. Our server was very polite, quick to help with anything we needed, and very friendly, I happily gave her a good tip as she deserved it for the service she provided. Thankful to the whole kitchen and staff at this location highly recommend.

Always delicious. One of a very few places whee there are more clams than potatoes in the chowder. Used to bribe our daughter with a quart of their chowder if she stayed home and babysat while the adults went out.

Friendly staff and still one of my favorites! The lobster bisque was a bit too salty and grainy but the Salmon Felix and Lobster Pasta were great. And oh, I ordered grilled shrimp on skewers on the side!

I’m just disgusted. I order from Shell’s often, so I can’t believe the experience I just had with them. Every single item I ordered was horrible. I was just bragging about how good their buffalo chicken strips were to my sister, and the joke’s on me. I ordered the buffalo chicken strips like always, fries, and an add-on piece of fish. Sigh. I got regular fried strips that were literally taking an oil bath. The tortilla chips underneath were soaked in grease and inedible. The fries were soggy, and that ridiculous $6 sliver of fish was cold and rubbery. I called the restaurant, and BRAD answered the phone. I asked to speak to a manager, and he advised that any complaints or refunds had to be requested thru Door Dash, refusing to put the manager on the phone. No problem. I just won’t eat here again. A little customer service goes a long way, BRAD.

Absolutely the best! I was recommended the salmon under the specialty menu. It was a little pricey- but so so so worth it. The crab on to was so delicious and the salmon was moist and cooked just right. I didnt the steamed veggies and rice- perfect complement!!! The service was great too. Our server- she was soo sweet and on top of keeping drinks full.

Service was good, food was hit and miss. My fried platter was overcooked. Honestly when the butter potatoes are the best part of the seafood plate, there is an issue. However, my co-worker’s meal was very good.

Well it was pretty gross. Very disappointed. The pasta was undercooked. The “sauce ” on my noodles was very reminiscent of melted butter poured into milk. The seafood in my seafood pasta was rubbery and underwhelming considering the proximity to the ocean. Our waitress was friendly and professional but I walked out hungry with a one hundred-twenty dollar tab. When I explained that the food was not good she said ” Maybe you don’t like the sauce. Maybe next time you will” I’m hoping it was just an off night because the ratings are way higher than I can imagine for the quality of food my family received.

Absolutely phenomenal! Large portion size. Extremely fresh fish. First picture is of the smoked fish appetizer. Nice Smokey flavor, comes with onion and pickle garnish, saltines and optional hot sauce. Next we had their famous clam chowder. The clans were sweet and fresh, every bite delicious. Mr. Had the Big Easy. Mahi with a bay scallops and shrimp topping in a zesty (not spicy) red sauce with grilled veggies and the Mandarin coleslaw. I had the salmon Felix, a succulent slab of salmon festooned with lump crab meat and roasted red peppers in a delicious lobster sauce with asparagus. We also had the happy hour margaritas, which surprisingly had a good amount of alcohol for a happy hour drink. It’s has been about 15 years since I’ve eaten at shell’s. Here’s wishing they would reopen in Ocala. Great service from Danae, who although had many tables on a busy night provided superlative table service.
