Half Shell Lounge

"I smelled the most wonderful Aromas of cooking and found out that it was coming from the half shell so I was going to go in and have lunch and at the same time I had been walking so I had to pee I went in and asked a girl at the bar may I please use the bathroom he looked me up and down as if I was some I don't even know and then just gave me some rude answer about the guy in front of you has the key who just went out the door I said thank you have a good day and I left I wouldn't recommend any part of this place to anybody because I couldn't even get by the bartender simply to use the bathroom so as far as customer service in just overall genuine pleasantness this place is lacking it avoid at all costs doesn't even matter that they offer free beer"

"Want homemade food? A great burger at a no nonsense, personalized, little family bar? THIS is the place. Try it! It's good for you..."

"They completely over promised. They kept telling us to google maps and give a great rating and tell every one it was a diamond in the rough. It was just rough. We got the scallops. Promised to be huge, delicious blackened with a large portion. The scoops were small, mushy, tasteless, boring. We were the only customers in the whole place. Prices were quite high for a neighborhood dive bar. Chowder was promised as a huge bowl. Not. Bud light posters everywhere. Did they miss what Bud Light did to their customers? I love finding great mom and pop eateries that punch above their weight. This place is the opposite. I don't know how they stay in business."

"Half Shell Pam (on FB) owns this old school neighborhood tavern & Seafood Shack. She offers super friendly service, warm smiles & cold beer in a small place where everybody knows your name. (Even if you just walked in for the first time). I stopped in for beer & a bite after checking in to a motel across the street. I made my choice based upon the appetizing images found here on Google. Also the menu pricing seemed more than reasonable. I didn't know how reasonable until I sat down at the bar and was immediately smothered with friendly service and a suggestion to select the Friday Special dinner for $10.95 which involved a southern style country fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy. This dish was all I expected from good home cooking. The steak was fork tender, gravy flavorful, corn sweet, and taters smooth.... In fact, I had ordered the same meal the week before at a Ft Myers "Fancy" Southern restaurant and that dish had none of the attributes of this unassuming good ole home style goodness which cost $9 less). I am leaving town tomorrow, but if that weren't the case, I would be back to try everything on the menu! Especially the seafood platter I was fascinated with before the Friday Special caught my desire... yum Solid recommendation!"
