Half Shells Seafood

"We ordered 1/2 dozen gulf oysters and another 1/2 dozen Chesapeake bay oysters after Tristan our waiter recommended them. They were amazing! We then shared the catfish plate which they separated for us. The coleslaw, tarter and cocktail sauces are all homemade and excellent. Tristan was extremely attentive and helpful without being intrusive. We are from Arkansas but if we lived here this would be a regular place for us."

"I love Half Shells patio and their fish and chips! It’s always cooked just right and not greasy. The patio is wonderful for families or dates. Love that there is a green plaza area outside for kids. The remodel is so beautiful. Love this place! Try the delicious crab cakes!"

"So this was a follow up visit as the last time we went, we didn't have a great experience so we tried it again. Well this time was spectacular. Food came out quickly and delicious. Look at the pics! We had the sampler appetizer and it was great. Hot and fresh. The calamari was crispy and the crab dip was very tasty with the chips and fried pickles. I also had a cup of gumbo which was also delicous. But the stars of the show were the entrees. I had the blackened mahi mahi with green beans and lemon rice and my wife had the salmon power salad. We both ate it all! Wife said it was a great piece of fish and I said the same. Pricing was excellent as those entries would easily be $30 plus elsewhere. Needless to say, we will be back. Thanks !"

"Just had an incredible meal at Half Shells! Found it by accident & feel so fortunate. We were welcomed with a sampler platter of soups & oyster nachos. Each soup was delicious, but loved the roasted jalapeno soup & the Gumbo. We loved the oyster nachos so much we ordered a full helping. So good! Dinner was Crab Stuffed Salmon and Shrimp/Crab stuffed flounder, both served with scrumptious sides and lip-smacking sauces. Can't wait to go back! Delicious food, big portions, great prices, friendly service & relaxing atmosphere!"

"My family and I recently wanted to go out to celebrate a special occasion. The weather was nice so we decided to go somewhere where we could eat outside on a patio. We decided to head to La Centerra at Cinco Ranch and walk around until wee saw a place that caught our eye. Half Shells had a nice open patio facing a green space which was great for getting a breeze and people watching. We decided to give them a try and were very glad we did. The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent! Its a little pricy - but keep your eyes open as Half Shells sends out coupons in local mailers from times to times (we actually had a $10 off coupon). I can't say enough about the service we received from our waiter Kyle! He was awesome - very nice, checked on us often, offered us a small sampler since it was our first trip, and made some menu recommendations that we took his advice on - that were excellent!! He recommended the Lobster and Shrimp Grilled Cheese - which honestly is one of the best seafood sandwiches I have ever had! We also had the fish tacos, and grilled fish sandwich which were also very good...but the star of the night was the Lobster and Shrimp Grilled Cheese!!! Kyle's awesome service alone made the visit worth while, but the food was also worth the price I thought. My only issue with our trip was that in the green space we were facing a kid was blowing bubbles that were blowing directly onto the patio. At first it didn't seem like a big deal - but after a few bubbles hitting us and our food it was a little annoying (not the restaurants fault I guess since it wasn't on their property). Give this place a try - ask for Kyle as your waiter, and try the seafood grilled cheese - you won't bee disappointed! REVISED - also visited on 06/25/23. Another great meal and atmosphere. Stephanie was our waitress who was very nice and took excellent care of us. We celebrated my wife's birthday and the restaurant treated us awesome. It was a great day and another great trip to dine at this location. BTW - had the seafood enchiladas this time - and they were awesome! Salmon, Mahi, and Shrimp all wrapped up in great enchiladas with excellent rice and bean sides - for $12.99 is a perfect dish. Again - highly recommend this place!"
