Half Shell Oyster House 70367 Louisiana 21, Covington, LA 70433

"This is our favorite place to eat. It truly is phenomenal! We drive a ways to go eat there. Our waiter Riley was awesome an is our favorite. You don't have to ask for any anything, he's the best! There is not one thing we've tried that wasn't cooked to perfection! If you haven't ever tried it...go try it. We call it our honey hole! Until next time thank you Half Shell Oysters House, see you again soon!"

"Update 1/5/24: we arrived at 3 pm on a Friday to dine at the Covington location. There was no waiter and no bartender. The hostess said she let them know we were there. We left after waiting 15 minutes. We took our money across the street to Boulevard restaurant. If this place isn't careful, it will go belly up just like the other casualties of COVID. We have been here before, never had bad service like this."

"I all most do not want to share the local hangout as our lunch experience was so AMAZING. From the moment Wendolyn our waitress came and introduce her self and said she was taking care of us Kudos to her. We had some of the best Darn oyster from LA, they were so good and tasty!!! If it was not for price for dozen we could of easily had 3 dozen. Lunch menu is great if you want smaller portions. The wine selection is just okay. This is where they could improve in a better selections of white and red. If we lived near bye I would make this restaurant a regular weekly hangout. The whole experience was outstanding."

"I stopped in while I was out of town on business here. Had a lot of seafood platters from a lot of different restaurants. This was just one of them. The catfish was good not a very heavy breading but good flavor. The shrimp was flavored and breaded lightly. I was hoping the flavoring would be similar to the catfish but was a little disappointed. The crab cake was good but not the best Ive had. It wasn't as flavorful and wasn't fried terribly well. The hush puppies were solid. Overall I could say this place was pretty good but not necessarily the best. It is absolutely worth trying, they will give you a very competent meal with very good service."

"Everything about this place was pretty awesome starting with the WONDERFUL service my party and I received from Ali. Do yourself a favor and request her as a server. She knows the menu like she wrote it. No matter how many questions we asked about the food or drinks she was ready from descriptions to suggestions all while smiling and treating us like we were her friends. Thank you Ali! The restaurant has plenty of parking and easily accessible off of I12. There wasn't any wait on a Friday night but there was plenty of people there. The food was delicious. The oyster was fresh which is always a plus. I do recommend ordering some of those crab claws with the cajun sauce and the fried okra! Oh my goodness they were special. All of the food was pretty delicious and came out really quick. This place should be on a list of MUST try for yourself!"
