Half Shell Oyster House Of Birmingham

Amazing that they’re “temporary closed for renovations” but they haven’t had trash or dumpster service for over two months. Seems like if you were renovating people would be inside working, and you’d need a dumpster. This place is permanently closed. I’m not buying the temporarily closed shenanigans. Update: The grass and weeds at this place are so high it’s a neighborhood eyesore. Apparently they quit landscaping as well. Also there is a homeless guy that now lives on their porch.

Dined alone lunchtime on a Monday. Ordered the Seafood Pot Pie.. I ADORE pot pies so I was excited when the newly trained )waiter said it was very good and large… It came to my table and I asked,” what is that”?There was a rectangle on a dish of was pot pie innards .. Plopped on top was supposedly, “ the crust”. Oh my…If you are not going to make a decent pot pie , dont for gosh sake put it on the menu! The seafood inside was barely edible… Hope my next visit to The Half Shell in Pelham will be mucho better.

The food was very good and the portion sizes perfect. Not being a seafood fan, I appreciated the various land-based options. The chicken Alfredo was excellent! Service was very good; they were attentive but didn’t hover, answered questions thoroughly without blinking an eye, and anticipated our every need. Highly recommend this place!

Food was very good. Not very busy. Prompt service. Ate there two nights in a row on this trip.

During Christmas time my wife and I were hungry and stopped by Half Shell for something to eat. As it was Christmas Eve it wasn't packed so the food came out really fast. I ordered the blackened fish, sweet potato creme brulee loaded mash potatoes. My wife had the fried shrimp, cup of gumbo and a side salad. We've been to the one in Biloxi several times so we were very familiar with the food and this location didn't disappoint either. The fish was really good and my fork went through it like butter and I'm obsessed with the sweet potato creme brulee(ugh..so good)! We had a good time and left full. Next time I come back home I'll definitely stop by for round 2, LOL!
