Shells - Lakeland

Went today with family for lunch. Donya was our server. She was fantastic, very sweet. She was checking on us regularly. Brought our food out quickly and kept our drinks full. Food was delicious. Will go again and hope to get Donya as our server again.

Excellent service and I like the atmosphere. Food was brought out quickly and was good. I had a bowl of their clam chowder and it had more clams in it than I've ever seen. The flavor was good. I also ordered the shrimp pasta. It was good and had plenty of shrimp. For me, neither of these dishes were what I would call home runs but I would order them again. However, my wife had the coconut shrimp with coleslaw and red potatoes. When it comes to coleslaw, she can be very picky as she makes great slaw at home. She loved the coleslaw here.Also she really liked the shrimp stating they must make it here because it's not like the frozen coconut shrimp she usually gets served. She also thought the red potatoes were very good. Overall this was a good experience and the bill, including a beer and ice tea came out to $46 incl tax. We left a 20% tip as our waitress was very good.

Shells has become a go to for us. Food quality and service are consistently good. That seems to be increasing hard to find in Lakeland.

One of the best seafood dinners I've ever had! Fantastic clam chowder. Had the blackened grouper with Big Easy sauce. Veggies were delightful. You could tell that everything was made from scratch.Service was great the hostess found us a booth with very little wait. Our server helped me figure out what to order invaluable when trying a new restaurant! The manager stopped by to check how our meal was you could tell he was sincerely interested not just doing the circuit of the room.I had a wonderful sangria with dinner. There is a bar that looked interesting but we didn't stop on our way out.Really looking forward to the next time we're in the area. We'll be stopping by again! One of the times when trying a new restaurant on a whim led to the discovery of a treasure.

I had a great meal at this restaurant with coconut shrimp, fries, and a side salad. All the food was delicious. The salad was fresh and crispy. The fries were piping hot, just how I like them. The shrimp had a nice touch of sweetness. The service was friendly and attentive.
