What T Hall doesn't like about The Half Shell, LLC:
Just go to the grocery store. 71 dollars for two catfish fillets, four sides and a double shot of Jack. Gratuity is automatically added to your bill no matter the size of your group. The spinach and broccoli were overcooked. Red beans and rice had cheese on them and onions. Tasted more like chili. Nope..nope…nopeFood: 2/5 View all feedback. What Haley Writt likes about The Half Shell, LLC:
This is a place I greatly enjoy and there isn't often a wait. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there have been times that the food quality has greatly differed. The seafood gumbo had great Cajun flavor. My other favorites are the seafood nachos and coconut shrimp. There is something for almost every taste which is great for larger groups or diverse palates.

This is the mandatory place to go in MemphisThat doesn't keep it from being crazily overpriced, $10 for parking and then $50 per person.

The Half Shell restaurant offers a mixed dining experience based on recent customer reviews. Some diners complained of subpar service, inaccurate food descriptions, and added gratuity charges, while others praised the attentive staff, delicious seafood gumbo, and coconut shrimp. The inconsistency in food quality and service levels seemed to be a recurring theme among reviewers. However, the diverse menu offerings and tasty drinks were highlighted as reasons to visit the restaurant. Overall, opinions on The Half Shell were divided, with some patrons vowing never to return and others adding it to their list of go-to restaurants.

Good food and service. Nice relaxing meal any time I have gone there. Personally can't go wrong with Gumbo or the weekly specials.
