Went for lunch and the lunch menu was very limited. The online website needs seriously updated. One of us got the cheese steak which was severd with no mayo. Had to ask the waitress for some. I got the baja shrimp wrap. No spices and no flavor at all. Theshrimp were very cold. More likely will not be back.

We used to love the half shell, but it's gone downhill. Our Mac and cheese bits were still frozen in the middle. The chicken and rice bowl was on a metal dish, and was just Chicken and Rice with tons of sauce. My shrimp was undercooked. Our server wasawesome and it's a cool place to go if you are just going to drink.

It's a great place to go to if you need a drink with your boyfriend :)Servers are really nice and the strawberry shortcake is very goodParking: There's plenty of spots to park but it can be hard to tell where you are after dark.

How to be ripped off by restaurant and then put blame on customer. Went to 1/2 shell last night for wings. They advertised $1.00 wings 4-7pm. There at 5 ordered 10 wings. Bill came charges $15.50. Asked waitress bill should be $10.00. She said owner said charge $1 only if customer asked for $1 wings. So they advertised $1 wings I ordered wings but because I did not specifically ask for $1 wings I was charge regular price. Wonder about quality of those $1 wings. Just sayingFormer Customer
