Our favorite place to eat. However we have never been inside. We have a mini wirehair Dachshund so we always eat outside. Staff super friendly and always bring our “Doxie” a water bowl. Everything we have ever had is great and good portions. Love the windmill ceiling fans. Wish I could find them. Great handicap parking. Considering how many dogs I see in SS many restaurants are missing doggy parents business.

This restaurant gets better by the minute, each dish was perfect, now that butter cake, OMG never tasted anything as flavorful. I got exactly and then some of what I paid for. These days customer service is non existent but not here. Everyone walk by ur table and make sure ur good.

It's my favorite place on the island. No matter what you order, save room for the buttercake. read more It's my favorite place on the island. No matter what you order, save room for the buttercake.

The cost per person was between $10 and $20. Overall, I would give the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5. Highly recommend!

My sister had a tuna taco starter, and she rated it a solid 4, saying it was filling enough for lunch. My husband had the grilled shrimp and fries, which he thought were good, although he felt the shrimp were more sautéed than grilled. The only downside was that there was one side instead of two with the main plate, and there were sports playing on the screens everywhere. Given that restaurants typically have more women than men, I think we should have more options, like music, for example.

One of my favorites on the island. Had a fun night for my friends' birthday. They even gave him free butter cake for the occasion. I will say that the service could be a little better, but it was a busy Saturday night, so I understand and still gave 5 stars.

I was bummed they didn?t have the triple tail fish special that I fell in love with the first time, but the catch of the day special was still delicious. The oysters were perfect both times. The crab cakes are not good. The cocktails are so so. Overall it?s a great spot to enjoy a meal.

Extremely busy and crowed lots of peoples don't wear mask, even the waiter and waitress. I'm worried now, extremely high risk of exposure.

We visited from Florida this past weekend and quickly found a seat at the bar and were not disappointed by a single thing. The Crab Bisque was so delicious that we came back for more the second night there. My husband ordered the Oysters Frederica and loved them. Food came out super fast and everything was the perfect temperature. Some of the locals were telling us that everything is delicious so it sounds like they are always doing it right! Thanks, Ashley, for a wonderful visit. We will be back for another of your Old Fashioned drinks.

Very recommended!

We ordered the steak with bacon wrapped green beans grits, as well as the blackened shrimp with onion rings, and a calamari appetizer. Every bite was better than the last.

The raw oysters we were served were perfect. They were shucked clean. The crab cake was delicious and the fresh catch was delicious. The stuffed crab flounder was very good. Our server, Selena, was very attentive and personable. The only negative was the Moscow Mull. Too much ginger beer. Ginger was all I could taste.

While I was looking at the menu another customer was telling me how great the food was and to get the flounder. It was alittle busy and they told me the wait would be 20mins but we got a table in 5minutes. Crab Crusted Oysters: 8/10 I felt like the crab took away the oyster taste Caesar Salad: 10/10 How can you go wrong with a classic salad?! You can't! Whole Blackened Flounder w/Bacon Wrapped Green Beans: 1000/10 This plate was soooo good and fresh.

My mom liked her mule, and I liked my strawberry basil mule. The tequila oyster shooter was fun, and the oyster that went with it was enormous. I wish I could remember our server's name to give her a shoutout, because she was really, really great.

We dined outdoors, enjoying a pleasant breeze and excellent service. The food was incredible, especially considering the great prices for such delicious meals. They also offered a gluten-free menu and took great care with my meal to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I highly recommend this restaurant!

As for parking, we had to park in an alley and then walked to The Half Shell. Afterward, we strolled to the lighthouse, pier, and explored many shops along the strip before indulging in some ice cream."
