Our lunch was one of the best we had on our month-long trip to Florida and Mississippi. We had charbroiled oysters as an appetizer and they were incredible. I also had the redfish and my husband had the French Dip. We shared my side, a sweet potato crème brûlée, which served as a delicious dessert for us. Kat, our server, was awesome. She was very friendly and provided impeccable service. It was a wonderful dining experience!

Definitely the best restaurant in Biloxi. Oysters are good. Fried crab claws are a standout. Seafood pasta is good. The orleans redfish was good. The sweet potato crème brulee is excellent. The salads and crab cakes could use some improvement. The old building and the interior are beautiful and I love the vibe.

If you’re in Biloxi and even remotely like oysters, Half Shell Oyster House is a must. First of all, the oyster dishes here are on another level. You absolutely have to try at least one (or several) of their oyster options. What really sets this place apart is the sauces—they’re clearly not an afterthought. Each oyster dish comes with its own unique sauce, and you can tell a lot of care went into balancing flavors. Rich, buttery, savory, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering the oysters themselves. We also ordered steak, and honestly, it exceeded expectations. The steak was cooked well and flavorful on its own, but the real surprise was the steak sauce. It wasn’t just a generic sauce on the side—it added depth and character and elevated the whole dish. You don’t usually remember st

This place was fantastic! We had a group of at least 24 people, and that could be a nightmare on both fronts. However, the service was outstanding, we had Vincent, who was very personable and on top of it. However, what started the evening was Wayne preparing multiple tables for this insanely large group that I was a part of. He was professional and happy to accommodate us. The food was brought out very timely and it was delicious. There was not one complaint with anyone from this large group. Thank you to all the servers because we know what a nightmare it could be trying to satisfy a large group like this, but y’all were awesome.

Food was amazing, but waitress wasn’t nice to us. == Dozen raw oysters 🦪 : Oysters were so fresh and plump! Best part was that we had no sand in all of our oysters. Seafood pasta 🦞: Sauce was delicious, but the noodles were a little overcooked which made the whole dish very mushy and cloyed Blackened fish 🐟: Can do without, wasn’t memorable Crabcakes 🦀: A must order! We enjoyed this dish the most but be careful of crab shells == We brought the “free starters” coupon from the marathon and I guess the waitress thought we weren’t paying customers (only wanted free food and water). We started our order with oysters for appetizers, but instead of writing it down she used her pen to poke at the “starters” section, as if she thought we wanted to order oysters with the free coupon. We were so
