Half Shell Oyster House

The most delicious restaurant you’ll ever have. If you love oysters or are skeptical I recommend you come try this place out! My husband and I have never been a fan of oysters until coming here! We got the Rockefeller then the Cajun one. They’re sooooo mouth watering and delicious. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was amazing. But I think next time I could’ve eaten nothing but oysters (That’s how good they are). The sweet potato side of crème brûlée was perfection. I got a side of asparagus and it was tasty too. Definitely go, you will not be disappointed. Probably the best restaurant I’ve ever been to.

Quinn was such a wonderful waiter! I am very limited to what I can eat due to health issues, & have to stay away from most animal products! Quinn was kind & patient in helping me figure out something I could eat— to the extent of making a little bowl of veggies that the chef could throw on my pasta (so there would be no confusion)! And I could tell he knew a little something about food restrictions, as he was able to tell me about restricted items in ingredients before I even had to ask! Food was delicious for both the restricted & “normal” eaters! Atmosphere energy matched the service & food!

Our first visit when in the Gulfport area... the atmosphere was nice... and the food was good... and they had shrimp and grits... a favorite of Richs... Chip was our waiter... and was great... as a long time local he could provide much historical information about the area... We enjoyed our visit and would visit again...

Our parents recently celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary, and we were looking for the perfect place to gather for a meal after their church blessing. Based on our previous visits to Half Shell, we knew it would be an excellent choice for hosting a large family get-together. We contacted the restaurant to arrange an afternoon Gulf Coast–style meal, and for a party of our size, we worked closely with the manager, Cassie, to create a limited menu featuring Mom and Dad’s favorite dishes. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well organized. When we arrived, the space was beautifully set up and ready for us. We were assigned a lead waitress, Ashley, along with waiter Donavon, and they were both outstanding. The Half Shell team truly exceeded our expectations! Custom menus were printed

Best meal I’ve had in Mississippi… Charbroiled Oysters, Redfish Orleans with Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée
