Finally made it here to give Kelly's Half Shell a try and we are so glad we did. We went the smoke salmon fish dip, 6 raw oysters, and since we were at an Irish Pub, the wife went with Shepherd's pie and I went with the classic Fish & Chips. Everything was absolutely delicious and Adam was great all around. If you order the Shepherd's pie, it is cooked to order, so it will be about 20-25 minutes, but well worth it. Had a few specialty drinks to top it all off with. You WILL be seeing us again.

My friends and I went to Kelly’s Half Shell for lunch, and it ended up being some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was comfortable, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu clearly. We had the Buffalo-Blue Wexford Wings — ordered crispy! — piled with plenty of bleu cheese crumbles, and they came out perfectly sauced and flavorful. The Bacon Wrapped Shrimp were cooked with crisp bacon and served in a rich tequila-lime butter with mashed avocado, and the Charbroiled Oysters had a golden, bubbling topping of garlic-thyme butter, parmesan, and seasoning. We also enjoyed the Mini Melt from the Happy Hour menu and the Reuben Eggrolls, and everything came out hot, generous in portion, and full of great flavor exactly as described. Highly re

What a great find. Stopped in on my way up to Tallahassee and had dinner at the bar. Adam, the bartender, was friendly and attentive. I had two different types of oysters, some lobster bisque, and homemade key lime pie. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back!
