The Half Shell SSI

We had a really good meal at The Half Shell. Started with the open-faced tuna tacos appetizer, which were fresh and well done. For dinner we had the crab cakes, crab BLT, and grilled shrimp, all served with sidewinder fries and a variety of dipping sauces. Everything tasted great and was nicely portioned. Cassie was our server and did a solid job—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We also tried the drink of the day, the Mistletoe Martini, made with gin, elderflower, and cranberry. We went with gin and it was a good choice. Overall, a good experience with good food and service.

Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. I’ve been twice and had no wait probably because it was off-season, but I’ve heard it gets busy during peak summer for good reason. Everything we ordered was solid, and the cocktails were excellent, especially the Half Shell Bloody Mary. The food was flavorful without being too heavy, and I left feeling full but not weighed down. Definitely recommend.

Visiting here for the first time from Ohio. Excellent place our food was amazing. Raw oysters were incredible.cassi our Server was very professional and made us feel very welcome. Great Job Half Shell!!!

The service and outside patio was fantastic. Even though the ceviche, my shrimp and grits, and my wife’s Mahi were great, the flounder was very bland. Overall it was a great experience and the food was good. Will definitely come back for the grits.

As a party of 2 adults, a teen and a 10 year old, we sat outside under the covered porch. It was a cool evening and perfect weather. The service was top notch! We never wanted for anything and at the end of the meal, our server even brought us a slice of butter cake with vanilla ice cream that had been mistakenly made (no charge for us)! We ordered quite the feast and it was all amazing! The calamari perfectly seasoned, tender; the shrimp ceviche was delicious on the fried wontons; oysters were AMAZING, and such a treat with a Bloody Mary style shooter! For dinner, Blackened Magi cooked to perfection! I highly recommend the grits and the bacon wrapped greens as sides. Even the onion rings were amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting St Simons Island! On the nigh
