I went yesterday as a small group of 3. Michelle was such an awesome server and she has been there forever so you can definitely count on her to be able answer your questions. It was our first time and Lauren the manager stopped by to check on us! Everything my was perfect and super enjoyable. I had the poutine and couldn’t finish all in one sitting (I think I conquered enough of it). I’d highly recommend the Tropical Delight if you’re a sweet fan for your drinks. Beautiful atmosphere we will definitely be stopping by again! Thank you!!!

Stopped into The Shelby for an unplanned dinner and was seated almost right away. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. My wife and I started with the wings, which were cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. We both ordered burgers after that, and they were equally top-notch. The second patio dining area was open during our visit, offering a relaxed, stylish atmosphere that was a bit quieter than the main dining space, perfect for conversation. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back.

We've been to the Shelby several times over the years and they are always consistent. Service was excellent...prompt, always checking on us, friendly. We went with another couple. My wife and her friend shared the Paella, her husband had the pork chop with a double bone! I had the short rib "moussaka". I put that in quotes because it's not a traditional moussaka, but it's their spin on the dish. The Paella had very good flavor seafood was cooked to perfection, and was presented in a attractive double handle pan. My wife said the chorizo was the star of the dish. The Pork chop was very flavorful, it tasted like it had been brined, and the seasoning was just right. However, it was just slightly overcooked so it came out a little on the dry side. My moussaka had excellent flavor, a
