Edited: Went back. Still fantastic. Added pix.
I cannot believe I took no pictures! The oysters were great! My chef salad was huge & delicious. The steaks my friends ordered were top-notch.
Half Shell is a great after work or afternoon watering hole. The staff is amazing and friendly. The oysters are amazing and prepared to perfection. I have yet to have a bad meal here. The Louisiana Grilled Oysters are my favorite thing to get along with the red beans and rice.
INCREDIBLE!! I love going here and don’t get a chance often enough. This is a Memphis staple and has been here for decades.
We started with the fried mushrooms which were DYNAMITE. They were crispy and came with a light coating of Parmesan cheese and a horseradish-based tiger sauce for dipping.
I had the crab bisque which was KILLER good - rich and creamy with crab meat floating in the middle. For dinner I had the MONTE CRISTO. That’s right, there are a few places which still serve this magical sandwich which hits all of us he essential flavors - salt, fat, acid, heat. It comes with a honey mustard dipping sauce that complements it perfectly.
The ambiance is wonderful and the service a great. Check it out when you get a chance.
Ok. I’m adding the BEST music anywhere - 1970s rock and roll!!
One of the gems in Memphis. Truly wonderful. Mary our server was excellent. Food was delicious, nothing left on the plate. Will be back.
