This is an adorable gem at Snider Plaza. My best friend and I stopped at Half Shells for lunch when we arrived to Dallas from Austin. We were famished so we got to try a few items on the menu. Here's what I have to say about Half Shells:
Atmosphere: the place is small, cozy and beautifully decorate
Tiny little hole in the wall with way too many tables crammed inside. If you are claustrophobic, this is not your jam. But, the food was great, especially the lobster and shrimp grilled cheese and oyster poboy. It did take forever to get our checks and drinks, but the attitudes of the wait staff wer
First visit here and everything was delicious!! Our waiter, Arturo, was great and asked if we'd been before. We said no and a manager, Tony, came out to give us a complementary soup sampler for us. I would absolutely recommend this place and we will be back when visiting Dallas again. We had oysters
Omg! The oysters here are amazing. I mean I thought they were great at another place but these are just as good to me. I love oysters but they were a lot smaller than usual. I like the vibe in the restaurant. I went early so the Peking was a little easy.
Awesome place! Their oysters are always delicious, and we usually get the Gulf Oysters! Last Wednesday they had half off wine which made their wine prices reasonable. 😅 I love the rainbow trout and ruby red. Even the fish and chips are delicious. The fish with the chips is always wonderfully fried.
Amazingly good and be ready for the Fish!!
Catfish and Trout were perfectly cooked.
Soups and YES Oyster Nacho!!
I had a great time for happy hour and dinner with my friends. Chargrilled oysters were good. The bread pudding was amazing especially with ice cream. Drinks were good as well. The service was amazing. Shout out to Lou and Fernando for making it a great experience.
Amazing service, amazing food. I seriously have never had such awesome seafood and drinks! I’m coming back everytime I visit.
They were super sweet and took great care of us, free samples of all their soups and everything
Love this place !! The oyster nachos are soooo bomb !!
My step mom ate three orders today !
And then she gave me orders to go get her bread pudding… They accidentally gave me banana pudding, so I called them and the manager and Avery were so nice that they gave me the bread pudding and added a Keyli
I stopped by for lunch yesterday with my friend and we had the pleasure of getting Lu as our server! She was great, never had to ask for anything and she was perfect at suggestive selling. Throughout our visit the manager Fernando exceeded our expectations with his genuine care for showing TRUE hosp
Where do I even begin, Half shells is one of my now fiance and I's favorite date night location, and this 5 star review is long overdue! We found this place through a google search as decided to give it a try, since we both love seafood. We were blown away by how friendly the staff was and welcoming
This is the BEST place ever! When our waiter heard it was our first time here, he brought out free samples of different soups and appetizers to try. Everything was DELICIOUS! They have an incredible happy hour, and the entire staff is incredible
Avery was the most badass sever ever, she made everything happen we asked for. Definitely coming back and tell friends. A must see if you're in the area.
Delicious, flavorful food! Enjoyed sampling the soups, though I can only have the clam chowder since that’s the one that’s gluten free. Nice little treat since I eat seafood every once in a while, it was jam packed with flavor and friendly service. Art is a cool dude, great bartender to chat with. N
The staff is super friendly. We told them it was our first time here and they were very informative of the menu, sent us a sampler tray of their local favorites, and extremely friendly. They make you feel welcome and like a family member.
I stopped by this place for lunch yesterday and it was packed with customers (which says a lot about a place). We elected to sit outside and got the fish and chips with an extra side of Cole slaw. The fish was amazing! Perfectly battered and flaky. It was very juicy and the batter was perfectly
Came in for lunch on a rainy day. We did the clam chowder, gumbo, crawfish, fish & chips, and fried catfish. The chowder was ok, needed some Tabasco to help it out, but the gumbo was very tasty. The crawfish had way too much clove in the seasoning. Both the catfish and the fish and chips were ok...f
I had the best experience here. The manager Avery was so nice and had me try the welcome wagon with a sample of their gumbo, jalapeño soup, clam chowder, crab bisque, and firecracker shrimp. All was so delicious. My waiter and bartender was Gino. He is AMAZING… He is very knowledgeable and suggested
