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.

Way better than I had hoped for even as the last open Cajun Seafood restaurant open past 10pm. Make sure to ask to sit in Matt Kentrail's section. One of the best service industry employees I have ever seem. That comes from a lifetime of experience. With my mother working her way from bussing tables to General Management. Great personality, charisma, and knowledge of his craft!

Skip on the NY strip, it was basic, and not cooked correctly. Key lime pie wasnt the best either.The filet was very worth it. Oysters on the half shell were good, pretty small though. The house salad for 14 bucks was a little steep, but ate it all. Overall a generic little place, would try it again, but get different dishes.

Casual, laid back dining. There was no wait time. We were seated and given our menus. Waitress was friendly, down to earth and knowledgeable of the menu. Answered all of our questions and offered suggestions. Best sweet tea I've ever had!!! Although we were only 3, we ordered appetizers and 4 entrees. Everything was delicious!!!

Got the half and half oysters and these other oysters with Parmesan cheese and they were delicious! The crab cakes were good (only two), and the crab bisque was eh. Overall everything else very tasty though! Our waitress was super nice!

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!!

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.
