We love the seafood pasta and the sweet potato brûlée. Very good food, atmosphere and service. For me, "out of sight, out of mind" applies here. They are a little further past the other restaurants on Hwy 98 W, so I often forget about them. But when we remember them when making our dinner plans, we always leave with a happy face and a happy belly. And they certainly draw a crowd. read more

My friend and I were first in the restaurant.. Slowest service I have ever had. Food average. Asked for bread and got two small pieces.... Very stingy. Dessert cheesecake was great. Everytime I go it's different. read more

My review is unfortunately not based on the food, but based on the service. I opted to order to go through the toast tab app for a friend who is home sick. I placed the order at 11:30 but the only option for pick up under ASAP showed it would be ready in 45 minutes. I called the restaurant and got AI who agreed that 45 minutes was a long way for a bowl of gumbo and a side salad and said they would connect me to a staff member but instead disconnected me. When I arrived at the restaurant at a quarter of noon, the young lady told me there was no to go order for me so I showed her my to go order on my phone and she said oh well it won't be ready until 1215 to which I replied there is no one in this restaurant and it is a bowl of gumbo and a side salad. While we were talking, the order printed out at 10 minutes till noon. I received the order at noon. 30 minutes is unacceptable to receive it to go order when there is no one in the restaurant. Sidenote, the restaurant feels a lot like New Orleans, right down to the smell of a lot of the hole in the wall restaurants in New Orleans so if you want that kind of vibe by all means visit this location Also, I spent $24 on gumbo and a salad, yes, I did add 20% gratuity, and received not one single pack of crackers in the bag. The ordering app asked you if you want extra crackers, but insaid no, I will take what they normally put in the bag. I guess what they normally put in the bag isn't none read more

Stopped in after a short flight for lunch. The food, service and drinks were good. I sat at the bar, the recommendations were on point .

Craving some creole food. This was recommended by some locals. This place is a small chain restaurant. Their food was super delicious full of flavor. I could not get enough of it. I ordered, fried green tomato, gumbo, half a dozen broiled bay oyster, and the redfish. It was so satisfying and I almost wanted to lick the plate clean. That's how good it was read more

I love oysters and went to Half Shell hoping to have a great meal and experience but I veas very disappointed. First the wait was longer than the 15-20 minutes they said it would be. Then we had my 84 year old MIL with us and they sat us at a tall table. We requested a shorter table so that she could be able to get in the chair and they refused even though there were plenty of tables all around us. They said they would have to put us back on wait list so we had to help my MIL up to her chair. Then the server left all the plates at our table. Didn't remove some of the dish on our table. Over all terrible service and food is over priced. The oysters were the only good thing. Everything else was dissent but over priced. The atmosphere was ok. I would not recommend this place. There are plenty of other options nearby to try with quality service and better prices. read more

Half Shell Oyster House - See that we stacked the dirty plates off to the right so that we had room to eat. Also see we are at a higher table. - Seafood Near Me - Flowood, Mississippi

I never leave bad reviews and try to be understanding, but this was the worst restaurant experience I've had in years. Service was absolutely abysmal - server was MIA, everything came out slow, Manager was clueless on how to run the floor. We didn't even get waters for crying out loud. It was an hour after we sat down that the kids' food was coming out as I demanded the check and they headed next door. No tip and we will not be back - likely not an issue since this place will be closed if they don't clean house and right the ship ASAP. read more

Not sure this is the place for me! Actually, just kidding, I'm sure that it isn't. I'll just leave this here in case any versions of future Adam decide to get daring and eat here again. I have been to the one in Gulfport and found it lackluster. I thought maybe it was a one off fluke, as everyone pumped it up so much, I was unimpressed completely. Tried this one in Flowood, and I was even less impressed. I had some kind of sampler with chargrilled oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, and some other fried foods. The oysters were full of shell bits and one was so big I didn't even try to eat it. Factory fries, factory Hushpuppies, along with some foreign fried ball that I thought was a Hushpuppy. Eww. What was that?!?!? Just no! Not sure what it is about Madison County and bad restaurants. I feel sorry for the residents here. Poor things, bless their little hearts. There are only three places I have eaten in KidRockVille that are worth even eating. Elvie's, Walker's Drive In, and Pulito Osteria. That's it.... I'll take all other suggestions please! I frequent the city a good bit and like to eat good food. My list of no's just keeps growing!! My server was really nice and tried to warn me on my food choices. I should have listened. She brought the deuces for them! '25 - 48/111 read more

Beinville oysters like ice cold beer Never broke my heart. Key lime pie might have.

The Mario oysters are always the best! Service was great and did not have to wait long at all with our party of 7.

We were greeted immediately when we arrived, and seated promptly. The waitress greeted us and made sure we had everything we wanted. The food is excellent in preparation, presentation and taste. The atmosphere is family friendly and the decor is reminiscent of New Orleans. I would highly recommend for lunch, dinner with your family, or a date night. read more

At my old stomping grounds! Reviewing as I go! The host was very polite & there was no wait although the parking lot was full. Austin is my waiter today. He was super speedy with my beverageand so far has been very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the orleans oysters. They were a bit over cooked today but still delicious. A Caesar side salad and the sweet potato side with a pot pie topper. It was wonderful. Will be back read more

This was by far the worst meal I have ever had ! First of all, the 2 hour wait- then the food was overcooked. And just horrible. I will say this- our waitress was absolutely phenomenal! She was amazing!!! The food just sucked! read more

I didn't have high expectations, but thought it would be at least as good as Copeland's since it's a local franchise. The best thing I had was the salad which was very fresh. The fish was a little "off", meaning it tasted kind of old. The stuffing on top was overly salty as well. My husband let me have one of his shrimp (which looked gorgeous), but tasted like it was straight out of a bag. read more

Half Shell Oyster House - Seafood Near Me - Flowood, Mississippi

My boyfriend and I go here all the time. Whether we sit at the bar or at a table, the service is always great. When we go, we always have to get a half dozen Oysters Rockefeller. We normally get a glass or a whole bottle of Riesling and we share the Ribeye with fries and add a side of the cheese grits, they are delicious and the steak is always amazing. If we're in the mood for more seafood than just the oysters, we'll get the Shrimp & Grits instead and it is phenomenal as well. One of the best staff members they have is Nikki & she is just wonderful, very attentive & extremely good at what she does. I would definitely recommend having brunch, lunch, or dinner here, as every meal we've had here is 10/10. read more

Food was tasty and made fresh to order. The ambiance was really nice! The employees were friendly and answered all my questions.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Order a dozen oysters for the appetizer, Received slimy undercooked charbroiled oysters an hour after we had finished our entrees & drinks. The food was subpar. Definitely will not be eating here again!! read more

Delicious fresh oysters, service was good a the atmosphere is typical sports bar decor.

The food was very delicious a 5-star for sure. The service was very good and they were nice and were very patient with me and my family. read more

The atmosphere here is nice. Open kitchen and bar with upscale fish house vibes. Our server was nice but the service was a bit slow. I ordered the seafood sampler with fried fish, fried oysters and seafood filled porta bella mushroom. The food was good but not great. The fish was over breaded and the oysters tasted of old oil. The mushrooms were a bit disappointing as well. I did have red beans and rice as a side and they were good. They were the most enjoyable thing. read more

This is my second time dining here and I was not disappointed. I tried the seafood pot pie and it was delicious. Although the crust was tasty it was as done as I would have like but the filling was so delicious I could've eaten it with just a biscuit. read more

Food and service were good. The portions were a decent size and the prices were affordable

Poor quality!!! I went in and sat at the bar to grab a quick bite while I was out shopping. The server was friendly and attentive, but busy (you could tell she was swamped). I ordered 1/2 dozen raw oysters and a shrimp po' boy and a to go order to take home to hubby. It took a little bit to get the oysters out and although they tasted fresh, you could tell that they had been sitting in the chiller long enough to start drying on top. They still tasted good, but didn't have much liquid. The sandwich came out and looked pretty good, lots of shrimp and a side of fries. There were only about a dozen fries, guess they wanted the sandwich to be the star instead of a pile of fries on the plate, although there were pretty tasty. The shrimp was fried hard and they were dry. Way way over cooked or they had been cooked earlier and they just have them a second frying to heat them up, either way it was bad. My to go order came out with my food, that was a good thing, I was starving so I thought I would just eat some of it. I'm glad I did eat party of it, if I would have taken it home to my husband he would have been more disappointed than me. It was the stuffed portobello mushrooms with a side of broccoli. The stuffing was smashed flat and fried hard, there wasn't any flavor left to the shrimp or crab in the stuffing. The broccoli was overcooked and mushy. I went ahead and paid for the mess. The bartender asked if I wanted to talk to the manager, in didn't want to cause a scene, but probably should have. The iced tea was the best part of the meal. I will never go back. What a waste of time and money. read more

Sat in restaurant for 2 hours and before they closed finally brought food. Service is minimal and I don't appreciate eating at a restaurant where it seems that it's a problem for me to be there. This restaurant sees these numbers daily and it never gets better. whatever you do DO NOT ORDER WATER!! read more

Had a wonderful server named Hannah. So friendly and accommodating. The blackened redfish was delicious; so tender and perfectly seasoned.

The food is always great here. I ordered the oyster sampler and seafood gumbo. My wife ordered the Redfish Orleans and daughter ordered the fired catfish with fried okra. It all was amazing except for our order of crab cakes and fired green tomatoes as our appetizer. The fried green tomatoes were fried too long. The waitress was very sweet but was extremely busy. We had to wait 10-15 minutes to receive order check. The environment was wonderful and very inviting. We left very satisfied. read more

Service was so terrible I did not even order. It was highly suggested I order from bar. Waited about 10 minutes for someone to notice I was seated at bar. At this point few at bar. A family came and sat down beside me. More wait She actually took drink order of family before taking mine. After sitting for 40 minutes came to take my order. I declined and left. Poor service. Better training and supervision is needed. read more

Great experience. Great food. Great drinks. We first ordered the sampler oysters. It was so delicious that we ordered two more dozens of our favorites which were the Rockerfeller and the Orleans. My cocktail was absolutely delicious. I don't remember the name but I believe it was Blueberry Pomegranate Sangria. Yummy! I didn't take a picture of the Royal Redfish and the gumbo. I enjoyed the gumbo but it was too fishy for my husband. read more

We enjoyed everything and the service was great..The food was amazing.. We definitely will be back to eat here again

what a great place. We picked it because of the ratings, and we were not disappointed. My friend had a dozen oysters the entire time he was eating them he was saying how excellent and properly spiced the oysters were, just the right amount of garlic! I had the seafood sampler, and all I can say is wow. also excellent but you know what even made the place better, was our server, Felicity. she was wonderful. She was very attentive, and our evening was made perfect by her. I don't come to Jackson often the next time I'll be here I'll be there. read more

Our server was a delight and did her job excellently. Having said this, however, our overall experience was sub par. We waited approximately ten minutes for two draft beers. When our entrees arrived, my wife's side of asparagus did not. Our server explained it was not quite ready, but did not want her fish to get cold. The two fish dishes we ordered were over salted and over spiced. We love Spice, but this was in excess. When our server came to the table, the wife politely expressed her disappointment. The server apologized and offered to bring something else. We declined and were disappointed when she didn't offer to discount the meal for the majority of the dish not eaten. I don't believe we'll be going back. read more

Service was great. Madison was friendly, professional and there when we needed her. Appetizer arrived only three minutes before the meal. Did not have time to finish before main course arrived. Should order meal after appetizer arrives. Seafood platter was really good and lots of food. Redfish Orleans was flavorful however, the filet was thin and like shoe leather except in the very center. Very disappointing. Overall good. Had the fish been a true meaty filet, would have been a 4.5. read more
