This restaurant is now called Beach House Bar and Grill but nothing has really changed since it was Half Shell. I have been to the Horizon and Horizon Ridge location countless times (AKA chance after chance) and have finally settled on 2 stars. The service is friendly providing you get the same people- I think they have a revolving door of managers and servers. The food is good- but inconsistent. You order the Fiesta salad and it is different each time you go (probably a revolving door of cooks). When this place first opened years ago it was always busy and the food was spectacular. Since then, they have remodeled the upstairs which now caters to private events and bad karaoke nights.
The owner doesn't seem to know if he wants a restaurant, a bar, a kids place (they have an arcade downstairs now) or a club (DJ upstairs on the weekends.)
Something is definitely going on at the senior management level at this place because they have no liquor (not even Absolut or Southern Comfort).
Despite the INCONSISTENCIES of Half Shell/ Beach House- the bartenders and servers are friendly. That's why I continue to go back.
