| - This place opened up not far from my house a little over a year ago. I have gone with my family a few times since they opened, and while not my favorite place to eat, they are at least competent.
The inside of this place is actually quite nice, given that it is essentially a "bar and grill" type place. It has a good atmosphere, and never gets too terribly noisy, even during sports games on the TVs. The staff are always friendly, and even signed my parents up for a "frequent diner" program to earn point towards items on subsequent visits.
Although, as the name implies, this is mostly a seafood place, they do have a wide variety of other items as well. Chicken, burgers, pasta dishes, there really is a little bit of everything, though if you're not into seafood you won't have a whole lot of options. The battered fries are to die for, though a lot of the other items leave something to be desired - the Chicken Parmesan I ordered had a fairly soggy outer layer of breading, and the chicken inside was hardly appetizing.
The prices here are about average for a dine-in restaurant. It's not a cheap restaurant, but certainly not ridiculously expensive either.
All in all, Half Shell is a good but not great restaurant. Swing in and check it out if you're in the area, but don't go out of your way to come here.
