The Half Shell, LLC - Memphis

Our waitress Tanya was EXCELLENT. Extremely charming, pleasant,attentive& HELPFUL. She was familiar thoroughly with menu items.We will return!!Super GOOD!!Food: 5/5

It was decent, not super impressive but ok if you're looking for an easy sit down meal. The drinks were strong so that's a plus, the food was terribly under seasoned, a little over priced, and lukewarm when we received it. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived so I didn't understand the lukewarm food. Shrimp Egg roll appetizer was good but could have been better if not made soggy from all the sauces smeared all over the plate. Like I said before it was decent. I can say I tried it with the family.Parking: Restaurant on the corner of a shopping center so plenty of parking

The Half Shell Restaurant was ok. The restaurant was easy to locate. The waitress was attentive. The was average, we liked the crab cake and tarter sauce the best. BE AWARE THAT EXTRA SAUCES OR BUTTER is extra cost. The waitress didn't mention it the upcharge of .50 cent. The bread was good. The restroom needed attention, I made sure not to show the trash on the floor, but it did smell good.Although we were passing through, this would not be a repeat restaurant. There is also added gratitude and prices at different times. I feel like the restaurant may be using COVID to mandate people to tip. My concern is that I always tip for good service. I was told the waitstaff gets paid $2.80 an hour, which is pathetic for a company to pay less than minimum wage. I would never eat here again when a company doesn't pay their staff minimal wages and expect for them to be excellent servers.Parking: There is plenty of free parking available. The restaurant is in a strip mall.

I have not done a review in a very long time but the absolute HORRIBLE experience I had Sunday is something I cannot just let go. We only went here because my friend had a $30 off credit because of a previous messed up to-go order. As soon as we came in, we waited for maybe 3 or 4 minutes just for someone to seat us. Our waiter did come over soon and get out drinks and order. We got a platter and it tasted alright but nothing special. I asked for rolls because it said on the menu it was included and we were charged for them because apparently I had asked for a bread basket which i never did. We didn’t get A SINGLE REFILL in the hour that we were there and gratuity was automatically put on the ticket. It makes sense why they put it on there automatically- they know the service sucks and no one would tip them anything. The inside was dusty and the floors were sticky. $6.27 in gratuity was not worth it at all. I’m a server myself so I would normally never say this but I wouldn’t have tipped my server anything if i had a choice. that’s how bad my experience was.

The front desk staff at our holtel tried to warn us, but we didn't listen. We were placed on hold for several minutes when calling to place an ouder. We odered the shrimp egg rolls as we had in times past, but were sorely disappointed. We should have listened.They had very little shrimp and even less flavor.Food: 1/5
