Really loved the venue, and service was impeccable. I chose a fish meal and was very pleased. Red fish pecan and bacon encrusted and was very pleased. My party chose to go with the chicken Alfredo and stated that it was average and the other had fried shrimp. I myself think you should dine here for what they are specializing for. Overall, I was well pleased, but due to pricing, I do not see me returning here again it just wasn't memorable enough for money spent. Maybe in a year, I will try again. If you like soup, I was very fond of the crab and corn bisque.

I'm done with this establishment! My 2nd time ordering pickup from here and they still disappoint!
I called in an order at 11:15, they open at 11. I figured our food couldn't possibly be messed up since we got the order in early. It stated, pickup at 11:45. My daughter went in the restaurant at 11:41 and didn't come out until 12:10... ok, it's Father's day no biggie.
My father had fried shrimp and oysters... it was cooked hard. Mom and daughter got the shrimp and chicken fettuccine... hardly no sauce, just meat on noodles. Igot the Grilled seafood platter. My food was Overly cooked to where it looked fried! Fish and shrimp was extremely salty and seriously dry, to the point where you choke when trying to swallow! And then they forgot to include the sides & condiments. I wasted $141 for food my dad couldn't enjoy on Father's day. Never again Half Shell in Tuscaloosa!!!

The Half Shell Oyster House is a great spot for a decent selection of Cajun seafood dishes. The location is amazing, right on the edge of downtown Tuscaloosa. The oyster choices are amazing! The fish and pasta selections are quite tasty, too. Bartenders mix pretty much any drink you'd like and do it very well. The service has been top-notch every time we've visited, very friendly and helpful when asked for recommendations. This place is a solid choice for a special night out.

The food was absolutely delicious! Oyster sampler platter and pecan crusted red fish with a wonderful sauce. Don’t miss out on the sweet potato brûlée! It’s more like a dessert! So, so good! Our waiter was fabulous! Took good care of us! He was training a new waitress, and she was also great! Already knew what she was doing! It’s a beautiful restaurant, quiet with such a great ambiance! We will most definitely be going there again! Soon, I hope!

I really liked it here! I sat at the bar a few times for a light lunch. The crab cakes are amazing and so is the seafood pasta! The servers are really nice but you can tell when it gets busy they are a bit overwhelmed. Would definitely come back.

The service is always great and the food is good, it’s just super super salty in addition to the spices. The spicing is great, but it just needs a little less salt. Highly recommend the Oysters Orleans!

I had a business meeting here today. The very first time that I’ve been at this place. What a phenomenal lunch spot. I had the Orleans shrimp and grits and was some of the best shrimp and grits that I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, and very efficient service. Would highly recommend

This place is awesome. Great service. The seafood is fresh and tasty. I got the red fish and it was perfect. The Bloody Mary is fantastic. It is better than a lot of seafood restaurants on the coast. Top quality!
