Bringing New Orleans Inspired Original Dishes To The Table With A Side Of Southern Hospitality.

‍

‍While we are known for our delectable oysters served on the half shell, we also offer many other options on our menu. Our signature dishes include Redfish Orleans, Big Easy Surf & Turf and Seafood Stuffed Portabellas, along with traditional staples like Seafood Gumbo, Crab Cakes, and Fried Shrimp.

In late 2008 the concept for Half Shell Oyster House was born in the mind of company president Bob Taylor. The idea was later polished off with his partners, Rob Heffner, Kevin Fish, and Brian Raspberry. The concept was to provide a phenomenal dining experience with a menu that highlighted Southern cuisine with a New Orleans flair.

The atmosphere offers a relaxed yet classic vibe reminiscent of the French Quarter. The interior subtly showcases exposed brick, wrought iron railing, stained glass, and antique doors. The design is complimented by the sound of jazz that weaves through the air. Today, we have fifteen locations across Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. We are actively growing and expanding the Half Shell Oyster House brand, while also creating other restaurant concepts under our parent company, Gulf Coast Restaurant Group.
