Half Shell Oyster House - Covington

I have never in my life left a review but this was an amazing experience and the food was absolutely fabulous!! We couldn’t help but rant and rave about how delicious the food was and the wait staff was excellent! Thank you for a exceptional dining experience!Food: 5/5

The food was predictable. Following a borderline annoyed hostess we had Breigh C. as our server and she was excellent. She was literally doing the work of two people as they had no bartender that night. But foodwise mediocrity was the deal unfortunately. Smoked tuna dip was bland. Crab cakes were also pretty tired. The Redfish was the real disaster. This chef apparently dumps Parmesan cheese on everything. Hint: Parmesan cheese is not a big part of creole/cajun cuisine and does not go on redfish-ugh. We asked another server about this and they said it's the chef. Get another chef.

I took my dad, George, here for fathers day. Everything I ordered here was delicious. We got a dozen raw oysters and a dozen charbroiled oysters and a cup of the seafood gumbo and everything was phenomenal! Ali was a fantastic waitress with a lot of personality and charm, she was very kind and kept up with us and she made sure we had a good time. The restaurant is themed like classic new orleans with a great new orleans mural on the wall and creole jazz music playing. Wonderful place with wonderful food, I would definitely come back. Don't listen to the outta towner folk who don't know what good food is! Good food is spicy cajun food all the way!!

Consistently good.One of few places I can eat a few dishes due to wheat and dairy allergies.Last visit I had•royal red shrimp appetizer•filet, broccoli and side salad with house dressing•orleans oystersLiked:+Very nicely cooked steak+Attentive service during stay, friendly but brief. Accurate to requests+Service high fived the chef for me+Drinks were filled throughout stay+Bar drink, blueberry margarita, was well made and neatly presentedDidn't like:-I'm not a fan of industrial look, but all their restaurants have it. It makes the restaurant feel very cold. Large booths and nice bar make up for it.

This place is excellent for all your seafood and quick bitesFood: 4/5
