Fresh Gulf Seafood- The Half Shell Seafood is Fresh from The Gulf and the BEST you’ll find anywhere!! The Fried Shrimp, Scallops, Oysters and Catfish are lightly hand battered and perfectly fried. If you can’t decide on one, then choose a combo with 2 choices or a Seafood Platter that has it all. Served with 2 sides and choice of hush puppy or roll.  The Seasoned & Seamed Shrimp and Fresh Louisiana Crawfish (Seasonal) are always a favorite. The Owners Favorite is The LA (Lower Alabama) Country Boil- $13.95. This delicious dish is served with Corn, Potato’s, Sausage, Onions and Jumbo Steamed Shrimp.

The Hot Dogs at The Half Shell are the best you’ll find anywhere. The lean, perfectly seasoned dog is prepared in a steamer so that the wiener doesn’t absorb any grease or fat at the same time keeping its flavor and moistness. These great tasting dogs are served on a warm steamed bun and can be ordered “Naked” or topped with your favorite toppings. Some of these toppings are:  our Famous Homemade Chili, Kraut, Relish, Cheese, Jalapenos, etc. We offer several specialty dogs such as a Chicago, New York, Tex Mex or Stew Dog and Wicked Pimento Dog. However we are best known for our House Specialty- The Half Shell Dog. It’s served topped with Cheese, Homemade Slaw and their Famous Chili. And don’t forget to try our amazing Onion Rings on the side!
