Half Shell Oyster House - Covington

As for parking, the lot is very clean and easy to navigate for wheelchair users. There's wheelchair accessibility right at the entrance, so you won't have to search for it—it's really convenient!

I stopped by this restaurant while traveling for business and tried a variety of seafood platters from different places. This restaurant was just one of those stops. The catfish was quite tasty; it had a light breading that complemented its flavor nicely. The shrimp, on the other hand, was lightly seasoned and breaded, but I was hoping for a flavor closer to that of the catfish, which left me a bit disappointed. The crab cake was decent, though not the best I've had—it could have used a bit more flavor and better frying. The hush puppies were solid and enjoyable. Overall, I would say this place is pretty good, but not necessarily the standout among seafood restaurants. It's definitely worth a visit, as you'll receive a competent meal accompanied by excellent service.

This is a great seafood restaurant with excellent service and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it! I had the Oysters Bienville, which were delicious. I can't recall what my husband ordered, but he enjoyed it! The atmosphere is a relaxed, fun vibe with a touch of Cajun elegance.

I visited today for a late lunch and tried the oyster sampler, which was enjoyable, even though I'm not a big fan of oysters. I ordered the ribeye steak, accompanied by cheesy grits and sweet potato crème brûlée. The grits were just okay, but the ribeye was outstanding, and the sweet potato dish was excellent. For dessert, I had key lime pie, which was very good as well.

Excellent Gulf Coast seafood! This restaurant is part of a regional chain that started in Gulfport, MS. I've dined at the original location and at two others since then. As a chain, it typically maintains a consistent taste and quality. I particularly enjoy the “Royal Reds” deep water shrimp, which have a deliciously sweet flavor reminiscent of lobster!
