This restaurant gives the appearance of a bar but based on the food I would disagree the food was extremely good we went there just for lunch and had a wonderful lunch thank you so much for the wonderful service in the great food
Food was great. Appetizers came out with the meal though.
we went for lunch, and as usual, the food and service were great. Their menu has enough variety to satisfy most with reasonable prices. We'll be back soon!
Food was good. Service way too slow. Only one waitress/bartender.

The seafood was outstanding and the service was excellent.
Food is always awesome when we visit. We only visit the area once a year but make sure to stop for this wonderful dining experience.
The air conditioning seemed to really be struggling where the tables were (as opposed to the bar).
Very pleasant staff. The scallops are ALWAYS cleaned & cooked perfectly. never gritty.
Super good seafood! Had grouper fingers and scallops in bacon for apps then mussels, shrimp and oysters on the half shell. All great. It's a sports bar so very casual and lots of TV's.
great staff, food was on point. Relaxed atomsphere
Friendly the food was very good
The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, however inside is a decent sports bar with plenty of seating. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and their service was excellent. Food choices were limited but decent, and the food was excellent.
Large portions. Very tasty fish
great food and service at a good price.
This is a bar that has good seafood.
The food was delicious. The service was great. It seemed like all the people there aimed to please several stopped by our table to make sure everything was good.
A local tavern/restaurant. Sports bar.set pri ce menu items with emphasis on Sea food mainly.fairly large assortment of bottled beers.we sat at the bar as did all but one couple with their dog who were on the porch.bartender/waitress did good job handling both jobs.We were on vacation and were 8 hours from home.
WENT BACK THIS YEAR AFTER 2 YEAR LAPSE ( FOOD QUALITY & PORTION SIZE DROPPED & THE CIGARETTE SMOKE BECAME UNBEARABLE )THEY MADE THE BAR NON SMOKING ( OUTSIDE GAZEBO FOR SMOKERS ). FOOD WAS GOOD OVERALL BUT PRICES DRASTICALLY ROSE. NO LONGER WORTH THE DRIVE THERE
Excellent prices location service
Great place for lunch
It wasn't busy, so we were able to be seated immediately. The food was well prepared and delicious.
FOOD TOO SALTY PORTIONS SHRUNK FROM LAST AND PRICES UP
Only one waitress for the bar and diners. she was however very good no complaint there.My shrimp scampi came in a bowl with 5 medium shrimp and lots of pasta in more then a cup of oil. the coleslaw had gone bad,
Food was good. we ate at bar & they were very attentive.
FOOD IS EXCELLENT AT ON THE 1/2 SHELL
Great value
Friendly, great dining experience
Food was good. Service was slow due to many customers and not enough help. The servers were very kind.
Suri, our waitress is awesome. We ask for her every time we go. She is always there with a smile even though she has a lot of tables and is exhausted.
This is a bar atmosphere. We are not drinkers, but food was really good and service was friendly.
Enjoyed lunch! Food was very good - we have always had a good meal.
friendly,good food &great memory
Always friendly service, great food.
We have been there several times now. The food is good, and the staff and other patrons are very friendly. We feel very welcome there.
Don't let the name fool you. We've lived in the area for a year thinking it was a seafood restaurant. They serve seafood, but I would classify this as a bar setting with a few tables, pool table, video games and smoking is permitted. It seems like a locals establishment with better than average "bar food." There are enough televisions and the bar is large. The prices are low considering the higher quality of food and we will likely go back for an early dinner again. Don't go there expecting a fine dining experience, but if you're looking for a fun, less expensive place with surprisingly good food, give it a try.
Great friendly place to go
would like to see them bring back the fried lobster tail.
Friendly staff, good service, great food!
they really know how to cook seafood in a lite batter really good.
Great experience. will defineatly go back. Didn't like that they allow smoking, but realize it is a bar.
neat clean good place for me
cigarette smoke smell filled room. the foor was good except the crab cakes were very dry and there did not seem to be any crab in them.
It's always a positive, friendly, experience at On the Half Shell!
WIFE ORDERED CRAB CAKES. NOT UP TO HER STD. WAITER OFFERED TO REPLACE WITH SOMETHING ELSE. MY MEAL WAS EXCELLANT
Definitely the best fish and chips in the area.
fine place to dine. good food good service
the owner and I are friends...thought I would stop down and eat...very good, and excellent service..
Food was EXCELLENT! Service was great. We are visiting Murrell's Inlet SC on vacation and would highly recommend folks to eat here.
Too many restrictions with certificate and too many out of stocks
Food was good but atmosphere needed updating.
great food and service.
We would go there anyway, but the coupon program makes it more affordable.
Food was below average. This was a smoke filled bar with a few tables added.
Great food and service, we really enjoyed it, went back again in the same week.
Food was excellent!
My husband really likes the pizza at this bar. Also they have great oyster prices.
The food was good, the tuna appetizer was great,the ribs were OK (need more sauce or something, and I will visit the location again.
Amy is amazing!
It was more of a bar atmosphere which I had not expected,but the food was excellent and I would return for that.
