The Half Shell — Restaurant in Georgia

My husband and I ate here for lunch. There was no waiting and a waitress came to our table immediately for our drink order. We asked questions about the menu and she was unable to answer them (for instance, her response to what's in the Gumbo was, "I have no idea"). The manager/owner should train their staff to be knowledgeable about the menu or to at least to tell the customer that they will ask the chef and come back with an answer.

My husband started with the Cajun Crab appetizer which ended up featuring fake crab. They should have described it as "krab" or "imitation crab" or "seafood sticks" so customers know that they are not getting authentic crab. Also, the cream cheese base was not blended well - there were large globs of plain cream cheese throughout. Being from Maine, I often wonder if people don't realize when they are being duped when it comes to seafood.

My husband ordered the Catfish and chose a side of pasta salad, french fries and hush puppies. He described the catfish as having been frozen not fresh with a little layer of slime between the fish and batter. The hush puppies were a bit overcooked but the fries and pasta salad were good.

I ordered the Beef Nachos. The beef had a sweet smoked flavor that, in my opinion, did not fuse with typical nacho toppings and what they call salsa (it's a hot relish). The liquid cheese sank to the bottom making most of the tortilla chips really soggy. A real disappointment.

All this along with two sweet teas set us back $40 plus an $8 tip. Save your money and go to the Dairy Queen across the parking lot - you'll get a...

1st and foremost, Christina provided excellent customer service. She was attentive and patient. She can’t add though. We tallied the total twice and she knew it was off and she still didn’t take off the $2.

This is upscale jail food. Those oysters were spoiled too. They didn’t come out on ice which should have been my first sign this was about to be a trashy meal. Makes my throat dry reliving that. Moving on, there was another waitress who smoked 16 cigarettes during my 26 minute visit. She was already outside smoking when we arrived. She came over to help our waitress and refilled my drink. When she brought my refilled drink back, she didn’t wash her hands and she had the crusty cigarette hand over my drink. I asked my waitress for another drink. I choked on a spoiled oyster and they only serve beer.

There was no need to reach out to the manager, this place is awful. I’m sure they know it. RECLAIMING MY TIME, cause I know they ain’t gone give me my $71 back. We left over half of every dish brought out and nobody asked any questions.

Don’t eat here. At all. Never. Ever. Not even on death row and it was your last meal....

Well I’m actually home until January so I thought I’d check out some hometown places! I’ve got mixed reviews on this Restaurant. Service was great, actually no other customers until after I was seated, but very attentive. I never caught her name! I travel the Country and review every place I eat. I had Oysters Rockefeller and was slightly disappointed at the size of the Oysters, but still very tasty. Wasn’t crazy about the Shrimp Cocktail, Shrimp we’re a good size but tasted to watery. Out of White Zin, so tried their House Cab, extremely to dry. Now, Dessert! Please stop trying to pass off Homemade Banana Pudding as Vanilla Pudding, Wafers & Whip Cream! There’s absolutely nothing Homemade about it! A good Homemade Banana Pudding is a rarity in Public Restaurant! The sweet tea was awesome though. Again, my review is mixed, but I’ll certainly try it again. Maybe during...
