The Half Shell started out as a very small place with a few tables and a bar. A fun little "joint" where you could get oysters, shrimp, hamburgers, and really cold beer. It had the atmosphere of an old Panama City Beach "dive" with walls covered in dollar bills signed by customers. The cooking line was right behind the bar, so your bartender was also the cook. Customers from that time still talk about the "old place."
On November, 1st 1996 we moved to our current location. We also moved over a thousand dollar bills that had been stapled to the walls. That tradition continued for several years and the money was later donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
On November, 1st 2007, we opened another room we call “The Other Half,” that gave us a little more space for live entertainment.
Our menu has expanded over the years, so please check out the menu page before leaving our site.
Thanks so much to all of our loyal customers!

We stopped by after leaving a track meet in Enterprise. Small sports bar. Lots of tv's to catch any big sporting event going on. Staff was super friendly...
The Rockefeller oysters are fantastic and the crab claws too, when they are plump. The bartenders are super friendly and have great attitudes with warm...
