Description
A beloved Lakeview seafood institution serving crab, oysters and classic shellfish in a cozy old-school bar setting. A Lakeview institution since 1968, Half Shell is a family-run seafood restaurant with the feel of a warm, old-school bar tucked into a cozy basement. The menu leans heavily into fresh crab, oysters, shrimp, fried seafood and other classic shellfish dishes, with king crab and snow crab among the standouts. It is cash-only, casual and convivial, with outdoor seating, friendly service and an on-site ATM for the essential pre-meal stop.
