"Wow! Living in the Midwest I don 't get seafood this fresh and Shells doesn 't disappoint! Our server Bailey, is friendly and personable. She showed true interest in us and helped us navigate the menu to pick the best dishes for us. I asked what she would order and she recommended: Fresh Mahi Mahi Felix topped with jumbo lump crabmeat and roasted red peppers in a lobster cream sauce. Served with seasoned rice over vegetable medley. (Pictured) I was not disappointed, I am still so full an hour after eating while writing this. Thank you Bailey, perfect choice! I think this should be called The Bailey Special My wife got the Baby Lobster Pasta, Succulent baby lobster tails tossed with linguine in lobster cream sauce. She was blown away and the sauce could be a soup! Our son ubered us so we could enjoy the bar, we started off with a Mojito (wife) (which the bartender didn 't know how to make but got it pretty close) I got the house margarita with a sugar rim, very good. We then switched gears to an Island Breeze (AMAZING! Light and refreshing like the name suggests and my drink the Rum Punch was true to its name too as it felt like I got punched in the face rum, not a bad thing! Atmosphere is light and approximately themed, everything looked and smelled clean. We don 't live here, but if we return we will be back! If you read this far please go visit, I 'm sure your experience will be as great as ours. Thank you to everyone at Shells who made our evening wonderful."

"This was not our first visit. We did take out. They do seafood well, but we haven't tried everything. Lisa says the clams in the linguini and red clam sauce were huge and delicious. I love their fish, all the dishes are good. Sadly, on this last visit the fried clams were either over done or cooked in oil that needed to be changed. Since the name of the joint is the clam bar, that was disappointing. Lisa got the golden combo and it was all perfect, except for the clams, of course. Oh, except she wondered about the fish portion of the combo it seemed like someone took a regular piece of fish and ripped it in half. Strange. I got the fried haddock with onion rings and it was awesome. The fish is so light and flaky and the batter is crispy and delicious. Another minus on this visit was the delivery of incorrect salad dressing and no lemon included or offered. Not the end of the world of course, since we were at home, but if we were in a hotel that would have been a drag. They were kind enough to provide napkins and plastic forks and knives, and they tartar and cocktail sauce was more than adequate for the amount of food served. We paid $51 for 2 entrees and a kids meal, which is a good value for what we got, and would have been a great value (no offense Walmart) had the fried clams been done right. There is plenty of parking and it's in a fairly busy area, right near sweetheart corners. The bartender was friendly."
