Love this place! Awesome food and good wine. We always enjoy Half Shell!

Looking for homemade food? Craving a fantastic burger in a charming, no-frills family bar? This is the spot for you! Give it a try – you won't be disappointed!

I soon discovered just how affordable the meals were when I sat down at the bar and was greeted with friendly service. I was recommended the Friday Special dinner for just $10.95, which consisted of southern-style country fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn, and gravy. The dish exceeded my expectations for good home cooking—the steak was fork-tender, the gravy was flavorful, the corn was sweet, and the mashed potatoes were silky smooth. Just the week before, I had ordered a similar meal at a high-end Southern restaurant in Ft. Myers that lacked all the delightful qualities of this comforting, unpretentious meal, and it cost $9 more! Although I'm leaving town tomorrow, I wish I could stay longer to explore more of the menu. The seafood platter definitely caught my eye before I opted for the Friday Special—yum! I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic restaurant! The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. It’s also very clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. The food was outstanding—definitely the best wings in town!

A great local pub where everyone knows each other and everyone talks to each other. Everyone who came or went stopped to talk to us. We were looking for a dog friendly place to have cocktails and beer. They don 't serve liquor, but wine-based alcohol. They have food as well. We sat outside in the outdoor patio. We weren 't allowed inside with the dog we were with. Lori was our server and she kicked us out. LOL She was very friendly and attentive. She told us the history of the place, which goes back almost 50 years! The current owner, Pam, owns the place for 27 years and worked there 10 years prior to that. She came up and talked to us for a while. Sierra was the next shift server and was very friendly. It 's one of those places where everyone knows your name . We didn 't eat, but the taco Tuesday specials were awesome. Lots of the menu is made in-house.
