Reviewed By tmitchell38305
Recently visited The Half Shell with a family member. We ordered a dozen raw oysters and the crab cake appetizer. The oysters were extremely small and dry. The crab cakes were small, pan fried and had a below average flavor. We ordered bisque and half fried oysters and fried shrimp. The bisque was excellent, shrimp were good, oysters were way over cooked. Drinks were good, along with the service. Very nice atmosphere. I will not return due to the food quality. Very expensive for what we received. For the prices, quality should have been much better. Dear tmitchell38305,We are so sorry to hear about your experience at the Covington location. We didn't live up to the high standards that we are known for. We have contacted the location about your experience and we will be in the restaurant to look at the problem.

We stopped in early afternoon on a Saturday. This is a popular sports themed restaurant chain and usually gets crowded during prime lunch/dinner hours. Immediately seated, staff was friendly. Good choice of items on the menu. Many TV's all over the walls and above the bar, with outdoor seating as well. Very fun atmosphere. We had some burgers and chicken sandwiches. Overall the food was good, but nothing special. The prices were a little high, and service was a bit slow. If you're coming to watch a sporting event, have a drink, and socialize, this seems to be a good choice. But just to have a meal, there are better options in the area.

Grilling burgers since 2013! Voted Best Burger on the Northshore by Nola.com and The Times-Picayune!

Craving a juicy burger and Mugshots hit the spot; including their beer fries! It was so big that I wasn't able to finish my burger and left a heaping of fries on my plate. I almost asked for a knife and fork the burger was so large. The toppings were excellent: chopped fine red onion, pickles, mayo and melted cheese!!! Hit the spot just right. Also had the root beer float which was equally as delightful!Wow! Thanks for such the great review! We hope you come back and see us again soon.

I've had the fried avacodo tacos and the veggie burrito and both were quite good. House made corn tortillas on the taco were delicious as well as the jalepeno apple slaw. Very creative menu. Super casal placeThis place really is like a shack - terrible wavy floors and somewhat kitchy decor and not so professional wait staff - but a group of friends who lived in the caribbean and know how to cook. Their Moscow Mule is made with fresh ground ginger and not ginger beer and is the best I've had on the northshore. They run specials and will text you coupons, etc. Live music on the weekends.

Ate dinner here on New Yearâs Eve. Was outstanding. Our new favorite restaurant. The food was crazy good. Wife and I had the wedge seafood salad and seafood trio for starters, pompano and redfish for entrees, lemon tart for dessert. Nice bottle of wine at extremely reasonable price too. Everything was perfectly prepared, service friendly and efficient. Fun ambiance too. Loud and rowdy, our kind of place. Will return for sure.

This restaurant serves fried and broiled seafood dishes as well as Louisiana dishes including etouffe and jambalaya. The food is good and fairly plentiful but may not live up to expectations based on the long-standing reputation of the original restaurant. (Sorry) It's also at or above the mid-range in cost, especially if you order drinks and desserts. The dining area is a large open space that has televisions mounted in the corners of the room.

One of three Chimes locations.
Reviewed By Elmer G
Fabulous food in a beautiful, clean, airy, refreshing restaurant in a beautiful location. Wait staff, particularly Bee, are fast, efficient and helpful. The food was above our expectations as this is some of the best Southern & Cajun food we have eaten!!Portions are large and prices reasonable. The blackened alligator appetizer was excellent, the fried catfish & shrimp dinner was excellent, but the Duck and Sausage gumbo was the best ever and I can call it "To Die For", yum, yum ! ! ! The White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Pecan Bourbon Sauce was divine. The Chimes is good for everyone, couples, family, friends, business and solo customers.Do yourself a favor and eat here, you will be glad you did.
