About Us.

2008

In late 2008 the concept for Half Shell Oyster House was born in the mind of company president Bob Taylor. The idea was later polished off with his partners, Rob Heffner, Kevin Fish, and Brian Raspberry.

2023

Today, we have fifteen locations across Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. We are actively growing and expanding the Half Shell Oyster House brand, while also creating other restaurant concepts under our parent company, Gulf Coast Restaurant Group.

The Concept

The concept was to provide a phenomenal dining experience with a menu that highlighted Southern cuisine with a New Orleans flair. The atmosphere offers a relaxed yet classic vibe reminiscent of the French Quarter. The interior subtly showcases exposed brick, wrought iron railing, stained glass, and antique doors. The design is complimented by the sound of jazz that weaves through the air.

OUR MISSION

To serve original New Orleans inspired dishes with Southern hospitality in a distinct and vibrant French Quarter atmosphere.
