They have all my favorite food, shellfish all the way! This will be my go to place when I'm down here. Serving food from crab legs, oysters, clams, mussels, jambalaya, specialty shells clam chowder, name all the seafood I think they have it the way you like it as well, not just all fried. They have an indoor outdoor seating, the weather is beautiful for outdoor these days. Nothing fancy here just a good place to eat.Service was pretty fast and our server Anthony was friendly and helpful with the food choice and Suggestions, and his suggestion was on point.Going back tomorrow for dinner! YUM!Tuesday crab leg special, first pound is $20 each pound there after is $15.Their grilled shrimp skewers is one of the best I ever had! Loved jambalaya I'm only wishing we have a shells seafood like one at home! :D

I have always been a big fan of Shells but I'm afraid that's over. Over priced and small portions. The mahi-mahiWas the worse I have ever had so fishy compared to everywhere else I have had it. Must just be going after theTourist. We will be trying other places now.

A really good seafood spot. We had the fried shrimp and it was sooooo tasty. We had coconut and buffalo both and ordered extra. It's a clean spacious environment with attentive service!

My favorite spot at St. Pete Beach !! Definitely worth visiting. Been here three times total now across the years and I will keep it coming. Food here is amazing. The pasta is sauced up just right with delicious seafood scattered across. The clam chowder is a must and starts your meal just right. The server was so nice and was giving out the realest recommendations. Overall, Shells has a great dining area and you really get the feel of being at the beach but eating well in a restaurant.

So, my friend, visiting the week before Thanksgiving, is the biggest fan of shells! She had visited St. Pete close to five years ago and had tried the restaurant then. This was her absolute must-go to coming down this past month.I started off with a bowl of clam chowder which was to die for and unfortunately I did not get a photo and then I got the shrimp seafood pasta and ate the entire thing.I have been coming down to St. Pete/living here since 2002 and have never tried shells. I really enjoyed it and definitely will be back.Chowder: 9.4Seafood pasta: 9.4Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say6.9 and below - thanks, but no thanks after trying once

Our server was really sweet and enthusiastic. I ordered the oysters and my husband got the trio. Both excellent choices. A dozen of the biggest juiciest oysters for $19.99. I felt like I got my money's worth because they were delicious! I also got the sangria and my husband got the margarita and they were $5 each. If you're looking for seafood and you're in this area, come here, it'll be worth your time!

Good food. Good value. If you're looking for outside waterfront seating or an ocean view this isn't the place for you, but it is a convenient location right on the St. Pete Beach strip.
