he Half Shell Oyster House opened in the summer of 2009 in Downtown Gulfport and recently opened a second location in Downtown Biloxi. The charbroiled oysters are legendary and the atmosphere will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Located in the historic Kremer building in downtown Gulfport, the “Half Shell” or “Oyster House,” as locals have abbreviated it, serves the Southern delicacy freshly shucked on the half shell, charbroiled over an open flame, BBQ, Rockefeller and Bienville. And now you can experience the same great atmosphere and food in the Biloxi restaurant. We will soon be expanding to Florida, opening our first restaurant in Sarasoto soon
