Shells of Melbourne - Melbourne (FL)

4 /5 Linda Myers: We really like Shells but lately it takes forever to get our food. We ordered an appetizer that came out promptly but it took much too long for our meals to arrive. Our server was very nice. We asked her about our food & she said it would be out in a few minutes. It took almost 35 minutes from when we ordered to get our meals. Food was good but it shouldnt have taken so long to come out.

5 /5 Amy Pérez: For so long, many friends had shared with me how amazing this place was, and it didn’t disappoint! It looks a little bit old, but the food was delicious. We had the clam soup — absolutely amazing, 10/10. We also tried the mixed fried basket and the fish tacos!

5 /5 Erica Larson: To celebrate a local listing my other half took me here. My amazing clients recommended we visit while we were in town and we are so happy we did. We loved the atmosphere, the service, the menu options, and they have a handful of options for their fresh catch of the day. Our server gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend * their CLAM CHOWDER IS HANDS DOWN 10/10!!!

2 /5 Christinabobsquarepants: Clams smaller than a penny. We came here looking for a nice dinner but were disappointed from the start. The restaurants decor felt old and outdated, and the general atmosphere was lackluster. For dinner, I ordered the clams, which were surprisingly small—literally the size of a penny. For the price, it felt like a complete rip-off. The only decent thing we had was the clam chowder, but that wasnt enough to make up for the overpriced, poor-quality meal. Our waitress was moderately attentive but seemed to be just going through the motions to get a tip. We spent a lot of money for what we got, and overall, it was not a good experience. We wont be returning.

5 /5 Ana Kratochvil: We ate at Shells on 9/14/25 at 5pm and we had GREAT service and food!!! We got appetizers to share for the both of us of the Hush Puppies ($5.99) and the Gator Bites ($13.99). The Gator Bites were alright. They tasted a little chewy, but still good flavor and the sauce is delicious. The Hush Puppies were great and the sauce that comes with them which I think is a Tartar Sauce...OMG IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Both of us got 2lbs of Snow Crab Legs with 2 sides ($65.00 per entrée). There are 4 Clusters of Legs per entrée! We both got Steamed Veggies for 1 side and he got Fries as his second side, while I got a House Salad with Ranch for an extra $1.99. The Snow Crab Legs were Freshly Steamed Boiled, Hot and Juicy! They gave us Crab Leg Crackers and Seafood Forks to help us eat the Legs. I also love how I could get extra Butter and Lemons on the side, which is not needed, but a personal preference. We did get 2 Top Shelf Long Islands ($12.25 per). One was a regular Long Island and the other was a Blue Long Island. We got a Sweet Tea, and Water with Lemon. The Long Islands were definitely a good mix from the bar! The Sweet Tea didnt even need any added sugar like most places do! Thank you to our server Kellyann! She was attentive and informative the whole time we were there! She has great hospitality and had some great laughs to share as well! Kellyann is now my requested server I will ask for! She definitely made our experience THE BEST! I absolutely love Shells! I have been coming to Shells since I was a little girl..Thats 25 years ago to now. This restaurant has the best Seafood in town! Never disappointed with the service or the food! I cant wait to go back and enjoy the Family atmosphere! Thank you to the Shells Team!!!! ❤
