5.0 of 5 stars. Excellent food and a large number of innovative specials on the blackboard. The tuna appetizers are great as is the tomato basil soup. The open face tuna sandwich is a bargain at $13.95 at dinner....

4.0 of 5 stars. Shells is one of my favorite restaurants in Port Aransas, and we try to visit it every time we are on the island. As others have mentioned, it is quite small. There are ten tables indoors, one that...

Not Satisfied / Over-priced

Shells was within walking distance of our hotel. We went for dinner on a Sunday night. We ordered Crab Cakes and Grilled Wahoo. I will say that the seafood entrees were fresh, flavorful and very delicious...no...

Yelp.com Review - by Laurie R.

4.0 of 5 stars. From the outside, this place doesn't really look like much. On the inside, it doesn't look like much, either. And by "much" I mean small... way small. Picture an old service station with the front...

Yelp.com Review - by Randall R.

4.0 of 5 stars. Finding innovative cuisine in Port Aransas is akin to finding The Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan at a Barack Obama rally. So Shells is as much of a surprise as it is a find.Small and unassuming,...

Yelp.com Review - by Mark A.

3.0 of 5 stars. Shells has great food, but the selection isn't great, and it's kind of pricey. It's very casual. But, it's not really a great place for kids. The restaurant is kind of small, but there is some outside...

4.0 of 5 stars. For me a trip to Port Aransas isn't complete without at least one trip to Shells. I love their pasta bowls, which are generous and tasty. If you're tired of mystery fish fried beyond recognition, then...

4.0 of 5 stars. As a lunch spot, Shell's is one of the few on the island where the menu isn't dominated by fried food and/or burgers. They are especially known for their fish sandwich. I consistenly order 2 things:...

Yelp.com Review - by Christine M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I was just down in Port A for a couple of days and it seemed like it had a limited variety of restaurants. Shells is off the beaten path - a couple of reviews that I read said it was a dive. I would...
