• The food and service is fantastic.
• The atmosphere is blah.

“Shells should not be described as an Italian restaurant. They do have a nice pasta menu of specialty pastas, but they also have a daily board menu featuring perfectly prepared seafood dishes as well as other main course items. Their sauces are fantastic and the side dishes served are delectable. The desserts are definitely 'to go' items for us because they are too delicious to turn down even if we did not save room for them at the time. We have been patronizing Shells for years and never eat anywhere else on the island.”

“This is my favorite restaurant around. I come back just to eat here. It is a cute little restaurant with friendly service. There is a variety of pasta, seafood, and more. Everything is really amazing. The salads, tuna tacos, fish sandwich, rigatoni pollo, capellini pomodoro, farfalle alfredo, conchigli gorgonzola, and the fresh and garlic breads are all excellent. I have yet to find something that I didn't love. This comes very highly recommended if you like outstanding food at fair prices.”

• Shells has the potential, with the right management to be a Great cozy and romantic Dining Establishment.
• Bad service & mediocre food Shells @ Port Aransas has both!!!

“We arrived during the holiday dinner rush and were met by a frown and an attitude. I asked for 2 glasses of wine while we waited for our table (20mins) was not too much to ask for. I was told, "It will be a while before I can get to your wine." is what I was told. The wine arrived just after we were seated. They were out of the baked stuffed blue crab appetizer which was #1 on the Appetizer list. We chose option #2, the lobster salad, which border lined on tuna salad on toast. The healthy spinach pasta was tasteless except for the smoked chicken, which was terrible. We pushed that "full" and barely touched bowl of pasta and smoked chicken to the other side of the table, and the waitress never even asked if we were satisfied and just took it away without a peep. I had the Spaghetti w/beef and pork meatballs from the specials board, and it was as "ordinary" as a jar of Prego and noodles. All of the wait staff seemed edgy and inattentive. We thought, maybe it's just us, so we looked around and noted many others that seemed to be unpleased and just ready to go. My wife and I, on our 1-year wedding anniversary, left completely disappointed and will not return. By the way, Pelican Landing, the night before, was 10 times as crowded and managed to wow us.”
