Half Shell’s is a full menu restaurant with reasonably priced oysters on the half shell. What more could a seafood lover desire? The Oysters are especially reasonable on Tuesdays, when they are sold for only twenty five cents each. Full meals are served during evenings, while a great lunch menu is available for that noon break from work.

This new addition for hungry diners in our area is owned and operated by Colin Hutchinson and Javier Valdovinos. You might know Javier, he has owned and operated “Cancun’s” in Chipley for over seven years, with the help of his lovely wife, Emily. They are now expanding their business into Jackson County.

Colin Hutchinson and his beautiful wife Stephanie, have owned and operated “Hutch’s Oyster Bar” in Chipley for over four years. They are both native Floridians. Stephanie is currently employed as a detention deputy at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

These two Chipley restaurateurs have combined their talents to bring a great seafood offering to the people of Jackson County. All of their seafood is fresh, unfrozen, cleaned and prepared in-house. Oysters are always available, by the tray at the bar, pints to take home, or by the bag. Don’t forget the specials on Tuesday nights.

All menu offerings are available dine-in or carry-out. They will even deliver to your business. Half Shell’s is located at 2914 Pennsylvania Avenue. They open Sunday thru Thursday from 11AM until 9PM, and from 11AM until 10PM Friday and Saturday. Call 482-6800 to order.
