Red Shell Shanty

The best Crabby Bites, Double Cheese burger and OMG, the Crabby cheese pizza! Wonderful food, the service was even better, and the Orange crushes were Bar none!!! Recommend this gem of a dining experience to anyone!! Made my 4th of July to dine with these fine folks, and the atmosphere was exquisite!!! If it had a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 20!!!

We loved this quaint little bar/restaurant!! The staff was extremely friendly, the prices were right, and we completely enjoyed the 20 yr. old that was there playing his guitar and singing. Everyone in the entire place did however talk about how his parents needed to stop hoarding around him while he was trying to entertain the crowd. Other than that, everyone had a wonderful time!! Our entire crowd (and there were a LOT of us) will be back!

I visited this restaurant over the weekend. The staff was friendly; however, the behavior of the cook was appalling. A family with multiple small kids was seated near the front entrance of the restaurant. I observed the cook come from behind the counter and congregate with the family, as it was apparent that he knew them. That's not the problem.

I further observed the cook rub the hair/head of one of the kids in a playful manner. There's nothing wrong with this except the fact that he did not wash his hands or put on gloves before proceeding to remove my pizza from the oven and cut it.

Playing in anyone's hair and then immediately handling/preparing food thereafter, without sanitizing hands, is unsanitary and unhygienic. Aside from the unknowns (was the kid's hair clean, did he have lice, etc.) it was an uncomfortable experience.

To make matters worse, I expressed my concerns to my server and asked that the cook not handle my pizza. Well, this didn't work because I watched him remove my pizza from the oven and cut it with dirty hands. They even proceeded to bring the pizza to my table, as if I was going to eat it anyway. This also brings to question if his hands were clean BEFORE he prepared my pizza. Based off of the behavior and lack of sanitary practices witnessed, I predict not.

I will never eat here again and will never recommend this place to anyone. It's too risky.
