Half Shell Oyster House

Nice little place. Service was good and helpful. Not many GF options. I had oysters on the half shell and boiled royal red shrimp. They both were just ok. Not as tasty as I was hoping

There are not a lot of choices for gluten free. I got the Royal Reds shrimp and I swear they were the best shrimp I've EVER had. I was thrilled.

Perhaps our best meal while we were in the Biloxi area! Everything was amazing but the Royal Reds were scrumptious. I did get the cheese grits (not specifically gf) but didn’t have issues so if you’re sensitive but not celiac you might be able to get away with them. They were the best grits we had the entire week.

Super friendly staff too!

Tuna salad was very good. It was a treat to have tuna as it’s usually soaked in soy sauce. They also exchanged some toppings on the salad for me as I also don’t do dairy.

Great food. Try the Ruby Red’s!! There aren’t a lot of choices for gluten free other than the normal grilled seafood. They are knowledgeable about what you can and can’t have if you’re celiac. The service was great. The chargrilled oysters were delicious. And I found a Pearl!

AMAZING! Food and staff!! Donovan was our server and was knowledgeable of gluten! Had the charbroiled oysters for starters and royal reds, broccoli, and salad! We will definitely be back!❤

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent. Everyone, gf and not, had a great experience. Would definitely go back. GF menu is not as extensive as regular menu but still had plenty of options.

Fantastic! Great, fresh seafood! Well trained, knowledgeable servers. Authentic atmosphere. Great place to eat near the coast!

I ordered the filet, broccoli, and a salad. It was delicious! The staff was very knowledgeable about allergies and made mine separate. I highly recommend!

They were very accommodating to my son's Celiac disease! Great food!

They had a small gluten free menu compared to other offerings, but the items looked delicious. The waitress was knowledgeable about gluten allergies and asked the chef about anything she was unsure about. I ended up having the Lobster Scramble and it was FANTASTIC!!! Happy to report I didn't get sick at all.

Awesome wonderful meal!!!!! Staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Delicious and this Celiac throughly enjoyed!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the Half Shell before GF still love it!!!! Our favs were not GF but they have a great section. Our server MelB was fantastic!!!! One of our favs!

SO good!! kind of the usual for a seafood place (grilled seafood, chicken and steak are obviously safe), but our server (Katie) was awesome, the food was DELICIOUS and the atmosphere was great. they were even able to make us our own french fries that were safe and not glutenated :D

They had a handy gf menu. I had the grilled shrimp appetizer with a fantastc aoli sauce on a bed of greens. The atmosphere was wonderful. The diet codes were large and ice cold. The server did not blink an eye when I asked about the gf menu. I highly recommend the Biloxi Half Shell.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice gluten free menu

The restaurant has a separate and limited gluten-free menu. The food was good, however. I am not sure about the possibility of cross-contamination.

it was nice they said the chef can make pretty much anything gluten free on the menu. However it was so overpriced and my shrimp was cooked to death/ no flavor. I guess I should just be happy I didn’t get sick but I’d rather have spent the money on something that would have taste good and filled me up for that price.

Much better than expected! The royal red shrimp are amazing and the halibut (special) was perfect. Plenty of naturally gf options.

My family likes this restaurant so I’ve been several times and they always prepare fish and vegetables in a separate pan using only olive oil and seasoning! Or they’ll steam the vegetables in water and seasoning. I’m sensitive to gluten, seed oils, sugar etc and have never had a problem here! The food and service is fantastic!

I’m not sure why they are keeping croutons on one of their salads on the gluten free menu. I’ve mentioned this to them several times over the last year. Their tuna dip is to die for, but bring your own gluten free crackers!
