  • Shell's Restaurant, Tampa

    I'm sure there's a thread or three around about Shell's, but I don't seem to be able to conjure them up.

    We had our first disappointing meal in 20 years there on my birthday. The fried shrimp was a tad undercooked, and was very ordinary. The trademark loaf of bread is now a $1.99 add-on.

    20 years ago, fried shrimp was $6.99 and came with parsley buttered potatoes and mandarin cole slaw, both in little paper trays (boats). Bread was 99 cents, as was a salad. We used to order one of each, and share it.

    Now fried shrimp is $10.99, and is still served with the same potatoes and cole slaw. Bread, as mentioned, is $1.99.

    You can have fries, but they are not that good.

    Peanuts are no longer served.

    I'd thought about running down there on our way from MIL's house, heading back to Kissimmee.
    Figured, naw. Maybe next time.

    Now I won't bother. Darn, they sure had a good thing!


    Thanks for the warning and Happy Birthday.

      I can't believe it, but we had to drive right by the one on Fowler today because we were on a tight schedule. We wound up having fried shrimp at an Applebee's in Venice. It's not bad.

      &, boy, we thought there are a lot of old folks in Branson!!!

        You should've been at Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda today! We stopped there just to check it out; decided we have to wait another 25 years til we're old enough to stay there. We headed back to Fort Myers Beach.
