The Half Shell started out as a very small place with a few tables and a bar. A fun little "joint" where you could get oysters, shrimp, hamburgers, and really cold beer. It had the atmosphere of an old Panama City Beach "dive" with walls covered in dollar bills signed by customers. The cooking line was right behind the bar, so your bartender was also the cook. Customers from that time still talk about the "old place. " On November, 1st 1996 we moved to our current location. We also moved over a thousand dollar bills that had been stapled to the walls. That tradition continued for several years and the money was later donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
