Opening its doors in 1995 in downtown Richmond, Virginia's Shockoe Slip, The Hard Shell has created a loyal following and has been repeatedly voted "Best Seafood" in the city by Style Magazine and Richmond Magazine. The Hard Shell strives to offer the highest quality seafood, steaks and more in a warm, inviting and relaxing atmosphere and to provide outstanding customer service to each and every customer. The Hard Shell now has two locations to choose from, the original location in Shockoe Slip and our new location at The Shoppes at Bellgrade.
