This was me and my husbands first time at Broadway Oyster Bar and the food and service was 10/10! The ambiance is very casual and has that "whole in the wall" feel but please don't let that deter you from trying. Service was fast and inviting, food was fresh and hot and the Sangria was on point! We will definitely be back.

Great casual ambiance yet delicious plates! I little bit of Nawlins fare in the 314! Made me want to go back to visit LA. Fresh oysters and tasty Cajun crawfish. The sauces on the entrees were creamy goodness. The cocktails and beers on tap were just as wonderful. I would definitely go back!

Cajun in St.Louis, Broadway Oyster bar has you covered! While in town for the Drake concert, a buddy suggested trying this establishment. As a smaller restaurant, you could tell it's a fan favorite from the wait-times. Due to the lengthy wait, we opted for the bar top. Our service was proper, drinks were stiff, and grub was on point! The chargrilled oyster were meaty, my po-boy was hefty in size .. overall the food and atmosphere were superb! Honestly speaking, I was skeptical about Cajun food in St. Louis however Broadway Oyster put my doubt to rest. If you're in the STL area searching for some good Cajun cooking, Broadway Oyster bar has you covered.

I forgot how much I love this place. It has been a while with all the great established restaurants and new places to try in St. Louis, but this really is a gem. No wonder why it is my friend Emmanuel's favorite restaurant in the city.

The first meal I had in St. Louis and I've been back since. The first time I went, I tried the chargrilled oysters and the shrimp voodoo tacos. The oysters were good and a great appetizer. The tacos were delicious! Perfectly seasoned and the shrimp were fried perfectly. It is spicy but complements the shrimp. The second time I went, I ordered the clam chowder and the shrimp and grits. Both were absolutely delicious! The chowder came with a side of cornbread and the shrimp and grits was so creamy -- the grits are fried into little patties. The shrimp was cooked perfectly as well. Good vibes, good drinks, and good food!

I was initially disappointed to learn that Broadway Oyster Bar no longer serves crab legs year-round. However, my experience was redeemed by a fantastic server who suggested several seafood options. Ultimately, I opted for the shrimp tacos paired with Parmesan garlic fries, which were incredibly delicious. The atmosphere at Broadway Oyster Bar is vibrant and fun, with live music often playing, making it a must-visit spot. Sitting on the patio is highly recommended, and their diverse selection of cocktails adds to the enjoyment of the experience.

This is a perfectly unpretentious STL style restaurant that I have wanted to try. It has a "dive bar" vibe, live music. There is no official kids' menu but if you ask the server, they will tell you the options. Kids went with buttered pasta and grilled cheese. There is bar seating, a large table for group of 5+ and other smaller tables. Must check out the unique bathrooms!!! Now the important bit: FOOD! Everything was so good. Jambalaya and gumbo had great flavors and spicy. Crab cakes looked good although hubby said they were a little fishy. Fried alligator with sauce -- BOMB!!! I just recently had alligator for the first time ever but these were delicious. Chargrilled oyster soooo gooooood! And lastly, shrimp and grits. I have never had it so nothing to compare to. But the grits were in a deep fried triangle in the middle with lots of Parmesan on top smothered in cheesy sauce. Wow!!! So good! Very rich though and I had to take leftovers home. Overall, great experience and would recommend it to friends for sure.

After a long day downtown visiting the Gateway Arch, my friends and I stopped by Broadway Oyster Bar for dinner. Since there was a Cardinals home game that evening, the place seemed really empty and we were seated right away outside on the patio. Between my party of four, we ordered the alligator cheesecake to share, along with two oyster medleys -- two each of the baked Bienville, Rockefeller and Cardinale oysters, and two sampler platters -- one cup each of our Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice and Etouffee. The oysters dish was tasty, but make no mistake, you're not really eating oysters: the oysters are completely overwhelmed by the sauces smothered on top of them. If you enjoy cheese, you'll definitely enjoy the baked oysters. Be very careful biting into the cheese though. In all three oysters that I ate, there were small shell fragments I had to carefully spit out. Overall, my favorite items were the oysters and the alligator cheesecake. The alligator cheesecake is definitely more like a meaty quiche than a traditional cheesecake. I honestly think it was named such mostly to pique the interest of tourists and get them to order the dish. Needless to say this tactic worked! For the sampler platter, my favorite item was the etouffee. My least favorite item was probably the morsels of chicken scattered throughout each of the items. The chicken is definitely top three for driest chicken I've ever had. I wish there were more types of hot sauces available because the bottles of Franks and Crystal on the table were not hot at all. I point this out because there's a warning on the menu of how spicy the food can be and there was no heat in anything we ordered. Decent spot for dinner, though a bit on the expensive side.

The food at the Oyster bar is always amazing and the drinks are perfect. Parking can get a little tricky if it's a baseball game going on that particular day. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is looking for some good oysters.

If you want to be transported to NOLA from the Midwest then this is the place to be. From the outside to the inside, it screams New Orleans. We had a reservation but did not need one since it was not packed at all. We came on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately. We ordered a few apps to share just to get an idea of the menu. The charbroiled oysters were absolutely perfect. They come with a slice of lemon and a slice of bread. I could probably eat about five slices of that bread to be honest. It's super soft but has the slightest crunch to it which pairs really well with the oysters. The fried gator was alright. A bit salty and slightly overcooked. It did have a nice little spicy kick to it with a nice breading. But I will not be ordering that again. The garlic fries were also good. Fresh garlic and Parmesan was used. You get a huge amount of fries, definitely enough to share. All and all, I'll be back for the charbroiled oysters.
