The place has great music, great drinks and AMAZING Cajun food. The oysters Rockefeller were soft and incredibly flavored. The alligator bites were the softest, most moist and flavorful I have ever had. The jambalaya should be in the hall of fame! We were recently in New Orleans and couldn’t get food this good!! And they take reservations on open table!!!
This little gem was recommended to me and my wife by the staff at the hotel. Loved the food, drinks and live music!
This restaurant looks like a shack on the outside an inside is an eclectic array of decorations, its lovely to look at all the conversation pieces while waiting for food. We were seated right away, greeted by a wonderful server who made us feel that we were her only guests, but she was swamped. We asked for recommendations and the food we had was off the charts good. We did order the oysters and they were delicious and fresh. We also had the sampler platter which was so so good and flavorful. If you like spicy food, this is your place! We ended our dinner with their bread pudding w/whiskey sauce. What can I say, OMG, I've been back home a week and I still can't stop talking about it. The best I've ever tasted!
Fun establishment in downtown Saint Louis. Parking is limited as the lot only has a few spots but paid street parking is available all around. Food was great - try the Alligator Cheesecake, you won’t regret it! I had the Shrimp voodoo tacos with jambalaya as a side and it was good. We also had the fish tacos with rice and beans which was also enjoyed. Live band was playing on a Wednesday evening
I would recommend call for a reservation. Not sure if we just came in during a busy time but the wait was long so we decided to eat at the bar.Great vibe and atmosphere. Staff was good.We would recommend the seafood. My spouse definitely enjoyed the oysters and salad. My chicken sandwich paired with the Cajun fries were ok.
My husband and I are new to the area having moved down from Chicago last year. We're over in Metro East, but wanted to come into St. Louis for a date night since we love us some good food. We arrived right on time for our reservation on a Saturday night, but then I realized I'd booked it for the wrong day! There was nothing available, and I was positive we'd be late and hungry for our next event. It was busy, with people waiting outside for tables. The hostess was absolutely unflappable though and would probably be at home working in an air-traffic-control room. She was sweet, unfazed by our mistake, and just had us wait a half a minute while she shuttled other people to tables or the digital waiting list, then got us on the list ourselves and sent us to wait at the bar. The patio bar was SO MUCH FUN. The atmosphere is funky and casual for sure but the service is not lax. They are on top of their game to a crazy degree! We never waited for a drink or assistance and the bartenders were in constant motion. While I was sipping my perfectly made Pimm's and my husband enjoyed his draft Radler, an awesome band came on stage and started playing a little Ray Charles. There's another bar next door that had a Violent Femmes cover band doing a loud but mediocre job, and I gotta say, Bob's music was way better and free. I could've stayed and eaten our whole meal at the bar, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. We were seated in a covered area of the restaurant that is newly air-conditioned. It was pleasant with a nice hum of happy people. The restaurant is quirky as others have mentioned, with lots of memorabilia and posters, etc. on the wall, but it's immaculately clean. It's the middle of summer, hot outside, and they're super busy serving raw and cooked seafood, and yet every table was cleared as soon as it needed to be. The whole restaurant smells delicious, not fishy or stale. I didn't see a single fly buzzing around or dust in the corners. These folks take amazing care of the place! Our server was at the table within a minute of us being seated, friendly and fast. We were starving and ordered: Gulf Oysters on the half shell 1 Oyster shooter (I love oyster shooters) Crawfish Mac and Cheese Crawfish Etoufeé Ahi Tuna Fajitas Everything was phenomenal. I'd eat it all again, but definitely the mac and cheese and oyster shooter. It'd be fun to see a boozy oyster shooter! The Gulf oysters were fresh, shucked, and presented perfectly on rock salt with the usual fixin's. Everything was the right temperature, well-seasoned, and garnished with purpose. Not a sprig of useless parsley, limp iceberg lettuce, or a bland cheese sauce to be seen! The presence of several different hot sauces on the table made me happy. Their prices are reasonable, the portions appropriate, and the service consistent and attentive. I swear this is one of the best experiences we've had in a restaurant since before the pandemic, and we are ready to make it a regular date night!!
Mike took great care of us @ the outside bar!! He was terrific! The oysters are fresh, the gumbo is lovely, the wings were very tasty! The eclectic nature of Broadway Oyster Bar only adds to you enjoyment. There is something to see every square inch! We had s great time!
Yes Oyster Bar. Everything we ordered was amazing. It was my first time trying oysters and the Oysters Rockefeller is the way to go. 6 oysters to an order was about $17 but worth it for sure. This time around I didn't get to order from the original menu. There was a featured crawfish festival menu that had tons of items to choose from. I went with fried crawfish tails. So light and buttery (no sides included). My table also ordered the shrimp Po boy and a bread pudding. The bill totaled at like $80 with a decent tip included. I would recommend if you're in the mood for any seafood but don't get too dressed up this place has full on casual vibes. Service was great and the ambience was very unique. Will be back for sure.
Great food, great music, great ambiance. The server will take your order and bring you drinks, but they have food runners which defeats the purpose to me of having a server. I could have just as easily ordered food and my drinks from the bar and had it come out that way. PLUS they don’t split the bill! They bring you one bill and you have to tell them how much you want your card charged.
I stopped here for lunch on a recommendation and I'm glad I did. The place is fun and funky, see pics of atmosphere. I'm sorry I didn't take a pic of any of the food but it was very good, especially the oysters and the homemade gin tabasco sauce. We ordered three dozen oysters and although it seemed the first batch had all plump oysters while the other two batches were mixed, everything was fresh and delicious. The band playing at lunchtime was very good, including a few original songs they played. Service very attentive and you can tell they want to be sure you're happy. Beyond casual, fun and funky! Mixed with delicious!
