Came to St Louis on business and had to mix in a little pleasure. Never would have thought our first night's meal would have been some Cajun Creole food in St Louis style BBQ Country We were so pleased with our decision as their food rivaled anything in New Orleans. As an avid oyster lover, never would have guessed we would have the option for charred grilled oysters in Missouri. We demolished those in minutes and quickly moved on to our entree I ordered the jambalaya and the size the spices we're so flavorful. The shrimp was on point and the chicken almost tasted like seafood plus the andouille sausage was spicy without being too hot. They nailed the texture and firmness of the rice and highly recommend My wife went with the sampler platter and it was hard to tell between the etouffee, red beans and rice, gumbo, or jambalaya which was the best. I know tough decision to choose from but that was a slam dunk that we highly recommend! Walking throughout the establishment you could tell it totally had that Voodoo deep New Orleans vibe going on that makes you feel like it belongs in the French Quarters If you're ever in the Lou and in the mood for some good Creole Cajun food, this is the spot! read more

Everything. It's a local institution. Looks like a dive bar but is a must go to spot. The staff is friendly and ready to dispense their thoughts on the menu. There are multiple options as far as seating. Each one is different from the next. The oysters are a must, take your pick how you want to try them but I would recommend the Oysters NOLA and the Voodoo Po'boy. The Sazerac is on the sweet side but don't let that dissuade you. Worth it. 100%. read more

We have always loved Broadway Oyster Bar and so today we felt like we owed ourselves a visit! We had our pup with us and so having the option to sit in the covered/enclosed and heated patio with her, made it perfect! The food is always perfection and the vibe can't be matched. Service was fine. Our waiter did a good job, just sort of lacked on the personality front. That is always super important to me and that's my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I really tried to get her to engage but she seemed uninterested. Aside from that, everything was great! read more

Had Broadway Oyster Bar for the first time today! The alligator bites were a fun appetizer, and my daughters enjoyed the shrimp & wild mushroom pasta, charbroiled oysters, and crab cakes. I had the catfish, but it was fried a little too hard for my liking. The crab cakes were definitely the star of the meal... but I almost forgot to mention the bread pudding! Now that was worth every bite. I'll definitely be back and honestly, it might be just for the bread pudding! Our waitress was very attentive and music was diverse. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the New Orleans theme at this restaurant. There was a lot of cajun vibes as soon as you walk through the door. The walls are lined with artwork with nods to New Orleans. There is a bar first thing and they have Louisiana beers on draft. The menu is full of New Orleans food options. Crawfish, Oysters, Gumbo, and much more. I decided to try a Grinder which is a hallowed out bread stuffed with your filling of choice. Mine was sausage and shrimp. It was decent tasting but super messy. I also tried the Oysters and Crawfish Pasta which is a nod to the Crawfish Monica. I loved the effort, but the food is definitely better in New Orleans. -Service: Great- we were a large group and they did a fantastic table serving the entire table. -Reservations: Yes! They prefer not seat you until most of your party has arrived. -Outdoor Seating: There's a cute patio. -Parking: Street parking- it was challenging while we were there due to the Cardinals game nearby. read more

One night, I stopped by BOB for dinner and decided to sit on the patio as it was a perfect evening for it. Their Shrimp Voodoo Po'Boy on Gambino's bread, straight from New Orleans, is my absolute favorite. The ambience is the closest to New Orleans you can get here in STL! And don't forget to try their Cajun fries with a side of ranch! read more

Went in for their happy hour that was advertised on Facebook. Went early afternoon on a Tuesday. When got there the main door was locked so had to enter through the patio entrance. There were no signs stating to enter that way. Service was slow as there were only 2 servers. Took a while before anyone was even around. I had to ask about hh specials. They were not offered until I requested. Ordered calamari which was a large portion for $9.99. Fish tacos half entree for$ 12.99. The pieces of fish in the tacos were large but that price for 2 tacos as a special i thought was a little pricy. Also ordered the hh oysters. $2 each The patio is great spot to hang out. Food was good. Service was slow. read more

Popular, tasty, and will definitely return! My friend and I came here one evening for dinner. Parking is available in the lot across the street or on the street. The parking lot was basically empty, since it was late in the evening on a weekday. It's a casual place with Cajun/Creole food. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Our server was so friendly and helpful, she was wonderful! For a beverage, I ordered the Horny Gator. It was delicious, it reminded me of being on vacation. It tasted similar to a piña colada. For an entrée, I ordered the Shrimp Voodoo Tacos. They were juicy, spicy, and filling. The side of jambalaya on the side was also a delight; it had delicious sausage & shrimp in it, a great amount of spice, and paired wonderfully with the tacos. We also shared the Cajun fries. They were covered in Cajun seasoning and were thin-sliced, yet had an adequate amount of potato per bite. Excited to go back and try more! read more

I went to Broadway Oyster Bar in St. Louis on a Saturday night and had a really solid experience. The bartender was super friendly, and when I asked for recommendations, he pointed me toward the alligator sausage and the shrimp cheesecake which was worth trying. I also had some oysters, which were tasty and surprisingly filling. I started out at the inside bar, which was cool because they have a TV, so I could watch the football game while eating and hanging out. After the game, I moved outside to the patio bar. There were no TVs out there, but they had live music, and the vibe was great. The band set the mood. Overall, the good food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. read more

I have been to Broadway Oyster Bar a couple times, for girl's night with a good friend and for an after event with co-workers. I enjoy sitting outside in one of the high-top bar tables and listening to the live music. The inside eating area is OK. It's not a preference but if the weather isn't cooperating outside....welllll inside it is. The staff is friendly and hardworking. Parking is a pain, of course it's downtown STL. The catfish nuggets and crab cakes on top of a fried green tomato and served with cole slaw are delicious. The drinks are very hit-n-miss depending on who is making the drinks. The charbroiled oysters are another good dish to order. The wings are just OK, have to ask for extra, extra crispy. The Cajun shrimp pasta is ok, lacking the Cajun seasoning and flavors of the dish. It's a chill, no frills spot to hangout and vibe. read more

I was in the city for an awards banquet and arrived early. I figured Broadway Oyster Bar would be a great place to kill time. I found Prince parking, thanks to my parking angel who hangs on my review mirror. When I arrived inside, I was able to get a seat at the end of the bar. The bartender was hustling waiting on others and told me she'd be with me in a hot minute. It was close to shift change and the next bartender had arrived, so she asked him to get my drink. Since I was in a New Orleans/Cajun themed restaurant, I ordered a Sazerac cocktail. I watched him make it and he was extremely detailed. After my first sip, I knew it was masterfully prepared. I drink this cocktail often and I can tell you, this one was probably the best I've had in STL. I'll be back to for some oysters very soon, I didn't want to ruin my appetite for the awards banquet. read more

Broadway Oyster Bar is such a cool, unique spot. The atmosphere is awesome as is the food. It is extremely popular for good reason. We recently visited when in town for a hockey game and had a great experience. Tee sat in the patio area and enjoyed the live music. Our server was very attentive. I ordered the Crawfish Mona which I highly recommend. It's so good. I will definitely plan on returning on future trips to St. Louis. read more

This was a good experience. We went around Mardi Gras, and the decorations were great and the band played good songs. Unfortunately, we were seated at a table we reserved outside behind a pole, so I couldn't see the band very well, but the ambiance was still really cool. If I returned, I'd probably try the other shrimp dish. My mushroom pasta didn't quite blow me away, but the wings and drinks were good. Our waitress was also very attentive throughout the night. read more

The sangria and Red Bird Lemonade were delicious too. GREAT JOB, BOB!! read more

Broadway oyster bar is such a St. Louis staple. Such a fun vibe and delicious food! It does feel quite a bit like being in New Orleans and they have live music several nights per week. The patio is really fun in the warmer weather months. I have been going there for years and always have to get a hurricane when I'm there. At this last visit, we got oyster shooters, crabcakes, crawfish bisque, and crawfish enchiladas. Everything was great besides, the bisque was incredibly thick, it was almost like pudding consistency, in nowhere resembled a soup. I would not get it again. Everything else I've had there has been great though. At other visits, I've had the voodoo tacos, fried catfish, a variety of oysters and the ahi fajitas. Highly recommend making a reservation on the weekends as they get very busy! read more

To preface this, I've lived in New Orleans so I've had the best of this food and know how it's supposed to taste when it's done right. Unfortunately this missed the mark. It's nearby the Cardinals stadium so it would be a perfectly adequate place to stop for drinks before or after the game. The area is a little sketchy but when there's a game it's fine. I went a few hours after a game so there weren't many people around and the restaurant was pretty empty. The crawfish was frozen despite it being crawfish season. The chargrilled oysters were barely cooked and basically just had oil and poured a bunch of fake Parmesan cheese crumbs on top, which were not melted or browned in the slightest. The oysters were small too and there was no seasoning other than all the powdered cheese. The shrimp boil shrimp tasted decently fresh but the portion size was very small, hard to believe a half pound was only 6 shrimp. The bbq shrimp didn't taste like Worcestershire like it should, it tasted more like shrimp thrown in some tomato based broth. Our server was friend and nice, and served us promptly. She sort of disappeared at the end when we needed the check, but overall she did a fine job. The food unfortunately was a disappointment. The portion sizes were small, the prices were high, the flavors were off. read more

Four of us went to go get dinner here. I guess they're pretty busy and understaffed at 6:30 in the evening. The bartender was taking our order as well as running the bar. I had a shrimp poor boy. One person had the fish and chips. One person had the entree size, red beans and rice and the fourth person had some oysters. The food came out hot and it was tasty. We got exactly what we ordered. It took a while. The place is kind of small. It was kind of loud. I think a band was about to come on as we were leaving. Pretty good food. If you're looking for Louisiana cuisine, this might be a good place to try. read more

We had a great dinner at Broadway Oyster Bar. This was my second time here and we had a great experience both nights. The music was fun and the service was quick and everyone was great about checking in. I had the blackened ahi tuna fajitas and we shared the char grilled oysters. The oysters were good but the ahi tuna was great and I would absolutely order this again. Our most recent visit was a Thursday night which got busier through the evening so I would recommend making reservations. read more

I'll start with my conclusion: I've easily eaten at a few thousand (unique) places in my lifetime. So, I'm not majorly wowed by something different or have places that blow me away. Broadway Oyster however.....provided a dish which really took my wife and I by surprise and yes...blew us away! What dish blew us away? The crabby oysters. On our visit, my wife summed up this dish best when eating. And I quote: "I don't know what this crack sauce they put on these....but you can put this stuff on a shoe and eat it...it's that darn good". Oysters done in a Rockefeller style...topped with a shredded crab, cheese and this red/orange thin sauce...that the taste is out this world good! The shrimp poor boy: a darn good rendition of a classic New Orleans poo boy. The bread they get from New Orleans...which I'd assume is the Leidenheimer Bread CO's bread. But the shrimp and coating on the shrimp - pretty top notch it is! She-crab chowder: Good...not out this world. Cole slaw version: had a vinegar Ana slightly sweet notes...which was good for cutting the heavy rich entrees we had. Stuffed shrimp w/ sauce: Not my favorite with the sauce. Still good enough to eat...but I still had my socks on and didn't knock my socks off after eating my entree. Now, I don't know if those crabby oysters are always on the menu. We dined here at a time they had a seafood festival going on. But that single item....would make a restaurant (if) it remained on the menu! Lastly, the waitress we had was fairly exceptional at her job. A taller skinnier runner lady....that was personable and attentive both. Funny....before I even knew she was our server....she walked by the table and said "Nice shirt"....which was a Cubs shirt. I said "Yeah right" and chuckled...as this restaurant sits about 500 feet away from Busch Stadium in St Louis. Turns out, she was serious and has Cubs fans in her family - good deal! lol. read more

First time here and we found parking right in front YAY We sat in the patio area. We were told that we could not sit at a big table because we were a party of 2 and the big table is for larger parties, that totally makes sense so we moved to a smaller table and waited and waited for a server ...... So finally I went to the bar and ordered our drinks and oyster shooters myself. Bartender was friendly and took our order and asked if we had a server and I said No, and she said she would put our order in, THANK YOU Patio area has a stage with a live band, decor is nice and gives NOLA vibes. This spot is a good spot to pre-game before a baseball game (which is what we came for) read more

Great meal with a friend. I hadn't been here in a while but it was close by and we got in quickly on a Thursday night. The server was attentive and fun to chat with, and got our orders to us quickly! Crab cakes were awesome - great taste and you get quite a bit! Oysters were fresh and amazing. And the shrimp and grits were out of this world (- real comfort food - the grits are fried into a hash brown block and then covered with some magical sauce and shrimps - a must try!!!). Nice atmosphere (in between bands so we could have a conversation). The only "meh" I'd add was that they were out of Abita and the prices seemed a little high. But worth it!! read more

This place is so cool. Oysters, muffaletta and local beers in the shadow of Busch Stadium. Couldn't be better.

We had lunch at Broadway Oyster Bar today and it was fantastic! Such a great vibe overall to the restaurant, very eclectic and NOLA-feeling. I had the boiled crawfish and garlic parm fries as my main and my husband got the blue point oysters and both were fantastic! Out of a pound and a half of crawfish, I only a couple that weren't edible, and the flavor was on point. The service from the host, to the bartender, to our waitress was great and friendly. 10/10 will be going back for those crawfish! read more

Fabulous place. The epitome of St. Louis', New Orleans roots and flare. Eclectic almost to the tune of Venice Cafe, if it were constantly in Mardi Gras mode. This gem hosts all walks of life, and yet, a good time for any and all. The characteristic decor and good bar service are complete with a menu of Cajun, creole food that I found unexpectedly delicious, but others in my party actually come exclusively for this fare. We tried the shrimp voodoo which WAS delicious and perfectly spicy. I'm still intrigued about trying their oysters, which they do in fact sell. Next time. The infamous Steve Ewing just started up something of a residency here as well on Wednesdays, and judging by this first performance, sign me up for every week. Live music, good food, strong drinks, and hours of entertainment?? Get yoself down here read more

We are back in St. Louis after almost five years and had to come back to BOB. We were seated inside this time and we loved the vibe inside! Really cool decor to look at all around. I had the SoCo Hurricane and it was amazing. It was strong but also fruity. My husband had the Blackberry Mule and he loved it. We started with Cajun Tequila wing and they were phenomenal. They were spicy and tangy, crispy and juicy. Everyone LOVED them. I had the chicken Mona, my son the jambalaya, my daughter had the garlic cream linguini, and my husband the pulled pork sliders. Everything was SO GOOD! Insanely good. Our food came out quickly and was hot. Everything was correct and tasted amazing. Our server was amazing, friendly, and we never had empty drinks. She was so helpful and lovely. Can't wait to come back again someday! read more

I'll admit I only came here for a concert. If this was another business, I'd probably drop some stars. However, I feel the ambiance and eccentricity of this business deserves the recognition. For the most part, the few employees I interacted with were polite for a bar in St. Louis. My couple of drinks were decent, so I can't complain. I really wanted some food after seeing it come out a few times! Some of it smelled amazing! The bathroom situation is a little weird. There are two sets of bathrooms, and I would suggest using the restaurant side. The other by the concert area was cramped and out of stock for everything, even if it was a unique set-up. Sound quality was decent for a bar! I can't complain too much! read more

We went here for father's day and the food was not good. My wings were cold when they came out and fried so hard the mest just broke off when you bit into them. I also ordered the chard grill oysters which initially came out cold as well and had no char on them what so ever. So i asked could they place them back on the "grill" which improved them but not much. and while I was expecting Louisiana chard grill oysters I did extra expect better than what I received. I also did not speak with management due to from when we stepped in the restaurant he just seemed so confrontational and argumentative about everything. When we first entered he was rudely talking about a customer seating to the host and being rude to him. Then there was an issue with a patrons bill due to system shutting down and his body language and the way hed huff and puff like he was uninterested in what she had to say was disappointing. plus when others had issues he'd make excuses and legit argue about whatever their issue is in stead of trying to fix it! This os not somewhere Id v go again and what actually looking forward to the visits prior to due to the reviews. But the reviews steered me in the wrong direction!! read more

Looking for some dinner after attending a Cardinals game, I went to Broadway Oyster Bar for some Cajun food. This well know restaurant/bar was nearby and parking was easy to find in their free lot across the street. Inside it was slow that weeknight so getting a table was easy. I asked for a shrimp po boy with a side of their Cajun slaw for $19.75. While waiting less than 15 minutes for it to arrive, I walked around to admire all of the unique interior decor in the full bar area and large dining room with good background music playing. This place has a lot of unique character that adds to its popularity. Outside is a neat partially covered patio area with another full bar and a small stage for music acts. Looks like a great hangout place. The po boy was about 8" cut in half and served on Gambino's bread. Serving Gambino's is a big plus. It had medium size fried shrimp with lettuce and tomato with sliced pickles along with some cracked pepper mayo. It was a good tasting sandwich on excellent bread (3.5). The slaw was tangy and fresh tasting. Table service was very good. read more

Grabbed dinner here while in St Louis. We had reservations, which I didn't think we needed when we got there, but it got very busy while we were there. We sat on the patio and experienced some slow/weird service issues. There was a broken glass, the clean up process, then, I'm pretty sure the woman who was supposed to be our server left, so we got absorbed by another server. Once we ordered our food, things moved much quicker. I got the creole mary to drink and it was good. Our server suggested the alligator sausage cheesecake appetizer and it was incredible. We also got the sampler platter, and it was good too. If you like Louisiana style food, stop by! read more

The seafood is bomb. The decor is very interesting. The staffs are really nice! Totally recommend coming here. It was one of our favorite places in STL. We got the mussels, Brussels sprouts, half bucket of crawfish, and the sampler entrée, which came with etouffle, gumbo, and jambalaya, and rice and beans. We really enjoyed the jambalaya and the etouffle from the sampler. They were super flavorful. The gumbo not so much. The bucket of crawfish was a treat. They seasoned it well and I love that you can get a half bucket. It was a lot of food! The mussels were excellent too. In the end my friend got their bread pudding and it was the best dessert we had all weekend. Forget the gooey butter cake, this one is so much better!
