Great place with live music and amazing food! I had the steak and it was A-mazing!!! And don't sleep on the bread pudding! 10 out of 10.

We love BOB and hadn't been for a while - so we went! I did make a reservation, but it wasn't super crowded when we got there. We were able to get a table on the patio where there's live music. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone playing while we were there. There had been music earlier and there would be some later, but not in the time we were there. Maybe next time! Our server was Anya and she was great! We placed drink orders and then had the tough choice of deciding what we were going to eat. We decided to start with the Alligator Sausage & Shrimp Cheesecake. Sounds weird, but it's delicious! It is in no way a traditional cheesecake. I've added a photo of it, but it was after I had already cut it up. It comes out looking like a piece of pie. I looked at the menu and went to my fave - Shrimp Voodoo Tacos. They were so good! It came with a "side" of Jambalaya. The side was a full dinner portion! In fact, I was so full, I brought the whole serving home and my husband had it for dinner and it filled him up. He got the Fried Oysters. It's a great place for people watching. The last time we were there, a woman walked in with a birdcage and bird. You don't see that every day in a restaurant! The place is just good food, good drinks, and good vibes. We'll definitely be back! read more

Nice outdoor fun vibe. There's a cover if a band is playing. I only stopped in for dessert. The bread pudding is a must have! read more

Cajun food is delicious at Broadway Oyster Bar! We each ordered a cup of the gumbo that was served with a small cornbread muffin too. Really good flavor from the andouille sausage and peppers. I ordered Aunt Hattie's crawfish etouffee which was full of crawfish, celery and bell peppers. I really like the spices too. My boyfriend ordered the catfish platter. It was a large portion of fish and tasty except the batter was fried too hard. Our entrees also were served with the small cornbread muffins too. Our server Lauren was very responsive and checked on us several times. Restaurant was not crowded and we were seated immediately upon entering the bar area. Atmosphere is lower lighting and lots of Cajun decorations and some from St. Louis too. Bathrooms are individual stalls decorated with Cajun and Mardi Gras items. They are having a band play tonight on the patio so we didn't sit there and avoided the $12 cover. read more

Pit stop... I will return but I had a need and they met it. Convenient, location and promise to return Caesar's salad & crawfish bisque. A very eclectic menu but I will begin here. Located right off the express way, close to the stadium and Soulard. The menu is vast and the options all look amazing and delicious. The ambiance is honkie tonkie, rustic without western wear. Lots of music memorabilia. Inside dimly lit but outside is a vibe. I shall return. The service was what it was. Nothing missing, nothing broken read more

Super cool place!! Makes you feel like you're on vacation although it's only 10 minutes from my house.... Gator Tacos were good, although I think the dipping sauce should've been sweet vs salty but very yummy and I would get them again and just request some sort of of sweet sauce on the side :) And the bread pudding is pretty darn good! I wish it had raisins but most people hate that lol I'll be back!! read more

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

Came here for a quick dinner. I'm glad I made a reservation because the host was acting like this place was packed on a Friday around 7pm. I told him I made a reservation and than his tune suddenly changed. He cleaned off a table and we sat down. Not sure why he initially said that because this place wasn't even that crowded or busy. Anywhere we sat down and ordered our food. We got a garlic cream shrimp pasta, salami sandwich, and catfish nuggets as an appetizer. The good was good. The pasta had a slight kick to it which I enjoyed. I'll try to come back and try new menu items. Can finally say I've been here before. As always until next time... read more

Broadway Oyster Bar is one of those places that instantly transports you the moment you walk in. The lively atmosphere, eclectic décor, and live music create an authentic New Orleans vibe that's hard to find anywhere else. It has so much character, making it the perfect spot to relax, enjoy great food, and soak in the energy of downtown St. Louis. The standout for me was the garlic clams. They were incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and swimming in a rich, buttery garlic sauce that was absolutely irresistible. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I found myself reaching for extra bread just to soak up every last drop. Our server was very friendly with a great upbeat attitude. read more

Dawn was a great server, very friendly and attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection but could've done better on the flavor, the mashed potatoes were the star of the show!! Omg so good so flavorful I recommend again and again! The Caesar salad was good and the parm garlic fries were delicious! read more

We stop in this little hole in the wall when we pass through STL and LOVE IT. We stopped in for lunch and got the Oyster Medley, Shrimp Voodoo, Cajun Fries, and Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings. Everything was super good, shrimp was cooked perfectly and the coleslaw with it is literally the best I've ever had. The fries were crunchy and soft inside (my preferred fry type 10/10). The service was good. My only complaint would be the wings were a hair over cooked (WAY BETTER than under cooked though lol). 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

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

We were passing through St. Louis on our way to New Jersey and happened to stop in on the perfect night (Monday). the oldest blues band the Soulard Blues Band were playing live. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the crawfish was well-seasoned, and the gumbo was rich and full of flavor. The service was exceptional from start to finish, with a friendly and attentive staff that made the experience even better. We definitely got lucky finding this place, and if we're ever passing through St. Louis again, this will be one of our first stops 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

Best shrimp and grits I've had in along time! Ambiance is chill and eclectic. Most nights they have live music and it's a vibe.

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

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 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 - Food was dry and terrible. Very disgusting. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

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

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

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

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

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
