The snow crab legs were excellent! Great service! Somewhat loud with two large parties next to us, (so don't go thinking you can have a nice, quiet dinner ) but overall, we can't wait to go back!

Must try the Alligator & Shrimp cheesecake ! The ultimate savory cheesecake of shrimp , alligator sausage from Poche's in Louisiana & a blend of cream cheese & warm Gouda cheese . Served with pita bread

Riverfront Times

The Horny Gator is wonderfully fruity and sweet, with plenty of banana and coconut . The hard stuff is hidden a bit by those syrupy liquors and goes down entirely too easy. http://bit.ly/1cUNwTI

The Alligator Sausage & Shrimp Cheesecake is the best thing I've ever tasted! Ultimate savory cheesecake of shrimp , alligator sausage from Louisiana, and a blend of cream cheese and warm Gouda cheese !

Liz Gasteinn

So so GOOD???? Our bartender PJ (The Westin, where we stayed) recommended this place; food IS excellent - get the Char Grilled Oysters , Crawfish Mona , Lobster Po Boy & Calamari - all so very tasty????????????

Laurie Fox

We had a Sazerac at the bar and then tried to crawfish bisque . Both were amazing! I also had oysters , Rockefeller and fresh oysters ! They were terrific. I highly recommend the Broadway Oyster Bar!

Mike Bryan

Great food! Even have gluten free options ! Live music all the time, funky atmosphere and helpful staff . 2 enthusiastic thumbs up

lindsey olsen

Alligator cheesecake and bread pudding , get them! I also don't usually like oysters but these were worth trying, very tasty!

Vicky Treffert

Everything about this place is amazing! It is my #1 go to for food, music , & atmosphere! They also have themed festivals like “Comfort Food ” or “Po’boy” etc. I’m telling ya, it is a must!

Dominique Thomas

Easily one of my top five favorite places to eat in Stl. The catfish ! The meat cheesecake ! The oyster NOLA!!!! Wow! And of course a great beer selection ! Cheers folks!

Erik Rowley

Fun and unique bar in downtown St.Louis with a Cajun theme. Worth grabbing drinks and oysters on the weekends, live music on the patio . Jambalaya was alright, nothing spectacular.

Skyler Clarkson

This place is Great... But I suppose I'm a little biased -because I love seafood -especially the Crispy kind.  ;-)    Here is the "Voodoo Shrimp ":

John K

Both my wife and I enjoyed the seafood selections . I tried out the draft beer list and after three tries I really didn't find much to my satisfaction. It's a great place for a social experience.

Jesse Bagels

Real good place for outdoor drinks, cajun eats, oysters , and live music . The boiled crawfish were not so great but there's a lot of other things to try and enjoy.

Anke Ruwette

Started with Oyster and got Crab as the main course! Very delicious and such a fun atmosphere . Go sit outside and enjoy the music !

Janice Galli

St. Louis' answer to Nawlins -- Crawfish , crab , oyster , shrimp , lobster Po'boys, all at a reasonable price

Chai Odom

This place is obviously good for oysters . The chargrilled are the way to go. They also have live music , and a great selection of beer on tap .

Gregory Edward

Alligator sausage and shrimp cheesecake sounds wrong but is so right, it is a savory delight! Fish tacos and bread pudding is also awesome!

Chele Rocks

Their unique take on shrimp & grits is excellent. Great happy hour too!

Aaron Williams

The house-made andouille sausage grinder was incredible. And if they have oyster stew as the soup of the day, make room for at least one bowl...hoping they add this regularly. i loved my lunch there.

Riverfront Times

Go with the fried alligator as an appetizer ! Helped by Broadway Oyster Bar's excellent Cajun seasoning , the meat is tender and delectable. We wolfed down every bite. http://bit.ly/17J2XX3

Megan Haeffele

Oh my god oysters , shrimp and crawfish . This place has a terrific atmosphere, live music and fun customers. I've tried nearly a dozen plates and apps and have never bed disappointed.

Rosemary De Los Santos

The lobster po’boy was delicious. Service was excellent and atmosphere was perfect. Live music , drinks and chill . ❤️????????

Cindy L

Awesome food. The alligator sausage and shrimp cheesecake , chargrill oysters and sampler platter was very good. You have to check this place out.

Phil Miller

The food is great, especially the sea food . Good music acts also frequently play here. Can be crowded , especially when the Cards are playing at home.

With an Abita beer and a slice of alligator cheesecake , Broadway Oyster Bar is about as close as you can get to New Orleans in St. Louis. (Evan S. Benn) Read more

You may have to wait but it's WORTH IT!! Promise! Foods incredible. There is a reason for the crowd.

Vincent Chesney

Soft shell crab tacos with a Tchoupitoulas tea (Four Roses bourbon , tea , lemon and soda ) to wash it down.

Mike Dickson

As good as The oyster bar in Grand Central New York City but about a third of the price great atmosphere

Karen>ArchCityHomes

Great place to sit on the patio and listen to live music . If you want to try something different that isn't too spicy , give the Crawfish Enchiladas a try.

Brendan Chin

the crawfish dishes are amazing and the daily specials sometimes can be ridiculously delicious. love the swordfish daily special meal. simply tasteful.

It's good but not fantastic. I'd give it 3, maybe 3.5, stars out of 5. There are better Cajun joints in the state , but this place is fun and has a cool atmosphere.

Krzysztof L.

oh my goodness!!! amazing food!!! oysters and crab dip are must-have!!!

Jackie Faber

Gumbo is out of this world, there is always live music and fresh Oysters . Don't miss the Muffaletta !

Emily Westerholt

Best crab legs in town !! Patio is perfect for a summer night when they have live music !!

Paige Tobin

Always order voodoo shrimp and chargrilled oysters . Can't beat it. Live music and a cocktail only enhance the experience.

Ashilay Dillow

The voodoo shrimp is where it's at... and remember to ask for an industry card if you work for a bar or restaurant ... 1/2 priced drinks!!!

Dianne Carty

Open late with great music and close to the stadium . This place has it all. Real nice place to go with out-of-town guests!

Jon B.
