"Please don’t judge me for this one. I was having a bad week. I hadn’t been outside in months, accidentally bought a gigantic bag of decaf coffee, and just the night before, had resorted to hand-washing all of my loose change, just to pass the time. Sh*t was dark. So I bought a dozen oysters from Broad Street Oyster Company. What was I supposed to do? Not eat the platter of raw oysters right away? Drive all the way back to the Eastside from Malibu, a trip that could easily take two hours? Twist and turn down PCH, while my beautiful little oysters sloshed around in a puddle of melting ice in the passenger seat? No thank you. So, like the civilized, law-abiding person I am, I pulled into a deserted parking lot along the beach, gently spooned the sweet, meaty mollusks into my mouth, and thought about how much longer I could get away with not paying for my car registration." - kat hong
"This seafood shack in Malibu will hook you up with a world-class selection of fresh oysters served over crushed ice. (They also serve locally sourced oysters, mussels, shrimp, and uni.) Come for a glistening coastline and salty sea air." - sylvio martins, nikko duren
"Perhaps the most destination-worthy place in Malibu, Broad Street Oyster Co. has a hidden location at Malibu Country Mart that serves everything from supremely fresh oysters to perhaps the best lobster roll in the city (adding extra butter and extra lobster meat is always a smart option). Scallop crudo, fried seafood platters, a deceptively simple Caesar, and Baja-style fish tacos all round out the menu — plus an unexpected caviar-topped hot dog to kick your picnic up a notch." - Eater Staff
"Broad Street Oyster Co. isn’t just a great place to eat along PCH—it’s a destination worth braving gridlock traffic. The move at this counter-service spot inside the Malibu Country Mart is to come with a small group for a late lunch. That way, you’ll be able to order a bit of everything: oysters on the half shell, steamed mussels in brothy white wine sauce, maybe a cup or two of their excellent clam chowder. Just make sure to include their lobster roll. We like it served hot and smothered in butter, a luxurious sandwich that’s sure to impress even the pickiest of seafood eaters. Yes, we’re looking at you, New Englanders." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Broad Street Oyster Company, the once-nomadic raw bar setup known for Sunday sessions at Smorgasburg, is one of the busiest restaurants in Malibu, with long lines stretching on the weekends. The lobster rolls are a thing of beauty (smart orderers go for extra drawn butter), but always get the razor clams and fresh uni. Head to the OG location in Malibu, or to the outposts in Santa Barbara, Grand Central Market, and the Huntington Beach Pier." - Mona Holmes
