Iconic lobster rolls and seafood with stunning ocean views
"In 2023, Broad Street Oyster Company took over the closed former Ruby’s Diner at the very tip of the Huntington Beach Pier. It’s a stunning rework of a longtime space with those iconic lobster rolls and other seafood favorites. Pro tip: the best 180-degree view is upstairs." - Eater Staff
"A seafood restaurant in Malibu facing utility issues due to the Palisades Fire, impacting its ability to operate." - Rebecca Roland
"A colorful Huntington Beach seafood destination taking over the former Ruby’s Diner at the end of the pier, offering lobster rolls, burgers, and classic seafood in an iconic beachfront space that’s drawn long lines." - Eater Staff
"Out at the Huntington Beach pier I observed Broad Street Oyster Company as one of several busy coastal projects contributing to the area's growing restaurant scene." - Farley Elliott
"Huntington Beach hasn’t seen this kind of restaurant anticipation in years; I can understand the excitement—founder Christoper Tompkins has turned his pop-up into a colorful seafood behemoth, and Broad Street Oyster Co. opens on the Huntington Beach Pier this weekend. The new space, in the historic location that was for years Ruby’s Diner, offers Oakley-sunglass levels of wraparound ocean views and is decked out in the company’s signature teal and light-yellow color scheme with retro striped awnings, glowing signage, funky cartoon characters, and quirky merchandise. Inside the dining room is purposely spare—mostly wood, glass, and nautical pieces—so the focus stays on Broad Street’s trays of shellfish, heaping lobster rolls, and surprising side items like burgers and hot dogs. Given the brand’s rapid growth since first opening in 2019 in Malibu and expansions to Santa Barbara and Grand Central Market (with a coming Ghirardelli Square spot in San Francisco), expect long lines of hungry beachgoers; it will be open for lunch through evening hours daily." - Farley Elliott
