Broad Street Oyster Company

Tucked away in an unassuming corner of Malibu Village, Broad Street Oyster Company is the kind of place you might drive past without noticing—but that would be a mistake. What started as a roving pop-up has matured into one of the best seafood spots along Pacific Coast Highway, offering a laid-back vibe that feels like hanging out at the world’s best beach party.

The menu here is a celebration of the sea. The seafood tower is a showstopper, piled high with briny oysters, quivering uni, and perfectly poached shrimp. But the real star might be the hot lobster roll—a beautifully simple creation of generous lobster chunks drenched in warm butter and nestled in a golden toasted bun. Seasonal offerings rotate through, featuring everything from Japanese river crabs to grilled spiny lobster, so there’s always something new to discover.

The experience at Broad Street is refreshingly casual. Order at the window, grab a spot outside, and watch the Malibu crowd drift by. It’s the perfect place for those who want exceptional seafood without the stuffiness—think flip-flops welcome, no reservations needed. The fish and chips deliver that satisfying crunch, the clam chowder is loaded with whole clams and smoky pancetta, and even the burger surprises with its umami-rich seaweed seasoning.

Whether you’re looking for a quick lobster roll fix on your way up the coast or want to linger over a towering seafood platter with friends, Broad Street delivers. It’s proof that sometimes the best restaurants are the ones hiding in plain sight.
