Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Casual, self-service setup.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐½☆
• Lobster Roll + Uni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent. The bread was buttered and toasted perfectly, and both the lobster and uni were very fresh.
Honestly, this combination is hard to mess up
• Fries ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Too oily and too dry at the same time. Not enjoyable
Will I come back?
Yes—for the lobster roll, not the fries.

We tried the lobster rolls at Broad Street Oyster Company, and they were really enjoyable. The rolls had a generous amount of lobster, which was fresh and tender. The buttery flavor made it feel rich and satisfying, though it was a bit on the heavier side.
Overall, the lobster rolls were a solid choice if you’re in the mood for something indulgent, though a bit pricey. Definitely worth trying if you’re craving seafood.

Very disappointed to travel here from WA and see everything change over the years. Horrible environment and people. The Famous Lobster rolls are not the same anymore. Avoid coming here to spend $45 on a lobster roll. There is noting famous or delicious about this place!

30$ for bland pasta is not great. Doesn’t help there are no salt shakers. Only option is Tabasco which covers it up. Waited 20 minutes for them to fill the water station but that never happened.

Cool atmosphere, but the service here is terrible (for drinks). Food service was solid, but the rest left a lot to be desired. We got shrimp cocktail which was 25$ for 5 mid shrimp. Lobster roll was dry. The only thing that this place is good for is the fry sauce… fry sauce was 10/10. Overall, would not recommend

I had the lobster roll and it wad good, but the lobster was not as tender as I had hoped. Also, I should note that originally I thought the roll was cheaper than other seafood redtaurants’ in the area but it comes a la carte so add another $6 or so for fries or a side.

Popular seafood chain that lives up to its reputation as arguably the best lobster roll. If you like your lobster roll served as a whole claw with just butter and a toasted bun aka Connecticut style, then this is ome of the best places to have it. We did try the urchin but the size was a bit umderwhelming. But all in all the lobster roll made up for it.
The resto shares the long and large dining patio space with a counter bar which serves the the right combo for any dish you order.
The service is fast and helpful.
The dining area is a mix of various tropical styles and is wide enough to take on large diners. A great place for small parties and grouos of any size.

Really cool location (great decor and cleanliness). The food was very fresh and tasty. The pieces of lobster in the rolls were large, and the amount was pretty generous compared to other places I’ve been. The single piece of fish for the fish and chips surprised me, but it was really crispy, well-cooked, and tasty, with good fries and sauces. There’s self-serve ice water with these neat metal cups.

A welcome addition to the trio of businesses here. The clam chowder is more clam-my and bacon-y than the usual cloyingly-creamy version at most restaurants; I really liked it. My wife thought the fish and chips were just okay (hence the 1 star off). You can take the food to eat at Modern Times, which has the most amazing beer selection this side of San Diego (where the other one is), especially if you want interesting stouts, sours, and all other manner of weird beers. I assume you can also eat it at Shaker Mill, the brewery in front, which has more standard options and a more energetic vibe.

After a particularly challenging day, I wanted to treat myself to something special so when I saw that stone crab was available at Broad Street Oyster Co—just minutes from where I was staying, I was all in.
I ordered the large order of stone crab claws (6), the Caesar salad with anchovies, and the uni butter pasta with added “fresh” uni on top (for an extra charge) for a total charge of $170.49 including tip, tax, fee.
I received the text that my order was ready just as I was parking a block away.
The pick up counter is in a bar, I told the guy that I was there to pick up my order—the guy then proceeds to gab with his co-workers for a solid 5 mins while I can see my bag on the counter next to him. After some confusion (my bag was the only one on the counter) I received my bag and headed to my bnb.
When I started to take the items out of the bag, a fishy smell filled the kitchen. The 6 crab claws were divided into 2 ice filled containers and looked very underwhelming. I put the claws on a plate and tried to eat them. First, the claws were absolutely butchered. Whomever took the mallet to them didn’t care if they left the shells in tiny little inedible pieces that were way too small to extricate from the crab meat. They obviously just whacked the heck out of each piece and ruined the crab. Every piece I tried to eat was filled with little shell bits. I had to spit it out. On top of it, the crab was mealy, grey, and covered with a white thick slime. All the legs were covered with the white slime. I couldn’t believe how awful it was! And at that price.
I understand that stone crab was out of season so I wasn’t expecting to replicate what I had in orlando and Miami, in season—but these were foul and spoiled.
The Caesar salad was limp and not tossed well. Some leaves had zero dressing while other parts were just globs of thick, grainy dressing. For $19.
The pasta was cooked al dente but had very little flavor. And the extra uni on top (that was $14 extra) was pulpy, broken, and not fresh tasting.
I ended up dumping all of it in the trash that smelled like death by sewage before I went to bed.
I called the next day to tell them about my experience and the guy who answered the phone was unintelligible. After some time he passed the phone to someone who was very nice. He apologized for the bad experience and refunded me for JUST THE CRAB CLAWS. He was genuinely bummed that I had a bad experience and offered me a free order of claws if I wanted to come by and pick them up. Thanks but no thanks.
I appreciated his earnest disappointment in my bad experience but I would never eat there again—not even for free.
Avoid the gross, white slime, over cracked shells, and terrible food at all (very expensive) costs.
Left 2 stars because of how the employee on the phone handled my concern but still wouldn’t eat here if you paid me.
