Broad Street Oyster Company

Broad Street Oyster Company is a casual seafood and lobster roll spot in Malibu, with a price point of about $40 per person. It is best framed as a direct pick for lobster rolls, fried oysters, clam chowder, seafood towers, burgers, and a relaxed Malibu meal rather than a formal fine-dining occasion.

The useful way to judge it is by fit. If the group wants casual seafood in Malibu and the order is likely to center on a lobster roll or other seafood staples, Broad Street Oyster Company makes sense.

Lobster rolls first, with seafood staples around them

The menu is easiest to understand through its signatures: lobster roll, seafood tower, fried oysters, clam chowder, and burgers. That gives mixed groups a simple range, from a lobster-roll-focused meal to a broader seafood order with a burger option for someone who wants something outside the main seafood lane.

Christopher Tompkins is the founder and culinary lead, and the restaurant’s identity is built around casual seafood rather than a long, formal dining structure. For planning purposes, the most reliable confirmed details are the Malibu location, the casual dress code, the daily hours of 11:30 AM–9:00 PM, and the approximate $40 per person spend.

That makes Broad Street Oyster Company a practical Malibu choice when the meal should be easy to understand: casual seafood, lobster rolls, and recognizable coastal staples.

Who should choose it, and who should skip it

Choose it if the group wants a casual seafood meal in Malibu and is comfortable building the order around lobster rolls, fried oysters, clam chowder, a seafood tower, or burgers. The $40 per person price point also makes it easier to compare against other casual dining in Malibu.

Skip it if the occasion requires confirmed fine-dining details that are not part of the profile here, such as a tasting-menu format, a formal service style, or a documented quiet dining-room experience. For broader planning around the area, compare it with other Malibu dining based on the kind of meal you want before or after your visit.
