Broad Street Oyster Company

A funky fresh seafood shack in the Country Mart. Best known for their silky oysters served cold on ice, the lobster sandwich (either warmed with butter or chilled with mayo) is another can't miss!  

A ton of covered patio seating is available next to the shop--you'll see these tables once you walk down the corridor towards the restaurant entrance. Hot sauce is already waiting on the table for you.    

A public bathroom is hiding back here as well, which can also be used if you're shopping around the Country Mart and need to go. 

A few doors down Broad Street has an associated coffee and ice cream shop, where you can grab a sweet treat after your seafood splurge. 

Located in the same part of the Malibu shopping plaza as Traveler, Broad St has great oysters and seafood.
