Drive down Madison Avenue too fast and you'll miss this little storefront shop that's been around the better part of a century. I was introduced to this place by a former co-worker who's grandfather was from this tidy little working class town. I have only had the fried cod sandwich, but it really is the best fish sandwich anywhere. A thick cod filet breaded and fried by genuine Croatian immigrants, topped with a homemade pepper relish between two slices of cream bread. The Cream bread, made daily at a bakery in St. Louis, is so soft and spongy it makes wonder bread look like Roman Meal. I had not been here for over 20 years, and I'm happy to say that not one thing has changed. I made a 15 minute detour off of interstate 64 to share an experience with my 15 year old son. He silently ate the whole sandwich, looked up and proclaimed it the best meal of his entire life. Long live authenticity! Cash only!

I am SO impressed with the Broadway Oyster Bar! I did the call ahead priority seating and we were seated right when we checked in on a busy Saturday night. Awesome! We ordered the Voodoo shrimp as a starter and it was phenomenal! Our waitress Carly (I hope I didnât spell that wrong) recommended the Hurricane drink and that was spot on as well. Carly was super friendly and helpful. She found the time on a busy Saturday to get to know our table and we appreciated that. I was stuck between two main dishes and she persuaded me to get the crawfish mona dish. WOW! Carly-thank you SO much. This meal was amazing and I will dream about it back in Michigan. Iâm so glad I found this place on Yelp. 10/10 we will be back someday. Your waitress Carly is a gem! We donât know either! I do know we get a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews just like yours because I respond to every review on Trip Advisor, Google and Yelp. We want to know how our guests feel about what we do and what they like and do not like. Thank you for coming to BOB and for choosing to follow up your visit with an outstanding 5 star review. We are very pleased to know that we impressed you with everything from our Preferred Seating program, great food and drink and especially our âfriendly and helpfulâ service from Carly. We try to bring a bit of the Southern hospitality that we know so well from our time in Louisiana here to our friends in the Midwest. Both Carly and I are thrilled to know that you found us and that you feel sure you will be back someday. Since we have been in business for 41 years, there is a pretty good chance we will still be here! Thank you for your support and we will look forward to your return. John

I don't normally praise fast food establishments, but the staff at this location has always stood out as fast and friendly. The food is of a good quality yet nothing special. The service however, is always outstanding. I go there for the food, but the people are great.
