Could not have asked for a better experience. The food was excellent and Drago’s is definitely not stingy with their portions. You will not leave hungry. Staff is friendly and very helpful with any questions you may have. Will be back!
I had been looking for charbroiled oysters that were really good, and I finally found them! The best I’ve ever eaten.
First time visitor and I had a lovely experience. The food and customer service is exceptionally great! Food came in a timely manner and our waitress was amazing! I really enjoyed the food. I had the spinach dip, a cup of gumbo, charbroiled oysters, and the seafood pasta. However, all of those were appetizers except the pasta. 😁 I highly recommend.
Drago's is a really nice seafood restaurant in Metarie, a close suburb of New Orleans.
That it was popular could be seen from the fact there was no parking available in the parking lot next to the restaurant. I had to park a couple of blocks away.
We had a plate of a dozen charbroiled oysters to start. It is cooked in a rich sauce and should work even for folks who don't like the taste of raw oysters. I think this is something the restaurant is known for and well worth having. This was followed with Golden Fried Catch of the Day (It was a white flaky fish although forgot the precise type) and we finished with the I-Scream Fireball. I'm including pictures of the menu which have more detailed descriptions.
Overall the place was a decent size, open restaurant. Our waiter was a college student who was clearly still in training since he was being shadowed by a more experienced waiter. However he did a great job.
We were down for. Funeral and decided to stop by for lunch. We were not disappointed.
The charbroiled oysters were so good. We ordered 2 dozen those went pretty fast so we ordered another dozen. We even bought the Drago's Garlic Butter sauce to take back home with us.
We will be back .
I came here strictly for the char grilled oysters! And they were so delicious. The customer service was great! Tammy was our server, will definitely be back when I am in town.
The broiled oysters were amazing! I also had the Dr. Pepper gator tail dish, It was ok but I will definitely go back for the broiled oysters. Service was good. I got there not to long after opening so seating was no issue.
Good service, consistent food quality, all from a family owned restaurant chain. It IS expensive for local creole style shrimp or surf and turf. We paid $60 each for dinner. This is a good place to meet friends and family but you are uncertain of their likes and dislikes. There are ample choices, and the quality is consistent. The cheesecake is a must try! The atmosphere was unremarkable.
I can modestly say that I’ve travelled around 🌎 quite a bit , and tried different kinds of cuisines, especially anything seafood causes that’s my favorite! And I can honestly say with zero doubt that these were THE BEST oysters 🦪 I’ve ever had in my life thus far ! I am certain it will be a huge challenge to find better ones. But I will definitely be coming back to NOLA just to have more .
Great time sitting at the bar with an assortment of appetizers. The charbroiled oysters never disappoint, I even found a pearl in one. Staff was friendly and engaging.
