Drago's Seafood Restaurant

Take my review with a grain of salt, I’m not a seafood guy. We have the charbroiled oysters and they were very good. I have never had oysters prepared like this, and it has changed my opinion on them as a dish. I generally will eat some of the regularly prepared ways and only occasionally as part of larger parties. The butter and garlic spices was also just good plain on the provided bred. We also had alligator tacos and they were a good balance of fresh ingredients and a little spice. Lastly we had the lobster Marco I loved the noodles, sauce, and shrimp. The portion was good too. I’m not a big fan of lobster meet in general. So I just crack the claws and share the meat with my wife, I can take it or leave it. So if it was good or bad I could not say. Over all good food. They are very popular so I would plan ahead. It’s worth the time even if you just pop in to try the oysters.

Another must stop while in town. The best chargrilled oysters that I have eaten. Service was great. The seafood gumbo was below average. The fish was fresh and delicious. Lastly the crawfish Etoufee was very good but more rice than I prefer. I would love to give a five star review, but the seafood gumbo needs to be better.

The charbroiled oysters are good, but for someone that eats raw oysters, i still prefer them raw. The seasoning is just like escargot, garlicky and cheesy. And after finishing all the oysters, use the bread to dip up all the oil on the plate. We were there around 6:30PM on Thursday, and no line. Other dishes were ok..

Easily the best restaurant I tried on my weekend visit to New Orleans. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and even though I will say the portion size was a bit small and it could have used more lobster, other than that it was amazing. My friends liked the shrimp pasta, and my other friends said the seafood pasta was some of the best they ever tried. The service here was also amazing. We expected there to be a wait on a busy Saturday night when many students were here visiting for a football game, but our party of 6 got seated right away. Our waiter was extremely nice and honest about our questions about the menu. Our food came out really quickly. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, keep in mind it is a bit on the pricier side but it is worth it

The charbroiled oysters brought us in once, and then they brought us back 2 days later. Great drinks, (hurricanes!), prompt service, and the most amazing oysters. Sure you can get other charbroiled oysters without leaving the Quarter, but these are the ones that called us back. They will call you back as well. Sit at the bar for the best experience, you won't regret it

Visited this past weekend and although very busy was seated fairly quick even without reservations. I had the raw Oysters, seafood gumbo and the boudin stuffed shrimp. The Oysters were definitely fresh and the boudin stuffed Shrimp was delicious. The gumbo was just ok and the only seafood I saw in it was bite sized shrimp. I guess it should have been labeled as Shrimp gumbo. Overall the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Side note: I visited this restaurant twice during my visit and the 2nd time I had the steak and lobster. The steak didn't taste like a sirloin but more like a pot roast with a mushroom gravy on top. Also the lobster pieces I received must have been from a baby lobster because they were super small and definitely not worth it for the cost. I wish I would have taken a picture of it.

On vacation to see our daughter & this place keeps coming up for the Chabot charbroiled oysters. So I had to try them. If they weren't so expensive I would've eaten a few dozen! They were amazing! I also had the alligator tacos (also very good), and the crayfish etouffee. The etouffee was tasty, but very salty. I was very happy with my first time experience at Drago's. I cannot forget to mention that my server was top notch!

Drago's Charbroiled Oysters here were incredible, get a dozen! The best part is that they often give more than 12 because they try to be fair with the different sizes. You won't regret it! We also had the Seafood Gumbo which was delicious as well as the Lobster Mac n Cheese. Dip the bread in the garlic butter from the oysters and experience butter nirvana.
