The restaurant located in Metairie is fabulous. By all means try it. However, my husband and I recently decided to check out the one located in the Hilton rather than make the trip from the Quarter where we were staying. Big mistake! We got zero atmosphere, slow and inattentive service and food that was just plain bad (not to mention... more

Went to the restaurant at the Hilton just to try the famous charbroiled oysters. Maybe my expectation for it was too high, since it is suppose to be rated the "best". Bits of shell had gone into the oysters when they were opening it and some of them were sandy. What a disappointment! more

This restaurant has a Lunch menu with nice prices. The regular dinner prices are medium - high prices (example: Seafood Gumbo Soup - cup $7 bowl $10-$11). There are some reasonable prices but the food is pretty good. They have excellent charbroiled oysters with a unique taste but they are delicious. You have to try them. The only thing about... more

We had the charbroiled oysters and the seasonal softshell crab! If you never had charbroiled oysters at Drago's you are missing out. Despite the busy busy dinner time, we did not have to wait and were seated at our table immediately. Our server was charming, chatty and efficient. Our drinks showed up almost immediately and the food was served in... more

I love Oysters. Raw, fried, grilled, broiled, you name it. But Drago's Chargrilled Oysters are the best ! Period. Not even a close second comes to mind. They are ridiculously huge - like the size of the palm of you hand big, and shucked immediately prior to their getting tossed on the grill. They are covered with a cheese -... more

Amazing!

We went here on our first day and ordered 6 charbroiled oysters for a starter. We sat at the oyster bar and watched them shuck and grill the oysters. Had a great conversation with Stuart who grilled our oysters. They were so good that we ordered another dozen and a half. We ate at other places on our trip just... more

WOW, a local recommended Drago's, and specifically the parmesan cheese and butter encrusted charbroiled oysters! YUM! Truly delicious, I ate almost a dozen by myself, with a very nice Reisling. The staff was very nice, the location great, right in the Hilton, on the riverwalk. Truly delicious! more

I agree with a fellow reviewer... WHY EAT ANYTHING OTHER THAN Charbroiled osters? They are delicious! Ate 2 1/2 dozens with my two kids. Located in New Orleans Hilton. Parking is across. DO not forget to validate parking, you will save 50%. Recommend for lunch, when not too busy. Service was awesome, everyone very friendly. Will visit again, when I... more
