We ordered the charbroiled oysters . My boyfriend ate 2. I ate 10. Moral of the story: Always get a dozen (or more).

Justin Locke

Raw oysters and the Lobster Empire as pictured. Everything was fantastic and right in the hotel

It may come off as a bit touristy , but if you're around the Quarter/CBD, a dozen broiled oysters and a Bloody Mary make for a quick, satisfying lunch . [Eater 38 Member]

Never had Oysters ? Order the Dozen Charbroiled , it will change your Life! Also ask for Ashlee, she is simply the best, and will make you feel at home! ???????? ???? ????

Morgan Stahl

The alligator snack bites were AMAZING! I've had alligator bites before, but this was the best I've ever had. Also, my first time trying gumbo - just as delicious!!

Jeff Snyder

Charred Oysters are amazing. Perfect seasonings with just the right amount of a char flavor. Tender oysters . Followed with wonderful shrimp etoufee. Yumm.

RobinWB

Chargrilled oysters changed my mind about not liking oysters ..smokey, seasoned, and yummy. They also have fresh grated horseradish , and horseradish mustard .

Considered by many to have the best chargrilled oysters in New Orleans. Located in the Hilton Riverside, the restaurant is in a great location and has plenty of room to fit your entire party.

Courtney Justice

Dragos is not a place to miss! The chargrilled oysters are incredible- and a must have. We also had the seafood pasta and jambalaya with shrimp and both were also excellent.

Serious Eats

This Central Business District classic may look more like a TGI Friday's than your typical New Orleans oyster bar , but the "Home of the Original Charbroiled Oyster " has earned its claim to fame.

The charbroiled oysters were better then everyone raved about online and throughout the city . It's a tourist trap for sure but well earned and worth the crowds.

Davis Erica

Charboiled oysters are to die for. Don't leave without getting a dozen or two.

Rj St Thomas

Best charbroiled oysters ever!

Cyn Ful

This is a locally-owned restaurant , and anything downtown or uptown will be 'touristy .' If you want non-touristy, get out of the city center or don't go to the popular locations.

Rebekah Watkins

You don’t have to like oysters to eat the charbroiled ones they have here!

Tony T

Hands down get the Barbeque oysters ... dont skimp out... these are truely the best New Orleans has to offer!

Colin Nelson

Can’t go wrong with the oysters and a sazerac !

Milena Moscoso

Charbroiled oysters are the best you will ever have in your life:)

Valencya Tillman

Nicole F

Chargrilled oysters and lobster mac n' cheese outstanding! Seafood gumbo was yummy too.

Sabrina Wang

the line for waiting could be long, but grabbing a bar seat is first come first serve. definitely worth it. food tastes great!

Steven Smith

Delicious Charbroiled BBQ oysters drenched in garlic butter and crusted parmesan .

Dwayne Spiller

Ask for the grilled parmigiana bread . It’s amazing at the oyster bar .

Richard Revilla

The Lobster is good and pricing is great. Restaurant is in the Hilton great location across the street from Harrah's.

Pam Crum

I had the chargrilled oyster and oysters wrapped in bacon and they were both so small. For a restaurant like Drago's I expected better quality for the price and reputation.

J D

Best charbroiled oysters in the city ! Once you've had them at Drago's, you don't want them from anywhere else.

Colby Smith

Charbroiled oysters were awesome. Place is not cheap though, so if you're on a bit of a budget like me... just go to the bar , get a Turbodog, and a dozen charbroiled. Watch out for bits of shell.

Jim Boswell

Grilled oysters are a must. If you are debating between a lobster or crab salad - go off menu and get a combo. Incredible.

Donis Gil

Chargrilled oysters live up to the hype. Also had the lobster mac & cheese and boneless short rib , One word..Amazing!

Nicole

Grilled oysters are excellent! They pour an honest drink too

Jonathan Flores

Charbroiled oysters is a must just order! Its a oyster version of an escargot ????

J. Childs

Charbroiled Oysters were great!!

Achille Kolla

Great food! Must order the charbroiled oysters and ask for extra bread to dip in the delicious sauce.

Phill MV

Shrimp bisque was good, (shrimp ) étouffée was okay - did not blow my mind, the shrimp po boy was decent. If I had a do over, get 2 dozen charbroiled oyster & the po boy to share.

C Jiles

Excellent Chargrilled Oysters and service! Great price for large 2 3/4lb Lobster dinner ! Yum Deliicious...

JB Stringer

I had the charbroiled oysters & loved them! My friend inhaled the cheesecake ! Unique cheesecake presentation. She said it was the best she ever had.

Karen

Excellent service . Try the grilled shrimp alfredo . YUM.

Jennifer Driggers

The charbroiled oysters are amazing!

Julie McLeod

Grilled oysters are a must! Mixed green salad is a nice "lighter" side with them!

Maureen Soules

Agree! The char grilled oysters are not to be missed. I'll be going back for another meal so I don't have to share!

Renee Miller

The chargrilled oysters were a highlight. The entrees we selected were average (Mixed Grill & a Crayfish Pasta ), and the wait staff , especially Lorenzo, were very attentive!

Shane Bivins

The char-grilled oysters was the reason I went...twice...in 2 days.

Derri Scott

Seafood Pasta ! Shrimp & crabmeat served over linguini topped wit parmesan cheese !

Mick Miller

There are a million tips that say this but I'll support them- best charbroiled oysters in the city , hands down.

Daniel Bastardo Blanco

Try their oysters as appetizers , they are smoky and great!

Tracy B
