Drago's Seafood｜The Best Grilled Oysters in NOLA⁉️

Last month, my family and I visited NOLA, and our first dinner was at the highly recommended original Drago's. Their grilled oysters and lobster pasta are fan favorites — I thought both were tasty, but not exactly "best-ever" level. Both dishes are rich and bold — amazing at first bite but can get heavy later. Best shared with others! Prices are high and portions aren’t huge. If you're planning a trip to NOLA, maybe explore more options 🧐. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) 📍 Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Metairie - The Original 3232 N Arnoult Rd, Metairie, LA 70002, United States 🍽️ What we ordered: ✨ Drago's Original Charbroiled Oysters — Flavor-packed and tasty, but heavy. ✨ Mama Ruth's Seafood Gumbo — Not recommended. ✨ Caesar Side Salad — Skip it. ✨ Blackened Gator Tacos — Alligator meat is chewier than chicken, and these have a kick 🌶️. Not as good as SoCal tacos though. ✨ Boudin Stuffed Shrimp — Pass. ✨ Boneless Short Rib — Just okay, nothing special. ✨ Lobster Marco — Good but not remarkable, and poor value for the price. ✨ Sautéed Crabmeat — Super not worth it 🦀😬. #Travel #NewOrleans #NOLAFood #SeafoodReview #FoodieNotes
