If I had to guess, I would say it had to do with their setup. They've basically built their whole operation around this dish. They have huge high heat grills and a pretty fine tuned process for getting out the dish. Seems mostly an afterthought at other places.

I love the downvoter. Gettin It!

Yeah, that's OK, means someone is paying attention.

I'd agree with that. I have had some other places that were pretty good too though.

Maybe just me but sometimes Dragos has too much smoke.

I thought so too... until I tried them at Cochon. What sets Cochon apart from others in my opinion is the ingredients.

Drago’s uses butter, garlic, salt?, black pepper, 2 kinds of cheese, oregano?, and parsley.

Cochon uses butter, garlic, anchovy, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic chili sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt.

In my opinion, Drago’s comes across as something you could do on your backyard grill. But Cochon’s, though it obviously could also be done on a backyard grill, just tastes like it was prepared by a professional chef.

The ones who keep the cheese to a minimum if adding any at all. Sometimes you get a damn layer of cheese over the oyster and its now stuck to the damn shell. I always tell places to hold the cheese.

As ridiculous as it sounds the best chargrilled oysters I've ever had were in Jackson, MS. Doesn't make sense right? The restaurant Saltine had some that topped the oyster with white bbq sauce and then chargrilled them. They were awesome.

Sometimes I don't want a newly thought out re-imagined version of ______...I want the classic. Charbroiled oysters are one of those times.

It’s a so-so app, that’s at damn near every restaurant, just get the damn chargrilled wherever you end up and go on with life. It’s not a troll.

Katie’s does a mean CO! If you want Drago’s these are equal.
