Dragos Metry

The oysters are great. Pretty much everything else is like overpriced tourist food.

They are a great family that does a ton for the community, so I still go eat there a few times a year.

Sounds like a typical Drago's experience for the last 2 decades at least.

I only go to the Metairie location, but it's been years since I have been there. When all the suppliers had to deliver in the front door, you could watch Tommy inspect every fish.

I hope it's still great.

pretty much sums it up.

I like their chargrilled oysters. It’s not good for anything else imo

Did these yesterday on the grill and they turned out great

I used the recipe below that came with the oyster shells which is a little different from the one I posted above but very close



I got the oysters from Whole Foods in a tub and they were very fresh. I placed 2 oysters in most of the shells

the ones we've got are loftin ceramic shells

i usually go heavy with the toppings so i end up with quite the flare-ups on the grill from the butter sizzling over

I always put the softened butter mixture in first and then oysters on top. Keeps the overflow to a minimum

the Loftin shells are the only way to go. We did break one but it was my fault (whiskey related)

Dragos Metry has a very good breakfast. I love their oyster omelet and their homemade biscuits are freshly made and delicious. The best I've had. The coffee is good.
