Louisiana is known for amazing food--and maybe most importantly, seafood. Drago’s Seafood Restaurant has multiple locations around Louisiana, including one in Baton Rouge. Known for their oysters and seafood dishes, here are some must-haves on the famous restaurant's menu. 

Oysters

Drago’s Original Charbroiled Oysters and Raw Oysters On the Half Shells are some of the most popular options on the menu—order by the dozen or half dozen for the perfect pre-meal snack.

Appetizers

If you’re in the mood for more than just a main, Drago's has plenty of appetizers to start you off for the rest of your meal. Their Tuna with Aioli is sushi-grade raw tuna with a wasabi dressing topped with a Cajun aioli.  

Another shareable dish is their Crabmeat Au Gratin Dip. Enjoy crabmeat served gratin style with tortilla chips. If you still want a dip and are not in the mood for seafood (which is weird, because you’re at Drago’s), try their Spinach Dip. 

Drago’s Fried Gator Bites are the perfect appetizer with alligator tail meat fried in season batter and served with a remoulade sauce.

Gumbo 

Drago’s has three absolutely loaded options for gumbo if you’re looking for a classic Louisiana dish. Between Mama Ruth’s Seafood Gumbo, Chicken & Andouille Sausage Gumbo, and Duck & Andouille Gumbo, there is an option for everyone.

Seafood

The Mac Daddy Trio fulfills everyone’s seafood dreams with two filet mignons topped with mushroom sauce, crawfish mac & cheese, and a half Maine lobster tail. All Surf, No Turf has stuffed Mahi topped with au gratin sauce, crawfish mac & cheese, and fried shrimp. 

Besides their platter-style seafood options, Drago’s has multiple seafood pasta options including BBQ Shrimp Pasta, Grilled Shrimp Pasta, and Seafood Pasta. 

Turf

If you’re not looking for seafood (as I said earlier, that’s weird because you’re at Drago’s), the restaurant has many non-surf options. From their Boneless Short Ribs to their Deep Fried Kickin’ Chicken, their land options are endless. 

Drago’s is the perfect option for filling lunch or dinner. Their dishes and ingredients are all high quality, and their menu has many options to fit everyone's cravings. More information can be found on their website here.
