Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Baton Rogue

I’m so happy Drago’s relocated to Perkins Rowe—it’s such a treat to be able to walk over on a Friday night! I’ve been going to Drago’s for years, first in Metairie and then downtown at the Hilton Riverside, and this location absolutely holds up. Of course, you have to start with the oysters—nobody does them better. I wasn’t in the mood for anything fancy this time, so I went with a classic: the red beans. They were pretty darn good. Drinks were excellent, and the staff—both waiters and waitresses—were on top of their game. Honestly, some of the best service I’ve had in Baton Rouge. True professionals who made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The only downside for me was the atmosphere. The grey and white walls felt a bit bland, though I did appreciate the Louisiana paintings, which fit the vibe much better. It also seemed surprisingly quiet for a Friday night at 7pm, and the place even felt overstaffed. Prices are on the higher side, but you really do get what you pay for here. In summary: the food and staff were amazing, the atmosphere was just okay. Still, Drago’s continues to be a Louisiana classic and a spot.

Love their chargrilled oysters! Friendly staff. First time trying the shrimp and grits. It was different from any I had before. Food arrived quickly. Drink was really good.

I sat by the bar here for LSU family weekend and Rae and Andrea helped me and were great! Now I came about an hour before closing but my oysters were good and my fish shrimp and grits were 10/10. Whenever I come back to LSU and BR ill be back!

Nothing beats the New Orleans locations but baton rouge in Perkins Rowe was a good move the patio has great sitting Good spot if you coming in town for char -grill oysters staff is always on point can't go wrong

This place was outstanding in every way. My daughter was having a 16th birthday dinner and wanted to have it at Perkins Rowe. It was 16-18 girls. So we visited every restaurant, and most of them, while nice, seemed very detached. One place, the cute taco place in the back, wanted to charge us $25 for bringing our own cake in! Crazy talk! But as soon as we walked into Drago's, we felt welcomed and like they actually wanted our business. Scott, the GM, went above and beyond to accommodate us. On the day of the dinner, the servers really had their stuff together and were all smiles. Just the sweetest people. We had Cat and Emory, and we loved them both. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I really can't say enough good things about the whole experienc,e except thank you for making my girl's day special!

We live in Lafayette but drive down to Baton Rouge, 2 to 3 times a week just to see our favorite server. My husband does chemotherapy in Baton Rouge so every time we are in town we stop by for the chargrilled oysters. Today, our lovely and amazing server Helena recommended the “ fresh catch piccata “ and a strawberry martini to us & oh my was it wonderful!! She knows that menu on the back of her head!! Every time we come, we stop by to see her she is the best, she makes us feel at home. She is so friendly and chatty especially when my husband is not feeling the best after his treatment , and she is also very helping with her co workers and very involved ! We always see her helping the tables that are by her, or asking tables if they are good and need refills. If you are ever in Baton Rouge we recommend!!!!!

The food was delicious took a long time to come out but when it did it was yummy

Very friendly staff, we drove in from San Antonio and got there 1/2 hour before close. We told them we could take the food to go, and they said we would do no such thing. The grilled oysters were delicious, and the steak and fries were seasoned well and cooked right. The alligator tail was good also . The Crab cake was the only thing, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Highly recommended.
