drago's seafood restaurant

just great! that's all i have to say!. my lunch wasseafoodperfection. my server dj was knowledgeable and very professional. i had the tuna aioli salad with avocado which was some of the best sushi grade tuna i have had outside of a sushi restaurant, ever. theseafoodgumbo was exceptional, better than any around jackson. the place was buzzing with guests and a great atmosphere. a winner for me!

wonderful place. the bestseafoodplace around jackson. food is amazing, great service. good selection of beer and wine. the charbroiled oysters, the best!!

i had high expectations for dragos as i love new orleans cuisine, but the experience fell flat. we were seated quickly at 6pm on saturday, which was unexpected, but it took a while to get drinks and our order placed. first up was the spinach dip which was large enough for 4 but still not worth $12. the chips where plain colored tortilla chips and the dip was really missing something – probably artichokes – to cut the spinach wang.

next i ordered theseafoodgumbo but got a cheese soup with shrimp. it turned out to beseafoodbisque by mistake (which why waiters that don’t write down orders frustrate me).  so i have no idea what drago’s gumbo tastes like. regardless  $8 is too expensive for such a small cup.

the main course was the fish of the day – redfish. i had it mediterranean and my guest chose stuffed. both were large portions and well prepared. you don’t get to pick your sides but we enjoyed the spinach on the mediterranean and corn on the stuffed version.

my husband & i heard about drago's from my niece who has been there several times. we really wanted to try it and were delighted from the time we set foot in the restaurant. we have been back 4or5 times & have never been disappointed in the service or the food. love the the laid back ambiance of the place. the servers that really stood out were monique & dj. but the others were great also. our new favorite place. note: the fried food needs more seasoning.😀
this was about the sixth time we've been to drago's.
tried to write a separate review and website wouldn't allow it. so we got the shrimp & grits & theseafoodpasta. terribly disappointed in both. you want creamy grits w/your shrimp. these were "scooped" out and plopped in the middle of a shrim conglomeration! ugh. myseafoodpasta had shrimp & supposedly lump crabmeat in a cream sauce. when i mentioned it to our server chelsea, she absolutely put her head down to the bowl & pointed out a micro piece of something! my husband & i were so upset we didn't even finish our meal & that is totally out of character for us! better step it up or your reputation won't save you!

oysters were outstanding as was my wife's catch of the day entree. i was very disappointed with theseafoodpasta due to the use of asian shrimp rather than gulf shrimp. why would a restaurant located three hours from the gulf coast and touting their new orleans cuisine use substandard imported shrimp? if you know anything aboutseafoodyou can tell the difference immediately. foreign shrimp are translucent and lack the firm texture of our domestic shrimp. c'mon drago's, support our shrimpers on the gulf coast, and serve a superior product that is worth your menu price.

good but disappointed. on our 2nd visit my wife and i had lunch ($45.00 before tip) with the oyster lunch special and shrimp linguini and one glass of house wine. the linguini pasta was too salted and the fries on the lunch were very few and cold. we had to ask our waiter twice for lemons and crackers for our lunch. on our 1st lunch we had the house special char broiled oysters, specialseafoodgumbo, and red beans and rice, the charbroiled oysters were dry, over cooked with little sauce, and theseafoodgumbo and red beans and rice not special. constructive suggestion to owners and manager: visit other good restaurants in area and compare. the jackson consumer market can not be compared to the new orleans "big easy" market.

good oysters. well known for their charbroiled oysters and raw oysters. also like the lobster marco. goodseafoodfor jackson, mississippi
