Dig in a huge plateful of buttery and flavorful, original Char-grilled Oysters at Drago’s Seafood Restaurant.
Savor the locally popular, rich and well-seasoned rice dish- Gumbo.
Please your senses with the bold flavors of Jambalaya. The traditional casserole is cooked with rice and sausages or juicy shrimps.
Indulge in the comfort food of creamy Rice and Beans traditionally made on Mondays.
Satisfy your hunger with a saucy and well-filled Po’ Boy served between crusty French baguette.
Try the gourmet Italian Muffaletta sandwich with lots of cured meat, olives, dressing, and of course Cheese.
The New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp has nothing to do with grills. They are baked in lots of butter to make them juicy and messy must-try dish.
