I think it was a blackened chicken, It was good. The potato i tasted. like potatoes, nothing to brag about. It was some of the most dry crumbly cornbread I have ever eaten. Someone should teach them to put maybe a little bit of sour cream and cheese in it. My husband had the oysters and the tacos. He likes the drago in new orleans oysters. He didn't care for the one they opened, in lafayette. He said these were somewheres in between the two. That's strange, because I would think franchise have the same taste. Shrimp tacos he said were good. By my rating scale, I can only go by what I ate. They open up for new year's eve.Even though it's a day, they wasn't usually open. They do have a happy hour. The pricing wasn't bad. They do have a buffet. I think it's $68, she said 🤷♀️. The buffet does have lobster, she said. Nobody in my group got the buffet. So I can't really comment on it.

Our waiter was awesome his name is Brandon. I had the seafood buffet but the first order of snow crab was over cooked but the second order was made just right. It was my first time here and I will be eating here on my next visit.

Drago’s – Lake Charles (New Year’s Day 2026 Buffet )
My wife and I visited Drago’s on New Year’s Day and opted for the holiday buffet, which was $49.99 per person (normally $19.99). We appreciated being allowed to view the buffet beforehand. The added items included prime rib, baked ham, chicken breast, salmon, fish, clams, and cold shrimp.
The breakfast items were solid—egg white omelet, bacon, breakfast potatoes, black-eyed peas, cabbage, and salmon were all good. The salad was fine as well.
Unfortunately, the featured holiday items did not meet expectations. The prime rib was served medium-well instead of rare/medium-rare, was not at proper temperature, dry, and very chewy. Steak knives were also not provided, despite prime rib and ham being on the menu, and the server had to “see if she could find one.”
Additionally, while we briefly went to the buffet, our table was completely cleared with no indication that we were finished. Although the staff apologized and resolved it, it added to the overall experience.
Given the price point, the added buffet items and service details did not justify the cost. While some items were good, I would not return for a holiday or specialty buffet at this price. I hope this feedback helps improve future special offerings.

The atmosphere of the restaurant does not match the quality of the food and the service. First of all, we weren't aware of the luxurious and enticing snow crab buffet until we entered the restaurant. Please advertise this throughout the casino.
The music (rap and heavy metal type that better served a young crowd) and the sports dominated tvs did not jive with the beautiful restaurant atmosphere for us older folks who would have preferably been exposed to Christmas music and or a softer tone ( we were there this month, December 2025).
There is also an awesome brunch buffet that is offered but is not advertised.
Would love to see this restaurant flourish.
