Drago's opening Jackson, MS restaurant

Redfish said

I had wondered the same thing. Drago's has always been my go to place when flying out of MSY. Been many times for an Abita and Charbroiled Oysters. My son and I actually got to sit next to Drago Cvitanovich and his wife in the bar last August. Although he was hard of hearing it was an entertaining moment and he thanked us for always patronizing his restaurant.

I know why.

Jackson's 39211 zip code as well as Madison and Ridgeland contain a large number of wealthy families. Combine that with an extremely high traffic rate and low real estate values at the new location along with relative close proximity to the gulf coast it could work. There are also very few places to get quality oysters and decent seafood. Among those places Drago's would actually be more affordable if prices are similar to the NOLA locations.

It doesn't hurt that the Hilton in Jackson is the only higher end, big volume hotel in Jackson. It stays booked out and Drago's will basically be in the same parking lot.
