Good eats by the airport?

[dockside]

We will be arriving on May 4 about 6 p.m. and driving to Slidell. Had planned to stop for something at Crabby Jacks but found out it only serves lunch. Does anyone have any recommendations near the airport? I remember reading about one place a couple of years ago that served oysters (hubby won't eat them but I like them). So, in addition to oysters, it would have to have something else on the menu. Thanks.

Very near the airport on Williams is the Harbor-- they have an attached market, this is probably where you heard there were oysters.

If I were you, I'd go to Drago's, right off I-10.

I`d go to Drago`s too. Their charbroiled oysters are to die for.
Harbor is a great place too. They serve wonderful fresh seafood. And it`s right by the airport.

Umm, Drago's is definitely not "right by" the airport. Airport's in Kenner, Drago's is in Metairie, a few blocks off of Causeway Blvd. Approx. 8 miles by road, probably 5 as the crow flies.

Very good food, and OK wine selection. Glassware needs to be "kicked up a notch," since I was last there, but very good. It's just south of Airline Hwy. (US 61) about two, or three traffic signals east of MSY.

Also Calas Bistro at W. Esplanade and Chateau Blvd. Very nice room, great wine program, and delicious La. inspired food, such as different kinds of calas (rice cakes). I particularly like the Fish Meuniere with Shrimp & Pecans, the American Kobe Beef Brisket, and Lemon Ice Box Creme Brulee for dessert.
