About the restaurant

Add some real spice to your life! Superior Grill has been rated consistently as one of Louisiana’s best Mexican restaurants since 1983 when our first establishment opened in Shreveport. Our New Orleans location opened in 1997 and has become a landmark in fine quality foods with a festive Mexican atmosphere. Superior’s authentic Tex-Mex food is made from scratch every day with only the freshest ingredients. Our tortillas are hand-rolled with care all day long. For added flavor, all of our meats are cooked over a mesquite grill. We are proud of what we make and how we prepare it. Superior Grill is “the place to be” for happy hour, birthdays, office parties, and large groups. In addition to our festive indoor dining room, we offer a memorable outdoor dining experience on our landscaped patio featuring beautiful flowers and one of the best views of St. Charles Avenue. Superior Grill New Orleans is one of four locations including Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and Birmingham.

About the restaurant

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

We enjoyed our first trip to Duman. The salad was the right mix of flavors, and for me most importantly, not overdressed. The greens were still crisp and light. The honey hot pizza was delicious. Not too hot, great crust and lots of yummy cheese and pepperoni. Our server was friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.

The Blue Crab dip was good, lots of crabmeat, but the cream sauce was a little meh. I had the redfish special and it was delicious! Seasoned and cooked perfectly. The asparagus was delicious and the potatoes were cooked well but wish they had some seasoning on them. Hubby had the soft shell crab special/ the crab was fat and fried to perfection, the pasta had a sauce similar to the crab meat dip- so good but not great. They have a nice wine selection that is reasonably priced. For two of us with tip it was almost $200 - so a little pricey for the experience. We will go back.

Though we had a reservation they did not have a regular table for us and sat us at at a high top table close to the hotel entrance. We were conducting a business meeting so it made it feel odd. Outside of that the food was wonderful and the service was acceptable.

About the restaurant

It’s been that way since Drago & Klara Cvitanovich opened our restaurant in 1969. They set out to offer delicious seafood and a good time to guests for a reasonable price. At that time, they couldn’t even imagine how many guests that would become.

Today it’s still a family atmosphere. Klara is still at the front to greet our guests. Tommy Cvitanovich, Drago and Klara’s son, is there to see that things run smoothly.

Thank you for choosing Drago’s Seafood Restaurant at Hilton New Orleans Riverside for your dining experience. We don’t accept reservation, however, walk-ins are always welcome to join us. Hope to see you soon!
