Port of Call

4.5

About this business

This cozy little spot is the place to come when you just need a burger. Its small size is made even smaller by the influx of hungry folks looking for lunch. After 7p when the business crowds disperse the restaurant is not quite as crowded. Locals have announced the hamburgers to be the best in town. They are served with a baked potato if their large size is not enough to fill you. The attentive staff at Port of Call also serves pizzas, filet mignon, rib eye steak and New York strip.

Very nice place. You could have a conversation anywhere in there and the food was great. Delicious burger and potato.

I've been a patron for over 20 years. I've never had a bad experience. Tonight, however, I had the best experience ever here. Not only was our meal excellent, Greta, Jordyn and Holli made our night. What a great team and total assets to the business. Can't wait to do it again soon. Sorry if I mispelled names.

Dear Lord in Heaven, this is the best hamburger I've ever shoveled down my fat neck, and I've had a lot of burgers. In over 30 years of coming to New Orleans this was my first time at Port of Call. I'd always heard it was great, but the majority of my visits were on the west side of the Quarter. Be prepared to wait to be seated and be prepared that it's gonna be crowded, but it is worth the wait! You may want French fries with your burger but you are wrong, completely wrong. The simplistic baked potato is probably the best p... read more

A bit overrated. While our visit in NOLA heard how this place had "the best burgers in New Orleans" and was always packed with long wait time. So we decided to try it. The cheeseburger was a good average burger, but far from the "the best cheeseburger" I have ever had. The meat was not seasoned but I could tell it was handmade. They do have all the condiments to put on the burger and the cheese is shredded which makes it very cheesy. It comes with a baked potato and that was really good, since I could add the toppings I want... read more
