LOVE this place! Our favorite US burger joint , & well worth the wait! We sit at the bar & order a (huge!) cheeseburger , loaded baked potato and a big & boozy Monsoon. Best hole-in-the-wall in NOLA!!

Harold Cade II

Get the Burger and everything on the potatoes butter, sour cream , bacon bits , green onions topped with smothered mushrooms . My wife ordered the steak her first time... it's her regular order now.

Nicole Cheramie

This Marigny/Bywater spot makes burgers so juicy and big you'll want to come with an empty stomach. This lunch & dinner spot usually has a line , but grab a Monsoon cocktail at the bar while you wait.

Travel + Leisure

You get only four choices for the half-pound sandwich : with or without cheese , and with or without mushrooms . In lieu of fries , your accompaniment is a big baked potato . Read more

We used to roll outta there SO full on Port-of-Call Burger , Baked Pot, & Salad . The Ladie's Room has a billion stickers & signatures on every bit of the walls - go Sign In! *great lil place

Ryan Eugene

Widely considered among the best burgers in New Orleans . Nestled between the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street, Port of Call can have guests waiting an hour to eat, but it's always worth the time.

Eric Shangle

I love their burgers and baked potato . It’s a dive, but it’s not to be missed. Everyone who knows me is aware of this place.

Roderick Fulton

Don't worry about the wait to get in have yourself a monsoon and enjoy the scenery outside. Believe me the food is worth it the burgers great and the service is amazing

Gabriel Hayes

Try a Neptune Monsoon to drink. A blend of tropical juices , passion fruit and two kinds of rum . A large pour, so one will do you more than well .

Gabriel Hayes

Great place to grab dinner in Marigny. Might be a wait, but grab a drink to pass the time. Eating at the bar also will help you avoid the line .

Great mushroom cheeseburger with loaded potatoe ! You won't be disappointed. Also we has port of call drink, it's with pineapple ! Yummy. Enjoy!

Gabriel Hayes

Awesome burger and fabulous baked potato . Best burger in New Orleans . Get your baked potato fully loaded.

Kelsey

Cheese burger was delish as well as the baked potato ! Very laid back and a great spot!

Clay Fox

Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. No hyperbole. Fantastic.

Jarrod Klawinsky

Do not miss a chance to eat here. Their cheeseburgers are probably the best in the US. Very small menu and there is usually a decent wait after 6pm.

Magnus Thunderson

what a strange anomaly no bacon or blue cheese and no French fry or onion rings but a baked potato how very bizarre but it works so very well which is why I love this place

Marcelius F.

I'll admit that the burger was good, and certainly a lot of meat for the money. But come on guys, you've hyped this too much. The burgers at Yo Mama's in French Quarter are waay more juicy and tasty.

Jeni Wright

Cheeseburger & baked potato were delicious. Staff were friendly & attentive. One cocktail and you're set... a great spot.

Courtney R.

The burger and fully loaded potato are life-altering. Washing it town with a Monsoon! It's a big drink you can take to go!

Jen S

Affordable drinks (you can taste the alcohol ) and filling burgers and baked potatoes .

Jason 😜Izzy🎶 Sherry

Best burgers in the Quarter! They have good steaks and other things too

ryan vila

Best burger in town but you can't beat the price of a solid rib eye . Eat either. Leave happy. Expect a wait. Keep an eye in the bar . Great place to eat.

Jessica Rooney

Burgers are great - potatoes even better. Prepare to wait in line to get a table.

Epicurious

The beef is fresh-ground daily and hand-formed into burly patties that are char-scarred on the grill. Read more

Candace Williams

It's a half pound burger with a baked potato on the side, it's great!! If you like your burger rare, they'll make one that practically moos.

Meredith Carpenter

amazing - only offers burgers steaks and baked potatoes - one drink gets u drunk- must do for complete New Orleans experience

Teresa Mccallum

Steakhouse/burger joint/divebar.. everything you need in a good low-key spot!

Hadi

Great location, great atmosphere, fabulous service, awesome burgers !

David Azar

burger is very good size and they are well seasoned... potato is a nice twist and there is no other starch option. I recommend ordering the cheese burger with mushrooms and the potato with cheese ....

Bernard Borel

Best burgers in town without a doubt! Be prepared to wait in line but worth it.

Daniel Henry

Get a Neptune's Monsoon - two kinds of rum and a mix of tropical juices in a 20 oz cup . On a lunch break? Get a Windjammer - just half a Monsoon.

Abin

Mushroom cheeseburger is good, all the drinks are great - perfect for hot summer days.

Nancy Warren

The 3 of us had the ribeye steaks ! The were the best steaks , excellent food, excellent service !

Venkatesh Hodavdekar

The drinks are potent and the burgers are great. Perfect combination.

Megan Schmitt

The burgers are good, but that was by far the best baked potato I have ever had.

Jake Ray-Dio

The best damn burger I ever had. Always the first place we visit in NOLA.

Lee Simpson

Forget queuing for a table - watch out for a spot at the bar and grab it. The baked potato is amazing.

Crystal Carpenter

If you want cheese on your baked potato don't pay extra for it, they give you so much on your burger you can use it for both. Food was delish!

Jeanette P

The wait can get long but order a tall drink at the bar and you won't even notice! You get a baked potato on the side of your burger , no fries .

Brittney Williams-Reese

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Pair it with a monsoon, one of the best drinks I've ever had.

Brownstone Living NYC

New Orleans staple for a good burger . They make awesomely strong drinks as well .

Dinner Ninja

I call 'em how I see 'em: Ridiculous wait for what is arguably the best burger in New Orleans . Damn it's good! But is it worth the wait? Close call. Probably, yes.

Mr. Teddy

You can't go wrong with the monsoon!! Specially the passion fruit one!

Dave Sawyer

A monsoon is a good start to a great night (or afternoon) (or morning). Oh yeah, and people seem to like the burgers .

Adam ♔ Gonzalez

I was swatting away flies for most of my meal, and the "chives " on the baked potato were really just green onions , but DAMN was that one juicy burger !

warren pereira

Try the Neptune's Monsoon - The original $10 drink that doesn't take 10 minutes to make. 1/3 through and I'm feeling it. Going to make me want the burger even more

Team Coco

"The burgers here are fantastic. I like to get my cheeseburger with a side of cheeseburger . (It's less embarrassing than ordering two cheeseburgers outright)." - Conan O'Brien

Trevor Hill

Gotta love a place with a simple menu that can back it up. Get the burger . Thick, juicy, delicious. Don't hesitate to load up the potato

Wait outside with your drink of choice, mine = Windjammer, when you finally get a table, order a burger with everything and a baked potato with everything. Then nap.
