    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.

    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....

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    You may wait a while for a table, but try the burger - it's worth every minute in line. Plus, who ever heard of serving a burger with a baked potato instead of fries? Surprisingly, it works.
