Port of Call - Hamburger restaurant in New Orleans - 838 Esplanade Ave, USA

Total dive bar with fun music. Its a snapshot in time, vintage everything with tiny bathrooms that need rehab, the whole place could use a good pressure washing. The service is friendly, but slow. Food took about 20-25 min. to come out. Burgers come with a baked potato, it was kind of heavy. Burger had a good flavor, baked potato was okay, the bacon was out of the box bacon bits instead of real bacon. Overall not bad, might try it again when I can sit outside.

Fun place to get an amazing thick burger hot off the grill. Quirky menu… They specialize in baked potatoes with various toppings as basically their only side dish. Interesting drink menu. The line outside tells you everything you need to know regarding how much the locals love this burger spot.

This place is off the beaten path, a little on the outskirts of the typical French Quarter places. I don't know this for sure, but it also seems like both locals and tourists alike were dining here, which is a good sign to me. The menu is extremely simple, but it works so well! My husband I both did the cheeseburger with loaded potatoes (different toppings for each of us), and some of their amazing specialty drinks. The burger was literally one of the very best burgers I've ever had. Clearly their grill top is seasoned well. This tasted homemade, but like, way better than that. Once I started on my burger, I didn't even put it down - I just finished the entire thing! It was the exact definition of hole-in-the-wall dive bar, and we loved it.

They deliver on burgers and bartender personalities! Sit at the bar and watch all the shenanigans go on. No fries served here just a delicious huge baked potato. The burger comes with all the fixings, pickle , lettuce and tomato. The bun might be made in house, but not sure. Cozy up and stay for awhile. You’ll love the chatter behind the bar.

I'm a local and this is my favorite place in the entire city to have a burger. I don't normally eat beef but when I do, this is my favorite choice. I've traveled all over the US and this is definitely in my top 3 EVER. You got to try it. If you like mushrooms, get them on your burger and on your baked potato. The signature drinks are phenomenal too.

Very busy place on a Sunday evening with excellent burgers and cheeseburgers, baked potatoes, and specialty drinks. Outstanding customer service as well. The Goombay Punch was my favorite drink, which I didn't try them all, but it was great, very tropical and sweet.

The food was very good and a friendly atmosphere, along with fast and great service. My entire family enjoyed their meal and the drinks were sooooo good. Not watered down. We Will most definitely be returning and l recommend it if your ever in the area to stop by and have the Port Of Call experience.

We waited at least 30 minutes to get in. Ordered a steak and it didn’t have any flavor (not even salt), it was perfectly cooked but no salt at all??. Their signature cocktails were also strong 😜 I would come back but I’d mention that I want salt 😅 The baked potato was delicious!! Service was good!!
