Best

Port of Call is a New Orleans gem, a real, honest-to-goodness JOINT that does not pretend to be anything but a dive (New Orleans-speak for ""Casual Restaurant-Bar for the Locals""...

Worst

good, not exceptional, meat between a bun, service average, average burger

Good Burgers but.. 9/13/2002

i love the Burgers here - but it is in a pretty dodgy area - especially at night. The drinks are gigantic and pretty ridiculous - besides what goes better with a burger than a beer? more

Heavenly Hamburgers! Port Of Call had the best hamburgers, bar none. THey are so humongous, and each bite is filled with great flavor. The baked potato can be served with a great combination of toppins, and they are also huge and delicious. They also have a Mufaletta Pizza which is soooo good, eith olive salad as a topping! You'll have to try one to understand. And top it off with a monsoon.....YUMMMMM.....can't be beat! Pros: inexpensive, easy to walk to, great service more

Simply the BEST! 8/14/2002

No ifs, ands or buts, Port of Call (or ""poc"", as we lovingly call it) is the absolute best for burgers. Even if patrons waiting to be seated are spilling out onto Esplanade, it's worth the wait. Always consistent, you will get the best burger and loaded baked potato in town. Pros: value, great food Cons: sometimes crowded more
