HOPE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO IT
By TEDDY, 1/30/07
BACK IN 1999 MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN NEW ORLEANS AND WANTED TO GO SOMEWHERE THAT MANY TOURIST DIDN'T GO TO SO WE ASKED THE CAB DRIVER. HE TOOK US HERE AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS. WE WENT BACK TO NEW ORLEANS A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER AND IT WAS THE FIRST PLACE WE WENT TO EAT. IT IS VERY DELICIOUS AND WELL WORTH EVERY CENT YOU SPEND!!!

Okay, how can I put this? The burgers are great, BUT you can't really enjoy them due to the pest problem. Give me the burgers, keep the roaches and rats. OMG!

Boo. My husband and I ate here after Jazz fest. My husbands burger which tasted great at the time made him very very sick. He ordered his burger medium rare and came with a side affect of vomit.

the most awesome burger on earth!
By hot graphix, 3/1/06
I had to leave New Orleans because of the hurricane,but I will miss these mighty burgers more than anything! Don't eat before you go there. The portion is huge and covered with shredded cheddar and melts in your mouth (if you can even get your mouth around it!) The baked potato is cooked to perfection and is great smothered in even more cheese (I am a definite cheesehead!) The PORT also has one of the best jukebox/cd collections in the city! Last, but not least....forget all those drinks on bourbon street, amble down to the PORT OF CALL and get a Monsoon and it will last you half the night (packed full of rum and fruit!) mmmmnnn and when it runs out...it means you are sober enough to take a walk back for another! ENJOY!!!!!

Beware Tourist - Stay Away from this Nasty Place!
By Paolo Ruffino, 3/20/07
I would not recommend anyone I know to eat at this dirty restaurant. It was most difficult to get over the dirty shoe/rotten milk odor fusion of the place. There are holes/large cracks in the doors making the place very accessible to rodents at night time. The fans and return air registers had an inch of dust and debris on them. Finally me and my co-worker decided to walk out of this place. This place makes me think dirty Bangkok brothel.
