Louisiana is famous for its food, no doubt about it. When people think of the Bayou State, they usually picture rich bowls of gumbo, spicy jambalaya, and creamy crawfish étouffée—and for good reason! But let’s not forget, Louisiana knows how to do burgers right, too. With our love for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and hearty portions, it’s no surprise that some of the best burgers in the country can be found right here.

Great burger spots come in all forms. A tiny hole-in-the-wall can serve up a legendary cheeseburger, a high-end restaurant can put a gourmet twist on the classic, and even a fast-food joint can dish out something quick and delicious. LoveFood recently ranked some of the best burger joints in America and a popular Louisiana staple made the list!

Louisiana Restaurant Now Named One Of America's Best Burger Joints

LoveFood has named Port of Call in New Orleans as the best burger joint in Louisiana! Here's what they had to say...

"Zagat, CitySearch, and Gambit Weekly have all awarded Port of Call a ‘best burger in New Orleans’ accolade over the years. The joint has been a fixture in the French Quarter since 1963 and remains a go-to spot for locals and visitors. Holed up in a traditional Louisiana building, the restaurant delivers a New Orleans take on the classic burger. Freshly ground, it's accompanied not by fries, but by a baked potato. Chives and bacon bits come free of charge."

Port of Call has been serving up mouthwatering burgers in the heart of the French Quarter for over 60 years.
