50 Best Burger Restaurants in New Orleans

“My family and I absolutely love this place. We go to the Elmwood location most of the time! The staff is always friendly and helpful! Our only issue is we never know what to choose from because it’s all so good! Thank you District Donuts for always keeping your standards high and food fresh!“

“HAD A GREAT TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOOD FOOD GREAT DRINKS!! GET YA SOME....“

“Bub’s served up some of the best smash burgers anywhere, accompanied by the best fries and onion rings. Add to that a refreshing selection of bottled beverages and welcoming staff (shout out to Erin at the Banks Street location!) and Bub’s is one of our go-to restaurants in NOLA!“

“Happy to say I got slapped this week…“

“Pleasant surprise. Came here with my family on the way to saints game. Ordered wings, burger and Brussel sprouts. Sprouts were the best I have ever had. Burger was very tasty and balanced flavors. Rachel was bartending and went above and beyond to take care of us. I am picky and I would pick this place as one of our favorite NOLA suprises.“

“We truly enjoyed the crawfish Creole beignets!!“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere.“

“Recommend for late night meal. Really good under the radar spot.“

“When I saw $21.95 for a 20oz ribeye I kinda chuckled in my head and expected a Waffle House type steak. I asked the waitress if it was good and she simply said “yeah, it’s good”. What transpired a few minutes later made me contemplate everything I thought I knew about a good ribeye. This thing was melt in your mouth, perfectly cooked, and had an absolutely astonishing flavor. Kick the price out the door. I live almost 4 hours away and would pay $80 for that steak as I type. It was so good I went back for another the next night. Gladly passing up all the other opportunities that NOLA has to offer. Weirdly the same people who we sat next to the night before were at the table next to us ordering the steak again. Astonishing what you get for the price. I could make a whole separate rant about how good the potato skins and gumbo are as well. Great job!!!! Best experience of our whole trip.“

“Blown away by the Shroom sandwich and the Dubai Shake!“

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

“Great Tasting Food! And Great For Body 💯“

“I went to dinner with my wife. Large place and clean. Food was on point. Large portions. Service was great. Manager welcome everyone at the door. I had the thin catfish and my wife had the gumbo. Will come back next time in town. Thanks NOLA.“

“Holy moly……..what a place👍 Great food, great drink, great atmosphere and an even greater host. Visit…..you will not be disappointed.“

“Staff were super friendly. Great vibes. The Walls are covered with rock memorabilia. So much interesting stuff to see. The beers on tap are good. And the cocktails are even better. Gift shop a little smaller compared to others ive been to. But I still spent over $100 in the gift shop 😅“

“Great service, and the tater tots and shakes were fantastic! The burger was definitely on the saltier side, though not enough to stop me from finishing it. Had the seasoning on the burger been dialed back a bit, this would easily be a 5-star review. Still well worth a visit!“

“The fish plates are the best. I go every Friday ❤“

“Delicious food. The entire menu“

“Great selection of some of the finest bourbons made! The staff were great the food was excellent. We had the smoked tuna dip and we split a brisket sandwich! Highly recommend both!“

“Absolute gem. I had what was easily the best breakfast bowl I've ever had in my life. So good. Hash browns, poached eggs, sausage, peppers, cheese. And I added in some of their pepper gravy as a bonus. These cooks know what they're doing. Every component cooked to perfection. I can't rave enough about Drift Inn, but I know I'll definitely be back.“

“One of the best poboys I have ever tasted.“

“Great place for dinner. We had 90 people and still fast service“

“Creative food items with delicious lunch and dinner specials. Great cocktails 🍹and friendly service!“

“The bar staff were absolutely phenomenal. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was exceptional. We will definitely be back!“

“I've eaten here before and the food is to be as expected. It's chicken, fish and fried rice. Simple food, so you know what you're getting. I have no problem coming back again and again. What I do have a problem with is that you can't make a phone order. So, if I wanted 1000 pieces, I'd have to wait for them to fry 1k wings? That would dang near take over an hour of wait time to fry that instead of letting me pay for it over the phone and just picking it up at a stated time.“

“I had a beautiful time with my family food was excellent and I will be visiting again Thank you were kind regards“

“great food quick service filling“

“Vegetarian friendly and great environment!“

“I’ve been visiting Deanie’s since the 90’s and have never had a bad meal. The crawfish bisque with stuffed crawfish, and the fried crab balls are wonderful.“

“I went to dinner with my wife. Large place and clean. Food was on point. Large portions. Service was great. Manager welcome everyone at the door. I had the thin catfish and my wife had the gumbo. Will come back next time in town. Thanks NOLA.“

“We enjoyed lunch here on Mother’s Day with the stepdaughter and daughter-in-law. Our burgers were delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the music was great also. Will definitely go back.“

“Today is my son's 13th birthday and he's been a hothead/heat seeker for as long as I can remember. For perspective, he finally convinced Santa after 2 years to gift him the One Chip Challenge when he was 7. Today, his special request was to eat the hottest wings we could find, so my hubby found this place online last night. It's a short drive from Metairie, so although he wanted to do the Bayou Beast Challenge, we only had time to get a to-go order with all the other birthday errands we were running. We got a 6 piece of the Bayou Beast flavored wings. The gentleman checking us out was an absolute stand up guy who was equal parts concerned and impressed when he realized the order wasn't for me, but for the short kid standing next to me who told him he didn't want or need a dipping sauce. He even offered him a birthday coke (probably as a piece offering to the gods as an apology for what was going to transpire in my bathroom later🤣). Now to the fun part. I normally do these challenges with him, but today he wanted to fly solo. So I prepped the counter for him as usual with milk, yogurt, wipes etc. When I opened the box? YALL! The smell burned my eyes and instantly gave me PTSD from when I ate Da Bomb wing in the Hot Wings Challenge last year. My newly minted teenager the proceeded to smash all 6 in 5 minutes and did it like a pro without even a sip of water. I managed to get a single bite before they disappeared and I can guarantee you, the bathroom will be your sanctuary. I would not survive more than 2 as a grown adult. Maybe he's a glutton for punishment. Maybe he's a mutant. But what I do know is my dude is determined to beat that challenge and get that shirt and picture on the wall, so we'll be back very soon!“

“The food was delicious. I had the salmon pasta. It was perfect creamy, savory and cheesey. The salmon was seasoned to perfection and grilled just right. The atmosphere is a vibe with the bar and music made every just right. I went during happy hour so the drinks were buy one get one before 8. I had the frozen margaritas it was perfection.

I have eaten at hut 35 before and I had the lemon pepper chicken with fries and the boudin balls. Each time the food was hot and fresh. I can't wait to go back for more.

Best time to go
The weekends are a vibe
But Thursdays before 8 is a chill zone“

“Oh my goodness everything was amazing loaded with seafood in every bite I was in restaurant depo and started a conversation with a sweet lady asking her was the brand of shrimp she had in her basket a really good brand and she was kid enough to saying yes and she was telling me about their stuffed shrimp from there we headed to the location and it’s top tier fa me will stop by again!!!“

“Went here my first time in college 1977, age 22, walk in a girl grabbed my hand and had me dance with her. I was fairly awkward young guy, so this really boosted my confidence . It was such a memorable experience. I just remember having some beers and eating some delicious chicken wings and always coming here on a regular basis. I’m 69 years old. I will never forget this place. I hope it stays here forever.“

“HUGE portions!! Like the double burger was so big I almost couldn’t bit it! Giant pile of o ion rings that were beer-battered and perfectly crispy
Everything was delicious and the price was great, under $20 for a double bacon cheeseburger and onion rings!

Staff was super friendly and the food came out in about 6 mins
They offer a vegetarian burger and have lots of tasty veg sides too, so something for everybody“

“Great vibes friendly and loving staff and the owner is outstanding“

“We had the smokehouse burger and the one that had potato chips on it. Both were very good. The French fries were pretty good too. The onion rings were amazing. It was a little pricey But considering it's located in a casino that's to be expected. We would definitely return.“

“a most excellent selection of wholesome food, drafts, wines, and cocktails.“

“If you love sliders and onion burgers this is the place for you!!! I can't pass a Krystal without getting a steamer box to take home and freeze. This one in NOLA is on a side street around the quarter. Enjoy some baby burgers and dogs!!!“

“Went for 1st time to new location by City Park. Food as great as ever! Nice atmosphere and friendly servers. I’ll never stop loving it!“

“Kayla here with a review you can trust. Follow my page ? @kaykreatesbeautyartist Nola Esthetician
Food was excellent, tasty and hot, 5/5 . I had an oyster on bun dressed combo. Paid $13 I think. Service was 4/5 . Not bad but not really any customer service at all, not rude but definitely not the nicest lol. Ok so the place itself just needs a nice lil update.“

“his food is always good and hot and ready“

“Best poboys in town lovely owners“

“An unforgettable dining experience. We tried one of the new menu items, the “Tuna Toast”, and it completely exceeded our expectations. Every bite was incredibly fresh, beautifully balanced, and so delicious it honestly reminded me of Ratatouille—food that truly transports you. Chef Jazz Williams was kind enough to come out and I had the pleasure of thanking her personally; her talent and passion shine through every detail. We were visiting from New Orleans and this was one of the highlights of our trip. I only wish Vitascope Hall were closer to home so we could come back often. Highly recommend.10/10 hand down 🙌🏼“

“Was home in 2020 for vacation from from Tennessee where I am living nowadays. Knowing a lot about the bar and restaurant industry before I retired. Was taken here by cousin to celebrate my birthday. The staff, food, drinks and atmosphere was A-1.“

“I live in metairie and make a special trip to this bk because, the service and food are much better than the Oaklawn location. You don't have disgruntled employees mumbling derogatory things as they make your food here like the Oakland location as if they are doing you a favor pleaseeee...nice job a elysian fields yall are appreciated thank you 🙏“

“Alberto is very informative he helped us find good spots to eat and places to check out. He also made the best hurricanes we’ve had in New Orleans so go check it out all his drinks are amazing if you want a good drink and a strong one go check out Alberto!“

“Even if you aren’t a golfer, the environment is very neat and comfortable. Food is always on point!“
