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…“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere.“

“The chicken is SOOOO SALTY. It was so overpowering I couldn't finish the salad. Everyone else enjoyed their food and the cocktails were really good! The bartender made some mean espresso martinis and I enjoyed the freshness of the cucumber in the cucumber mule :)“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

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

“We truly enjoyed the crawfish Creole beignets!!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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.“

“Best Burger I've had in a long time, you know that mouth watery feeling when you take bite and all the flavor hits your tongue and you just lean your head back and go ummmm, thats what that burger did to me and i just got an original single add bacon and was delicious. When i travel i like to find the best burger joint in town and I think i found my favorite! I'm from way outta state in Columbia, Missouri, but I'll buy a Burger from them everytime I come to New Orleans from now on!“

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

“Great Tasting Food! And Great For Body 💯“

“Delicious food. The entire menu“

“If you’re visiting Hard Rock Cafe on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, do yourself a favor and ask for Emmanuel. In a city known for great food, music, and hospitality, Emmanuel truly stands out. From the moment we sat down, he provided exceptional service with a humble attitude, genuine kindness, and a level of professionalism that made our experience memorable.

What impressed me most wasn’t just his attention to detail, it was the way he treated every guest with respect and authenticity. He anticipated our needs, made excellent recommendations, and ensured we felt welcomed throughout our visit.

In a world where great customer service can sometimes be hard to find, Emmanuel is a reminder that one person can completely elevate an experience. His positive energy and servant-hearted approach embody the spirit of New Orleans hospitality.

Hard Rock Cafe is fortunate to have him on their team. Thank you, Emmanuel, for making our visit special sir. We will definitely be back!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Vegetarian friendly and great environment!“

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

“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.“

“I’m a terrible planner so I had no idea where to eat dinner, and I trusted my gut when I walked by. The lunch counter burger was amazing- but the SAUCE! I dipped my fries in it even! It was so good. Finished my burger off with the Kitten Highball, and highly recommend it. It hit the spot after an 11 hour drive from hades. The staff were so laid back and I really enjoyed hearing their enthusiasm while discussing new ideas and flavors. And hearing their staff communicate and work as a team showed a level of care for their job too many lack. There was a regular there that just added to the conversation and atmosphere in the best way. The decor was on point with a splash of unique and “I need to know the story behind that”. I can’t complain. Even if you paid me. If I lived here it’d be a regular joint for me. Alcohol, ice cream, good food, good vibes and good music? Every box checked and then some.“

“great food quick service filling“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“his food is always good and hot and ready“

“I’ve only ever had a white castle, but I’ve always heard about this place and I always wanted to see what it was like and I just doubled across it in the French Quarter and it did not disappoint. Honestly I think the burgers were about on par with white castles, slightly different but not better not worse. But I also had one of their chili dogs and that was fantastic. I really liked that. I would definitely get go back for that if nothing else.“

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

“People are complaining about the stupidest things for low rating, like parking availability, etc. I think the restaurant should be evaluated on the food quality, staff, wait time, etc. Wait time was reasonable. Staff were friendly. I really enjoyed the burgers we got. I thought they tasted great and would be happy to go back here again. Onion rings were fantastic as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! During our 5-day stay in New Orleans, we visited most of the city’s most popular restaurants, but surprisingly, the best food we had was right here at the Hyatt Regency restaurant. The shrimp, gumbo, oysters, and sushi were all delicious and top-notch.

Manager Arina and Kaleb made our evening truly special — warm, attentive, and full of great energy. Next time I’m in New Orleans, this will be the first place I come back to for an incredible meal.“

“I really enjoy Rally's food because their food is good and with the price of it makes it even better there's only a slight downside and that is the atmosphere and that's just where it's located at this location there's a lot of homeless people that are asking for money“

“Omg I love this Bk I never had any problems out of them. my food is always hot and on time it's always clean in side &out and the team workers and Managers are very respectful!“

“The burger king on Franklin and Claiborne in new orleans is the best and the only one we will go to. So friendly and fast. If all the burger kings were like this, they would never have to shut down . Other fast food places should have to come here for training.“
