French Restaurant · Central Business District · 329 tips and reviews

Ami D.Ami Dunaway: The perfect blend of beef, brioche bun, delectable caramelized onions, bacon, and emmenthaler swiss, make this burger worth the hefty price tag ($16.50). Almost big enough to share.

Burger Joint · Uptown - Carrollton · 34 tips and reviews

Ami D.Ami Dunaway: By far the best affordable (<$8) burger in all of New Orleans! The topping options are creative (Uptown and Deep South are my favourites), onion rings aren't greasy, and milk shakes were fantastic.

New American Restaurant · Lakeview · 32 tips and reviews

Lee R.Lee Rea: I know it sounds crazy, but when it comes to red meat u can take my word to the bank. Honestly one of the best burgers in town.

8. The Grill

540 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA
Diner · French Quarter · 154 tips and reviews

Ami D.Ami Dunaway: Good diner fare at reasonable prices. Upbeat/energetic staff makes for a tourist crowd pleaser. They pour some kind of butter substance on the patty as it's frying to make the burger even "better."

Burger Joint · French Quarter · 125 tips and reviews

Food & WineFood & Wine: This 24-hour dive griddles its massive burgers under a hubcap (owner Tom Woods believes it helps seal in the juices).

Ami D.Ami Dunaway: I'm not sure what I'm missing here with all the hype. Between the low quality cheese, soggy bun and greasy aftertaste I left disappointed (again).
