Port of Call
Port of Call Review
People wait for more than an hour outside Port of Call every night, in the heavy heat of July and the downpours of September, for fist-thick burgers made from freshly ground beef, grilled to order and served with baked potatoes (no fries here) that are always perfectly fluffy. For the definitive experience, drink a Monsoon while you wait (Port of Call's mind-bending take on the Hurricane), and order your potato "loaded" (with mushrooms, cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, chives, and bacon bits). A juicy filet mignon is also available. In the afternoon and early evening, it's a fun stop for kids.

pmrichard, from Covington, Louisiana
You MUST make a stop at the awesome local hangout. It's a dive, but the burgers (served with a loaded baked potato - not fries) are the best I've ever had! Try the Neptune's Monsoon to wash it all down! Beware, they only accept cash and American Express.
