I'd add Swamp Room.
Swamp Room is to Beachcorner, as Port of Call is to Snug Harbor and/or Lakeview Harbor.
All are good burgers, and would have easily made any top 10 area list 5 years ago. Now, I can see arguments for leaving some or all off.

Port Of Call, along with Mothers, are two very fine places that New Orleans natives love to hate, presumably because "the tourists" have found out about them.
Mothers has mailed it in for thebetter part of the past decade, unless Travel or Food Networks sends one of their show hosts there

BooKoo should be top 5 on that list IMO
I just had the BooKoo burger for lunch and really enjoyed it. Of all the times I've eaten at BooKoo/Finn's I've never been able to pull myself away from the pork, brisket, or nachos. Glad I finally tried it.

Lee's Hamburgers are the most historic burgers in New Orleans and are an example of hamburgers, thanks to German immigrants of the mid to late 19th century, predating roast beef po-boys in New Orleans. The original, opened near Canal Place in 1901, was the brainchild of Lester Hash. I am unsure if Lester Earl is aware of this connection, but as you probably deduced, he went by the name Lee. Most of the older NOLA Food Board posters won't remember the original location because a few years after it opened it moved to a spot near The Roosevelt Hotel. A half a century after its opening, as national burger chains spread through the city, Lee allowed a friend of his to open Lee's #2 in Mid-City, across from the now abandoned Schweggmann's on Broad, and the chain we know as Lee's was begun.
I do not like Lee's burgers, but Lee's is one of the true institutions of the New Orleans hamburger.

In that light you would have to mention Bud's Broiler..
Many people like this place and they make a decent burger, if only they used a better quality meat.

Lee's is pretty inconsistent. I get a different Burger at each one ive been too. The one on Veterans next to Petco is the best. It wouldn't make my top 10 though. Their onion rings are good though.
The Lees on Metairie Road is horrible.

What about the Red Eye Grill in the warehouse district? I haven't had their burger since Katrina, but it used to be off the charts good. Not fancy, but great meat and flame grilled. Probably as close to "homestyle" as you could get in a restaurant. Anyone have one recently?

From the OP, which, IMO, is worth a read:
quote:
By the 1950s, many local establishments had seen the success of the national burger and went about starting their own burger joints. Of most historical significance was Bud's Broiler, which opened in 1952 in a working class Mid-City neighborhood. The burgers reflected the clientele: gritty, salt of the earth, and tough. It provided the energy that kept the city going. Even still, the burger played second fiddle to the poboy throughout these years, and really, up until the decline of the post-Katrina po-boy renaissance.
