Rat snake in back yard for the win.

Very much the case. Its purely a product of nostalgia.

People would get drunk in the FQ 20-30 years ago as kids and go there. There weren't as many burger options and they are remembering their youth

Place isn't particularly good


I don't know how it is now, but even 20 years ago, The Alibi (on the other side of the Quarter) had a better cheeseburger.

Does nobody remember the viral covid videos when everything was shut down there and all the rats descended upon the streets looking for something to eat when their honeypots were no longer supplying?


I can remember walking a nearly deserted FQ in early Oct 2005...shortly after the city re-opened post-Katrina. The smell of death was everywhere. Primarily sewer rats, I always assumed.

We were walking on Chartres, three blocks upriver from Esplanade and I saw a large dead animal lying in the street. It looked like a friend's very large Maine Coon cat.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was only a rat.

Years ago a friend was the manager at the Tricou House on Bourbon... He said he would routinely have to chase off rats when he opened up in the morning... There is a court yard(?) in the back that is set up for dining. One time they set up the tables with the linen and place settings.. He looked back and there rats on the tables with the fresh linens and settings just as customers were walking in...

You can think Port of Call sucks - but the food is far from small

Those burgers and potatoes are enormous - what do you normally eat?

They absolutely made the burgers smaller. Still big enough for me though. I used to go back in the 90's when I lived in Metry and the burger was bigger and the price was good. The baked potato was and is always awesome. I went a couple years ago when I visited NOLA and the burger was definitely smaller and the prices were way up, but I thought the taste was still there. I enjoy rat burger I guess.

We weren't throwing down poison everywhere. We sealed the whole place up so they couldn't get in. Steel wool cuts their gums so it was great to stretch out as a deterrent

I swear the rats at O’Flaherty’s played volleyball with the potatoes that were in the trash

But with that fountain in the courtyard and the terrible leaky bathrooms, nothing we did kept them away.

My old dancing teacher lived in the quarter and a rat bit her yorkie.

People are clutching their pearls yet leave the fq after 3am where the rats stand in the road and wave goodbye

First exposure I had to FQ rats was at Bayona. Was having a romantic dinner on the patio and saw 3 running around on the bricks. Freaked me out.
