When you’re in the mood for a burger, you want the best burger around. Luckily, there are quite a few restaurants peppered around the Greater New Orleans Area that would love to grill you up a perfectly seasoned, juicy burger. This burger trail takes us all around Jefferson Parish, checking out all the best burger joints in Metairie, Harahan, Gretna, and Westwego. Let’s go!
If you’ve ever eaten at Desi Vega’s steakhouse in New Orleans, you know how incredible it is, so it made sense that they expand to open up a more casual, burger joint over in Harahan. Be sure to grab one of their premium milkshakes to wash your burger down, you won’t regret it.
The chain actually originated in 1926 in Springfield, Ohio and today there’s only 14 left, and one of them is right here in Metairie. Home of the Lot-O-Burger, you’ll quickly fall in love with this colorful, quirky diner.
Address: 810 Clearview Parkway, Metairie, LA, 70001
The burgers at Gretna Depot are some of the best in the area. Hand pressed,1/2 pound burgers piled sky high with all your favorite toppings and served with a heaping pile of hand cut fries… It doesn't get much better than that.
Ground Pat’i is known for their burgers, and this place is an absolute must if you’re on the quest for the perfect burger. The men features several different types of burgers, ranging from Hawaiian Delight to Cajun BBQ. They have three locations nearby, so you’re never too far away from one of these incredible burgers.
Houma Address: 101 Bayou Gardens Boulevard, Houma, LA, 70364
Gretna Address: 11 Westbank Expressway, Gretna, LA, 70053
Metairie Address: 3124 David Drive, Metairie, LA, 70003
Harbor Grill is known for their 12 oz burger, which they claim is the world’s greatest burger and we wouldn’t dare to disagree. If the 12 oz burger is too big for you, don’t worry, they have an 8oz version which is every bit as delicious as it’s big brother.
The Red Maple may be known for their steaks, but the hidden gem on the menu here is the Maple Burger, which will win you over from first bite. The maple cured bacon really sets this burger apart from the rest.
Porch and Patio opened their doors in 2017 and their menu of gourmet burgers and sliders quickly made them a local’s favorite. They also feature over 30 craft beers, which we all know is the perfect accompaniment to a good burger.
For a hearty, charcoal grilled burger, head over to Westbank Grill. Not only is this handmade burger grilled to perfection and mouthwateringly good, but at only $8.00, it feels like a steal.
Address: 812 Westbank Expressway, Westwego, LA 70094
It’s hard to think of burgers without their best friend, the hot dog. For a one of a kind hot dog, you have to head over to Dat Dog, where they’re taking hot dogs to new levels.
