beachcorner bar & grill

a follower of the blog recommended this place to me (thanks t.a.!) and when i walked inside, it was so dark! i just went straight to the counter and ordered my food to go (there was no way i was gonna get any photos in the bar). the bacon and blue cheese frenchfrieswere pretty good. 10 oz bacon cheeseburger this burger is huge! you can't even see the bread on the bottom. i usually boast myself upon my achievements of eating large burgers but i met my match! i couldn't finish this burger in one sitting (sadness!) but even when i reheated the leftovers, it was still delicious.

one of the best burgers in the city. yeah, so it's a bar. big deal. the food more than makes up for that atmosphere if it's not your thing. these guys do them right, very generous portions, excellent quality meat in the burger. the bacon blue cheesefrieswere so good, practically hurt myself eating them. tons of blue cheese and bacon. dreamed about those and the jalapeno burger for days afterward.

best burger so far!. my first time trying beachcorner, i was a little worried about how the service would be after reading the reviews. but during my visit, everyone was friendly. the lady who took my order was nice, and the cook was sure to tell us bye when we left. and my burger was delicious. big, juicy, and well-seasoned. what sets it apart from port of call and lakeview harbor for me is the yummy garlicky flavor. they also used tender, high-quality beef. thefriesand onion rings were fine, but nothing extraordinary. now, if only i could combine beachcorner's burger with port of call's baked potato, the world would be a perfect place!

best burger in nola. i've written something like 500 reviews in nola. i can confidently say i enjoyed my burger here best.

i'll qualify -- i'm not a burger fan and dont often get them. also its not kobe beef or some upgraded meat. yet the spicy burger was enormous (10 oz.), with perfect, fresh dressing (tomatoes, onions, lettuce), the meat was moist (even though i had mine med well) and very zesty. mine came with jalapenos and pepper jack and was just $6! my friend's hickory burger was also perfect. much better than port of call or snug harbor, in my humble opinion.

the bacon and bleufrieswere thick, well done, huge portions and generous topping. for $5 they were great.

the hidden cost was the iced teas/sodas -- $4 each was steep.

atmosphere was not as interesting nor as gritty as i expected.

overall, a new favorite. jan. 10.
