the company burger

griddle burger. not a good burger. same burger can be had at lee's hamburgers for a much better price. sure it's trendy and cool looking but the food is bad! no amount of facial piercings and tattoos can make up for that. i'm sure you can go there and pretend it's good cause for the price you are going to pay for a meal, you want it to be good but it's just not. i'm sorry. much better places to eat, don't waste your time.

if you're not really ino burgers, you might like this place. i'm pretty sure this place is meant to be a prank and not a real restaurant. i imagine the conversation between the owner and his nerdy, sycophantic consultant went something like this:

owner: i want to get into da restaurant business.

sycophant: yes, sir. a fabulous idea for a rich, evil genius like yourself even though you don't know anything about food. what will you serve? the finest langoustine in new orleans perhaps? or all manner of foie gras- seared, terrine with truffles, au torchon?!

owner: no. burgers.

sycophant: burgers?

owner: yeah. fast food burgers.

sycophant: um, so you mean you'll do fast food-style burgers, right? but with nice buns?

owner: oh yeah. the buns'll be pretty good.

sycophant: and fresh onions and yummy pickles?!

owner: uh-huh. gonna make my own pickles with the recipe i just bought on the lower east side offa some shoah survivors.

sycophant: ...sitting atop a thick, juicy, mid-rare burger patty generously seasoned with sea salt and fresh-ground pepper??!!!

owner: nope. that's the twist! imma take thin little unseasoned patties that are too lean for anyone to sensibly use for a burger, and we're gonna cook the eff outta dem til they're dry, tasteless, mealy pieces of meat indistinguishable from dog food!

sycophant: but, sir...what if when you ask someone how they want their burger cooked, and they actually like good burgers so they say they want it medium rare?

owner: not even gonna ask em. just take the order, get the money, and grill the living hell outta dem.

sycophant: and if they want cheese?

owner: oh they can have their cheese. but i'm only going to offer one kind.

sycophant: gruyere? emmenthaler? manchego?...

owner. american! good old american cheese. none-a-dat pinko crap.

sycophant: so you're going to spend over a hundred thousand dollars to create a chic restaurant in an up and coming part of town, and serve people a $9 version of a mickey d's burger?

owner: more like wendy's. nobody will be expecting it. i'll film them and edit their confused reactions into a youtube video. and i'll include a blooper reel of idiots who pretend to know what they're talking about saying the burger is delish. it'll be one of those viral things.

sycophant: the video or the burgers? ha! brilliant, sir- i'll get right on it.

amazingly yum!

i had the single and it was great full of flavor and you could tell it was fresh ground

good, but overpriced. went there today for lunch and it was good but expensive. a friend and i shared the company burger with nueske's bacon, fries, onion rings and drinks for 20 dollars. i found the side portions and the the patty size to be on the small side (guess that's why they don't take temperature on their burgers). fries are hand cut and good but the onion rings are a little too thin for me. i would put company burger in the top 5 or 6 best burgers in the city but port of call is still at the top.

so amazing. i literally cannot fathom the reviews that say tru burger or port o call are better. would i eat at those places? sure. a better burger? no friggin way. none. the company burger has the best burger i have ever eaten in my life, consistently. what is the issue, do people prefer a giant patty that then doesn't get cooked properly in the middle?

eat this burger. you'll never look back.

basil mayo goodness. really good burger. i ordered the single with bacon. perfectly cooked. bun was soft, but not soggy. sweet potato fries were piping hot and nice and crispy, but not burnt. the basil mayo...ooooh i think i am in love! chipotle mayo was great as well. i think every restaurant needs a condiment bar. although there was a line, service was very fast and friendly. husband was equally as happy with his food (we ordered the same thing)

best in town. i am very picky and i have to say this place is great!! best ever...i will go be going back!!

awesome...awesome...awesome...a warm bun, juicy patty, season egg, delightful bacon! loved the mayo!! onion ring crazy good! i seem someones comment about lettuces and tomatoes plz dont do it! these burgers are awesome without!!!!!!

"awesome burgers, even for someone that is not a burger person". our family went for sunday lunch. busy, but they are very efficient and could tell they were working hard to het orders out fast (you see everything they are doing at an open grill, prep area). we had single hamburger and the turkey burger. they were both amazing, and i don't really even like burgers that much. the mayo choices were great --all homemade, such as bacon-naise, basil mayo etc. we had both regular and sweetpotato fries, which are handcut-- yummy. will definitely go back. great place. drinks were only ok (canned soda and not the best tea ever), but the burgers made up for it.

fantastic burgers. i was very impressed with the company burger. the burger itself was perfectly cooked and their buns, wherever they get them from, take the burger to a higher level. the condiments -basil mayo, chipotle mayo, et al- are fresh and well thought out. it is nice to have condiments outside of the heinz ketchup and yellow mustard sphere. juicy. on our way out the chef stopped us to ask what we thought. if i lived close by i would eat here all the time, at least once a week.

yum. i went one saturday for lunch with my boyfriend and a friend. there is plenty of parking. you order at the counter. i got the single burger and they got company burgers (doubles). there is a condiment corner where you can stock up on different types of mayo / mustard while waiting. i tried the basil mayo and garlic mayo and went with the garlic. the burgers were ready quickly. they were juicy and delicious. the buttered bun was soft and wonderful. we will definitely go back when we are in the mood for a burger. this is one of the best if not the best burger i have had in new orleans. the chef / owner was also very nice. he hands out the orders and thanks every customer for coming in.

r u f'in kidding me? wait 30 minutes and pay $9.60 for a dry double that i paid for fixing that were not on there. if it was just about the burger i would be upset with paying $10 for that quality (i'm assuming i went on a day with a bad cook and crappy grind)... but with the experience added on i left irate.

great burger!. excellent, quality burger (i got the company burger a double cheeseburger, and added bacon). the fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings were very good. i saw someone with a special sauce on their fries and i would have ordered that had i known it was an option. i wish that they had larger glasses for drinks and fountain drinks. it was a pain to keep getting up for drinks. otherwise, the place was phenomenal and the staff was incredibly friendly. absolutely spotless in there which is a huge plus.

outstanding burgers, great seasoning and excellent condiments. the fried pickles rock! only thing, lunch for 2 was $31 before tip. ouch. still, we'll be back.
