the company burger

the smells coming from this place reach down the block. i came here to eat and eat well i did. i got a single patty withcheesebacon and an egg. i ordered regular fries that i later jazzed up with this restaurants assortment of dips from cajun to fancy sauce. i got garlic aioli and fancy sauce (ketchup mixed with mayo). the egg on my burger was cooked perfectly the bacon was still sizzling hot and my patty was well done but not dried out. i will be returning to this place very very soon hell i’ll probably go back tonight and get my same order with a milkshake.

very good spot. we went their two times in two days. the burger is excellent, french fries and onion rings were outstanding. the have crushed ice which is cool. they also have milkshakes, which i'm sure we're good. my only "beef" with this spot are the prices. $15-18 for a burger is out of my comfort zone. i got the bacon grilledcheesethe second time. i would stick to the burger thought. thanks

... after a ridiculously long time of promising them a visit, and hearing nothing but great things about the burgers, it was a local that finally shuttled me to their freret st location. well, shame on me. my own stubbornness had prevented me from trying one of the finest examples of the burger arts i’ve come across in my burger travels. i went for a single, with housemade bread & butter pickles, americancheeseand red onions. the patty gets full points of perfect size ratio, and bonus points for hitting the mark on tender with a great char to the outside. the toughest decision you’re gunna need to make will relate to the sides.  onion rings, fries, sweet potato fries, tater tots or crispy pork rinds. it’s a cruel choice to have to make.

meh. i mean, you have feta for the lamb burger. why not cheddar for the regular burger?

so-so. there's a lot company burger does right. the mayo bar is my favorite thing about the place and the burgers are pretty good. but i can't hit the like button because of their refusal to have othercheesechoices. i just can't get behind american cheese. i used to go here a lot but now if i crave a greasy burger five guys is a lot closer to my house so i just go there. five guys isn't better per say, but although i have to tolerate americancheesethere too, i can also have the burger dressed more to my liking. if company burger had cheddar or swiss alternative and the option of lettuce/tomato/mushrooms then i might consider it the best burger in nola. but with american cheese....i'm still searching for the best burger in town... sorry guys! i really do like what you're doing in so many ways, truly, but i can't eat a burger without cheese...and i really don't see why you won't offer better cheese...and i don't see why you have to be rude about it when i've asked. so i've jumped off the bandwagon.

great burger, great service. i stopped by for the first time today. i had acheeseburger and fries. everything was good and the service was fast.

awesomeness. best burgers in nola. also, they are not known for their grilledcheesebut it is very good. they have very good prices and a very friendly staff. everything about the place is welcoming. highly recommend

awesome! i had a turkey burger & my hubby the doublecheeseburger. we left feeling satisfied & lucky to have find such a delicious burger joint in nola.

nostalgia on a bun. the burger at this place is the quintessential american diner-stylecheeseburger. if you have any fond memories of eating cheeseburgers as a kid (whether made on your stove at home or from a local diner) this is that burger..but better. i would suggest using their tasty condiments and **definitely** order the onion rings.

yumstofferson!. i don't like bread and butter pickles and i was a bit put off by the fact that only americancheeseis offered, but i went ahead and ordered the single burger, as it was intended. it was juicy, not over done, fantastic bun, pickles provided a nice zang. my friend and i grabbed the last seat in the place - at 1:30 on wed. the music was top 40 80's which was a bit odd but sometimes hilarious. freret street has come a long way. bonus: there is ample parking in the lot!

stupendous!. we had the double-stacked company burger fully decked out. it almost melts in your mouth! we also got the onion rings and the (homemade) pimentocheeseand garlic toast. seriously, it was to die for. can't wait to go back. great vibe and friendly staff.
