Port of Call (the old standby) or Yo Mama's ("The best hamburger in New Orleans and possibly the world") for lunch?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Review of Yo Mama's from website:
As a resident of the French Quarter, let me sum this place up quickly: - better food and less wait than Port of Call. I've seen waits over an hour at PofC - more variety than PofC in regards to types of burgers AND chicken sandwiches - Can get loud in there, avoid back booth right by speakers - Wait staff will not tolerate attitude. If you are impatient, go elsewhere. Otherwise, they rock. - Baked potatoes, always "load the bitch up" - Not a family place, try to keep your group at no more than four. - Great variety of tequila! Yum! 

Sounds good to me! 

Well, got to love a joint where you can get a little S&M with your burger! I can see why you wouldn't bring the youngsters along, unless, of course, you care to let them gaze upon the stripper pole, some chains hanging from the ceiling, restraints, cuffs, artwork of women in submissive poses.  We told our bartender/server that we're going to see how the place stacks up against Port of Call.  "Not worried," she responded.  And she shouldn't.  My peanut butter/bacon burger was outstanding (Barry didn't like it, the other two did).  As for the potato, we did indeed "load up the bitch."  Stuffed.  Satisfied.  And we saved an hour of waiting for a seat at the bar at Port of Call.
