Editorial Review for Port of Call – by Jason McCann
The Scene
Everything is wood--wood paneling, wood chairs, wood tables. A thick rope net covers the low ceiling and paintings of schooners and ships line the walls. A rustic seating area glows with the light of a metal ship illuminated by small, white Christmas lights. A friendly din rises from the mix of locals and tourists as everyone talks to everyone. Head through the dark space to the back for a more "formal" seating area with tables topped in red cloth.
The Food
The menu is short and sweet: hamburgers, pizza and steak. The place is known for its hamburger and baked potato dinner. The half pound of fresh ground is like a backyard barbecue burger, thick with pickles, lettuce and a quarter-inch slab of onion on the side. Cheeseburgers come piled high with a heap of shredded cheddar. Wash it all down with a horseradish-infused bloody mary or signature tropical cocktail.

This place is a must everytime we are in the city. There is a terrible wait that is well worth it! The burgers will leave you craving more for weeks and the Monsoon, well all I can say is you only need one and it is delish!
Pros: Great Food
Cons: Looooong wait and no benches to rest your weary feet

Good place for a date. May have to wait 15-20 minutes or pull up to the bar. Burgers have gotten smaller but they still are filling alongside salad or potato, but don't look for french fries. Enough juice w/ burgers to compensate for greasy fries.
Pros: Good tasty food. Ambiance.
Cons: No parking. Sometimes smokey
