Where We Are Going Today: ‘88 Port' burger in Al-Khobar
88 Port in Alkhobar is one of those places where visuals and flavors match — bold, indulgent, and a little over the top in the best way. From the red burger buns to the sauce-dripping stacks, the menu doesn't hold back. My favorite item hands down was the truffle burger; juicy angus beef, crispy onion rings, double cheddar, and a rich truffle sauce that takes it to another level. Every bite was exactly what I hoped for. On the side, the buffalo shrimp were spicy, saucy, and fun to eat, especially paired with the ranch dip. The brisket balls were another hit, crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. I also really enjoyed the 88 Port salad, which felt fresh, crunchy, and perfectly dressed; a nice balance to all the richness. Now for dessert, the chocolate brownie cake was hot, gooey, and topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle — the perfect ending. The brisket fries were a letdown, a little too oily and overloaded with toppings. A crispier base might have made a big difference. For more information, check out their Instagram @88port.
