Don't try questioning anything at the Vortex or you will get an ill-tempered, mean-spirited rebuke - and this was from the manager! Food is only so-so anyway. So no loss if I never go back. I have only written one other restaurant review in my life (a very good one!), but I felt compelled to write this one. It was the rudest restaurant experience I ever had in Atlanta or anywhere for that matter.

Gotta agree. It is all about the burgers. Mine was perfectly medium to medium rare, the kind of burger that might run juices down to your elbows. There are probably only a couple of places on earth…

The food is great, I mean come on, Tater tots?? What are you trying to do to me?!?! But to me, the biggest downfall is the smoking. I know that it is "technically" a bar, but can't people wait until…

Burgers, burgers, burgers... so many to choose from, and all of them good. You can also have your choice of patty: beef, ostrich, bison, or veggie. Good selection of beers, good service.

great drinks! There food was good also, although not much choice for a vegetarian. Our waitress was hilarious and very friendly. I especially like walking through a big skull to go inside.

Upon the cab driver's recommendation for a great burger, we dined at Vortex before going to a show at The Variety Playhouse in Little Five Points. With so many options of burgers to choose from, even…

The Vortex definitely has the best burgers in Atlanta, not to mention the cool shirts! We eat there every time we're in Atlanta. The area is lots of fun to knock around in, too.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It's fairly cheap, but cheap crap is still crap. Horrible service, dry bar food at its worst, and a management that is AT BEST shady. Yeah, big deal, they have a logo with a skull. It doesn't keep the place...

How this place is rated one of the top eateries in Atlanta is beyond me. As a bar, it's more than serviceable. It has an excellent selection of American beers. And reasonably priced to boot. However, once you...

Enjoyed their hamburger but I made the mistake of bringing children and an adult who was somewhat offended by the decor. I can see how people like it and will go again. I could do without some of the decor but...

Long time favorite.....places come and go but the Vortex maintains its rightful atop burger joints.... big, juicy, mouth-watering, char-grilled patty of the best burger you ever ate.
