- Annalise CarmackMarch 2, 2016I always get the coronary burger w/ tots & an ice cold Velvet Skull to wash it down with. This will always be my favorite place to get a burger. Beware, it is 21 & up, & they don't budge on that rule.
- Jelan KendrickNovember 14, 2015This place is a must if your in Atl and love artsy locations and vibe of fun from the surrounding people and workers. GET a burger don't get me wrong the menu is packed with goodies but 1st timers 🍔
- Jesse-Emily PritchettOctober 4, 2015Take your pick from the burger menu....everything I've had from the Vortex has been amazing. From the tater tots to the beer/specialty drinks, you won't be bored of the "same ole' burger".
- Come on a Sunday or Tuesday! Stephen is THE BOMB!!! Tip him well and he will be your favorite bar tender. The big ass taco is delish, the cheesy changa is BOMB, and the guacamole burger is the best!!!
- Amy NunnellyAugust 2, 2018Mushroom burger (vegetarian version) was sooo good with horseradish sauce and pepper jack cheese. Awesome beer selection and cool atmosphere
- Tatiana HanFebruary 9, 2015Yeah, this place really lives up to it's standards. The burgers are legit. Still, I'm sensitive to smoke & even though no one was smoking while I was there, the residue is strong, but I expected it.
- Kandice LacyApril 15, 2015The food was great, our waitress was EXCELLENT and the atmosphere was fantastic. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Atlanta!!
- Meghan CarrAugust 10, 2016I absolutely love the food, the people, the atmosphere at the Vortex. The drinks are awesome, especially their crazy list of shots. One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta.
- Kerry KoestnerAugust 10, 2013This place is excellent. Great place to get away from children and be an adult amongst adults. The staff are awesome and the food is tasty. The drink selection is impressive as well.
- They got rid of SO MANY great menu items, including the Yokohama Mama burger, SWEET POTATO FRIES (are you kidding me?), Turkey Burger (for those not wanting a coronary). Seriously?
- Wanna See It AllSeptember 24, 2012Great place, Will be back. Our server: Oz , off the charts awesome. Found my favorite beverage here (Angry Orchard) Cheese Balls App was large. Had the elvis burger, it all work together except the PB
- Des MyersDecember 15, 2012Best food in Little Five Points in regards to all American. They have great mixed drinks. Only place that comes close to rivaling it the brewhouse across the street from corner tavern.
- David LettsMay 24, 2014Everything is gigantic. Even the water cup is probably not going to need a refill. You will have to be rolled out of here with a smile on. ALSO plantains are a solid side choice. Trust.
- Scott R.March 25, 2014The Double Bypass burger is amazing if you're (wo)man enough. Tots are tasty, too. Wash it all down with a Laughing Skull 👍
- Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 7, 2013The original bad-boy of restaurants, here you'll find authentic rock-n-roll décor and one of the best, most consistent burgers in town.
- Gabrielle WilliamsAugust 1, 2016The food was absolutely BOMB! The outlaw and steakhouse burgers are what we had and were off the chain! The fries are much better than the tator tots. Also, the plantains are good. Service sucked tho
- Mosh RahmanOctober 28, 2019Yummy greasy burgers at a very hip dive bar! Come here with a big appetite and no diet restrictions!
- Serious EatsMay 19, 2014You can’t go wrong with any of the burgers, but on the side, the tater tots are perhaps the best in the city.
- Katrina HillMay 22, 2013Best bacon cheeseburger I've had... EVER! Very interesting scenery. Must be 21+ but overall the service was great! I'd definitely go back, especially for the burger!
- ben mAugust 31, 2014Great burgers with a beer list to match. If you are solo grab a seat at the bar and enjoy. Not a place for families, no kids allowed.
- Daniel SullinsNovember 18, 2013Don't forget to read the hilarious rules on the menu. Ages 18 and up are only allowed in, so that's a good thing. Great burger restaurant and interesting people.
- Katy RayJune 15, 2018Great burgers, great beers. The banana bread beer tastes exactly like banana bread, and the Bloody Mary packs a really punch!
- Armon AndersonJuly 25, 2013Cool place! Nice environment and hilarious menus. Burgers were great but the loaded potato salad is TO DIE FOR! Beat potato salad I've ever had in a restaurant
- Rosemarie BrownJanuary 9, 2014To expensive for my taste lol, our original pick was Jacks Pizza and Wings which is like 5 minutes away. Cheap beer, cheap liquor, cheap shots, cheap food (but oh so delicious) !!!!
- Raven LunaticJune 17, 2016The hamburger was great and the service was amazing. The bartender was keeping up with everything even though it was packed. I will be back.

- 360 MediaAugust 17, 2012So many choices on the menu – who knew so many different things could go on a burger? No meal is complete though without starting off with the Tater Tots and cheese dip. YUM! -LC
