Be sure to bring your ID if anyone at your table drinks and vaping is considering smoking here, keep that in mind. Otherwise your salivating for meat in Hell's Kitchen of Heaven on a Bun .

The Double Coronary Bypass Burger is topped with two fried eggs , six slices of American cheese , and eight slices of bacon , served between two grilled cheese sandwiches . Cardiologists love it here. Read more

Jelan Kendrick

This 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 🍔

Annalise Carmack

I 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.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

You can't miss the big skull with psychedelic eyes on Moreland Ave. Walk through the gaping mouth, and you'll find some of the city 's best burgers , excellent chili and even good vegetarian bar fare. Read more

Burgers and beer can’t be beat when you watch the Super Bowl, and Vortex has claimed awards for both “Best Burger in Atlanta” and touts themselves as one of Atlanta’s most comprehensive booze lists. Read more

Jesse-Emily Pritchett

Take 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 ".

Amy Nunnelly

Mushroom burger (vegetarian version) was sooo good with horseradish sauce and pepper jack cheese . Awesome beer selection and cool atmosphere

Kandice Lacy

The food was great, our waitress was EXCELLENT and the atmosphere was fantastic. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Atlanta!!

Meghan Carr

I 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 Koestner

This 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 .

Wanna See It All

Great 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

Ellee Major

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!!!

Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & Associates

The original bad-boy of restaurants , here you'll find authentic rock-n-roll décor and one of the best, most consistent burgers in town .

Tatiana Han

Yeah, 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.

Josh Ritenour

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?

Serious Eats

You can’t go wrong with any of the burgers , but on the side, the tater tots are perhaps the best in the city .

Great 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.

Raven Lunatic

The hamburger was great and the service was amazing. The bartender was keeping up with everything even though it was packed. I will be back.

Scott R.

The Double Bypass burger is amazing if you're (wo)man enough. Tots are tasty, too. Wash it all down with a Laughing Skull 👍

Chris "GoFer" Leach

I have to go here every time I go to Atlanta. Awesome burgers . Great atmosphere. Perfect service and no nonsense menu. I just love it!

Gabrielle Williams

The 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

Katy Ray

Great burgers , great beers . The banana bread beer tastes exactly like banana bread , and the Bloody Mary packs a really punch!

Des Myers

Best 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.

Mosh Rahman

Yummy greasy burgers at a very hip dive bar ! Come here with a big appetite and no diet restrictions!

Rosemarie Brown

To 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) !!!!

Armon Anderson

Cool 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

Mel

The wait can be over an hour so plan ahead and come hungry!

Trayvon Fleary

I've visited all of their locations and you can't go wrong! It may be busy at times but the food is great!

David Letts

Everything 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.

Best 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 !

Gotta love The Vortex!

Big Bad Voo Doo Patty was originally a Fat Tuesday special that was so overwhelmingly delicious, the masses demanded it be added to the regular menu. Viva la revolution!!

Todd Howe

The burgers here are amazing. I'm always looking for excuses to go back. Try a different burger every time. I haven't found a bad one yet

Kristina LaPlant

If you think you can't handle the Triple Coronary Bypass burger go for the single! BTW- the bacon is by far the best part!

Daniel Sullins

Don'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.

Pavan Kulkarni

Very unique devilish ambience. The service is pretty good. Definitely order the cocktails here

Peter Fenn

So many delicious burger selections , and be sure to order a beer ! Best beer list in town . And be nice to your server, or they'll be rude right back!

Brew Lately

Nice craft beer and burger selection along with well executed bar snacks and great service

Lindsay Sheffield

Sweet potato fries ...And everything else. One of the places I miss most from Atlanta. Find memories dining with my sis before unexpected death, too.

Robert Rowe

Think I lost my vision for a moment, the Hell's Fury burger was so hot, but awesome. They have fried plantains !! (dont recommend the two together)

Dave Underwood

If you like heat - try the Hell's Fury Burger . Excellent combination of heat and flavor.

Grilles & Grills Cars & Cooking Series

Divine Burgers with unique flair and the best sides of anywhere! Oh the zuchinni! If only there was a family friendly Vortex. Bastards.

Jon El

Always order tots . Don't forget to order tots . BTW, did you order the tots ? You should.

So 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

The menu changed recently. It seems to have kept the best around (buffalo-jerk wings) and added a lot of different options for sliders, which you can mix & match. The only downside is no more tacos! - Pearl B.
