So many reasons to go to the Vortex... one of the best and most consistent burgers in Atlanta , awesome sweet potato fries , unique atmosphere and the Laughing Skull Lounge ! My wife and I love it!

Isaac D.

When I first came here years ago the service was horrible. I came here today an I have new found respect for the place. Food was good and service was excellent. Try the triple or double coronary lol.

Joey Tripp

You must get a burger from here! Choose a burger from the many offerings. Also, don't forget to get a nice glass of beer or cider to wash that juicy burger down. I recommend the plantanes as a side.

Oakland Cemetery

Crave from the Grave: Like it spicy ? The "Hell Burger " is topped w/ habanero relish , jalapenos , & pepperjack cheese . I'm sweatin' just thinking about it! Give the tots a try for your side item too.

Unique L

The BBQ Bacon Mac N’ Cheese Burger is delicious!!! I get it every time. The loaded potato salad is good too for a side.

Virginie Liao

awesome 'shroom burger and plantains side! yes, i said plantains ! ..the black velvet ale was so-so, good for ppl who rly like their ale flavorly sweetened

Chia

The burgers . Get the burgers . Doesn't matter which one (I'm partial to the Coronary), just get one. And beer . A very nice beer selection .

Josh Warfield

Fat elvis burger was the best! also get the tots or sweet potato fries ! one of my favorite burger joints hands down!

Paula Martinez

Definitely try some of their Draft Concoctions . My favorite is Black Velvet - Eventide Dry Irish Stout mixed with Crispin Hard Apple Cider .

Leonardo Aquino

I want to live in this place! Incredible burgers and a gigantic menu of beers . I tried the Black and Blue burger and the Dragon's Milk stout beer. Both are awesome!

Cyndi Cole Gibby

Took my son to eat a double coronary burger before leaving for basic training . He ate the whole thing. That's kind of a big deal in case you don't know. It is not only huge but delicious.

KueenKris🤷🏾‍♀️ Andrews

Why isn't there a location in Chicago?? I love that kids can't come! No crying a$$ babies, or whiny kids! Food and drinks were excellent. Love Love LOVE this place!

Jessica Fox

If you're feeling only slightly risky, and not wanting to end up in the ER try the coronary bypass. 1/2 lb sirloin patty, 3 slices American cheese , 4 slices bacon , fried egg and regular bun . Delish!

Men's Health Mag

ORDER: Coronary Bypass Burger . If you’re serving customers a ½ lb. sirloin burger , topped with a fried egg , 3 slices of cheese , 4 strips of bacon & mayo , you might as well name it after heart surgery.

Serious Eats

You can’t go wrong with any of the burgers . Don't miss the tater tots , perhaps the best in the city .

Hannah Swafford

The regular Votex burger was AMAZING. The potato salad I could have eaten a whole bowl of..and I'm not usually that interested in potato salad !!

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Funky atmosphere, loud music , enormous selection of bottled beers and some of the best and biggest burgers in town . Black bean soup and home-style pimento cheese are excellent, too. Read more

Umair Zia

Great burgers . Recommendations hold up. TX still does it better. Minus pts for crap macho/hate my parents rock: Korn, Disturbed, Manson, etc. Get the Hell Burger to pee out your butt.

Paula Madeira

The burgers are really really good, the service is good, the beer is good and the music is good. I definitely recommend it!

Danielle Hegedus

Food is consistently good. I like the grilled chicken melt (w scallion cream cheese !) and sweet potato fries w a side if pepperberry sauce. oh and Kari Kari is an awesome appetizer .

Walter Sturgeon

Alice is amazing. Try the double coronary for a true artery clogging experience or the Big Bad Voodoo Patty for one of the best tasting burgers around.

Yvonne Tsui

Try the Zombie Apocalypse - Open faced burger topped with pepper jack cheese , pulled pork , 2 eggs over easy , BBQ sauce in top of Texas toast . That's what you call a burger !

Maria Arshad-Osman

Great place to grab a late night meal....the staff was super friendly 🍗 🍖🍻 🍹 🍷 🍔 🍟 🍝 🍛

Eater

It’s the kind of place you want to take out-of-town guests, if only just to shock them with the existence of the Triple Coronary Bypass burger . [Eater 38 Member]

Kyann F

Been eating here since it was on W Peachtree in the 90s! The club sandwich is good but bring back the turkey sandwich . It was better than any leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwich you ever had!

Todd White

Best and most creative burgers in ATL. Great tater tots and huge beer selection full of local craft beer .

Jesse Oglesby

Amazing drink menu. Vast selection of beers . Very tasty food. No matter what entree I gotta get the Tots c

Christopher Quesada

Great place, hamburgers are amazing, great variety of beers and other liquors .

Miriana

Fun place, good food, and they had no problem with taking care of a boisterous 20+ people group including splitting checks! Also offer GF beer/cider options

Jenny Reinkemeyer

So, so, so good! The loaded tater-tots are to die for.

GourmetLive

We’re making a pit stop in Atlanta on our Gourmet Live & BlogHer Road Trip to find out where the best spot is for a juicy burger . Pinkie Fae of Pinkie and the Bean says Vortex is the go-to!

Michael Lucas

Hungry? The Double Coronary Bypass burger will fill up even the heartiest individuals. For those willing to go Man vs. Food style, the Triple Coronary Bypass burger has been added to the menu!

Atlanta

The ethos of late-night eating is perfectly summed up in the title of one of their most formidable burgers , the Coronary Bypass.

Todd Barnhart

One of my favorite Atlanta institutions. But it's really time to move into the 21st century and nix the smoking! (And that goes for the rest of GA too.)

Marlon Bradley

If you're feeling REAL hungry, try the double bypass burger or the triple bypass burger . Make sure you take somebody.with you though, both burgers will put you in a food coma...

aslı sabancı

try blue 'shroom if you're a blue cheese lover. tater tots make a great and fun side dish, absolutely recommended.

Kelley Nave

The hot dogs are amazing and huge! Also, if you want something tasty but not quite as filling, the fried chicken salad is great.

Kennedy Smith

I had the Guacamole burger and it was so awesome! Tomato bisque wasn't so fabulous but it's a burger spot, so wasn't expecting much.

Tatiana Zappardino

Stand up show a little too vulgar for me but cool place huge burgers and u can smoke inside which is so old fashion

Travel Channel

Burgers here are to die for! On Man v Food Nation, Adam Richman tries a burger so monstrous that it's held together by 2 grilled cheese sandwiches !

Maria Arnold

Blue burger was huge! And if you ask for rare. .. is rare! ! Drinks were strong to loved it! !!

Donna Yuen

Awesome fried pickles , ragin' Cajun and steak house burger and of course the tator tots .

Kristopha Hohn

As of 6/29/2016, a server informed me they no longer have the turkey burger . They'd sold the last of them a few weeks prior, and have no immediate plans to resume selling them.

A Young

Excellent food, funky atmosphere, straight forward menu, and always a little something for everyone.

Nya Booker

The sweet potato waffle fries w/marshmallow goo were AWESOME!!!! Turkey burger was bomb too...

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.
