Reviews for The Vortex in Atlanta, GA
Finally tried this place for the first time and it didn?t disappoint. We got there around at 7 and only waited 15 minutes even... though the hostess said it would be 20-45. The place is packed so people clearly love it here! The barbecue-mac&cheese burgerwith onion rings was very good. I will be returning to try other burgers. Read more
Went here with 3 friends on a Sunday night. There was a good wait (30 minutes), but it was clear that was from the number of... people wanting to eat here, not the service. They have a really good drink menu at good prices, and we all loved our burgers. Ialso ordered the cheese balls for an appetizer - really great and really shareable. The vibe of the Vortex was fun and cool - Idefinitely recommend eating here. Read more
This place is absolutely insane! My guilty pleasure of choice. They have huge burgers that are delicious, wings to die for, and... a heartattack burger with eggs that will leave you, stuffed like a pumpkin. I visited just to see if the offerings were aswickedly delicious as I had heard; and they were!! The bar is fully stocked with many different signature drinks, the vibe islaid back and trendy and the location is convenient. The staff were nice and very knowledgeable about each dish. This isdefinitely not the kind of place that I would visit often but I certainly cannot wait to go back! Read more
Extensive menu with lots of delicious options with hilarious descriptions. Took a while for me to decide but ended up going for... the Alpine Steak Burger. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. Just be aware that any burger you get will be messy! Went fortater tots with my meal which were great but could tell they were made in the same oil as the fried desserts. Fine with me butbe aware of this. We were able to seat ourselves and choose a table on the top dock. Waitress was friendly and overall great.Main downside of this visit was the wait, especially for the drinks which were simple fountain drinks. But overall, woulddefinitely visit again to try the different options on the menu! Read more
This place is a cool niche, they have one in every town but I still like them. Heard the burgers were outstanding. May have... gotten my hopes up a bit too high. The burger was good, atmosphere was fine, service was fine. All was a 3-4 star max. If Icould go 3.5 I would but otherwise nothing above average. Read more
Decided to take a first timer here. She enjoyed it, I personally haven't been in years but definitely remember it was good. I... had the black and blue. She had the well I can't remember but she liked it ????. Service was good and prompt. Only thing Ididn't enjoy was smokers smoke right outside of the exit door and you can smell the cigarette smoke back Inside from outside.Other than that always good food. Read more
Parking is a bit tight here. It?s a small shopping center, with only a handful reserved for Vortex. If you don?t get here by... noon, good luck finding a spot! There are two entrances. Main facing street, and accessible ramp behind next to Vortex parkingspots. Note: ramp takes you to covered patio seating. COVID prevention: Staff are friendly, and multiple times throughout myvisit I saw employees sanitizing tables and high touch surfaces. Employees also wear masks. Food is very very good, withportions a lot larger than I expected for the price. I had the BBQ Mac & Cheese burger, with Dixie Wrecked Taters as a side.Both among the best I?ve ever had! Fried cheesecake is very good, too. Fried just right, not so crunchy it feels like it?ll cutyour gums, but not soft enough to feel gross. Read more
A nice place for burgers. We went at lunch time during the week, so we only sampled the food. The place wasn't crowded, but it... looks like it may get so at night. Note that even if you have no drinks and you go during the day you still have to be 21 to getin. Burgers pretty good. Somehow we felt that the ones at the other vortex location were even better. On the other hand, servicehere was faster and more attentive. Our waiter was checking on us at just the right times. The atmosphere is a bit of one of akind, as you can guess from my pictures. The four horsemen and fried plantains were very good. Definitely recommend it. There issome reserved free parking, but it may get full at night. They also have an upstairs, but we ate on the ground floor. Definitelyrecommend this bar! Read more
