Why ordering chicken is a better idea. – I have to confess... I never order a burger at the Vortex. And I know, in the Burger Capital of America (Wall St Journal said it, not me) this is one of THE spots for a proper Atlanta hamburger. But I always sub chicken at the Vortex, specifically with the Big Fat Jerk (now called the Rajin-Cajun) because the burgers are a little bit too big. I wish they'd take a cue from George's and offer two sizes of burgers. Plus my thought is that if I'm going to order something gooey, cheesy, sl... read more

An Experience !!!!! – My wife and I drive over 30 minutes to go to the Vortex, and we were Not let down. I can see why they were voted #1 burger in Atlanta. Everyone talked about how RUDE the are, NOT the experience that we had the server could not have been nicer, great easy going staff welcome you with open arms. I ate the Coronary Bypass Burger, just the innovation to put a fried egg on a cheese burger, is Awesome. A wide variety of food, but so many burgers to pick from. We ate the Cheesy Cheddar balls as an app, man the... read more

Here is a summary of issues we have had since being signed up with the services from City Search. Dishonest about how services are billed. -I was given a different impression of how the site operates after talking to the citysearch employee for over 2 hours. I was given the impression that the site made income from adds placed by larger companies in the form of banner adds or featured sections. I have been involved with several different sites and they offer free advertisements and paid advertisements if you want a banner or... read more

Amazing Burgers – Great food in a fun atmosphere that only East Atlanta can provide. Only downside I've ever had here is when you're with a party larger than 6, they do not split checks...no matter what. It doesn't seem that bad until you are faced with the challenge of doing it yourself. They ask that you write down which items on the check you had, figure out the tax, and then pay with cash or card. It's 2009 and comupter systems do amazing things nowaways with the push of a single button, such as split checks. I was a ser... read more

Great Veggie Burger! – I love the vortex! Me and my boyfriend go there all the time. He loves all their burgers and I love their original veggie burger. I'm a vegetarian, so this is my favorite place to go, when I'm craving a veggieburger. Another secret: the tater tots are way better than the french fries. Also, if your a vegetarian, do not order the potato salad. There is bacon mixed in it. Overall, The Vortex is a great place to chill for lunch, or have some drinks at night.

Great Burgers, Great Drinks, Great Staff. – The Vortex is a high volume bar and burger joint. The food is great - there are even DELICIOUS vegetarian options and burger alternatives - turkey burger, veggie burger, tuna melt - you name it. If it is on the menu it is great. The beer selection is huge - there is something for any beer drinker, and stuff for those who aren't. If "outstanding service" to you means a server who is dedicated to your table and your table only, then don't eat here - or anywhere really, unless you are... read more

only idiots work there – This Vortex is better than the one in midtown, but that's not saying much. The food is actually pretty tasty. The wait is too long. It must be their trademark to have rude servers.

Vortex BAABBY !!! – This ain't your daddy's Cheers bar. The Vortex is attitude on steriods. As you walk in the door ...of a skull! You hear the driving beats of Jimi, Janice, and Nirvana oh yes and Marvin. Don't get it twisted, the atmosphere is both eclectic and electric. In the words of Nirvana, " Come as you are", you will be greeted with a smile and a great black and tan. The menu contains the best burgers and fries. Ranging from a blue cheese burger to a avacado and perschutto cheese burger, to your plain ole burger...b... read more

The Service Staff at this Place are supposed to be Rude!!!! – The Service Staff are Meant to be Rude, that is the draw to this Hamburger Joint. If you are easily offended don't go there.
