The Vortex Midtown was such a fun experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is loud, quirky, and unapologetically over-the-top--in the best way. Service is always top tier though! We ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger and the Zombie Burger, and both delivered exactly what you'd want from a place like this. The Mushroom Swiss was rich, juicy, and loaded with flavor, with perfectly melted cheese and mushrooms that actually added depth instead of getting lost. The Zombie Burger was messy, bold, and indulgent--definitely not a "play it safe" kind of burger, but that's what made it great. This isn't a quiet, refined dining spot--and it's not trying to be. It's fun, casual, and perfect for when you want a great burger with personality. If you're looking for solid food, big flavors, and a place that doesn't take itself too seriously, The Vortex absolutely hits the mark. read more

Omg. Yeah I understand why Vortex is what it is. Every Vortex is unique and always Haston's of character which I can appreciate. I had the Holy Guacamole Burger with the guac on the side: Now that burger was incredible. The fries were perfect and so was the burger. I'm glad I've only had great burgers at Vortex. If you know anything about Vortex you know it can appear pretty sacrilegious and I can see it turning some people away, but if you can stomach it I the food won't disappoint. Children under 18 aren't allowed after a certain time and they always have a mystery shot for the low. Pro tip: Good luck read more

Went here because there's honestly not a lot of restaurants open late in Atlanta. This is my second time here and knew it would be a solid late night dinner spot. We were sat and greeted by our server instantly. Our server was kind and quick. We got the cheese balls appetizer with the jalepanos mixed in. They were super yummy and crispy with the sauce that came with it. We split the patty melt and fries for dinner. I wanted a med-rare cook so the server kindly swapped out the smash patties for a thick patty for the melt. It was a solid patty melt and the crinkle fries were nice and crispy. The ambiance is always super cool here with all the skeletons everywhere. The more you look around, the more funny and wacky decorations you find. read more

I had a good experience 05/13, sat at the bar and Sarah took good care of me. Very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended good cocktails and food suggestions. I ended up with sliders and a Texas Marg and ended with a mystery shot. I will definitely come back, cool ambiance and vibes, a great place for a girl's night out. read more

This place was recommended by a local and I am so glad we listened. Hands down one of the best burgers I've had. Although it took some time to get our food and it was relatively empty, I'd definitely say it was worth the wait. We loved the ambience of the restaurant and it's pretty cool that it's an adult only place. Definitely will be back on our next visit! read more

I came for dinner on a Sunday night and the bartenders were amazing! They were so nice and even though they were busy, they got to me at a decent time. My drink was AMAZING, I actually got two of them because it was so good. I decided to get a burger, which was fine and the fries were good. The only issue was that it wasn't the most filling and I still felt hungry and almost got an additional appetizer. But overall the food and experience was really nice. I'd recommend just 100% get a double burger instead of just one patty lol read more

DoorDash has been rolling out some amazing deals this week, so I couldn't resist grabbing another burger. I went for the We'Na'Lei'Ya like I promised, and honestly, I think it's my favorite so far! The mix of chipotle cream cheese and pineapple jelly on a savory patty is just too good for words. I also added an order of wings, and let me tell you--the wings are jumbo, perfectly fried, and coated in a thick, sweet-and-spicy sauce that hits just right. read more

Overall, this is a very solid place for dinner and drinks. The food is upscale bar and grille, with a great assortment of beers and cocktails. The burgers live up to the hype. The service was very good, and the inside is eclectically decorated with lots to look at and a bit risqué. Note that they have a strict 21 and over policy. They also have two pages of rules/policies that can come off as dickish, but are common sense, and were generated, no doubt, because of past patrons that were dicks themselves. read more

Seated Immediately, our waitress showed up immediately and brought us water and then took our drink orders. Very nice. I can't remember her name or I would mention her.. we had a party of seven. The decor was really cool. The ambience was casual and a city vibe, It was a fun atmosphere,. the service was impeccable, the food was great. The burgers were amazing for dessert. We ordered funnel cake fries, which were out of this world.. I just had the original cheeseburger which was cooked perfectly (well done ) I ordered a bowl of chili as my side and brought it home so I haven't tried that yet. I ordered the turkey chili because my sister-in-law ordered half-and-half and she said it was a little spicy but she liked it.. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer read more

greatest drunk junk food area around. we came here for a stand up comedy show, which was an experience in itself, & thought why not? loved all the NSFW decorations & bountiful TVs so my honey could stay up to date on the games. we ordered burgers & i really appreciate how they had a vegetarian option. something i thought was weird was that we couldn't add mayo to our burgers automatically - there were mayo dispensers on the counter that freaked me out. anyway, would still recommend this place to anyone in ATL. fun little spot w nice, greasy eats. rub me for luck! read more

Well first off. The Vortex is an Atlanta must visit. They are well known for their strait forward rules printed on their menu. I've visited several times in the past. When i arrived i found a seat,and was soon visited by Kirsten. She took my drink order and ask if I needed time to explore the menu. However I didnt, as i had decided what i wanted to try,long before arriving. So i settled on the Fat Elvis. Now I love PB,but wasn't sure about that on a burger. I dont really care for plantains either. But I decided to go all in,and try it . Im certainly glad I didnt change a thing. You could taste the sweetness of the pb,but it wasnt over powering. I found the combination very pleasing and taste. The onion rings were great. Now this is a bar so expect low lighting in certain spots in the bar. On the day of my visiting they were blarring music. So if your looking for a quiter setting,this might not be your spot. However i highly recommend you go visit. read more

Best burgers in Atlanta. Midtown location is open fairly late. Not the same feel as the OG in little five but this place is good. Service is top notch and menu has a little for everyone. Place is clean and everyone is super friendly. Get the tots. The fries are not that good here. Pro tip: get their hot sauce as a side to dip your tots into - it's good. This place has some unusual burgers that get all the attention but don't sleep on the classic. It's a very well done burger. read more

Visiting friends in Midtown, we were looking for one of those hidden gems with great burgers and a fun local vibe. We ended up at The Vortex Bar & Grill on Peachtree Street and weren't disappointed. Three of us ordered burgers cooked to different temperatures, and each one came out perfectly. Great service, good quality food, and very reasonably priced. read more

I went to the Vortex around 2pm on Feb 25. The song in the entrance said " no host on duty so sit yo ass down" which we did. after waiting for someone to come tonight table I went to the bar and repeated what the sign said and continues in jest thatbwe sat our ass down and asked if anyone knows that our asses are sitting there. The person behind the bar said " you can eat somewhere else if you don't like it". When I returned to my table so one had come to the table and I asked to speak to the manager. The manager turned out to be the woman who told me we could eat somewhere else. She then subsequently told me when I told her I was not happy with her response she said " I could do whatever I want". We got up and left. I will never come to this establishment again and I will make sure everyone I know knows what kind of management you have. read more

Gracious and welcoming . Apps and drinks arrived in a timely fashion. We enjoyed our meals in a leisurely manner. We skipped dessert, had a decaf. Tipped nicely and thanked our server... . read more

I love how the restaurant was set up, the decor and random knick knacks were very cute. Went closer to 2pm on a Sunday, it not very busy. Our server was very attentive and the service was fast. They had really good music playing! I had the Tex melt. It was very filling but the actual burger was very bland and the fries were very thick and a bit undercooked. read more

This place is legit! I was killing some time downtown and stopped by The Vortex. The inside was dark and decorated with all sorts of crazy memorabilia. I actually decided to sit outside, so I could people watch. If you sit outside, just be warned that your service might be a bit slower. As for food, their menu looked inside. They had a ton of interesting burger options, but I went for the 50/50 Chili (half beef, half turkey). The chili had a nice flavor to it and it came with some kind of cornbread on the side. Solid spot! read more

The vibe was super noisy with a diverse age group of customers. The music was not to my liking as I don't enjoy super loud music with f-words. They have a comedy club right next door. Our server was friendly and quick with our order although the bar took a while with my beer. Our burgers were excellent! My friend got the cheeseburger and said it was one of the best they had ever had and I got the Pickle Rick impossible burger which was delicious! We ordered an appetizer of Mac N Cheesy Changa which was amazing! And I ordered a Gate City Lager which was enjoyable. Our seating was a high top table, not my favorite but at least the chairs had a place to put your feet. Don't expect to have a conversation while you're here but if you're after a good meal it's worth a stop. read more

The second time here, but my first review. I first came here in 2019. It still looks like I remember it. It's a small restaurant in the mid-town area. We actually came here early in the day. It was completely empty and quiet. We didn't order any food, just sat at the bar and had some beer. I had the Apple Cobbler. Their beer sizes are huge. I ordered the small, and the beer looked like a large. The bartenders were friendly. The restrooms and restaurant were clean (since it was early, I'm sure, lol). You'll love the atmosphere. read more

First thing is the server was the best part of the place. We've been here before when we come to Atlanta to visit our son. It was always a chill vibe, cool decor and great food. But last night we went and the music was literally so loud we could not hear each other across the table. There was maybe 2 other tables in what is usually an always full restaurant so when I asked if they could turn music down, I thought it was a simple request. I was told that is the way the manager wants it- "old school" ??? Thankfully it was a cool night so we went to sit on the patio- (there is no music at all and they are hard metal picnic tables) The food was just ok. Nothing close to what it was before. I feel this is the new trend ruining restaurants all over the country - music so loud and subpar food - this will not keep customers coming back. I'm sure for some people, they don't mind blaring music and average food but for me- sadly I need to find another burger place. read more

A delicious burger spot! I went for the GA/GA Tech game, and this place was the perfect atmosphere being right near Tech's campus. We were all craving something heavy, like a burger, and this hit the spot. There wasn't much else on the menu other than burgers, so you know this had to be good. I got the Swiss and Mushroom burger...and Swiss and mushroom it was! It was topped with tons of mushrooms and Swiss cheese that I picked it right off the burger with my fork. The burger was absolutely delicious and flavorful for a burger patty. I didn't eat the bun, on a Thanksgiving cleanse haha, but it looked pretty tasty. I also loved the pickles that came w it. As a side, I got the house salad. I wish the bowl was bigger because the salad had so much on it, but it was ok. The atmosphere was bar-like. There was a bar right when we walked in playing the football game on all of the tvs. We sat right away with no wait, which we all appreciated. Service was great! Will be back next time I'm in this area and craving a burger! read more

The burgers here are amazing and I highly recommend trying this place. The service was fast and the food came out quick during the lunch hour.

Yes they also have veggie burgers too. read more

Came about an hour before closing and the service was still great! The place has a cool night time vibe with unique and eclectic style. They have music playing but it's not too loud or overwhelming. As far as food goes I think it was great. I got the bbq Mac and cheese burger with fries, along with the sump n fruity drink. Burger tasted fresh and fries were delicious. I also loved their ranch and honey mustard. My drink was sweet and tasty just like a jelly rancher or nerds. I think this is a nice spot to hang out with friends after a late night. read more

Here's the long story short--decent burgers, meh atmosphere. I've been meaning to come to the vortex since I turned 21 because I thought it was going to be a whole experience. Maybe it's because I came during lunch but it was pretty dead inside. Maybe just about a handful of people. Service was also very eh. The hostess kept walking out to smoke a cigarette and it looked like people from the kitchen just kept going in and out to chat around. The Vortex has a very extensive menu. I would hope it you don't like burgers you're not trying to eat here because the menu is really just burgers and sandwiches. A lot of the burgers had extra additives that just seemed like a lot (ie. the Mac and cheese burger, or the burger with cream cheese). I prefer a staple burger so I ordered the retro diner burger and added bbq. It was honestly a pretty decent burger. The Pattie was well seasoned and the condiments added to it. It did get a little soggy and mushy as I continued to eat but the flavor was still there. Like I said, a little underwhelming if you're going for the hype of the name. Luckily the burgers are fairly priced so I don't feel like I came out of pocket too much for this. I would like to come back in the later times of the day to get a glimpse of what a packed bar would look like because it has potential. read more

Good burgers, eclectic atmosphere which is almost like a college fraternity party. The night we went you needed to be 21 to enter, which is good because this place wouldn't be good for children. It was fun. The food was good. The service was fine. The only issue really was the hostess / entry situation was off. The intake was slow for some unknown reason. The bar seats are first-come first-served but that isn't noted anywhere. The result is patrons wait in a line unnecessarily to then be told they can go right in if sitting at the bar. read more

Sitting at the bar was just fine. I had no problems with the bartender. It was the food. I ordered a regular cheeseburger medium well, which came out very rare. They took it back, and when they served it again, it seemed like they had just given me the same burger. After two tries, I had the server take it off my tab. The decor seems unique until you walk to the bathroom and see the devil signs down the hallways. Decor suggests that's why you have to be 21+ to enter. read more

Came here with a group of 5 for lunch on a Friday - it was a great time! Got seated immediately and the service was quick and friendly.

When friends come into town, if we want large portions, cheap liquor, and a fun ambiance, I take them to Vortex. The original location is on Moreland, but the Peachtree location is close to my place so it's fun to walk over for a bite or to have a drink (or 3 lol) I've typically had good service, but it can be slow and they definitely don't pride themselves on being friendly lol the inside has a very retro grunge vibe - everything from skeletons riding Harley's to a massive pen** inside next to the entrance (decor like this may be something to note if you're considering bringing kids!) The menu is massive and there's a tonnnn of fun different burger options. Sometimes the toppings are so abundant that I can't fit the burger in my mouth lol their chili is fabulous and a great quick bite to go as well. read more

I'm so 50/50 about my experience. The host didn't ask if we were okay sitting outside which kind of sucked cause it got coldddd and upstairs isn't as cool as downstairs. The place was super cool, but the food was not great. My Server was kind, but he didn't check on us until our meal was 1/2 way done. I would try this place again to hopefully get a better experience, but if you haven't gone, go for the vibes and wish for the best cause it was still cool. read more

Amazing burger, and good vibe. This needs 85 characters that's why I'm typing it out to post.

I would've rated this amazing place a 5 star but their fries are not fresh but frozen. If they can make everything else from scratch why not their fries? I truly hate curly frozen fries. When someone scours out a great local place to eat we expect everything they make is from scratch and fresh.. I still highly recommend!! Just wish they will change their fries!
