Reviews The Vortex

Loved the vibe! Stopped in with a friend from out of town while we were visiting 5 points. This was a cool little spot. I’ll definitely try some food and the funnel cake the next time, and I’ll post pictures!

Great food and great service. The food came out fast and was very flavorful. The atmosphere is cool. Good music and good drinks

I always forget how damned good this place is! Sat at the bar. Quick service and plentiful, delicious food. I had the house salad with chicken--huge--and onion rings that were perfectly crunchy. My friend got a burger and chili. Good beer selection. Eclectic decor. Great experience all the way around.

Now this is my kind of place. We were seated upstairs, which was a bit on the dimly lit side of things. Not good, not bad, just pointing it out. The menu is extensive, options on options. It was hard to make a decision. I settled on a the Freaky Tiki and was blown away. Great flavor, good portion. Asked for medium, was cooked perfectly medium, thank you! Had a couple of Angels Envy's on the rocks, standard pours. Drink menu has just about anything you could want. Server was fantastic, matched the energy of the table, checked in to make sure all was good. On top of everything, the music choice was right up my alley, which was really the icing on the metaphorical cake. Think punk/ punk rock. A Bullet For My Valentine, A Day to Remember, and similar artists. Overall, chefs kiss. You'll find me back here every time I visit Atlanta.

The Vortex is a 21 and over bar. There are very limited free parking and many more paid parking spots. Seating is fairly tight inside, however, they do have a patio area upstairs. It's enclosed and less crowded but not as much of the Vortex atmosphere. They have a very well-stocked bar and are likely to have or able to make any drink you want. We ordered the muthaclucking chicken rolls for an appetizer. They were amazing. The dipping sauce was amazing. I got the plain ole cheeseburger. I've eaten several times and have tried many of the specialty burgers so I wanted to try just a plain burger. It was far from plain. The patty tasted very good. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and pickles. The condiments were on the table. I would recommend that burger. I got Tatar tots with mine. My daughter got fries, the tots are better. I also got a bowl of chili. I was impressed. The menu says it's hot, to me it had the right amount of heat. Not too hot to eat but just right. I do like spicy foods though. Dessert. We got the fried cheesecake and funnel cake fries. They were both amazing. Between the two, I prefer the cheesecake. Needless to say, I left stuffed. I recommend the Vortex if you're looking for a great burger and a good atmosphere.
