Grilling up some of the best burgers in Atlanta, The Vortex Bar and Grill isn't just one of the city's favorite burger joints, it's an iconic landmark and arguably one the best remnants of the city's pre-Olympic facelift. The Vortex's front door is housed in the mouth of a striking 20-foot-tall skull face that was originally erected in 1996.
Despite being one of the oldest burger joints in the city, The Vortex holds its own against the new restaurants popping up with just two things: attitude and a menu of over 20 burger varieties. At the heart of every burger is a half-pound sirloin patty flame-grilled to perfection then topped with everything you could possibly imagine. Go for crazy options like the bacon, fried banana, and peanut butter-topped Fat Elvis, or try a behemoth like the Double Bypass.
