Come on, if you're going to a place like the Vortex, then go to the Little 5 location. The burgers and tots are great, but the Frisco Monti Cristo is good enough to kill a man for.

Enjoyed their hamburger but I made the mistake of bringing children and an adult who was somewhat offended by the decor. I can see how people like it and will go again. I could do without some of the decor but...

Long time favorite.....places come and go but the Vortex maintains its rightful atop burger joints.... big, juicy, mouth-watering, char-grilled patty of the best burger you ever ate.

Variety is the spice of life, and the Vortex offers plenty of burger variety! From a Hawaiian-styled burger to Cheez-Wiz and everything in between. How do they get that sirloin to cook perfectly? It may be one...

I must recommend the Bleu Cheese Burger, it is an expedition to a far-off place where Burger-Lovers go to die. Also, I got a darn parking ticket while there (just like everybody else, I hear), so my Vortex...

Great burgers; so many choices, it was tough to make a decision. Tables too crowded for waiters to pass and our group of 9 could not be seated together.

Vortex number 1? No way! People need to get out more. Sure you may have a vast selection of burgers at the Vortex but think about it--perhaps they have to disguise the burger to get one to buy one. Vortex...

I love this place, and I don't even eat red meat! But who needs to, when their chicken and turkey burgers are so good? Two words which keep me coming back: Fried Zucchini!

Both Peachtree and Little Five crank out the best burgers you can get in this town. And I drive all the way in from Alpharetta to get them. Seriously worth the trip.

Mmmm...this is a tasty burger! Do you have a cold beverage so that I may wash this tasty burger down? Find it all at the Vortex! Good food, cold drinks, and an eclectic atmosphere.

From the hostess to the wait staff, all you get is awful service. None know how to run a restaurant. This makes the good food turn bad and not worth the effort.

I live in Alabama, and was visiting my daughter in Atlanta. We went to Vortex, and the atmosphere, food and surrounding area were really great. Best HB I've ever had. (and I've had a lot!)

This is my favorite restaurant in all Atlanta. Great food, especially the tater tots and bacon cheeseburgers and a side salad. Both locations are fun but the Little Five one is my favorite.

If Im craving the best burger I can get my hands on, I go to the Earl. However, the Vortex is no second-rate burger shack. The Blue Shroom is worth every calorie. The veggie melt with tator tots is my favorite...
