The entrance to the Little Five Points location is a giant skull that swallows you whole. Get sucked in with the Vortex's extensive menu, which offers nearly every beer you can think of. Besides 30 beers on tap, you'll find more than 210 bottled beers and more than 80 single-malt Scotches. The interior is a visual logjam, with goofy things of all sorts crawling the walls: airplanes, skeletons on motorcycles, old license plates and a big moose head for starters.

At both locations, the big, fat, juicy burgers are the main act. Topping options include blue, jack and cheddar cheese as well as homemade salsa. If burgers aren't your thing, you'll find good chicken, fish and shrimp options plus generous deli sandwiches. Vegetarians can chose a black bean or veggie burger. For compromisers, there's a good turkey burger. Lunchtime hosts mostly business folk, but it draws in the younger set at night. -- Stephanie Boozer & Judith Augustine

  • Best Burger

    Review rating : 5out of 5   Helen0717 - 07/25/2008

    We went there for my birthday to check out the "Best Burger" reputation. It WAS the best burger I have ever had at a restaurant. The service was just fine, and the beer was good, too. I highly recommend it. Also, if you sign up for their email newsletter, they give you a free MEAL on your birthday, not just an entree. The burger and plate full of fries was two meals for me, and the deli pickles are great.

  • Bad Service left a bad taste!!!!!!!

    Review rating : 1out of 5   Tamlord12345 - 05/30/2008

    I have yet to try this location! But the Mid-town location was a turn off! The people were rude and distant. And one young lady was just plain nasty. I was so turn off by atmosphere, I just turn and politely walked away. I have no idea if the burgers is as good as they say. I didn't get that far! But it did leave a bad taste in my mouth! I did get a good burger that day from a place that was warm and welcoming and treated me with respect!!!

  • Highly Overrated

    Vortex's burgers are highly overrated. They are dry and ordinary. The staff varies from indifferent to downright nasty. To the poster that asked why they rate so highly, some of those surveys are done by that free intown newspaper, and they seem to be well connected there.
