Midtown Atlanta's not-so-polite burger joint

Looking for a Midtown Atlanta restaurant that actually has a pulse? Good. You found it.

The Vortex has been serving up some of the best burgers in Atlanta since 1992 — no gimmicks, no trends, just big, fresh food and a full bar that does its job properly. This is a true bar and grill in Midtown Atlanta, and if you're the kind of person who appreciates a legit burger bar in Atlanta, you'll feel right at home.

If you're expecting quiet and refined… you're in the wrong place.

Big burgers. Strong drinks. Late nights.

Half-pound burgers. Fresh, never frozen. Cooked to order like they should be. That's the foundation. Then you've got wings, nachos, sandwiches, and a bar that isn't shy about pouring real drinks.

Need late night food in Atlanta? That's kind of our thing. The kitchen stays open later than most Midtown restaurants, which is why people end up here when everything else is closed or disappointing.

Eat. Drink. Repeat. It's not complicated.

Right in the middle of everything

We're at Peachtree and 10th — right where you want to be. Walk over from Piedmont Park, Georgia Tech, Colony Square, or swing by before or after a show at the Fox. That's why we're a go-to for people looking for restaurants near the Fox Theater.

Right next door is the Laughing Skull Lounge — a staple comedy club Atlanta locals know well, with live stand-up most nights. Dinner and a show without the hassle of going anywhere else.

MARTA's close. Parking's around. You'll figure it out.
