Has anyone ever been to Vortex in Atlanta? Going later this week. It's a meme bar/grill but it's on many best burger in America lists.

>> No.12321123

If you aren't an edgy boomer, you'll probably find it unenjoyable. It's been a while but all that stands out was that the waitress mispronounced the name of the beer I ordered, the menu was likely written by a guy who wore "big dog" brand shirts and found them genuinely funny, and that I had to stare at a large, carved wooden cock throughout the whole meal.

yeah but the burgers are consistently rated super high. that's what I'm in it for

also it seems like a place where somebody could help me get some vape carts, which i'll need for visiting the city

p.s.

I enjoyed staring at the wooden cock the most

Burgs are good, the bacon potato salad is one of the best things they have. Its a pretty good place but there are better burgers in ATL I think

I've been to the one in the pic (Little Five Points ATL) several times. The food is honestly delicious. I usually get a Single Coronary Bypass but I've jumped around the menu a bit too and it's all been great. The beer selection is huge too, though I will say a lot of it is either mediocre or overpriced. Overall it's a great place to eat though.

the idea of grilled cheese for bread is tempting but i don't think i could finish it without throwing up

Been there once, had the triple coronary bypass. Expensive AF at $20 for a fucking burger. But overall was a good burger. Expect a monster shit a few hours later.

I never realized this was an Atlanta only thing, I thought it was a chain. It's pretty good. I didn't find it amazing by any means. The fat Elvis was pretty damn good though, just really filling and will make you feel like a fat fuck, in a good way.

Me again, the other good burger spot I've been to once is FLIP Burger and I'd probably go back there rather than the Vortex. The food at FLIP Burger seemed overall higher quality and better put together. But again I've only been to each once so take that with a grain of salt.

Resident Atlanta fag here, been stewing in this swamp for the last 20 years.

The 5 points area is hipster hype garbage.

illegal food used to have a burger called a "hank" it was absolute best

save yourself the money, and walk 5 minutes down the street and get a burger from the "Candler Park Market"

if you want incredible sandwiches and such hit up Victory Sandwich.

Great ramen Jinya and Hajime

Amazing Korean Texan BBQ : heirloom market

if you get a chance hit up Buford highway this is where you will find a real variety of food.

Avoid Ponce Shitty Market. everything is over priced.

oh also hit up Grind House Killer Burgers.

There's this little burger bar in the Roswell area that my brother takes me to which are the best imo in the Atlanta area. It's not some fancy ass shithole with stupid labeling on everything. You sure wont find it on some fake top 10 list, but it really is the best and not expensive either, it really hits the spot after a plane ride and I'm visiting him there.
I asked my brother who lives in the Atlanta area, Rhea's in downtown Roswell, it's nothing fancy and isn't supposed to be. If you're looking for some fancy tourist trap then that's not it, it's around the Canton & Woodstock streets. I can't find it on a map, but they do have some good burgers.

I went there a while ago and got the lone star tex melt and had bacon added to it. Very big, tasty burger. You'll like it there. I think people here are hating on it because it's popular, more or less.

The fried pickle spears are pretty awesome, too.

Au Cheval in Chicago is on most best burger in America lists and I didn't like it. It was raw and it was dry.

That's pretty expensive, coming from someone in Los Angeles where a decent burg is like 15 and under.

Not related to burgers but I just want to say The Varsity fucking sucks.

it's a meme burger. it has like 15 slices of cheese on it and shit, that's why it costs so much

in atlanta or charlotte you can get an absolute top quality burger for 15 max

God you're a faggot, not one mention of some gas station pit stop on my original recommended list.

I try to steer you clear of bullshit touristy hype garbage where you're paying for the "experience of ATL" and rather get good fucking food.

Alright faggot never mind go ahead go to the Varsity while you're at it and Coca Cola museum too don't for get to pay $20 to take an elevator to get the ponce city roof top.

Fucking boring ass tourist tier vacation "uh yeah I went to Lenox Mall and at true food"

then again you might be the $15 avocado on toast type faggot.

A burger here a burger there a burgers a burger anywhere. Listen chap, ground chuck tossed in between bread is the same everywhere. No difference. So little room for innovation. Big meat in bread. Fin.
