The Vortex Bar and Grill

438 Moreland Ave
Atlanta, GA 30307

Don't let the Vortex's gothic look and biker bar reputation deter you from walking through the skull and having a memorable meal.  Creative Loafing voted The Vortex Best Burger in Atlanta fourteen years in a row.  If you have to wait to be seated, don't worry, find a seat at the huge bar and gaze upon the strange paraphernalia, particularly the famed skeleton riding a motorcycle.

Obviously known for their burgers, their starters are remarkable as well, try the fried dill spears.  It can be tough to decide what burger you want given the sixteen tasty options.  I had the Spanish Fly, a spicy chili cheese burger which was good, but I'll try a different one next go around.  Katy's Tasmanian Devil Burger with an assortment of seasonings, spicy pepper jack, and pineapple relish was sweet and savory.  A star on the menu is the Elvis Burger which contains peanut butter, bacon, and fried bananas and those who have an appetite for destruction can try to survive the Super-Stack Heart Attack burger.

Before you go, there are a few rules to bear in mind.  This is an 18 and over bar, smoking is allowed, and if you're sensitive, the people and/or decor will offend.  Whether or not these are the best burgers in Atlanta, the Vortex is an experience to be had by all.
