Very good time at the vortex. Fantastic staff. Our waitress was quick, polite friendly. Nice! Had a patty melt burger with tots recommended by waitress. Had the special sauce on the side allowing for great dipping of burger and tots. Nice.

Amazing vibes, fast customer service. Don’t overcharge customers. I really enjoyed my burger. Got it medium and it was just right. Just the right amount of red. Definitely good vibe to check out with some friends.

Always a absolutely fantastic experience eating here. Good music, good service and amazing food. Our server was the nicest ever and very attentive to our table. It’s quite possibly the only example of a flawless dining place. Love it. We’ll go every chance we get.

The food here is top tier & the sole reason for a 5/5 stars. Every meal was delicious. The beverages tasted a little weird but honestly, its a bar I wasn’t expecting grade A sprite.

Came here for the vortex, saw an Irish pub across the street and said hell why not. Sat ourselves and stayed ignored for a solid five minutes before saying yep back to the original plan. The vortex, both locations, serve up delicious hot fresh food every single time. Our service was great even as busy as she was. Glad we ended up back in here instead of across the road.

The Vortex is for adults only 21 and older and I love it! Our waitress was awesome. She was very upbeat and happy to serve us. And that is a plus for me. The food was good. I had the muthacluckin chicken rolls …delicious! Only thing I didn’t like was you only get four look pinwheels just bigger. I could have eaten 8 of them, that’s how good they were. The other dishes we tried were the mini burgers and the nachos. You can get whatever you like on your nachos. They were good too and plenty of. The mini burgers were cute and tasty. We tried one with pulled pork and Mac and cheese. And you can brevet go wrong with washing your food down with a good beer, Stella Artois and Sweetwater 420. The atmosphere was a vibe and eclectic. Definitely going back and they have other locations as well.

I’m visiting from NY and saw this place has good ratings but I could have saved myself money and time. The place looked cool but my chicken sandwich came out way too quick to be quality and you could taste the lack of quality. I turned on my flashlight to make sure it was actually cooked because of the texture. I could have had a better chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A. The tater tots were good though. Service was trash. I had to remind the bartender that she never gave me my beer and watched her for several minutes on her phone as I waited for her attention for my bill. (My sauce on the side was my request.)

The burgers were awesome, I particularly loved the spicy burger, it’s better to put the spicy sauce on side instead of burger. It’s better to enjoy it that way instead of burning your mouth.

I’ve been coming to this place for many years since living in Georgia and I’ve shared a lot of special moments in it including my high school graduation, a nice date, and a few different fun hangouts with friends. It suits so many occasions and despite the rather coarse (but entertaining) descriptions and captions of the menu (and the 18 years or older requirement) the only thing that may offend you when you come in and try it will be the realization that you’ve deprived yourself of it and its charm for so long.
