The Vortex Burger – a juicy, back-to-basics half-pound of premium ground sirloin – was born.įour years later, the Benoits opened a second location in Little Five Points. They created the Vortex with dreams of becoming a cozy neighborhood bar, “a secret hideout for serious drinkers.” To keep their customers from going hungry, they decided to serve burgers as well. When siblings Michael, Hank and Suzanne Benoit opened the original Vortex in Midtown, they didn’t anticipate that it would become an alpha dog of Atlanta burger joints.

The giant skull façade of the Little Five Points location has become something of a landmark, and the restaurant has been honored by local and national publications with a handful of awards and has been featured on popular TV shows like “Man v. “Keeping it real since 1992,” the Vortex Bar and Grill has become an establishment for Atlantans in search of a fine burger and a beer – served with a side of attitude. With 360 degrees of hodgepodge décor, it’s easy to forget the main attraction: Atlanta’s best burger.

On the other side of the skull’s jaws, it’s as if the dimly-lit den was swept up by a tornado, landing in a surreal other world. For those who venture through the skull’s mouth and into the Vortex, an alternate universe awaits.
