YOUR PICK FOR ...
 ... Best burgers

Vortex Bar & Grill Vortex Bar & Grill
Burgers at this Atlanta favorite come in a range of choices, from the standard cheeseburgers to the Jamaican Jerk burger brushed with island spice. They're juicy, drippy things that you can still manage to pick up. And you can count on them to keep their integrity through the last bite. This is the second year in a row Vortex Bar & Grill has won in this category.
