Editorial Review for The Vortex – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Sibling to the L5P location, the Midtown eatery attracts college crowds and boisterous groups with its retro ads, quirky knickknacks and laidback vibe. Burgers are the big draw: Choose anything from the Yokohama Mama to the Coronary bypass, but standards like a classic patty melt or a bacon cheeseburger are the best bet. If red meat is not your thing, try the turkey reuben or a veggie burger.

I live 1 block away and continue to visit the vortex during "hours of operation" as posted on their website and they refuse to serve food. I will never go there again.

Everyone is right about the LOUSY service. The staff are all rude idiots. I've run into some elsewhere over the years at a popular local hangout and they are the biggest losers! They think that they are the so cool 'cause they work at the Vortex (that's their claim to fame). RIGHT! You have to be a complete idiot to work there...obviously they can't work anywhere else. Hope the Vortex offers a pension fund for them. The food? It's okay but I can get food that is comparable elsewhere and not have to deal with those moronic losers! I think that all the positive reviews of this place must have been written by the staff!

Pros: food has potential to be good

Cons: you've got to be an idiot to keep a job there

Killer burgers, a serious bar scene and raucous decor make this dressed-up burger joint a huge Midtown hangout.  See the full editorial review.
