The Most Delicious Burgers in Atlanta

The Vortex Bar And Grill - Midtown

★★★★☆ 3.9 (2030) • $$

"This place is legit! I was killing some time downtown and stopped by The Vortex. The inside was dark and decorated with all sorts of crazy memorabilia. I actually decided to sit outside, so I could people watch. If you sit outside, just be warned that your service might be a bit slower.As for food, their menu looked inside. They had a ton of interesting burger options, but I went for the 50/50 Chili (half beef, half turkey). The chili had a nice flavor to it and it came with some kind of cornbread on the side. Solid spot!"

Sublime Doughnuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1376)

"Sublime donuts are a must get every time I'm on this part of town. They're it your typical glazed donuts with sprinkles - these are the real deal. The 3 flavors I always get are peach fritter, strawberries and cream, and Reese's peanut butter cups. The donuts have a nice chew and not too sweet for my liking. But of these 3, my absolute fave is the Reese's peanut butter cup. The middle of the donut has the peanut butter filling and glazed with chocolate, topped with pieces of peanut butter cup. They have some seating inside. They also offer coffee and have a fridge with water, milk and juice. Their donut price ranges from $2.50-$2.75 I believe. Best part about this place? It's open 24 hours. Get a donut craving at 4 am? Need a little pick me up after working late or while studying? Sublime is the spot."

Ted's Montana Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1256) • $$

"This is a fantastic restaurant in the area, one of tue very few options in a busy tourist area. We walked in for a Friday lunch, luckily it wasn't very busy. The restaurant has wonderful interior, a huge bar, bunch of very well decorated booths. The menu is full of interesting dishes. I got the naked burger that had a bison paddy. It was a delicious burger. The bison tasted so good with melted cheese and all the other ingredients of the burger. We liked the huge crab cakes and citrusy lemonade. They have a small kids menu as well. Chicken fingers and fries were good. Service was excellent. Our server was so nice. Food came out within a decent time. Overall this is a great place to dine with family."

Fred's Meat & Bread

★★★★☆ 4.1 (773)

"The food is amazing and well deserving of 5 stars but everything else drags this place down.Food - I ordered the Korean Cheese Steak and BBQ fries with white sauce. The cheese steak tastes great and has candied jalapenos in it. The perfect balance of sweet and heat. The bread is extremely soft on the inside. The fries are loaded with BBQ seasoning and taste amazing. The white sauce tastes just like mayo. Other - You have to pay for parking and walk to the food hall. There is a lot of traffic in the area. Not many places to sit. They only have bottled drinks and water."

Village Burger-Dunwoody

★★★★☆ 4.2 (642) • $$

"This is definitely a mom and pop burger shop.The food taste amazing and they cook everything to order. The place is pretty small on the inside and the other dining section has the heater way too high.I ordered the Village burger and concrete. The milkshake was not worth it all all. The burger was good. Be sure to ask for sauces."

Park Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (705)

"I've visited Park Bar off and on over the years and now that I'm going to Hawks games regularly, it has become my go-to stop to have a drink and a snack before the games. I love the 3-in-1 drink cup, and an order of hotzarella cheese sticks. If I'm feeling fancy or a little chubbs, I'll have the Piedmont salad. I've never had a food item that was terrible, so I don't think you can go wrong. The food isn't fancy, but it's solid and you won't have any disappointing surprises. Service is fast and easy-going. Be ready to order and let them keep it moving. If you wait to go after an event, be prepared for the crowd. Park Bar is a favorite and finding a seat in the later hours won't be easy. But there will be plenty of people to start a conversation with while you wait! :-)"

NFA Burger

★★★★★ 4.6 (502) • $$

"The place was super busy and the line was wrapped around! The line was well worth the wait! We ordered two classic burgers with all the toppings that usually come on it, fries and tater tots. They ask where you want to sit and bring it out to you! We sat at the picnic tables and not even five minutes later, the food was brought out. Super fast service! The burger was so good, soft and pillowy bun, great sauce and the meat was seasoned well. The seasoning on the fries were great and paired so well with the sauce. The tater tots were crispy and great. We also got the chance to meet the owner, he was super friendly and came around to ask everyone if they were enjoying their meals. I will 100% be back and I even heard him say they will be bringing more things to the menu, can't wait to try and hint: even milkshakes!!!"

Meehan's Public House - Downtown

★★★★☆ 3.7 (554) • $$

"I had been warned to avoid downtown as this is not a great walking city. They were right. My company secured a block of rooms at a nearby hotel and the food selections around here were meager at best. Meehan's was one of the few solid choices and they really delivered for me. The place was packed but I grabbed a seat at the bar and the two bartenders were busting their asses all shift pulling drinks and serving food to the counter dwellers. I had a nice black n tan and a huge plate of Shepherds Pie. Both were excellent as was the service."

Nick's Food To Go

★★★★☆ 4.3 (401)

"Always a great visit. The food is fantastic. This is one of those places you can bring a first-timer and they'll probably come back on their own within the week."

THAT Burger Spot! #1-Riverdale

★★★★☆ 4.2 (420) • $

"Wow. I can't believe I took so long to visit this spot. Let me start by saying... this is one of the best burgers I have ever had. EVER. I had been saying that I was going to check out one of their locations forever now, but was finally in the Riverdale area after visiting my mechanic and knew it was time. I was starving by the time I pulled into the huge plaza lot that the biz sits in. There were several parking spaces so I assumed that there were not many guests going to be in front of me. When I walked in, I immediately liked the setup. There were beautiful murals dedicated to Atlanta and Atlanta greats on the walls, music, movie posters and more adorning the space. I knew they didn't have indoor dining, but I didn't expect the ordering procedure. Instead of ordering at the counter like most spots, the biz has two machines setup where you can order your own meal with a few taps. I LOVED this process!! I'm indecisive and like being able to take my time to check out the entire menu, play around with my toppings, etc. without holding up the line.I ended up ordering a single burger topped with pepperjack cheese, grilled onions + jalapenos + mushrooms, bacon, and an egg. I also ordered a drink and a side of their cranchy fries + extra sauces. About 5min or so after ordering, I was given a drink cup and I feel like maybe I waited 10-15min in total for my order. It didn't feel long at all, I may be adding on a few minutes BUT either way, any minute was worth it. I could see and smell them preparing my meal from scratch in the back, it smelled SO good in there! After that little wait time, a young lady came from the back and handed me my food.I won't lie friends. That meal didn't even make it out of the parking lot. I was praying that people driving by didn't see me scarfing that baby down. It was all so fresh! I tackled the fries first. I liked them, but think that I'll go with another flavor next time but let me tell you, they were yummy, super fresh, and they were super generous about the seasoning. I went for 24K sauce and the remoulade to dunk my fries in. The 24K is seriously GOLD and I'd like 3 bottles of it. The remoulade wasn't my vibe. Now, onto my burger. The bun was the first impression and what an impact it made. It was so soft and buttery, biting into it was heavenly. My burger was so delicious!! The toppings were plentiful, it was hot and fresh, the portions were amazing. I seriously can't express how much I enjoyed my meal and the experience. Can't wait to return!"

1911 Biscuits & Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (268) • $

"look i knew exactly what i was getting myself into when I saw that young man breading that chicken breast and it had a little reddish orange look to it. LOL IYKYK i am a country boy and my grandma would put that Lawrys (Laaaawwwwrrryyya) and Sazon on everything fried. It would have that same color to it. Biscuits are made fresh fluffy and melt in your mouth. I always get the potatoes but the grits are amazing. Very affordable and the extra star is they serve coffee from a local coffee shop nearby REV. You should go by and get some amazing coffee. As small business owners we have to support each other and keep finding ways to keep your community happy and thriving."

Village Burger - Tucker

★★★★☆ 4.2 (277) • $

"Order taker was VERY helpful and gave tons of suggestions options etc. Took a little too long with all the questions but at least they got it right and cared enough. Burger was wrapped in lettuce and very very good. The onion rings were ok. Not my preference of batter. Too crunchy vs smooth crisp but I imagine most people may enjoy tons of glutenous crunch. Its a good place for a quick bite."

THAT Burger Spot! #3-Jonesboro/Southlake

★★★★☆ 4.4 (250) • $$

"Known as the best burger spot in Atlanta with multiple locations, #1 is in Riverdale and I visited #3 in Jonesboro. I came around noon on a weekday and it was about a 15 minute wait with an online order,  this place wasn't busy inside but customers were frequently coming to pick up their To-go orders. Definitely recommend placing the order online if you're in a rush. There is no seating inside or outside so be prepared to eat in your car or drive home. I had a 20 minute drive home and the burger was still fresh, hot and so yummy. Service - everyone I interacted with was friendly. Even while they were working the grill they still acknowledged you. Bag was packed with napkins and ketchup. Food - I had the impossible burger and my oh my it was so GOOD..... it was seasoned like a home cooked burger on the grill, and had so much flavor. Best veggie burger OTP!! I like that I could personalize it because it was perfection. I had the Cajun crinkled fries and thought they were okay, they looked like they were going to be fire but something was missing.  I had to dip it in the sauce for extra flavor. They also have items for pescaterians, vegans, and of course,  carnivores. They have two locations in Atlanta so I'm definitely planning on returning soon to try some of their other vegetarian items."

The Original J.R. Crickets in Midtown Atlanta

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (467)

"Been in person several dozen times to this location, the wings are some of my favorite in the city. Service can be slow slow sometimes here but I love coming here to grab wings."

Wheelhouse Craft Pub And Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (214) • $$

"Wheelhouse Pub is ok with me. We stopped in not expecting much but a few decent drinks and some small bites but after looking at other reviews we decided to try the menu. Maken cheese balls for starters, they need salt but they get an A for effort. The fish was cod. A very generous portion fried to perfection, accompanied with fries. The fish tacos were very tasty also. My baked potato could have been a little more "loaded" but all and all no complaints. A small private parking lot is here but I can't help to wonder what the situation is when they get a big crowd. Service was great. Thanks Mandy"

Emmy Squared Pizza - Glenwood Park

★★★★☆ 4.1 (258) • $$

"I love Emmy Squared and this location does a great job! I recently got a burrata and watermelon salad that had a fresh herb dressing that was absolutely delicious. I love their white pizza and add caramelized onions. It is always crispy, salty and gooey."

Little's Food Store and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (215)

"This is the second little hidden gem that I hv found since being in Georgia. I usually try to post pictures with my reviews, but it was so darn good when I opened the box I ate one onion ring and just kept on going lol! The lady at the counter was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the cabbage town cheeseburger and onion rings!! And let me tell you it was so good!!!!! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The next time I go I will post pictures and add them to this post! But definitely a must try!!!!"

Melton's App & Tap

★★★★☆ 4.1 (246) • $$

"Great service, cute local ambiance, great food and drinks. Nothing to complain about. Excited to finally have a good large pretzel that was freshly made! Their burger was amazing! Smokey, fresh, great medium temperature, sauce was good- overall very pleasant exp! Will be back"

Hero Doughnuts & Buns

★★★★☆ 4.3 (222) • $$

"A ton of delicious donut shops are popping up in Atlanta but Hero is definitely my HERO. When Hero moved into Summerhill, I was skeptical about a donut chain coming into Atlanta - and boy was I wrong. I love a soft brioche donut and Hero Doughnuts are definitely soft and fluffy. Grab a kolache (jalapeño is my fave!) or a homewood donut (strawberries and creme is a classic combo). Parking is available in the back and on the street, but there's also plenty of free public parking all around Summerhill. PRO TIP #1: cinnamon rolls are only available on Saturdays, so get them before they sell out! PRO TIP #2: they've got mimosas and aperol spritzes for $7 on the menu on weekends which is the perfect way to start the day with a donut. Can't wait to stop in again for more brioche donuts and brunch cocktails soon!"

WR Social House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (307) • $$

"Have had a great experience both times I've dined here for lunch! They have great lunch specials. I tried the Grilled Chicken Avocado Wrap as well as the Greek Salad Wrap. Both are amazing, and the standout was the Greek Salad Wrap. Their rosemary fries are also phenomenal. Friendly service and great ambiance right on the square."

Taco Pete

★★★★☆ 3.8 (237) • $

"Just reopened.. Stopped here for lunch and ordered shrimp quesadilla, cheese quesadillas and 2 beef tacos.. Everything was really good and fresh, and cooked to order.. Friendly staff but needs to work the kinks out of the operation stuff.. Gave me the wrong order and ended up giving me the right order, and came back to give me tacos sauce that was left out the bag.. Pretty good overall experience and definitely will be back again."

Atlanta Fish House & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (193) • $$

"I came to this location many years ago when they went by a different name. I didn't like it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and my coworker ordered it on DoorDash. I usually avoid fish at work because it just no way to stop people from saying it smells like fish. Drove pass today and it's like 30 cars in the parking lot and the outdoor seating area is packed so I pulled in. The line was out the door and strangely enough it doesn't smell like fish. Like most places the DoorDash prices and the in store prices range about $5-6 different. I got the fish combo which comes with 3pieces of fish, five shrimp, hush puppies and fries. It was phenomenal. I almost wanted to call them and say y'all a thousand times better than that other place use to be. There is seating inside for those waiting to pick up but if you wanna eat here it's three tables outside but one of those were being used by someone waiting to pick up also so be prepared to take it to go."

Emmy Squared Pizza - West Midtown

★★★★☆ 4 (202) • $$

"Wings, vegan pizza, clean restrooms, and good serviceFull time vegans, cover your eyes. I got you on the vegan pizza. There wings are worth it. I could do without the tip, but it was proof it was from a chicken. Those wings were HUGE!!! They bake them first then fry to order. They are phenomenal! And did I say there HUGE. Now, the vegan pizza. I was hesitant because of the large garlic bulbs. But it was so creamy and flavorful. It gave the wings a run for its money. Service was nice and laid back decor. I'll be back."

Flatiron Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (238) • $$

"To see Flatiron still here and thriving is a dope sight to see. I came here about 20 years ago when I was a kid and I remember vividly having some extremely hot wings. That memory alone brought me back years later. I ordered my food to go because it was about 8:30/9 on a Saturday so it was already lit. I ordered 10 Buffalo Wings ($14), curly fries ($4) and the Pablo Crusted Age Cheddar Mac ($6). Given that I called and ordered, I can't really give an exact time it was done but once I got there it was ready and seemed to be ready for a minute before I got there. Once I got back home to eat I was intrigued with how much food I got. The wings were nice in size, there was a huge portion of curly fries and the container my Mac came in was huge. The Buffalo wings weren't as spicy as I would've liked but the size of them made up for it. They were cooked very well. If they were a bit more spicy I would've gave them a perfect rating. The curly fries were delicious. Crispy, seasoned just right and it was a lot of them! I thoroughly enjoyed the Mac. The crusted age cheddar was just the beginning. Once i took a spoonful/ bite into the Mac I was introduced to that rich and flavorful cheddar cheese which was seasoned and hot. All in all, Flatiron has some amazing food and seems like a vibe inside the restaurant/ bar as well. I'll be back to get an experience inside next time."

THAT Burger Spot! #2- Jonesboro/Tara Blvd

★★★★☆ 4.4 (151) • $$

"I won't name any names however there are a number of spots in ATL that I will no longer visit After eating here. The food is slap somebody good ! I have ordered the Cajun fries , large every time even though it is not necessary. I also have tried the vegan cheese-steak , and the vegan traditional impossible burger . What I like about this place most is that they offer fresh toppings and the fries taste like actual potatoes . If you do not order ahead however be prepared to wait upwards of 35 minutes for your food . The average price per a person is about $21 after tax . Pro tips -order ahead - get the sauce on the side because they load the sandwiches heavily and it will be soggy by the time you get home - extra sauce is 27 cents so be aware - drinks are not included"

Toco Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (208) • $

"People were super friendly here and I enjoyed my lunch the other day. I tried the Mendel, which is the special potato knish with grilled pastrami. It was pretty tasty but very greasy/fried tasting. My friend had the shawarma fries, a big hot pile of messy goodness. I'm not a typical kosher eater but I do like Israeli food and a good pita/falafel. I think these guys do a pretty decent job at it, although it seems a bit pricey to me.Customer service was good, food comes quick, and they have a couple of tables outside and a nice screened in patio to enjoy dining"

Hamburger Mike's

★★★★☆ 4 (173) • $

"Oh my ....i just left this place with my son! Where do I start. This has the home town family owned feel. Great fast customer service. Prices are just right and the food is made fresh to order! You can't ask for anything else. I got the 1/2 pound Hangry burger with cheese and crispy bacon. They cook the burger too your temperature you like and ask if you want crispy bacon. Then once your food is done you get the put the dressing on yourself. I definitely will be back! This is definitely a must go to spot! I love places like this!"

Mikie's Big Burger

★★★★☆ 4 (171)

"This was our first time going to Mikie's because I was in the area and I will say It did "NOT" Disappoint. The burgers were huge and at a great price. DEFINITELY!! !!!! worth the drive to try it out. I had the 1lb turkey burger combo which came with fries and a drink. I give this place 10/10 on the taste menu. I will be going back for sure whenever, I'm in the McDonough area again."

Creatwood Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (273) • $$

"My son and I stopped off to watch the Alabama game on this ice cold windy evening, the place was extremely cozy and welcoming. We ordered the nachos and Caesar salad with added chicken, my son said that the nachos were pretty basic and my Caesar salad was just that. We also ordered a margarita that was pretty good. Definitely a pretty cool spot to tale in a game or grab a quick drink. Service was good, prices were good, parking is in a lot, shared with other businesses and the restaurant was pretty clean. There will definitely be a return visit."

Rhea's 2

★★★★☆ 4 (153)

"We came to Rhea's for lunch on a Friday afternoon around 1:30pm. It wasn't busy which was great because we sat down right away and were helped right away! For those that care about the kind of ice a restaurant has, they had crushed ice which honestly made my day. We all ordered some variation of a cheese burger at the restaurant. I got the Jimmy's Special and we ordered large fries to share for 3 people. The large fries weren't that big which is my only complaint so would definitely get one more but the cheeseburger was delicious! The food came super quick and the employees were amazing. The Texas toast on the burger was great. Prices weren't bad, but the menu on here was different than the one in the restaurant so it was more expensive than we anticipated but otherwise totally worth it!!"

US Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (234) • $$

"Cool lil-bit divey spot on S Cobb in the mysterious Smyrna area.V casual setup, walk in, go right to register if dining in, place order, then go sits somewhere's inside. :) After 10 - 15 min they call yo name; and u go pick up foodnsit.Very spacious interior with multiple seating areas w bout 6 TVs placed all round.Might wait a bit depending on the night.Be prepared to chill Fri/ Sat nights as they look overwhelmed sometimes. Otherwise, their service orders get out quickly.Boneless wings, burgers (10 choices, see Black Bean), & quesadillas pretty standard and popular here. Their Atomic spice level is very 'picey, tasty, and Hott.Jalapeño poppers r v good; gofer If needing a change."

Burger Win

★★★★☆ 3.8 (165)

"I've been eating at Burger Win for oh... almost ten years now. It's a solid American Chinese food joint and my go to if I want Curry Laksa in town. I believe the owners are Malaysian and I really like their Malaysian dishes like curry laksa, Singapore noodles, chicken samosas, char kway teow, and I have yet to try their malacca dishes (thing to note to try) but I'm pretty sure it's fantastic. They also sell Chinese donuts which are increasingly harder to find at Chinese take out joints. It's a solid choice to get Chinese or Malay take out at 7pm or at 2am :)"

Yo! Chef What's Cooking?

★★★★☆ 4.1 (139) • $$

"Very tasty food! Shout out to this place for being open so late with such tasty food. Located in a busy shopping center with a fun night life. You go inside and order your food on the screen. The workers are mostly in the back unless they are bringing your food out. The sitting is like picnic style with cool art on the way. The pasta portion size is huge. I got an entree and was disappointed but the portion size so will not order again. The wait was a little lengthy but I think you can order ahead. The price is like restaurant $$$ so depending on your budget... do what is best for you lol I would eat here again but try something else that is not an entree."

Wing Factory

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (211) • $$

"This restaurant was walking distance from my hotel so I gave it a try. They have a full bar and a large dining area. I ordered hot lemon pepper wings and fries and a drink. The food was made to order and was piping hot. The wings were cooked perfectly to my liking and had the right amount of flavor. The fries were hot and tasty as well. The young lady working the bar was not very attentive. It wasn't very busy, but she was more preoccupied with her phone than with the few customers at the bar. The food was good so it was a good choice for a quick bite to eat."

Xi’an Gourmet House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (118) • $$

"Fantastic biang biang noodles! Don't expect anything fancy from this spot - it's simply good food that's efficient and worthy. We came at lunchtime and there were barely any tables available. There isn't too much seating inside, but they do have space. You can order on the kiosk, or with a cashier.I got the spicy beef noodles, which was absolutely amazing. The beef was tender, flavorful, and so good with the sauce. They were also super generous with the portion size. For the biang biang noodles themselves, the texture was absolutely spot on - thick and wide and chewy, which held onto the spicy savory sauce so well. I also loved how there was a good amount of vegetables inside too.I would definitely recommend this spot, and am so glad I got the chance to try it! Might be some of my favorite biang biang noodles ever."
