Vortex
Burger paradise. Here is the place you go to have a creative burger and an unusual hipster meets rockstar biker atmosphere. Hey, the place has Nacho-tots? How can you beat that. The burgers are delicious. We love the "Spanish Fly" burger (topped w/ ground chorizo and pepperjack cheese). You can have a "Hell Burger" ... so hot that they say "if you are a p----, don't order it." They also have a legedary "Triple Coronary Burger - aka: The Triple Stack. Yeah, we are scared of that one!
