If you ask someone to think about what sort of food they’d want to eat if they could only eat one food for the rest of their life, burgers might be pretty high up on the list. After all, there’s such a wide variety of foods within that one simple label. “Burger” could refer to a gargantuan multi-patty tower of cheesy meat, or it could mean a tiny little two-bite slider. Nowadays, the term is even more broad, with restaurants offering up beef alternatives like turkey, chicken, meat substitutes, or even tuna. Whatever type of burger you prefer, we feel pretty confident in saying that you can get it in Georgia. It was a tough list to cull down, but we’ve gathered up five of our favorite burgers in Georgia that we think just so happen to also be among the best burgers in the South. Check them out:
- The Vortex: 438 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 | 878 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
Eric Berry/Google Maps This place is magical, especially if you love huge burgers. The Vortex is famous for its Quadruple Coronary Bypass, which is as massive as it sounds… It’s a 6.5-pound monstrosity that’s one of the largest food challenges in Georgia. The Vortex, 438 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, USA
Ferdinand Storm/Google Maps Don’t worry - if you’ve got a smaller appetite, there are plenty of smaller burgers here that are just as tasty and won’t run you thousands of calories!
- Sly’s Sliders and Fries: 1710 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401
Sly’s Sliders and Fries/Google Maps Going from one extreme to the other, you won’t find any massive burgers at Sly’s Sliders and Fries.
