Most Disliked
Some guests express frustration over the occasional wait time after placing orders, especially during peak hours. While the food is worth the wait, some diners find themselves impatient when hunger strikes. Others mention that the unique sauces, including the vertigo sauce, can be polarizing— you’ll either love them or not. Some patrons perceive the overall ambient noise as a bit loud due to the lively atmosphere, making it challenging to have quiet conversations. Lastly, for those who prefer traditional burger spots, Vertigo’s creative takes may feel outside their comfort zone.
While many appreciate the diverse menu options, a few customers find it overwhelming to choose from such a wide selection.

OK, OK, OK... I've always heard the best burgers in Tallahassee were from Vertigo, but I had never tried them until today. I was in a Burger mood, so I decided to finally walk through the doors and give them a try and I'm so happy that we did! These burgers were huge! They were juicy and absolutely delicious.. I can see for sure why they are the Number 1 recommendation in town for an amazing Burger. It was so filling, and I didn't even need any extra ketchup or anything - it was so good just by itself. I grabbed a Rewards card (you get a Burger FREE every 10 you buy) and stamped off the first two Burgers...and we can't wait to go back!

Great selection of burgers and salads that you can add protein to. On our visit we had the both beef and lamb burgers. Everyone was pleased with their choices and everything was cooked to the correct doneness. Vertigo will cook to medium unless you request otherwise.

Vertigo Burger is an excellent spot in Tallahassee for a burger and award winning fries. There is usually a bit of a wait after you order but the burgers are well worth it. I had the texican twist which was packed full of flavor and the burgers are cooked to a perfect medium. The sweet potato fries are to die for, I suggest the bacon Mayo sauce to go with them. The vertigo sauce tastes a bit like pickles, I am not sure what is in it but it is not bad. They are also great about gluten free with dedicated fryers and gluten free buns (celiac safe).

Best burger and fries place anywhere. All food is prepared fresh when ordering. Onion rings are to die for - seasoned perfectly. French fries are real sliced potatoes - believe me you can taste the difference. Just all around great service and well worth the drive from anywhere

Fantastic Burger/sides/toppings/sauce!!! The staff’s customer service was great from the moment we stepped in to the person who took out our trays. The sweet pot fries and bbq sauce were on point and so were the onion rings. We had a hiccup in our order and they fixed it quickly and without problem or hesitation. Would recommend and visit again!
