Had the wild goat cheese sammie with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and balsamic drizzle on panini and it was very tasty although a bit small for the cost. It came with a side of chips or, for an up charge of $1 a choice of something else; I chose the slaw and it was about a quarter cup's worth. My friends had the nachos and the flatbread and both were good. Two of them had beers and they both said they were good. Noise level was pretty high, but it's really geared toward the drinking crowd, so it's expected. Wait staff is really nice and friendly. Nice place! read more

I went to the Vortex Bottle Shop for a group outing and we had a great time! The servers were extremely welcoming and so nice! When you go in and get seated, you can simply grab what you want from the cooler and they will come up to you to open up your tab for food and drinks and offer a glass to pour your drink into. I had the Strawberry Fields salad that was really good! I was not a huge fan of the croutons because they were harder than expected, but overall, the salad was delicious and refreshing! I was told they have a pretty good brunch, so I definitely plan on returning for that! I highly recommend this place if you want to hang out with friends, have some good drinks, and a good time! read more

We come here for Sunday brunch so often because it's incredible every time! The mimosa flights change each week and they're amazing every time and I always get the Holy Ghost Sammie and it just gets better every single time. I'm glad they're expanding because more people need to know about this place. Oh and their bathrooms are always immaculate! read more

This is for a very specific foodie. Have you ever had something so good that it made you mad? Yeah, that was me at Vortex Bottle Shop. The back of the house team knows what's going on--EVERYTHING was delicious. (Not pictured: kicking' chicken flatbread). Atmosphere: Vortex is a tap house, bottle shop, and restaurant. 5/5 concept. Please expect a short wait. Staff is low, but friendly. They both had great reccs. Food: 5/5. I have no notes...it was that good. I have full faith in any item on their menu, and I look forward to trying more. From the tapas to entree and dessert, we left completely in awe. (And mad because the meal is over LOL) read more

Review #2, wow improvements to an already amazing menu. We moved away, but so glad we stopped at vortex bottle shop for a lunch, while we were visiting back to our old stomping grounds. The burrata is as good as any I've had in New York City. They still have the staples that I love such as the chickenhawk, cauliflower crust flatbread, and a few few other new items to check out. This place is worth a visit anytime you're in Concord or Charlotte area North Carolina . read more

What an amazing little shop! I have passed it plenty of times since not too far from work, but I thought only sold wine bottles. One day I decided to just google em and not was I surprised at the food offering, so told myself I'd go for lunch one day and I finally made it in. Menu isn't huge, but trust me everything on it, you're gonna want to eat it all lol. I couldn't decide between the BLT and wings so I got both lol. That had to have been the best BLT I've ever had. Pickled green tomatoes with fresh red ones just set it off. Bacon was cooked to perfection. Not wimpy but not burnt. Just right. That sandwich was so dang good! And I did try one wing while there, I got the Cajun garlic Parmesan and my goodness, the delish factor is thru the roof! They said they make it in house, well please give the chef my regards because it was heavenly! The staff was very friendly as well, and my waitress told me if I like the wing sauce to come back for brunch on Sunday because they use that sauce in the shrimp and grits. Say no more! I will be back! Lol read more

Wow!! I am amazed at how great the food was at Vortex. Erin our waitress was AMAZING! She created such a friendly and relaxed environment for us, gave us recommendations, and was very efficient through all of our service. She mentioned their brunch menu being incredible, so I will definitely be returning in a Sunday to enjoy it. I grabbed the Fiery Chicken Pimento Melt with the Street Corn Salad as my side. I highly recommend this dish, and I wish I captured better photos. If only I had known how memorable this meal would be! read more

Offline Charlotte took me to Vortex Bottle Shop located in Harrisburg. I tried  the Buffalo Vortex Wings. They do not fry anything. The wings were oven roasted and the were really good. Nice crispy skin and a robust buffalo flavor. I would definitely order wings from here again.   I also tried the Blackened Shrimp and Artichoke Dip. It came with toasted slices of crostini. The flavor was boosted by roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese.  I really enjoyed this dish.  So Vortex Bottle shop has a variety of wines and beers that you can try. I didn't partake in any bottles,  due to engagements afterwards. From the atmosphere and the food and the great vibe, I will definitely return for a  second experience. Check them out. #GratuityAdded #VortexBottleShop #charlottesgotalot #OfflineCharlotte #harrisburgNC #artichokedip #supportlocal #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #followforafollow  #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt  #NewEats  #charlottefood #leapyear #cltfood #cltfoodie  #foodie #charlotteeats  #charlottefoodscene  #cltfoodbloggers  #ladiesnight #cltwings #charlottefoodies   #cltwine #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda read more

This is my favorite restaurant, by far, in Harrisburg. I drove past a few times because I don't drink beer and wasn't sure what a "bottle shop" would serve for food. The menu is large enough to please everyone, but I especially enjoy the shrimp & artichoke dip, burrata antipasto salad (pictured), pimento cheese (pictured), flatbreads, and brunch specialties. Service is friendly and professional. read more

Thanks Offline for having this hidden gem on the list! Went on a Friday evening and sat at the bar. It was pretty busy but the staff was very attentive! Nice open floor plan with outdoor seating. I ordered the shrimp dip as an appetizer. I would return on the strength of this alone! It was delicious!! I also had the dipper sandwich and the salad. The salad was light and refreshing. So good! I tasted the sandwich while I was there and it was also good. I will definitely be back! read more

This was a pleasant discovery not too far from UNC Charlotte. I'm always on the lookout for great wings and you can find them here, along with a host of other great food items like nachos and shrimp dip. Very tasty and reasonably priced. I also love the wine and bottle options. They carry the 1911 ciders that I enjoy so much! Service is great (when I went, we were in a large group and they more than accommodated us), and the ambiance is everything you want in a laid-back, welcoming and unpretentious eatery. Vortex can be anything from casual or date-night vibes and I'm here for it. read more

This little gem is Harrisburg is perfect for happy hour and lunch or a quick date night as well! The food is surprisedly delicious! I got the grilled chicken wrap and it was perfectly toasty and the ingredients are fresh! The servers were very knowledgeable of their product and offered some great suggestions for drinks. read more

Staff was amazing! Great beer special & selection and the Cubans sandwich was delicious!

Our first visit, and we're already big fans! The staff was friendly and attentive, the food exceeded expectations, and their extensive beer and wine selection added to the great visit. Our order included the Lil Dipper, Kickin Chickin flatbread, BBQ chips with ranch, and tomato soup. The homemade chips with ranch and the tomato bisque soup are absolute must-tries and make excellent sides. Honestly, I can't find a single flaw--it was all delicious. Excited to explore more of their menu on our next visit! read more

This place used to be really good. I ordered from Uber this weekend and ordered a salad with chicken. The salad was delivered with no chicken, but I was charged xtra for chkn. I ordered the pimento cheese with tortilla chips. The chips that were delivered were crumbs like they were at the bottom of the bag. Will not be ordering from here again. just because it's Uber Eats, doesn't mean we're not still customers. Do better. read more

We stumbled upon this place when we first moved back to the area and it has been a favorite. We've never had a bad meal here. The wings are hands down my favorite item on the menu but the short rib and grits, chicken/gravy biscuit and the chicken and waffles are our favorite brunch items. Speaking of brunch I truly do not understand how this place isn't slammed at brunch every Sunday! It opens at 10 and we have never waited to be seated. They have amazing brunch and mimosa flights plus tons of beer and wine options. What's cool about vortex is that their kitchen is so small they only keep things on the menu that sell, so if they try something and people don't like it, it's gone. And the stuff that you love always stays. The service is always great and the playlists are bumpin. This is one of our favorite spots. read more

Tried Vortex for the first time on a girls night out. Like other reviews have mentioned, the food is delicious, especially for a bottle shop. We had the nachos, shrimp and artichoke dip, caprese salad sandwich with tomato soup, the big dipper sandwich, and a toffee cake dessert. Jake was a fantastic server. read more

Cool little spot in Harrisburg when you want a good draft and some quality tapas. Cheesy flatbread was yummy and my wings were cooked just right. I recommend the Thai basil sauce. They have lots of local beers to choose from and even some that you can take home with you if you so choose. We will definitely be heading back to Vortex bottle shop soon. read more

Vortex Bottle Shop - Flatbread - Beer Bar Near Me - Harrisburg, North Carolina

This is a fabulous location, very friendly staff and even walked over to the grocery to set me a few sliced lemons for my water. This place would be perfect if they offered freshly brewed iced tea sweetened and unsweetened, some hamburgers and grilled chicken sandwiches and French fries plus had low top tables. Some of us eat a little less fancy and are too old for high tops. Otherwise the flat breads are very very good!! read more

A nice place for some a great variety of local beers on tap and a cooler full of wine. Their menu is small, but offers a variety of salads, flat breads and sandwiches. They are small so get there early to get a table! read more

This is our second time to Vortex, The first time we were invited to have dinner with some friends. We were impressed, so we decided to try their brunch later. Our brunch visit on a Sunday was outstanding also. The staff was super friendly. The recommended mimos flight was a nice touch and the food we ordered was great. They use real glasses, not plastic (something I really like and to me tells the quality of what to expect) My only suggestion to the restaurant would be to upgrade their silverware (fork prongs should not bend and the looked like something in a lower quality restaurant, not here) read more

We came back from the 1 star experience and it was exactly what we expected! Wife had the veggie burger and was happy. I tired the strawberry caprese flatbread +chicken and it was excellent. Nice beer from a mooresville brewery. Foot traffic was light for a Friday night which was perfect! read more

We walked in. We were immediately greeted. We sat ourself. Within minutes a very friendly server introduces herself and takes our drink orders. She promptly returns with our drinks and takes our food orders. I look at the coolers stocked full of beer, wine, and a few soft drinks while I wait on my food. My food comes out. The order is correct. The food is warm. The food is delicious. My server kept checking on me. This is how it's supposed to work! Yay. The place is clean. They have a 99.5 sanitation grade posted above the register. My server was genuinely sweet and a very good server. I ordered The Triple X flatbread. It was super. I will certainly be returning here. read more

I've been here multiple times and I have never had a bad meal! Pros: The food is fresh, delicious, and original, not the same old food you'd get most other places, and they always have a large variety of beers, and like the food it's not the same-old-same-old beers like most other places! Additionally, the staff is always helpful & friendly! Cons: The only Con I can think of is that they're food prices are a little on the high side for causal dinning, but honestly you get what you pay for and the food is fresh and delicious so you have to expect to pay a little more for that, so my only Con, really isn't a Con but more of a FYI. I'll keep coming back again & again as long as the standards don't drop. read more

I've been here twice in the last 2 months for Sunday brunch. The drink selection is extensive, and the service is friendly. On Sundays they are limited to their brunch menu and I will say the food is on the spendy side, but definitely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. Both times I ordered the mimosa flight and I was pleased to see the juices rotated and weren't stagnant. I'm a person who loves to try new things! I will say that the less adventurous eaters struggled a little to order. Didn't apply to me! I'll be back. read more

The Sunday morning brunch was so good! So many appealing options! Their pimento cheese in my dish was very good. The mimosa flight was fun and very good! Tons of beer selections and fun to look at all different kinds. The Sunday morning brunch didn't have any salads or healthier options for someone trying to follow a diet. I can't wait to go back to try my next choice! read more

Exciting and flavorful food that is unexpected! The kickin' chicken flatbread is a delightful explosion of flavor. Tons of options for beer and wine. We've been back several times and the staff is always on top of service and regular rounding- and they have great recommendations if you are unable to make up your mind. Outside seating is perfect for when we want to chill with our little pooch. Five stars! read more

Excellent amount of selections from beer to wine even some sodas. Menu may be small but the food is amazing. Living less than 8 mins from here makes it an great choice for dinner or after work drink. The pretzels are large enough to split and the pimento cheese is very delicious. It can be found on many items on the menu. They have rotating taps as well as bottles and cans. Indoor and outdoor seating,plus enough room for a get together! A must try whether you're a local or not! read more

The food is terrific and beer selection is excellent. Be prepared to wait for a table on weekends. Wait staff is attentive and kind - the only drawback is that ambient noise can be loud if you're sitting inside. read more

The worst place I have ever been to and only place I had to walk out without ordering. 1) No menus 2) Refuses to put prices on wine bottles. Wine is $10 more than the Wine Vault in University City. 3) Very uncomfortable. All high table tops. 4) Head banging type music 5) Food was similar to Fast food restaurant food. Do not good. This is the only bad review that I have, ever, ever, written. read more

The bartender Ashley was especially attentive and added to the great experience! Fun environment

We went adventuring for the day in Harrisburg/Concord area and stumbled upon the Vortex Bottle Shop. I so very much so wish this was closer because we would be there all the time. The bartender was friendly and very kindly gave us a free beer as the one my husband ordered kicked the keg. They had a lot of Wilmington beers on tap at the time and it was easy for us to find something we liked. We also perused the can and bottled beer and found some new ones we hadn't seen before. We got the baked Brie and bacon jam I think it was with delicious crostini's. It was the perfect place to visit on a rainy afternoon. Can't wait to visit again. read more
