Durty Gurt’s

Went here on a busy Saturday afternoon. The weather was gorgeous so Galena was busy. We had a 25 minute wait but it was well worth it. I ordered a regular burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was great, the bun was warm and the fries were perfect. My husband ordered a burger with egg on it (sorry I can’t remember the «official name») and he loved it! We live several hours away but will definitely go back next time we are in the area. Service was pretty quick and the restaurant is clean. Lots of fun stuff to read on the wall. We didn’t try one of the shakes but plan on doing so on our next visit.

My family was looking for a place to have lunch in Galena and this place fit the bill. They are mostly a burger and sandwich kind of place. They do have a good amount of variety for both burgers and the sandwiches. They offer chicken, beef, and fish sandwiches – so a lot of choices.
I ordered the Miami Melt which I thought was just okay. My dining partners really liked their meals though. I did like that you could get a side salad with your sandwich in lieu of fries or sweet potato fries. I just thought my sandwich lacked flavor and tasted sort of bland.
One person in my group ordered one of the old fashioned malts which he loved. If I go there again I would love to split one of those!

Walked over for dinner only to find out it was closed — 745pm on a Saturday night??? so disappointed…

Dirty Gurts consistently delivers. First time here 5 years ago, we remembered the fun vibe and came here first when we were back for a Galena visit. Everything they serve is great. Had the grouper and a Burger and the portobello mushroom appetizer — All very good! Service was great– love this place and it’s fun atmosphere!

This was a fun restaurant with great burgers! My favorite part of my whole experience was the atmosphere. I enjoyed walking around the building reading the different signs along the walls. It was also fun to see the kids pop their heads into the Durty Gurty photo cut out on the back wall of the restaurant. I ordered a regular burger with sweet potato fries. If you like sweet potatoes, then these fries are a must order!

I really wanted to give this place a higher rating. The inside is a pretty neat setting with vintage Chicago decorations. Our greeting by the manager was not very welcoming, rather a brass «how many?»
We ordered appetizers and drinks… The server came back to take our order, but as my wife was asking a question she turned and walked away saying she was paged. She came back a few minutes later with our appetizers. It seemed kind of rude.
We ordered off a menu of several custom burgers… but rather overpriced for what you get. Our meal came and we started in. For the most part it was good burgers with specialty toppings. The bacon on my son’s burger was nearly raw, but the server never came back until everyone was done. When it was mentioned, she shrugged it off and asked if we wanted to take it to go since it was a full sandwich. When we paid the manager never asked whether everything was okay.
Sometimes even good food is ruined by bad service.
