Food is pretty good but vibes are what you go for though. Been around for almost one hundred years now. If you have gone to the University of Texas at Austin you have almost definitly eaten at Dirty's before.

An Austin tradition! Great burger and onion rings. DH Special can’t be beat.
This very nostalgic restaurant est. in 1926 had amazing food! We had the Val's grilled chicken sandwich with Chipotle mayo, onion rings, large Kumback burger with fries, wings, and root beer floats. All the food was super tasty! I would recommend paying at the counter and getting a number versus the QR code menu/pay option at the table. The corner room had multiple screens to watch all of the sports events happening that day with plenty of seating.

Just had lunch at Dirty Martin’s Place and it hit all the right nostalgic notes. I went with the Kum-Bak Cheeseburger and an order of homemade onion rings, and both were fantastic — burger was juicy with a lightly toasted bun, and the onion rings were crispy without being greasy. Also tried their Val’s homemade queso with chips — creamy, flavorful, and a great start to the meal.
The staff were super friendly and welcoming, chatting with us and making us feel at home. The whole place has that vintage, relaxed Austin vibe which really adds to the experience. Can’t wait to come back and try the Habanero Burger or dig into those Corn Nuggets next time.

Dirty Martin’s Place is such an Austin gem — I had the Kum-Bak Burger (stacked beef, “Dirty” sauce) with a side of crispy onion rings, and the combo hit all the nostalgic burger joint notes. Their milkshakes (strawberry & chocolate) are thick and classic — perfect with the savory grub.
The atmosphere is laid-back and full of history — old photos, local memorabilia, a real hometown feel. The staff were friendly and fast, making it feel like one of your favorite local spots even on first visit.

Every friday after payday, I always make a point to go get a double bacon, double patty, double cheese with no veggies to go... Sometime fries and a soda depending on how hungry i am. Have a Lonestar outside reading the newest Chronicle while waiting for the best burger in austin for the last almost 100 years. The employees are always in a great mood and the burgers come out exactly the way you hoped and expected! Go grab a Kumbak burger and a Lonestar with a date and you'll never forget a Dirty Burger 🤘🏽💚
The onion rings were so good I wrote home about them.

I used to take our kids here when they attended UT, between 2014 and 2021. Back then it was a restaurant with waitresses, the food was better, and far less expensive. Now you have to stand in line to order, and decide your mandatory tip starting at 17% before receiving your food. The buns were stale, and the portions were small. Other than that the food was OK.
