Such a great Austin burger joint! The atmosphere has an authentic, laid back vintage vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. There was a bit of a wait because the line was hopping, but once we ordered, the food came out surprisingly fast. I got the classic homestyle cheeseburger & fries with a cold big red, and it hit the spot. It was juicy, nostalgic, and done right. If you love classic burger joints with tons of character, this is a must visit. read more

Never been here since I'm not from here. Only heard it was historic. Not picky and did not complain to them, but the burger was kinda cold dry and the cheese wasn't melted. Maybe I was expecting and greasy juicy mess. read more

Eating at Dirty Martins is one of the few things that makes me feel alive again. I walk in through the iron doors, basking in the heavenly scents that surround me while I wait to place my order; Delicious burgers on the grill, perfectly crisp fries in the fryer, Already i'm feeling alive again. It only gets better once my food comes out; a burger, decorated with lettuce, ketchup, and mustard; all with perfect amounts on the beautifully cooked burger. The customer is beyond compare, they make me feel like i'm truly part of the Dirty Martin family; always getting my order correct, never making me feel like a nuisance when I don't have everything figured out. I'm always saddened when I find it time I must leave this established burger joint known as Dirty Martin, they really hold a special place in my heart. read more

Awesome college hangout burger place in Austin Tx. I got a Kumback Cheeseburger basket with Tots and a Chocolate Malt. I should have gotten a double. It was still very good! Highly recommended. read more

Very good basic burger and fries. Hubs had the chili burger and the chili on it was very nice! Not super spicy like Tex Mex chili, but not super wimpy like most restaurant's burger chili. Dirty Martin's was definitely an appropriate name - absolutely a college hangout type of place so not fancy, but I'd definitely go back. The front of the building , where there is a single table to sit at, ends in a point sticking out in the corner between two streets so you could really sit and enjoy the traffic going by. read more

I love taking out of town guests to Dirty Martin's or fellow staff members who don't know the lore. The food is always solid, handcrafted drinks are refreshing and the history that surrounds you makes you feel like a instant local. Great people watching and a game is always on. read more

We went to the game and it was 90+ degrees outside. We couldn't get an uber or Lyft so decided to start walking. I came in ready to faint. I was dehydrated and struggling to breathe. A kind worker saw me and came with a big glass of ice water. That was incredibly kind and thoughtful. The food was great as always the fried jalapeños ... delicious. It brought by me back to life... not to quote Evanescence. read more

My pitcher of beer tasted rank, Like spoiled milk from a septic tank. One mistake, that's not too bad, Cuz I'm an understanding lad. Surely the next will be just fine, But no! It sucked! It should be a crime. Of course the third one also stank, What kind of bar can't fix a drank? Must be something broken with the nozzle, Went to the bar to get a bottle. Waited too long and left the bar, Hoping to get away, so far! Left me feeling filled with rancor, Went down the street to crown and anchor! P.S.--wings were good though read more

Amazing place!! We had the Kum Back burgers in two sizes, small and large. The small was the perfect size for me, and my boyfriend loved the double patty large burger. The service at the counter was friendly, and food came out very fast. We also had the pleasure of meeting the cook that has worked here for 30 years! We ate in the burnt orange room that had great Longhorn memorabilia and lots of great things to look at. Awesome vibe. It's the 100th year anniversary this year, and we see why. The onion rings were outstanding!! We have never had better. The batter was light and they were sliced thin for maximum flavor. Can't wait to go back, maybe tomorrow!! read more

We loved it. I've always wanted to try this place. It's been on my bucket list for 15 years. Tomorrow is .y girls 4th birthday and she wanted a cheeseburger ...since we were downtown to see the flex capacitor aka wishbone bridge complex...it was the perfect pairing. Loved this afternoon for all of us. Always wanted to go to UT but I knew I could never afford it. Even bk in the 90s. But dining here I can feel just how cool it might have been. Super sweet staff too. We were greeted upon entry...and the girl that brought us our order offered to help us get a knife to cut a big burger in half for my 3 and 5y to share. Highly recommend. A staple in the drag for a reason. read more

I want to give 5 stars so this place stays here forever but man the food was just not good. The buns were stale, the burgers were cold and tasted like the frozen patties from Costco. The nachos were cold. The only hits were the onion rings and the milkshake, it was awesome. The service was great! They were super nice at the counter. One of the guys interacted with my kids which I thought was sweet. Sometimes I feel like people, especially around campus, are annoyed by children but they were so sweet. The inside is old and run down but that's part of the charm. read more

If you're in Longhorn country and craving a burger wrapped in grease and nostalgia, Dirty Martin's still hits in all the right ways. Walk in and you'll immediately feel you've stepped into something old and genuine. The walls are heavy with UT gear, sports paraphernalia, and the kind of bar-lights that don't pretend to be fancy. It's loud, it's greasy, it's cramped in spots, and it's perfect. The burgers are what you expect, nothing gourmet or pretentious. Thinner patties that are juicy, a little fatty, really what a classic greasy burger should be. Sides are also what you'd expect: onion rings, fried pickles, fries or tots. I got sweet potato fries! The drinks run from beer to margaritas. Service is friendly. Order at the counter, find a seat (inside, outside, patio, whatever), and expect a no-frills good time. The charm is the history. This place has been around since 1926, born as Martin's Kum-Bak with a dirt floor (yes, really). It's one of those joints that Austin might regret losing someday. read more

I mean, what can you say about a place that's been slinging burgers for almost a century now? They have their burgers, fries and onions rings on lock. If you get your burger with bacon, they make the bacon nice and crispy and slap two, thick slices on your burger. Their onion rings? Some of the best around, hands down. And fries - whether you opt for the sweet potato or regular fries, you won't be disappointed: crispy and chewy at the same time. Tots? Perfectly crispy and just melt in your mouth. What the hell is there not to love? read more

We went here for their birthday party and had so much fun! First of all the margaritas were only $4! We got in line and ordered a burger and onion rings, and I got a veggie burger with tater tots. They had free cake and mini milkshakes for their birthday. It was so fun and funny. This was absolutely the cheapest meal we've had in Austin. I want to say everything was only $5 each. The onion rings were sooo good! I would definitely get those again. Even my veggie burger was good - I was surprised they even had a veg option. Really friendly servers. You could tell everyone was having a fun time with the party hats on. It was absolutely packed - we got there early luckily. They have on site parking. Old school burger spot that reminded me of somewhere I would have back home in Pittsburgh. read more

Solid food, great service and atmosphere. An Austin institution! I'll be back, can't wait.

Dirty Martin's has been a fixture in Austin since 1926, and it's easy to see why. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, the fries were crispy and hit the spot! The service was quick and friendly. Definitely recommend this place for comfort food done right. Sticky floors and all, I can't wait to go back. read more

My dad went here when he was at UT. I went here when I was at UT. I lived across the street for most of my time there. This place is Austin. There are so few things about this city that retain the classic Austin vibe or offer the familiar experience that Dirty's does. And they make my favorite burger anywhere. My dad used to joke that he always judges a restaurant by the quality of their tots. He was thinking of Dirty's when he said it. They win there too. But I usually get the onion rings instead. read more

One of the iconic Austin restaurants that is still standing. Good ole burger and onion rings. If you are visiting Austin, you don't want to miss. Sooner or later, all of our iconic restaurants will be goners and new expensive modern ones will take over, unfortunately. read more

What can I say about Dirty Martin's that hasn't been said before? I don't understand the lower rated reviews. I think some folks just don't get the concept of this legendary burger joint. I've never had a bad meal or drink here. The onion rings are cooked in a batter that's makes them not too heavy and not too light. On top of all of the good food, it's pretty cool when the employees chat you up and sincerely what to have conversation. Even when they're super busy! read more

Well this is a place that delivers year after year. Many college students cut their teeth here when they started at UT. Very casual burger joint. Burgers are greasy (the way they should be) and tender delicious. Parking sucks but hey....you are downtown Austin ordering a piece of Austin history...suck it up and enjoy that burger. Staff is also Super Nice! read more

Dirty Martin's (not to be confused with Dirty Sanchez - totally different thing) is a must visit while in Austin. I got the double burger and fries...

This place is pretty awesome!! We try to make it once a month at least. Burgers are ALWAYS amazing but today I decided to venture into other menu items and I was not disappointed. Their fried jalapeños are perfectly battered and is something I order every time as well. Decided to try their BLT today and it is honestly the best one I've ever had. Perfectly buttered toast, correct ratios of every topping too. Also added a chocolate shake and it did not disappoint. They also have $10 mimosa carafes on Saturdays and what seems to be an awesome mixed drink list to choose from. It's a great place to watch the game on all their tvs too. Well worth the drive to the drag from any place in town. Definitely an Austin original. Support local ya'll. read more

The food, the service, and definitely the ambiance makes 'Dirty's' THE place for an authentic smash burger in Austin. I started going weekly, either Saturday or Sunday *late* morning, depending on the weekend ;) to get a dose of vitamin "g" [grease] to cure what ailed me. I cannot recommend highly enough the DH Special, add bacon. It will be the best pattymelt you ever experience. And you would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not accompany that with either onion rings or french fries. To quote a wise man from the 1900's, I pity the fool who doesn't go to Dirty's! read more

I have finally found my favorite burger spot in Austin! This place, while having a small menu, has enormous taste!! I ordered the double cheeseburger with a fried egg and it was PERFECT! The egg was cooked perfectly so it wasn't dripping down the burger, the patty was cooked great and filled with flavor all while being not too salty. It got a side of Jalapeño ranch and it was so spicy! I loved it, definitely one of my favorite places for the ranch. The Dirty Tatchos were a little small, but that was no problem. From the first bite I was hooked! I don't know what seasoning they used on the mean but everything mixed together; the meat, the tater tots, the cheese, it was so good!. The friend pickles with ranch were good but they tasted so much better in the spicy ranch. The onion rings were not a little thin and that was perfect. Most places I've been to have onion rings that are breaded so much and it's like I taste nothing but the batter but not these. So good! When you walk into the place, you get in line and they have a menu placed in front of you to check out and it goes pretty quick. The cashier was super friendly and answered our questions. I'll definitely be coming back to this place and you guys should too!! read more

It's a classic, and Capital Metro should be ashamed of themselves for even threatening to knock it down. Dirty's is 97 years old and still going strong. The burger is as you would expect, a well cooked and no frills experience that meets all expectations. It hasn't changed in the 23 years I have lived here. Make sure to add some grilled onions, it takes the whole thing to eleven. The onion rings are a little too greasy, but I wasn't coming here for health food. Oh, and the people that work here are always incredibly nice. Perfect for families. read more

This is right now my favourite burger place in Austin. Call it nostalgia or not but I had a revisit after a decade and it feels like tradition to go. The burger was rich with flavor and perfectly salted. I could take a bath in the onion rings. read more

Atrocious game day experience. First off, when we ordered the person taking our purser screwed up so bad we had to reorder our entire groups meal twice. Then, we tried to order from the bar and an extremely disorganized and rude bartender told us to order from our table instead because she was "behind on tickets" maybe be better at your job? What is the point of having a bar with seats if him can't order directly from the bartender? Then, all of our food came out missing sides. And to top it off, all our food came out twice. Extremely disorganized and we will NOT be returning. read more

Wowzers. I took a few out of state friends here last week and they chatted with the counter person as we left and they said they get $2.13/hour. WTF? I know servers do but counter workers too, is this new. I was shocked. I love this place and I brought friends here to support them and then I find out that... WHAT! I miss the servers coming up to tables or the counter to sit up. The chefs still serve it up and the ONION rings are the best thing ever! Sweet potato fries are great with marshmallow fluff I hear. read more
