Editorial Review for Dirty Martin's Place – by James Scott Bankston
In Short
Opened in 1926, Dirty's has long been a pilgrimage for visiting ex-Austinites as well as college students, blue-collar workers and a few old-timers who like joking around with the waitresses. The interior is basic burger stand: Formica counters, plastic booths, vinyl-topped stools, a foggy window looking out onto the Drag and framed, yellowed clippings and photos of famous patrons. The cooks prepare their small menu the classic way, with a deep-fryer and a large grill.

The wife and I ate at Dirty's for the first time and were suprised. Plenty of seating, parking was good and the burgers were delicious. We both had the O.T. Special (bacon cheeseburger) and some onion rings. The buns were cooked on the grill, nice and crispy, and the burgers were perfect. Plus the Lone Star was cheap and the misting fans on the patio helped cool the place off. Granted, it was early afternoon on a Saturday, and they were far from slammed, but the service was great and the food was better. Two burgers, a plate of onion rings and 4 Lone Stars for around twenty bucks. A+.
Pros: Good burgers, cheap beer.

Great small cheeseburger! But very pricey, $9 for a cheeseburger more the size of McDonalds cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. Better off at Dans or Hut's burgers.
Pros: good food
Cons: small portions for the price.
