This smelled great from the outside so I went in. Staff: Eh was just okay. First time it was a nuisance to pay cash here as they only wanted card and it was constantly being brought up to me. Food: Chicken Sandwich: So good! Service took longer than I thought so I had to eat quick lol Overall: I'm sure the smells will brings you in here. read more

Dirty Burger - Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Now, shoreditch on a sunday morning: basically, the weekly english version of The Walking Dead: broken bottles, food remains, dogs walking on the roads and some zombies sleeping around the corner or slouching on Rivington Street. And me and my trolley coming back from flash trip in France. Hungry. Wonderful Scenario. No more than one month ago, I saw this new burger spot just a bun's throw from my house, and this sunday morning was just a perfect time for trying it! The location is really "Shoreditchean": the classical fancy underground place, falsely cheap, just a room with on-sight kitchen, and a counter on all sides with stools, that's it. And it really seems perfect for the zombie movie scenario described above. Now, when you get in what do you want? hopefully a burger. Which burger? Don't care, no choice. Cheeseburger, bacon burger or veggie thingy (hate veggie option in a burger place. eat burger or go somewhere else, damn it). Chips or onion rings, and a milkshake. stop. Now, I love small menus, but damn this is short! really short! It's better to be seriously good or damn we have some issues here! So how was it? Good, pretty good. We have a greasy, saucy burger with cheese and vegetables, but the best part is the bacon. My god, that's some serious thick burger, basically it's like having a pork belly steak over a burger, and it's damn delicious! My only issue is with the bread, as the burger is a bit too saucy for the soft bun, a bit like patty&bun but the result is a bit more soggy, maybe because the whole thing is cooked for more time under cover. Bad rate for the fries, too old. That's a mistake from the cook, not from the recipe, maybe things are better with other people. And I really want to try the rings next time. In the end, it's a good solid spot, I'd never go for the cheeseburger but rather have the bacon one, and I still have to test the fries. But in the end, when choosing I'd rather go for bukowski in the boxpark rather than here, more choice, more quality ingredients! read more

Dirty Burger - Ridiculously small menu, anyone?!? - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Nice small burger place. I had the "Not so dirty burger" which is the same cheeseburger as the "Dirty burger" but without the bun being buttered and grilled. The meat is tasty and well cooked. However, the bun is just a simple industrial bread not quite good which makes the burger itself only OK-ish. Overall it is not a bad place but there are many better burger joints where to go. Staff is friendly. read more

The burger was indeed dirty, with a glazed but suitably soggy bun, lots of relish with the crisp lettuce, some good tasting pickle and a beefy burger. The chips were excellent. Thoroughly crispy and fluffy on the inside. The service was a bit brutal though. A smile could have helped along with not looking at us like we were the idiots when they got the order wrong. Charmless I would say. It's small inside. Cobblestone floor, steel stools to perch on, not the place for lounging, but a good 'dirty' vibe to it none the less. Work on the service and it'll be pushing five stars. In the meantime, there is plenty of good competition who seem happier that you are there. read more

If you're looking for a step up from McDonalds but not willing to pay top pound, then this is your happy meal. I was disappointed upon ordering that their small menu was cut even further as I asked about their shakes (none were available), one of three beers listed was not available nor one of the food menu items. Nevertheless I went with the bacon burger with crinkle cut fries and a beer. Both delivered on hearty comfort food however slightly greasy. The burger was a good size with a thick cut bacon slice. Plenty of free condiments on the table. Fries were crisp and fresh. Space is limited so take away or prepare to wait. Not much of ambiance so not the best date spot. It's a good place to pop in after some drinks but there are better burger joints in the city. read more

Really good cheeseburger, not too big or small. All the toppings are quite enjoyable, the additional seasonings put on top aren't really a necessity. I will definitely return to Dirty Burger. read more

Dirty Burger is exactly what the name implies: A dirty, messy burger that you don't go to when you want a gourmet burger. You come to get this burger if you're in a hurry and need a quick lunch or dinner. Or if you're out drinking and you need some fortification to get you through the night. Or if you're hella hung-over and you need something greasy to get you through the morning. That's what this burger is about. I had the bacon burger with onion fries. The burger itself is really tasty, with a great mustard sauce and nice, thick bacon. For my taste, the burger itself is cooked too much. A burger should be medium-rare and this is more medium to medium-well. The onion fries are heavenly, like onion rings, just not in rings. And made with red onions, which are far superior in onion world. If I'm in the area and need a quick bite, I'd come back. I just wouldn't go out of my way go come back. read more

Dirty Burger - Inside and the menu - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Dirty Burger unlike Byron, Five Guys and Honest Burgers does things more downscale while having upmarket burgers like having a shackhouse setting with hard seats. I went for their recent addition "The Dirty Bird" which is a chicken burger with a tomato slice on top, salad and sauce. It tasted great, although some of the sauce did drip out the burger when eating it. You can watch your burgers being cooked and the smell does come your way while you're waiting so it makes you even hungrier. Their prices start from £5/6 for burgers and sides are £4. Drinks both soft and hard are available. They even do a £6 combo (burger and side) from Mon-Fri 12pm to 6pm. This venue is small so it's OK to sit during quieter times, but is packed understandably during evenings especially Friday/Saturday. read more

Dirty Burger - Dirty Bird - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Early last year I discovered the Vauxhall branch and instantly became a convert to the Church of Dirty Burger, crowning it my favourite burger experience ever. Today I found myself within an acceptable distance of this branch to warrant a detour and sample their wares. There are three items on the menu. Dirty Burger, Dirty Bacon or Dirty Cop Out (vegetarian). You should note the vegetarian option is cooked on the same hot plate as the beef and bacon, so any remotely serious vegetarian will turn their nose up at it. Anyway, we ordered our food and waited. It wasn't mega busy but the burgers did seem to take a while to come. At least this meant we had managed to get some seats by the time the food was ready. There are maybe 10 chairs in the whole place. The two things I love about Dirty Burger are the burgers and the onion fries. The burger here was good but not quite as good as the ones I've had at the Vauxhall branch. Great flavour but not rare enough here. It was pink in the middle, but not as pink as I wanted it. The onion fries were great. Chunks of red onion deep fried in a light tempura batter that's mixed with cider, then lavished with sea salt crystals and pepper. They are to die for, which is handy because eat too many and they'll probably kill you. It was still a great Dirty Burger, but not enough to steal the crown from Vauxhall. Sorry Shoreditch, but you hipsters can't always be the coolest kids on the block. read more

I love this place! It's quite small and cosy inside with not much seating space (hence the 4 stars) but the food is super tasty and the fries are magical. I recommend the cheeseburger. It comes with everything in it and they even give you a wet wipe for your hands as you get messy! read more

Dirty Burger - Small but tasty - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

I happened upon this place while walking to the overground. I was in a hurry to get home, but hadn't had lunch, so I ordered the bacon burger to takeaway. It was ready in a few minutes and I took the bag with me and walked briskly to the Shoreditch overground station. I had a four-minute window until the next south-bound train. I made the call to eat the burger. Four minutes takes longer than you think it should. I comfortably ate the burger and did a good job of not spilling the juices. It was still as hot as it would have been had I decided to eat in. All the parts were great, just like the first dirty burger I had at the Vauxhall restaurant. The meat patty cooked just right, the bacon thick and the cheese melted and tasty. It was the best four minutes of my day. read more

Would have been a great experience if only the guy taking orders (and helping at the grill) put on gloves before touching the meat and putting the cheese, tomatoes and all other ingredients on it. I felt disgusted. Clearly, the place deserves its name, DIRTY burger... The guy at the grill had gloves on but not him, that was clearly not his job to touch the food and assist in making the burger. On top of that, the fries were way too salty, it was almost unbearable to eat. Finally, I didn't need a pile of napkins and 3 packs of each sauce; it didn't notice until I left but that's such a waste. Will not be coming back. The burger was good but overall I felt like I wasted £9 of my money. read more

Been here a few times in passing, and though the staff have been perfect I can't help but feel there is something missing from this place. It's certainly doesn't have the charm of the original in Kentish Town. This layout and feel is much different bar the exterior. Whilst the other has more cosy warmth to it this feels odd. Maybe it's just me but I also like the fact that the other one is so confined that you can smell the burgers, even see them being made. The food is cooked well here but I can't help but compare thinking this is no match for the original. read more

Easily one of the best places I've been too for junky food on a satisfying level, not as comparable to the likes of patty and bun but it still has its charm. It's darker and almost gothic. The toilets are nice but I swear it was a bit of a nightmare navigating the place as was dealing with idiots who can't wait in line to get a seat. Service was great though. Enjoyed the people and they were really nice to us. The specials were just right. Not too much and not too little so you felt hungry. The chips weren't anything to shout home about but the battered onion rings were. Baileys milkshakes were a good on the side. In terms of value for money it was ok overall and I would probably say it's a close rival to Patty and Bun for burger joints, but lighting and side options as well as burger varieties are something that they could do as a "next step" read more

A delicious juicy Cheeseburger + chunky fries + smooth strawberry milkshake + excellent staff + fab atmosphere - small space = Fun dining experience. Food coma read more

Really unimpressed with the food. I got the bacon burger. It was dirty (i.e. Messy) for sure but I didn't get any enjoyment out of it. The bun and lettuce was ok. But the meat. First the bacon wasn't bacon at all. It looked like streaky bacon but it was a thick slab of ham. It just didn't belong on a burger and it didn't provide that crispy savory bonus like it should. I took it off after two bites. Also the patty was very rare and raw. I like a good rare burger but this one was just off putting. Perhaps it was low quality meet but it didn't taste good at all and I didn't feel very well after eating it. Overall I won't be trying this place again. read more

I'm not a "meat person"..generally. I mostly just eat chicken, but occasionally decadance calls for something fat, juicy and overwhelmingly "meaty". A good burger may not be a daily occurence in our household but when done well it is a reason not to become a veggie. I'm glad to say that this tiny place opposite the BoxPark does just that..and how! First..the "tiny" reference. Yes, it is tiny indeed-just 3-4 stools overlooking the kitchen and 2-3 communal tables. I would imagine it would be almost impossible to get a seat later in the evening, but don't taske my word for that. We went at 6 and got two stools at the front, which was fine, but beware for later. We watched the grill man do his thing. First thing I learned was that the burgers are all cooked to order-from raw. No pre-cooking here. Each is allowed to cook under its own dome shaped lid, just as I've seen on US Food Network shows. The menu is small-just a couple or so of burgers, fries and onion rings. I had the cheeseburger. It was done to perfection-the meat was tender, juicy and with a real taste, as if it was well matured. Not the biggest burger I've had but this was more than made up for in taste. The fries were clean and crisp as were the onion rings. Altogether brilliant! read more

The only reason this is getting 3 stars is because the burger is really really good. Sadly when I visited the service was terrible. Kudos to the guy working the grill because the manager was as moody as they come, wouldn't look you in the eye and generally seemed content to be chatting with his mates rather than offering anything deemed as good service. The onion fries were bad, you can't use red onion in onion rings, no taste! But I will repeat the burger was decent. read more

Amazing burgers, tasty, fresh ingredients. Just too much pepper, without that it will be a 5 stars place. read more

Dirty Burger - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

It's not quite on Patty & Bun or Bleecker's level, but damn if it doesn't satisfy late at night after you've had a couple of happy hour beers. The burgers are proper-sized and drippy and gooey in all the right ways. The chips are also pretty damn fine, straight-up with no rosemary. Prices are in-line with standard Shoreditch burger joints, so expect to drop 8-12 quid depending on your tasty beverage. read more

Yesterday a friend and I went to dirty burger for dinner. It's fairly small and very popular, when we arrive at 6.15 there were not many seats available, so we sat at the counter. The decor was standard burger bar. The staff were pretty attentive throughout and they were rushed off their feet, so props to them. The waitress warned us that it's possible that we may get splashed with chicken juice, as we were sitting opposite where the chefs chop up chicken. My friend recommended a vodka, elderflower and cranberry, sweet but refreshing. We ordered a cheese burger & a burger with avocado. The burgers are not massive in size, and had we been really hungry we would have ordered more. As soon as I saw the burger I knew that this was a knife and fork situation. I had visions of wearing most of my dinner, like other people have commented, it's messy. The burger was nice, definitely not the best I've had, but better than a lot. For pudding we contemplated Apple pie with ice cream, because it looked divine.. But we were, unbelievably, pretty full. If you are lucky enough find a space, there is parking right outside. It was free when we parked, I'm not sure if it is free to park all of the time. I would return to dirty burger. I would recommend it for a quick bite to eat with friends. Oh and.. Don't wear your smartest shirt! read more

Three stars overall; my wife had the cheeseburger, I had the Dirty Cop-Out (vegetarian), fries, and milkshakes. Milkshakes and fries were fantastic - 5 stars. Cheeseburger gets 3, nothing special about it, and the Cop-Out gets 1 star. Regarding the veggie burger: First, I'm not a big fan of Portobello caps, and it was a stack of 2 portobellos. Second, whatever condiment they included (garlic aioli?) was so overwhelming I actually only made it one bite into the thing. I tried a few more times, but I couldn't get paste that flavor. And I have *never* not finished a veggie burger. Until now. read more

Dirty Burger - Chocolate and Oreo shakes. - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

I've never tried the beef, but the chicken sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. The prices are decent. You may want to take your food to-go, as seating is rather limited. read more

The burger craze sweeping across London the last few years has opened a space for some sweet options to indulge a carnivore's guilty pleasures, and Dirty Burger does just that! It's not called dirty for no reason: the burger is a delightful mess! A well seasoned patty crammed into a Brioche bun with the classic must-have trio of gherkins, tomato and lettuce, oozing sauce and melted cheese. The onion fries are particularly good and make a nice change from onion rings - not to mention easier to eat! Whilst I'm a fan of simplicity, the combination of a small joint with limited seating and a pretty limited menu makes its bit tricky for a group visit, especially if you want to dine-in - otherwise as far as a stripped down and simple burger, it definitely hits the spot and tempts a gluttonous second serving! Keep an eye out also for their special burgers - last time they had a chorizo burger which was pretty awesome. read more

Try the dirty burger with bacon! Really good, and the bacon is cut like steak. If a milkshake is your thing get them to make you a dirty shake. My Fav has to be vanilla with an extra shot of rum. The waiting staff are nice, and there is a great friendly atmosphere. What's is good is that you can see your food being cooked right in front of you. read more

this is the closest I've gotten to an American burger in London. meaning, it was very very delicious. the juicy, sweet, soft bun almost bounces to perfection. better than the neighboring patty and bun fo shuuuuure read more

Goooooood! Yes burger joints are popping up left right and centre but Dirty Burger are one of the few who have it just right. Juicy meat, soft pillowy buns, fresh tasty toppings, whats not to like!? The sides are all smashing - I would highly recommend the onion rings. In the ever hip Shoreditch area it is the best under £10 meal you are going to get. made fresh to order this no frill joint is well worth waiting in the queue for. I know I will be back! read more

Very average burger. Actually below average burger. I was told that this place served up the best burgers in London. The burger was greasy rather than juicy. In the burger wars, this place falls far behind Honest burger. read more

Came upon this joint whilst looking for a not so nutritious meal, and boy did I come away satisfied! The bacon burger was pure quality, as were the onion fries, which were crispy on the outside, and satisfyingly chewy on the inside. read more

I think this is where burger heaven is. Probably the best burger I've eaten in a long time. Reasonably priced, fast and friendly service, and a well cooked, well balanced in flavour, delicious patty. They don't over do it on all the other extras in the burger, so you're not overwhelmed by too many complex flavours. It's juicy, messy, and damned tasty. read more

Dirty burger with bacon has thick cut bacon and is definitely something that requires a lot of napkins. Solid burgers with decent beer to go along. Chips weren't great - a bit soggy. Pretty divey and while we ate inside, I'd probably recommend getting it to go. read more

Great burgers. Thick cut fries, shakes if you are into that. I can't complain about Dirty Burger! It's right across from Boxpark, if you are walking towards Redchurch Street. I think for the quality of food and the fact that you're in Shoreditch, the prices are fair (6 quid for a cheeseburger). I prefer to get takeaway because the place is quite small (and can be crowded if a lot of people are queueing) but the atmosphere is grungy-hipster. The food is very good, hits the spot when you are craving a messy burger! Definitely worth a try, and much better than the sanitized, boring Byron burgers. read more

Weak burger. Haven't had many burgers in London but tried this place because I saw all these great reviews and it was on several "best burgers in London" lists. What!?! Dry flavorless burger. Meh tasting cheese. Bun is dry and not good. The sauce, which is kinda like a relish is ok. Fries, or chips don't even bother. Hope London gets a shake shack soon to taste a really solid fast food burger. read more

These burgers are the shiznit! Probably my second fav burgers next to Meat Liquor. The menu is simple but the quality is ridiculous! They do have some special burgers which they change occasionally which are usually awesome spins on their classic cheeseburgers. Really cheap as well! The only reason they lose a star compared to the one in Kentish Town is just the restaurant itself is a lot smaller and that's saying something but tbh iv never seen it as busy in comparison. read more

Perfect for a diner on the go with your friends. Tasty fatty burger absolutely not pretentious and cool vibes guaranteed. The place is quiet small so don't go as a big group. One vegetarian option for the non meat eater which is a must for me as my mister is strictly vegetarian. read more

Cracking burgers and chips, and they serve beavertown beer.... What more could you want? Service is pretty good too! Not much seating here though... So be prepared to stand and eat, or just grab it to go... read more

There was a waitress with glasses who was extremly helpful and nice with us, she helped us with the menu as the things weren't explained on it. When served the other waitress on shift was quite rude and she confused the orders so we had to wait long for one if us being served. However, food was really nice, although a bit expensive for its size. Not a bad place to go, probably they would have had better punctuation with a better service. read more

I love this burger joint! The only that's missing are some onions and jalapeños- I bring my own anyway.

The food was good but a little expensive since chips don't come with the burger. I really enjoyed the milkshake as well.
