    Humor all over this place!
    John F.

    Durty Gurt's is located in the heart of a touristy area, which usually means shitty over-priced food. Not here! Our food was great and the service was excellent! Price was reasonable too. Our waitress was fun and a really hard worker. (Extra credit for calling me "Honey" a few times!) The restaurant is also a lot of fun. Full of funny pictures and quotes. After we finished eating we actually walked around the restaurant just to read the walls. Totally happy with our experience and meal.

    I never really believe reviewers when they write 'This was the best hamburger I've ever had.' It always sounds like exaggeration. I now find myself, in all seriousness, saying "That was the best hamburger I've ever had." No exaggeration! I got the Tombstone burger. I guess it is called the Tombstone burger because of all of the unhealthy but oh so delicious toppings. Two slices of cheese, bacon, grilled onions and 2 fried onion rings. The bun was soft and lightly toasted. My husband got the Sloppy Joe. One of his most favorite sandwiches which is seldom offered at restaurants. He like it. The seasoned fries that we both got were terrific. Service was fast and friendly. It is a fun place to visit because you can read all of the signs with funny sayings on them. Prices were fair. My only complaint is their positioning of 3 toilets at the entrance lobby. There was some funny saying on the wall above them but I don't remember what it was. The thing is that as I'm entering a restaurant I don't want to be greeted by toilets and then have pictures flash in my mind about what goes on in toilets. Gross. In spite of what I consider an inappropriate first impression at the entry way, we will return to Durty Gurty's the next time we visit Galena.

    What a fabulous little dinner!! The staff was so friendly and helpful!! The service was so quick! We only waited 15 for a table for 2 and maybe 15-20 minutes for our food order! The food was delicious. The waitress recommended their sea food chowder and oh man it did not disappoint!! They were so quick with refills, and checking in on us! The restaurant was clean and well managed! 10/10 we will definitely go again when we are in Galena! Don't pass up this gem!

    We were hungry but didn't want anything fancy and Durty Gurt's vibe was just what we didn't know we wanted . Our server was fantastic. She anticipated our every need and made great suggestions. They have gluten friendly items and gluten free buns too. The food came out super fast and was so delicious. Portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. Don't miss this fun joint when on Main Street in Galena.

    It's pretty much bar food, fried and some fresh salads. The fries we ok and the food did have served fast. The server was awesome and the atmosphere was just ok.

    Nice owner, Durty Gurt's is a burger joint with sandwiches and shakes. Fun ambiance with toilets as seats in the front area. Logo is a funny pic of an old lady. Diner style inside with table seating. Cool spot for taking pics. Food was good, interesting spot overall to check out if you are in the area.

    Been stopping here to eat almost every week for two years, usually twice a week for lunch and it's still the best place to eat in Galena. If you're looking for friendly atmosphere, fast service, and fun environment...don't pass this place and not stop! The bartender is outstanding, most welcoming women you'll find around and the host, waitresses, owner and the dude that makes the shakes is the BEST crew you'll find in town to check ALL the boxes! If you like shakes, Very Berry is the best

    Santa Fe Burger w seasoned fries - bacon cheeseburger with chipotle mayo, avocado, jalapeños

    Eclectic restaurant decor in a tiny touristy town. It's kind of fun. We had a couple of different people stop by our table to check on us, so the staff was fast and friendly. For an appetizer, we had the Mac and cheese bites. They were not the same size or shape, which to me usually means they were homemade. They were good, and they brought out ran stressing to dip them in. My brother got the shut the front door burger with regular fries. He has had it before. And that's all he ever orders when he comes here, so he loves it. It doesn't come with any sauce on it, so I think it was a little dry. So, if you order one, get some ranch dressing to put on it, or dip it in. He had water. I had the Santa Fe, burger with spiced fries, and I usually get thousand island dressing for my fries. It was a good burger, and I wish they were closer to where I lived. I had fountain root beer which was somewhat disappointing if you know the atmosphere in Galena. Overall, a great experience with great food. Most definitely will return.

    I know this place (and this whole town) is a tourist destination, but goodness help me, I do like Durty Gurt's. The food is good and there is plenty of variety in the menu. They have regular and boozy shakes. The service is quick and the place is bright and clean. But the biggest differentiator is that there is a little more sass and attitude here compared to many of the other stores/restaurant down Main street. The prices are a touch on the high side, but it is very much in line with the rest of restaurants in this town. Next time, I'll try to get a pic of the toilet by the door.

    A little late on my review, but cannot miss the opportunity to provide my feedback. What a fun place to dine! The facility is clean and relatively spacious. The service is wonderful. The food is outstanding! Our party of 4 enjoyed a couple of sandwiches. The "Shut the Front Door" which was interesting, but incredibly delicious as it was served on two glazed donuts instead of the normal hamburger bun. The others had the "Woo! Wap! The Bam!" burger. We all chose fries or sweet potato fries with our sandwiches. There is a set of three toilets in the front where three of us sat and the other took a photo.

    Super cute place With good quality food & nice portions But prices are a bit high for burgers & fries We didn't try a shake on a hot day, I wish I would've. I had the Chicago Patty melt Wife had the bbq pork sandwich & we both had seasoned fries Both sandwiches were high quality & large. I wish the melt had more onions. Seasoned fries were ok & good portion Bbq came with Cole slaw & a pickle which is nice, but slaw just tasted like Mayo Bill for a lunch of 2 sandwiches w/sodas was over $50 after tip. If I was just reviewing the food, I would've gave it 4 stars

    Holy cow! I would not have guessed the food would have been as good as it is. I say that because a toilet greets you when you walk in the door, wow! The burger I got was the next level and the vanilla milkshake was as good as any I've ever had When I came in the restaurant, the owner was at the register and was quite knowledgeable about what was gluten-free and was totally unto with anyone that might be celiac. I would highly recommend this place and I intend to come back here.

    See all
