The dessert was large enough to share between 5 of us!

Just be ready to squeeze in The decor is the first thing you notice. The walls and ceiling are practically plastered with local apparel, and for whatever reason, there's a heavy monkey theme going on with all the gear. It gives the place a great, unpretentious, classic Wisconsin dive bar vibe. The menu keeps it simple: standard, no-nonsense bar food. We're talking burgers, baskets, and fried sides. Service was surprisingly snappy given that it was shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar. If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, this isn't it. But if you want cold drinks, killer curds, and a vibrant crowd, it's easily a solid four-star stop on the strip. I'd definitely grab a beer here again. the burgers claimed that they were world famous but topping your burgers is a little strange, they charge 25 cents for tomatoes and lettuce

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.

We ordered two cheeseburger kids meals with fries for our little humans (who were thrilled, and honestly, so were we sneaking a fry or two) and the San Francisco Patty Melt--which is chicken-based and satisfying enough to hit the spot. The kids' meals were solid: burgers and fries that were tasty and well-sized for little appetites. The San Francisco Patty Melt was enjoyable--juicy chicken, melty cheese, toasted bread, and a reliably comforting choice. Durty Gurt's has a fun, lively vibe that makes you want to cheer when your food arrives, and the playful, colorful décor--bright signs, quirky wall art, and whimsical little touches everywhere--makes the whole place feel like a cheerful, slightly wacky diner full of personality.

It just so happened to be oyr servers birthday as well, so that was fun & she was so sweet & accommodating... the atmosphere is is wonderful with the distillery, gift shop & a view of the river right out on the terrace if you want to eat outside. We saw a mother & baby deer right across from us and a whole family of geese with their gosling. We loved the place so much, we came back 2 days later for lunch before leaving the area. Take the Distillery tour & buy some amazing infused balsamic vinegars, oils, bourbon, brandy, bourbon BBQ sauce, scented candles & other before leaving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It's just one gentleman boiling the burgers, and with some people ordering half a dozen at a time, things move slowly. There was no shade while waiting under the hot sun, it might be a good idea to wear a cap. The menu is as simple as it gets: burgers with or without onions, about $6 each and roughly slider-sized. Condiments are limited to mustard and ketchup, and they also sell canned drinks. There are a few small tables and chairs nearby if you want to eat right away. Overall, it was worth trying once for its history and classic Wisconsin charm.
