★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brian Porcello · Dec 2025

I hear great things. Good atmosphere nice staff. Wife got garlic shrimp and I got a rueben and added a fried egg. Food was good... missing flavor. Even with the shrimp in butter it needed salt. The sweet potato fries come unsalted (im not a fan of salt but it needed it) my rueben was pretty good but lacking something. The fried egg helped but it also had no flavor to the egg. Like they have it all but its short of flavor. Hope they fix this. The loaded potato soup by far was delicious compared to the food. I see others bring ip the same thing.

This place was a hoot!! As you walk in there are 3 toilets in the foyer with a sign about who those are for...you walk into the dining area and are greeted with another toilet that is where suggestions and complaints go!! The atmosphere was very casual with great memorabilia on the walls and even a photobooth of sorts...see photo!! Everything was terrific except the food. I ordered a burger that sounded scrumptious and looked even better, but was very bland. My family all ordered different items from the menu and all agreed that it needed to be more flavorful!! Great place...good times and great memories!

This was a casually fun restaurant to visit. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Our waitress knew the menu well and helped with decisions. I tried the Greek Town Burger which includes gyro meat, feta cheese, Greek olives, lettuce, tomato, onions and of course tzatziki sauce on a toasted pretzel bun. On the side were sweet Potato fries and a favorite beer. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and creativity of this burger. It was a tasty treat and would definitely have it again. There is a variety of choices to satisfy any hungry tummy. Durty Gurt's is a pretty big facility but does get busy because of its popularity. You're probably better off calling ahead and making reservations.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Gordon Shaffer · Sep 2025

Casual dining delivering really outstanding food in a folksy, home setting. I ordered the City Diner Burger with sweet potato waffle fries. The burger was a delicious 1/2 pounder with cheddar cheese, BTL, Gurt's special mayo and topped with an over easy egg. It was tremendous! I enjoyed it so much! (I think Chic Fila ought to consider sweet potato waffle fries for their menu.). My wife loved the Grecian Delight Salad with chicken that she chose. Even so the next day as leftovers.

Located in downtown Galena,this is a casual restaurant offering a good selection of appetizers,salads,burgers and melts. They had nice gluten free options as well. Even tho they are known for their burgers,we decided on the gluten free cheezy beef and the breaded grouper platter. My wife loved the beef sandwich. The grouper was flaky and not oily at all. They also offer a nice selection of specialty cocktails and Boozy Shakes Service was quick and efficient. A decent place to try after a day of walking around Galena.
