“ I usually get Dirty's through DoorDash, but I've dined inside a few times too! The atmosphere inside is nice and the employees have always been kind and quick. We love the food here too! There is a good variety. The building seems clean. ”

“ Super yummy food and good service! We were seated quickly and got our food very fast and they were super busy. ”

“ Wifey and I have eaten here LOTS of times. First things first: It's a college bar and grill. But, it's a great breakfast place. The food is almost always fantastic. Today, wifey got the peach cobbler pancakes and a half order of biscuits and gravy. I WAS going to order my usual Breakfast Pile. However, after hearing Wifey's order, I said, "Let's Just do it one more time! So, I ordered the same thing. We both got coffee and water. Service was very good. We were sitting at a table apart from most everyone else. Usually that means you'll be ignored, but our server (we didn't get a name) didn't forget us at all. That was a pleasant surprise. The peach pancakes were awesome. We had to remind them that should have whipped cream (a necessity, since it's a little dry otherwise). Our server was very happy to oblige and quickly remedied that. That made Wifey's day because the whipped cream was the "rug" that pulled the whole breakfast together. Mmmm! Overall, we will come back yet again, as it's a very good place. Great food, a little crowded. A little too tight, but well worth it. ”

“ Hope was a rockstar! We had many folks in our party with dietary conditions, Hope double checked each ingredient and she specifically made dairy free tartar sauce! There is Hope for our Health! ”

“ Great food and service, definitely coming back. We had the wings (cooked perfectly- get the tropical habanero sauce!) the BLT and the cob salad! All great! ”

“ Great service and great food. Waitress was great. Food was fast. beast BLT was amazing as was the wings. ”

“ So you find yourself in Charleston, IL. You're most likely here because of Eastern Illinois University. When it comes to grabbing dinner close to campus, you have probably 5-7 choices, and Dirty's Bar & Grill is among the best. Don't let the name fool you, because Dirty's is more like a TGI Fridays than a seedy, hole-in-the-wall saloon. The menu features an amped-up selection of typical American bar food.. various fried appetizers, burgers, wraps, street tacos and other sandwiches. The exception being what they call a "Pile". There are about 4 different kinds, and they are basically fries topped with a protein and then covered in a sauce. If you've ever been to Springfield, IL then you've probably had a Horseshoe, and Dirty's Piles are kind of a spin of that dish. The drink menu has some speciality items on it as well which separate Dirty's nicely from the various college bars that surround it.. This makes Dirty's a great spot for parents visiting their college kids that are looking for a drink, and don't feel like having their feet stick to the floor while enjoying a $2 Natty Light.. (not saying that doesn't have it's place either..lol). We took my daughter and her boyfriend here for dinner (both EIU students), and had a very nice meal. Our server Macie was great. She was attentive, knew the menu, made solid recommendations and we wanted for nothing. The food was good, and tasted pretty much as expected. No one was blown away, but the flavors were all right there, and the food was hot and freshly prepared. I had the Chicken BLT wrap with chips. It was as good as a Chicken BLT wrap was gonna get. My wife had the Dirty's Signature Pile which featured waffle fries topped with fried chicken and Buffalo sauce. Again, pretty good. The kids had a Yum Yum burger and a Flip it & Reverse it Grilled Cheese. These two dishes might have been the way to go if/when we come back. The kids both raved about these sandwiches, and they had both had them before. Again, our selections weren't bad, but theirs looked better. I'm sure there were some healthier items on the menu, and also some items if you're vegan, or have dietary restrictions, but we stuck with what we knew - solid bar grub for fat people... lol. The kids then split a Martini Sundae, named for the glass it's served in.. and they liked it.. I didn't have any, but it did feature cookie dough wrapped in an egg roll wrapping - which looked intriguing. We've eaten at a few different spots since we've been coming down to EIU, and believe it or not, there are some pretty nice choices around campus that feature some pretty delicious food. Dirty's certainly has earned it's spot among them. ”

“ Good food, great drinks. Meals are not always consistent; serving sizes seem to vary from trip to trip (I get a dinner portion Caesar salad, and sometimes it's more of a side salad for $11), and sometimes the meals are made differently. The service is usually good. ”

“ You would be wrong if you are not expecting anything fancy from a small town in Illinois. Tacos are very delicious here! I love the fish tacos. The chicken and street tacos look very enticing too. The portion is very generous. What really amazed me is many vegetarian options on the menu. As a healthy nerd, I enjoyed the plant based chicken nuggets and on demand salad without meat. Truly put my mind at ease to have a blast in a sports bar. Last but not least, the Dirty Martini at the Dirty's, you gotta to try. It's vegan, haha, and served by friendly staff. 5 star, if you are in town, give it a try. ”
