The menu consists of all different types of burgers. And to specify all different types, Dirtyburger offers a burger made from your choice of: beef, turkey, chicken, lamb, bison, salmon, ahi tuna, veggies, portobello mushrooms, or tofu. On top of all of these choices of burgers, the restaurant also serves appetizers, entrees, salads, shakes, and more!
What makes Dirtyburger special is the fact that all beef used in this establishment is all-natural, hormone free, additive free, Angus beef. Whether some people like to eat that pink slime (as I have done so many times before) or some just like to indulge in a somewhat healthier option of a burger, you have to respect the restaurants that make sure to use the best possible products and do not settle for less.
Reading the menu, I had to ask why everything was "dirty". Everywhere you look there is dirty descriptions, and dirty preparations, and at first I figured it was just their brand name on each of the menu items, but I soon learned (after asking the waitress) that this was a whole technique of making their burgers. If you get a burger "dirty-dusted" the burger is seasoned with a blend of nine different seasonings, then grilled. If you get your burger "dirty-dipped" the burger, after taken off the grill, is dipped into a honey-glaze and placed on the bun.
Suggestion: Get the White Truffle Mayo, and put it on everything. I had to ask what it was, after eating it like it was ice cream. I put it on my fries, I put it on my burger, I put it on my fingers and licked it off. Whatever white truffle mayo is, it is a must have if you go here.
The Original Dirtyburger: 7 ounces of all-natural, hormone & additive free Angus beef, Dirty-dipped and honey-grilled on a steamy-soft, DB sauced bun.
The Beef: This so-called 7 ounce patty seemed like a much bigger monstrosity. The patty was large, and cooked to order. The beef was tender and juicy with a touch of pink in the center. Biting into this beef, a noticeable taste was imminent. The GMO-free patty is something I was not used to, but gave off a completely different taste than your average burger. The flavors, due partially in part to the nine seasoning blend, exploded every way possible and conquered my taste buds for a well-deserved 3 out of 4.
The Bun: The "steamy-soft" bun was exactly as advertised, but I don't know why you would want a "steamy" bun. Steam is water which has turned into a vapor resulting from being heated. Who wants a "hot water vapor bun" with their burger? Personally, not me. It makes the bun meld together into a saturation of soggy bread. 1 out of 4.
The Beef to Bun Ratio: Since the patty was so large, and the bun was mushed smaller because of the "vaporizing technique" advertised, the beef was a really prominent part of this burger. 3 out of 4.
The Presentation: The presentation for a fast casual type place was well prepared. Nothing too extravagant and very, very simple. The burger and fries were plated together, and nicely put together. The look of the cheese bumps this presentation up a point on its own. 3 out of 4.
The Cheese: The cheddar cheese on this burger was at least a double slice. The melty cheese perfectly oozed over the edges creating a cheese monster that dripped and drizzled over the edges of the burger. 2 out of 3.
The Sear: Between the grill marks and the nine seasoning blend, this burger had it all. The kick, the sweetness, the spice, the nice, the mean, everything you wanted was on this burger. 3 out of 3.
Overall Taste: The honey glaze gave the burger an extra hint of sweetness. Additionally, the cheese and bacon bits added to the positives attributed to this burger. The bun's texture was not so pleasant, being very soft and mushy in some places due to the juices of the burger and whatever "steaming" was done to it. 3 out of 5.
