The selection was excellent, the portions immense and the taste was delicious. No trip to Galena is complete without a burger at Durty Gurts.

Travel to Galena 1-2 times per year. Always stop here for a burger. Decor of the place requires a sense of humor for sure. Figure I'm "warned" when a place has flowers in a toilet at the front door. Wait staff are friendly. Service is quick. Food is delicious.

Fun decor. Lot of sayings on the walls. Good service and food was great. More than enough to eat. The malts looked wonderful but that would have been a meal in itself.

Durty Gurts is a staple in Galena. The food is OUTSTANDING and goes beyond a five-star rating. The four stars we gave it is only for atmosphere, which I'll describe as relaxed, unique, original but sometimes crass... This is a lunch stop with really great food where you don't worry about what you're wearing or how you look, but the... More

The food was okay. With burgers and fries you can't go wrong, but the place was dark and the decor had all of these rude sayings, that just puts a bad taste in my mouth. The server was nice, but not overly friendly. Prices were good for the food. About $10 a plate. Not horrible. Won't go back because of... More

Walking around Galena, we had our 9 and 10 yr. olds with us and they wanted to have a shake/malt, so we went here on the recommendation of someone in the area. It's a casual restaurant so it's good to bring kids in here. The malt/shake selections are great (like a "Snickers" shake, or a plain vanilla malt), there are... More

In the off season there can be a lack of lunch spots to eat at downtown so we ended up trying Gurt's. It is an interesting place to have a burger but I would have to say the burger was o.k. but not great. They do not ask you how you like your burger cooked so expect a burger on... More
