I have to say I never write reviews, but this place was amazing 10 out of 10 from the hostess to the bar manager to our waitress to the food to the drinks. Everything was excellent very homey filling country old school the atmosphere definitely gonna put it on our weekly rotation for date night
This place is always lots of fun! Food has been consistently delicious and very good and creative cocktails (and a full bar). Good flavor on the chicken fried steak, excellent shrimp bang bang tacos (the tortillas were really good with a small amount of crisp on them). The service is good and they try to be attentive, depending on the night it might be a little spotty but nothing crazy that would make me even doubt coming back. The live entertainment has been really high quality both times I’ve experienced it. Really good performances with good music repertoire. The only drawback is it can get very loud, even with trying different locations to the stage; so if you’re going with the intentions of group conversations, it could be a bit of a challenge. Regardless, really love the place and think it does a great job at executing the overall concept with good food and drinks!
Excellent place for a date night! The atmosphere was great. The fried green tomatoes were ok, but the shrimp & grits and the ribeye was delicious! The biscuits 😍😍 the drinks are really good too. We will definitely be back! Update: Came back with our kids this time. We tried the tomahawk pork chop, cast iron chicken, chicken strips and hot chicken mac. Everything was delicious!! In my daughter's words - "these are the best chicken strips I ever had." Everyone also really enjoyed the live music.
Laid back atmosphere with live music. Food was a little cold and the waitress was a little slow. But the ribs, coleslaw, sliders and tater tot appetizer was next level. Skip the chicken fried steak, worst I've ever had.
Awesome food! Great service and atmosphere too. My wife likes the chicken parm even more than Giovanni's. Everything was very good. We always share bites of our food with each other at new places. Nobody had a single negative or even neutral comment. Lots of flavor. EDIT: I had to demote a star on the food after a recent visit. I got the smoked platter this time and overall it was mediocre at best. Ribs were "meh." The brisket sliders were just "okay." Jalapeno sausage was fantastic. But everything else was total trash. Slaw tasted like watered down mayo and had no real flavor. Cornbread tasted like flour and corn water with a few kernels. Mac-n-cheese was total garbage. All the other food we had was great but the smoked platter was terrible.
This was our first time at The Dirty South and it is a great place. The building itself is a thing to admire. Although we did not eat, the drinks and service at the bar were excellent. Dallas will take great care of you and was a blast to chat with.
I had an excellent experience at Dirty South. The food was flavorful, well‑prepared, and served hot, but what truly stood out was the service. Jazelyn took exceptional care of our table attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The entire staff worked together smoothly and created a comfortable, positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for both the quality of the food and the professionalism of the team.
We had an amazing experience at Dirty South, and I have to give a HUGE shoutout to our waiter, Edzon. This guy is on another level! From the moment we sat down, he treated us like VIPs — super friendly, on point, and he knew the menu like the back of his hand. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. The food was unreal. We started with the brisket tots (must try!), then had a cheese burger and a perfectly cooked strip steak. We finished with their pecan dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked exactly right. The atmosphere was great, but Edzon is what made the whole night unforgettable. If you go to Dirty South, ask for Edzon — he deserves all the hype and then some! We’ll definitely be back. 🙌🔥
This is an amazing little place in Angleton. Nice atmosphere. Great happy hour. Wonderful food. I did the shrimp and grits. 😍 They have bands, pianos, and even a coyote ugly night. Stopped in for dinner, stayed for drinks. People stay here for hours visiting and making new friends. Highly recommend for a chill place to have a drink and enjoy great company! Tylor and Dallas are the best!
Stopped by The Dirty South for lunch and had the burger along with the bean dip. Both were excellent. The burger was huge, flavorful, and cooked just right. The service was outstanding, and my drink was refilled quickly without having to ask. The menu has several other items that caught my eye, so I’ll definitely be coming back to try more. It also looks like they have live music on certain days, which I’m looking forward to checking out as well. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
