The Dirty South

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. 🙌🔥

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

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 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!

Last minute date night on a Friday. It wasn’t super packed but there also wasn’t any live music playing. Ordered Brisket tots, Boudin Eggrolls, Nashville Hot Chicken, and Steak Petit. The brisket tots had BIG tots, not your usual freezer bag size. Pretty good dish. The boudin egg rolls were okay, the boudin wasn’t a very pronounced taste. We used to a bolder flavor. But the very crispy wonton was pretty good addition. The Nashville hot chicken was kind of basic. No real breading to the capture the flavor, so it was like chicken and oil. The Steak Petit was good. The steak itself was very flavorful and well cooked. The sides were pretty basic but didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of the dish. The servers were all very attentive and helpful. We would go back to try more dishes!

Food is amazing and the staff and drinks are always on point. This is truly one of our favorite spots. We have tried almost the whole menu. The smoked ribeye was my favorite but now it’s gotta be the shrimp and grits or the cast iron chicken

Went around 6:00 and place was nea empty, but it started filling up after we got there. Food was all solidly good. I ordered the blackened redfish, which was slightly overcooked, but otherwise fine. My partner ordered the tomahawk pork chop, which was very good and cooked perfect. My other guest ordered the cheese steak sandwich, which was melt in your mouth tender. It is mixed with caramelized onions, which made it so much better.

I’m writing to share my recent visit to the restaurant, unfortunately the experience did not meet my expectations, the food was served cold and I honestly don’t understand why if they were not busy at all . When I told my server Tyler about the food being cold she came across rude and dismissive, this made the situation more disappointing as I was hoping it could be resolved. No manager once came to check on us and try to solve the problem , instead her and the rest of the servers were sitting on the bar on their cellphones , not to mention you can constantly hear the kitchen bell being rung so they can go get there food while they were on their phone ,also the sever never once asked if we needed a refill on our drinks. This really sucked because I know this is a great restaurant but somehow their service is getting worse.

Celebrated my husband birthday at Dirty South and Wow what a find!! We had Perla waiting on and wow - fabulous service! Highly recommend the Brisket Tots. This could be a meal on its own. Hubs had the chicken fried steak - crazy good and huge portion. I had the fried shrimp!!! So good and again portions are huge. Beyond delicious and atmosphere very inviting. If you find yourself in Angleton Texas - a must stop!!!

Food was amazing. Never had Brisket melt in my mouth. Service was spot on. Definitely going to go back.

So good , delicious food and great entertainment - cute place with good staff too ! I hope we can get a group together to come back soon!

I love sitting out on the patio, but a few minutes in and bees and bugs showed up and they were bad. The restaurant can't help that but it was hard to eat and swat at bugs the entire meal. The food is good. I wish they would add sweet tea. Its never busy so you can always go right to a table. I love the corn brulee. Its a sweet cream corn in an iron skillet with the creme brulee sugar crust. You either love it or hate it. Im addicted.

Surprised by how great the food is. Comfort food. The tater tots did not disappoint, not your traditional tots, these are huge and so yummy. The cheese curds, burger, even Cobb salad all had generous amounts. Service is great, bartender made an amazing rosemary blackberry gin. Band was getting ready to play. All and all great place to go to.

Just passing through and stopped for lunch. We had our dog so sat outside. Ed was our server and was awesome. Great food and service. Will definitely return again.

If you are in Angleton on Friday or Saturday, I hope you are visiting The Dirty South. The burgers are out of this world. The potato wedges are fan.tas.tic. The Mac n cheese is totally worth it. And the cocktails are fun and exciting. On the weekends there is live music, if that is your thing. I love coming here.

Service 0 Brisket tots 8/10 better off without bbq sauce 10/10 Waiting time 4/10,(waited a lot longer than this restaurant) a couple arrived a little later than us. They received service sooner than us. First time eating in this place. Overall experience is a 1, waitress brought out incorrect order. Watched my family eat, while I had to wait on my order. I kept my patience and lost my appetite. I took my plate to go, since my husband and kid were done with the food.

Quick service due to nearby appointment. Hostess and waitress were very cordial. Enjoyed the atmosphere not having been in Angleton for years. Paternal grandmother and siblings born in Velasco would appreciate this restaurant. Look forward to returning.

I enjoy this place more each time I go. The waiters and waitresses are always polite and attentive. We have a regular waitress and that is possible because it is a good place to work. That tells me a lot about management and customers alike. Live music is sometimes offered on weekends to make date night a really fun time. Food is good ...place is clean...fun times here ..see ya there?

This place is fantastic. The weather was beautiful so we sat on the porch for dinner. Cars can be noisy going by but that's understandable. I feel like sitting outside is cause to be forgotten but our waiter never left us unattended for too long. Drinks were great and they have a big selection of liquors. Food was delicious as well. Bathrooms are clean but you have to ask where they're located. I'll be back!

The second we walked in, we were well taken care of by the staff. We were seated right away and the waitress was quick and attentive. The food was excellent, we ordered the Nash trash, which comes with 2 extra large biscuits split, Nashville hot chicken smothered in sausage gravy, topped with 2 eggs your way, and a drizzle of syrup! If you are in Angleton this is a must-try, the inside was cute and clean!

Great southern food and friendly quick service. Huge portions and excellent cocktails.

This place has a lot to offer! Great food with lots of flavor. The Brisket Tots are tasty and the Skillet Scampi has a little kick which was a great surprise! The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is fun. They have one area that is for dining only and the other side has the bar & the stage where the bands play. If there is a band playing sometimes you have to buy tickets to stay for the show. Reservations are recommended but not required. They have some good mixed drink options. My favorite was the Mint Cucumber Daiquiri! There are two patio areas to enjoy, one in the front that faces the street and one in the back with comfy couches & fun photo backdrop wall. You will enjoy this place!

Parking - it is across the street so be prepared for that. Layout - the entrance when we walked in we were not sure we were in the right place. Signage on the main doors (or better signage) would help and it looks like at one time this was two separate suites and a cut through was added between them during an expansion. Once we were sure we were in the right place we were taken to a nice raised booth table by the bar and kitchen with a decent view of the stage. Menu had something for everyone and we felt the service was good and our server doing her best though there were quite a few large parties and groups that i think challenged the flow of the kitchen and bar. Shout out to the young bartender in the red bow tie with the man-bun hairstyle. He worked his tail off to het drinks made quickly and correctly while the bar back and other bartender seemed to leave their chatty corner in the back when a manager came through. Great value for the price and we were mostly pleased with our food. My carrot ribbons were noticeably undercooked among the squash and other veg in it but what I struggled with was the decision to toss the little plastic butter cup into the cast iron dish my veggies were in along with the biscuit on top of them. So whomever had handled that container of spread - it went straight into my food =\ and the mashed potatoes- skip them as other reviewers have said - in the actual potato there is no flavor or seasoning or butter or cream or anything. They almost tasted instant but the brown gravy i ordered them with was so good it let me eat them together. We will for sure dine here again when we come through town. The skillet chicken I ordered was amazing and the garlic parmesan sauce with sun dried tomatoes was to die for. I sopped up the extra sauce with the biscuit. So good!! We would for sure try it again

This was a great place with great service. They have a good selection of different types of foods. They also had a band setting up when we were there. Waitress was exceptional!

Pros: our waitress was over the top wonderful. Prompt service and never an empty drink glass. The food had great flavor, especially those galic butter biscuits! Cons: THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD! impossible to have any conversation or think. The tomahawk pork chop was thin but still had good flavor.

Food adequate at best, service was good and music way way too loud. I've been twice to give it the benefit of a doubt. Disappointed both times.

We ate lunch, and really enjoyed ourselves. It's a trendy, casual, dining environment, with polite, prompt, professional service. The lunch menu was predominantly sandwiches, but they were definitely gourmet level eating. No plain white bread and baloney here We give it a two thumbs-up, and will definitely return.

Great food and service! The interior design and ambiance had a distinct theme that matched the food and drink menu.

Found myself in Angleton never eaten at a restaurant there before, so yup went to yelp. Friend of mine that was with me he hadn't eaten anywhere there yet either the Dirty South looked pretty good and yes it was very good I'll probably go back and order something else because it all looked good, but I had the Alabama grilled very good

Three strikes and you're out! Initial visit was 11/20 and subsequently allowed them time to get their act together considering it was Covid. Reattempted early 2023 and ordered the smoked rib eye steak. Wow! Cold, RAW and just nasty ( and I love tartare and carpaccio ). Last strike was 6/23 for a Saturday lunch. Food again was just nasty with loud boozed up tables all around ( we ordered a bottle of wine so no judgement, just data ). One would imagine that the same people behind Poly Pop, which has amazing food, would offer a similar quality level in Angleton. Not! Clearly they stay afloat by booze and live music and charging a cover. My two cents.......save your money and go to LJ for Poly Pop's Ramen/Buddha bowls/Tacos or Freeport for Belly's lobster roll should you desire to support this restaurant empire.

It was unique and authentic. My wife's Cobb Salad was excellent. My chicken was delicious. The biscuit that came with it was worth it all. Good service, good food, a pleasant surprise.

The biscuits were great! The eggs cooked perfect and the wait staff were so nice.. We visited for breakfast but plan to back for more things on the menu!

Went in for birthday dinner with family. Ordered tomahawk pork chop. Said it takes 25 minutes to cook and came it out 1/3 of an inch thick and rather on the small end. Remember this being thick piece of meat that took up half the plate and required 25 minutes to cook and was worth the $22 price tag. What I received today was NO where near the size or quality I had in the past. Waitress was great and took $4.40 off bill. A huge letdown from what I was expecting. Do not waste the money for pork chop.

Music was way to loud so we left. May try again sometime when the music is not so loud that you can't talk to the person next to you without yelling.

What a pleasant surprise in Angleton! Great food and service. The salad was delicious but could have used a little bit more chicken considering the price. Happy to see somewhere worth stopping in Angleton.

Use to be a regular until the food quality and service took a nose dive. Gave it another chance last week . Bad mistake. Service was sub par even though the place was basically empty. The hamburger was over cooked as were the chips. The chips were brittle in addition to being over cooked. I thought that they had reheated them in the fryer before service but they were cold to the touch when served. I will not be going back unless a new owner takes over.

Such a great discovery. Food was great. Happy we stumbled upon this place. Plus there's an outdoor patio.

Service is poor and food is not the best presented/taste. We have tried it a few times.. we really want to like it and support the business, but it's been a turnoff every time with either the service or quality of food.

Shrimp linguini and a side salad. Should be simple enough. Salad was fresh and the feta was a nice touch. The dressing was ranch DIP , not dressing. Ate salad dry. Pasta looks like it's been under a lamp, dry no sauce to be found, shrimp undercooked. I ate five of the shrimp and gave up. Terrible. How do you spell disappointment? thedirtysouth.

The Dirty South has a cool vibe - a great place to go hang out on the weekend while listening to a live band. We first dropped in for brunch having the rustic potato hash and asked for a side biscuit with gravy. OH YEA! The hash was fantastic oh delicious - with a savory taste. The biscuit was fluffy and , well, just right. The gravy spot on. So, we had to go try it again, this time we got the Louisiana Cheeseburger. Let's just say, it's a roll up your sleeves and lean way over the plate juicy hamburger! The roumelade sauce added a lot of flavor and the meat had a Smokey flavor on that as well.

In town for weekend and looking for a place to have a drink with the hubby. Walked in as a first time customer and the bar had people seated all around so no space to order. We picked a table since we saw waiters serving drinks and no one came to take our order for over 20 minutes. The worse part is all waitresses saw us and looked away each time... The vibe wasn't even worth the time I sat there, walked out and will never come back.

we frequent this restaurant a lot- multiple times a week and this week we came to wine Wednesday. there was a large party that was clearly over served and a couple sitting on the patio with two dogs (a Frenchie and a very old boxer). one of the gentleman from the over served got up left the restaurant and walked up to the couple put his finger on the guy and told him he should put his dog down. the two guys got in a fight and the women at the over served table started videoing and taunting the woman with the dogs who remained seated. My husband went to help and I called the cops. we told the cops what we saw that the people clearly started this. Once the couple on the patio paid and left they were raising their glasses and taunting them and I looked at them they then started yelling at me across the restaurant and I told my server I wanted them removed that I come here 3x's a week and now they are harassing me she told the manager and she not only didn't come to my table but let them stay. funny thing is we had lunch at Belly's today with our Frenchie so clearly the owner is pet friendly. those people should have been removed-- they ruined our night!

For Angleton, this was a nice night out. The service was efficient and friendly. Prices were not too steep. My strip steak, green beans and mashed potatoes were really good. My husband had the blackened redfish with the cream sauce and he felt that it was about average. We both though the huge biscuits were just okay. I think next time I'll try one of their burgers as those looked super.

Since they opened I never committed in stopping in as I was expecting the typical "bar" food menu. My hunch was wrong, food is original and excellent, staff was awesome, highly recommend!

I have been coming to The Dirty South for almost two years. They are great! Food is good, beer is cold, and live music is always great! Come see Cole Degges on Wednesday nights!

This place has some good food but the service is not the best it takes a long time for the servers to ask you your drink order, this place to me is more for the young drinking crews. They would do a lot better if they had more severs.

The food has been good from day one; the service finally matches the food. Service has been steadily improving, and Viviana was amazing today! We love the Mac-n-cheese (by itself, covered in brisket, covered in hot chicken, etc) and the Bang Bang Shrimp tacos. (Yes, they make their own tortillas) Tried the sweet potato pecan casserole for the first time today and it was awesome, as is the fried shrimp, corn brûlée, the smoked platter, and okay-we have liked everything we have tried. Also still love the decor - especially all the chandeliers.

Very disappointed in my last visit. Ordered a steak and it came out undercooked twice. ( I had explained that steak needed to be medium well for health concerns, but steak had blood both times.) By the time the steak came out the second time, the other guests at my table had finished eating. I sent the steak back and left without eating. At no time did the manager come out to acknowledge problem.

The food is ok. Nothing to write home about for sure. The service was terrible too; we had to wait forever for refills and it took forever to get the food. The drinks are good and I love to come here just to drink and hang out especially when they have karaoke on Thursday nights.

I was not impressed by this place. The food wasn't great, the service was ridiculously long. Tried a to go order and the food made me so sick.

Good food and entertainment. I will return and recommend to friends and family. Good variety and friendly staff.

Great ambiance and they have live music some days and we love that. The food and service could step it up a notch. Usually, at restaurants I have a favorite dish, here there's nothing here that stands out. I think they could use a little tweaking and offer something else. The service is a little slow, just depends on who you get.

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and met up with a small group of friends. The decor is cute and the front and back patios give it a relaxing atmosphere. Service was so-so, they were not yet organized for business. I wish the breakfast had been better. My husband and I had raw scrambled eggs and his bacon was to raw to eat but the potatoes and biscuits were wonderful. We maybe should have ordered our eggs well done and bacon crispy.

Disappointing. I was expecting great things from the reviews I read. I ordered the blackened redfish with mashed potatoes, vegetables and a biscuit. The blackened redfish was good. The mashed potatoes were just okay. The vegetables were barely warm and the biscuit was doughy. On a positive note, the service was great.

Craving a Monte Cristo sandwich and BAM.... nailed it. It was so yummy and just the right amount of ham, cheese and sweetness. Delicious Hubby and daughter had the hamburger and wow!! Homemade tator tots were supberb. A must go for any local wanting something different.

We love this place and frequent it often with our elderly parents. The outside covered porch is quieter and where we love to hang out. Love the menu variety and unique drinks. Some favorites are the burgers and chicken sandwiches, the Southern BLT with the fried green tomatoes are super unique and really good (IF they cook the bacon enough) and I love the blackened redfish and spicy shrimp tacos. Excellent flavors throughout. I Do want to knock a half a star off however for some inconsistencies. The ribbon salad is sometimes good, but sometimes unseasoned and almost raw. Their inability to make a proper sunny side up egg is astounding. On our last visit, I ordered the shrimp and grits with an egg on top. The whites were translucent, jiggling, and raw. I sent it back and they asked how I wanted it redone. I restated sunny side up, and assured them I knew what that meant. It came back entirely raw on top AGAIN. Not just runny yolk like it's supposed to be, but obviously slimy raw. They seemed confused as to why this was a problem. I just said fine and ate it anyway because everyone else was almost done eating. I hope the owner sees this end teaches their cooks the proper way to cook eggs. Mistakes happen, but I hope it gets corrected because we love this place otherwise.

Best service I've experienced in a long time! I met up a girlfriend for lunch and we really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were spot on! I highly recommend you guys check this place out, it's worth every penny. P.S. If you're in a hurry bc you only have an hour lunch then don't go to a full service restaurant, take your time limited butt to a fast food restaurant. #havesomesense
