Dusty’s Bar & Grill

Been here a few times. Atmosphere is ok. Staff is good. The main reason I come to this place is because they make a damn good burger, and their fries are top notch too. Really no complaints about this place, but other than their burgers, nothing really blows me away.

Dusty’s defines dive bar, with that old lovable cigarette haze looming over the pool tables and dart boards. At first stumble in, I’d probably turn right back around and walk out… but if you give it a few minutes (and perhaps strong drinks), you just may like it. Not a huge fan of the connecting door over to Hailey’s, which has since become a dance/​night club venue, but hey, it keeps it interesting. If you go late enough at night, there’s no telling who/​what you’ll see go down.
I’m slightly embarrassed to say it, but I think my main motivation to come here is for the bar food. And while I typically would not be filling my face with fried delicacies from such an establishment, I would highly recommend it here! Top 3 foods to get: cheeseburger, patty melt, chips & queso. All with a side of waffle fries, naturally. This place is definitely a guilty pleasure, but you can have a good time with some cheap drinks on special and play a round of pool if you’re so inclined.

Loooooove this place!!! Cool people, good drinks, good food, and there is pool. Everything I look for in a good bar!

I would not return. Our server seemed off, but she could have been new, we’ll give her that. Otherwise she was pleasant enough. One of the responsibilities of an established bar and grill is to be stocked on supplies; Dusty’s was uncertain about their margarita mix and did not have potato chips. We don’t need potato chips anyway. Fine. The fries bearing the signature name of the restaurant were also fine. So were the burgers. Definitely fine, not gross, but the mediocre kind of fine, the kind of fine you utter when you’re having a bad day, or a bad experience.

We got a coupon for a buy one get one burger and decided to try the place.
Cheese fries were ok. The burger of the day was a «cream cheese burger»… what? Server said Shiner was a domestic for the $ 5 pitcher, what we got was watered down lone star. Burgers were sub par at best.
Decide it wasn’t the worst, ask for bill, give waitress coupon. Apparently I didn’t tell her in time and we can’t use the coupon. Perfect.
They really need to get their act together, I felt bad for them.

1 star because there is nothing less to give these people. Over an hour for four to-​go dinners. Web menu no where near accurate. Food half cooked and OVERpriced. My friends and I will NEVER come back.

Okay. First Unilocal ever. I’m a pescatarian. I just had their veggie burger. It’s black bean based patty (I had it on their whole wheat bun). The BEST VEGGIE BURGER I’VE EVER HAD! The atmosphere is definitely lacking as it is a dive bar but I find dive bars to be the best places. Their health department ratings were through the roof high, so I felt safe eating the food. The bartender was very nice, and offered me options as far as vegetarian foods go. We went at 5:30, and were blown away by their power hour from 5 – 6 where pretty much all the liquors (except for super high premiums) were only $ 2.
Why only 4 stars then? I have been here a few other times, literally twice before, and those times the staff was very short and seemed flustered/​frustrated. That said, our bartender today totally made up for it.
Definitely a place to check out and definitely a place to come drink for super cheap.

Nothing like a hole in the wall stop at the end of what we deemed Sunday Funday. A group of us spent the day out riding from Lewisville to Justin to Denton and this was the last stop of the evening. Dark and smokey with the occasional tin beer sign and the neon versions as well. Cheap beer and good conversation. What more could you need?
If you do need more, it is a pool hall and there are darts as well and music pumping through the place via an electronic jukebox. It is also one of the few places left in Denton that you can smoke inside. So be aware of that.
They had Shiner Octoberfest. So I was happy. Not much else to say about Dusty’s but it is a place I will visit a little more often.
Support Denton businesses.

Just like many of the bars in Denton, Dusty’s is your average stop off for a brew and some pretty decent bar food. The pool hall gets a little cramped if there are people playing darts and you can’t avoid leaving smelling smoky, but that doesn’t take away from some friendly service and good drink specials. $ 2 domestic bottles on Mondays is a pretty sweet deal if you’re looking for a cheap drink!

This is a great place for darts, pool, food and of course the cheap drinks and shot specials. The staff is always fun and charismatic. Try a Dustys burger with waffle fries and you won’t be disappointed but all the food is great.

Pretty good waffle fries. Good service. Drinks are so-​so. Gets real loud sometimes.

Demerits for smoking, but what else is a bar for?
Nachos are WONDERFUL, service is friendly and not fast, but usually there is only one person preparing orders, so relax and anticipate. Menu surprising for a small place, good variety, haven’t had anything bad yet. The place is clean, too.
Just wish smoke wasn’t so irritating or they had a good filter so I could go more often.
Open until 2 a.m. some nights. Great for Denton!

They used to sell what was called the Big Ass Burrito. I think I was the only one that ever ordered it. They were huge, delicious, and cheap-​they had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, onions, etc. I have had the fish and chips, the fish is in this hash brow breading and the chips are waffle fries. Their waffle fries are good not outstanding. They have 2-​dollar Tuesdays for their drinks and I think pool is free until 6pm.
