Overview

About This Establishment

Red Dirt Diner sits with red cliff views as the burgers fire up. The Cowboy Burger bites with a heavy chew from twin bison patties, smoky bacon, and onion rings, finished with a bold BBQ tang. The Vegetarian Black Bean Burger stays savory with pickled onions and cowboy sauce, while the Cowboy Corn adds a fried, creamy crunch. Casual, with a scenery payoff that makes the bite feel earned.
