Taking the family to Downtown Raleigh for a meal? The Dirty V at 301 Glenwood Avenue serves the kind of food kids and adults both love — burgers, fries, mac and cheese, and milkshakes — all 100% plant-based. Our fast-casual format is family-friendly by nature: no long waits, no stiff dining room, just great food in a welcoming atmosphere. And because everything is vegan, families dealing with dairy allergies, egg allergies, or other dietary restrictions can eat with confidence.
Our menu is built around foods that kids naturally gravitate toward: burgers, fries, mac and cheese, hot dogs, and milkshakes. The Basic Betty burger is a crowd-pleaser for younger diners — simple, familiar, and delicious. Our waffle fries are crispy and fun to eat. And our mac and cheese is creamy comfort food that kids devour. Our milkshakes come in kid-friendly flavors like chocolate, strawberry, and Cookie Monster.

For families managing food allergies, The Dirty V is a relief. Our entire kitchen is 100% plant-based, which means zero dairy, zero eggs, and zero meat. That eliminates the most common childhood food allergy triggers right out of the gate. We also offer gluten-free bun substitutions and nut-free preparations on request. Talk to our staff about your child's specific needs and we'll help navigate the menu safely.
Our counter-service format is ideal for families. Kids don't have to sit still waiting for food — order at the counter and meals arrive quickly. There's no pressure from hovering waitstaff, and the casual atmosphere means nobody minds if things get a little loud. Our Glenwood South location also offers patio seating, which gives kids a bit more room to enjoy the fresh air.
Free street parking along Glenwood Avenue on evenings and weekends makes arriving with the family easy. Our space accommodates strollers. For the best family experience, visit during early lunch (11am-noon) or early dinner (5-6pm) when the restaurant is less crowded. On weekends, family brunch before 11am is a great option.
