Going to a concert at Red Hat Amphitheater, a game at PNC Arena, or an event downtown? The Dirty V at 301 Glenwood Avenue in Glenwood South is the smart stop for a pre-event meal. Our fast-casual format gets you fed quickly with filling plant-based comfort food, so you can focus on enjoying the event instead of hunting for overpriced venue food. Here's your pre-event eating strategy.
Time it right: plan to eat 1-2 hours before your event starts. Order at our counter for the fastest service — most meals are ready in under 10 minutes. Choose filling items that will sustain you through a 2-3 hour event. Skip the shake if you're in a rush (save it for after). Park strategically if you're heading to a venue after eating.
Stop at The Dirty V on Glenwood Ave before Downtown Raleigh events. Fast counter service, filling plant-based food ready in under 10 minutes. Open daily from 11am.
For speed, go with the Basic Betty burger and waffle fries. It's filling, fast, and satisfying. The Big Betty double is better if you need to power through a long event. Add a water or juice to stay hydrated. Our counter service means you can be eating within 5 minutes of walking in the door.
Going to an event with friends? Order on Toast before you arrive so everything is ready when your group walks in. Each person can customize their order online, and you can pick up as a group.
