It is used to describe a cheap, simple, or no frills eatery that prioritizes fast service and low prices over ambiance, cleanliness, or gourmet ingredients. People typically say "Let's just grab something at a quick-and-dirty spot" when they are hungry but don't care about where they eat. The term originated in American casual speech during the mid 20th century, extending beyond restaurants into any fast, rough, or temporary solution, but remains common in dining slang.
