Always consistently good food at Dirty Birda in OB. The wings are some of the best I have ever had. The variety of flavors is unparalleled. The bar is always lively and full of fun people giving off great vibes. Shawn is a fantastic bartender, and he is always keeping things light and funny. Dog friendly too! read more

Watched Norway vs. England here and the places was packed. Lines at the bar and a line out the door. We had a seat in the main dining room and you can see the big screens from every angle. The lone waitress was sweet as hell and running her ass off all day. She still kept up with the massive crowd and our party had a great time. Their "boneless" wings are just large chunks of breast meat. Very meaty but quite dry. The classic wings were amazing and much more of what you'd come to expect. They were delicious. This is a fun spot to hang out or watch a game. read more

We stopped in to watch the Knicks - Cavs Eastern Conference Finals game & sat at the bar. Dirty Birds is spacious & bright, and they have a great atmosphere. The game went not-so-well for me as Cavs fan, but the Cauliflower wings were tasty with the buffalo sauce & ranch. M. enjoyed his wings quite a bit & not a morsel of meat was left on any of the bones. Dirty Birds is a great place to watch a game, grab a bite & relax in a fun and friendly environment. The TVs are big & they are good quality as well. The bartender is super friendly and very efficient. This is my favorite place to watch sports & eat wings in the area. Peace. read more

I do enjoy this spot, but I always gotta prepare myself to visit. The parking-it's tough to find a free spot that you won't feel like your vehicle won't get broken into. (it's OB) The food-the wings are big, the sauces are great and there are plenty of options. The value-the wings may be tasty, but you gotta be high to pay over $2\wing. The only time to come here is during happy hour. From 3 to 6 they have half off wings and every Wednesday is half off boneless wings all day. The atmosphere-I'm not quite sure what it is about wing joints that seems to attract the same stereotypical clientele, but you will find the same sad single men at the bar as you would at a Buffalo Wild Wings during happy hour. See attached photo of the sign posted in the men's room and you will understand exactly what I am talking about. I mean, who does this?!? Overall, it's a wing joint. Don't expect anything else and be prepared to take a shower when you get home to wash off the sauce and general OB ick. read more

Dirty Birds Ocean Beach - This is the type of clientele to expect here. - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Update: they were very accommodating and have informed me the buy one get one free Wing is coming back. Also it is a part of the liquor license where they don't have half price pictures but they have a decent deal on single beers but I do still think this should be more obvious on the menu I've been going to dirty birds since the first month they opened in PB And probably have spent thousands of dollars at all of their locations. They have some of the best wings in the country but they used to be affordable. During happy hour they now charge $30 for a pitcher of beer, and their wings or buy one get one half off which brings the price to $1.50 per wing. So for 10 wings and a pitcher which you split with someone else, you were going to spend over $50. It is no longer worth ever going to dirty birds. read more

First time to D B and what a cool spot to catch the Padres. Alyse took great care of us and we will be back. Today, we had bourbon and fried green beans. I know what you're thinking, no wings? Next time for sure. read more

Amazing wings and the drinks especially the sangria is a favorite of mine! The staff are incredible too!

Big spacious, sporty vibe with lots of tvs. This spot was surprisingly empty for college football, but it worked out nicely because we were seated right away and food came out quickly. Food here is always delicious and I love the many different wing sauce choices. read more

Dont get it twisted, they don't just serve wings. They serve every game day bites that you would love. Customer service is great, even during a crowded game. Staff are friendly, went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. Ambiance is laid back and casual. Seriously just place you can come to enjoy game day. read more

Super bad experience! We arrived and the host told us they can seat us right away, but we waited for 10 plus minutes. We asked if we could just sit at the patio, and she said yes, there are empty seats out there from when we got there. And then we waited 20 minutes and no water, no one asked what we wanted to order. Finally there's a waiter came to take our order, we asked to go because we had a baby with us! During the waiting, no water, and no waiters come by, we waited almost half an hour to get our food. I'm very sensitive to raw onions so I asked no onion in my salad, but!!! There're onions in it when I opened it back home. Can I return it??? Or ask a refund. I totally feel I wasted my time and money. read more

everything tastes horrible. got the hummus and pita, the hummus was gross. got the hot chicken sandwich with ranch, most unappealing and gnarly tasting sandwich ever. everything tasted old. like how do you mess up ranch and a chicken sandwich. I also got unsweetened black tea it tasted like there was raspberry or some other taste in the tea. 0/10 read more

A staple everytime I pull up! Seems like each location got the same manual, to dry that food to perfection. The service was great, and I actually like the big windows, lets the sun come in, and the open floor. Very spacious. Food was great per usual, one day I'll try another flavor for my cauliflower wings/chicken wings, but until then I'll stick to what's tasty, which is almost everything ! read more

Best wing spot in San Diego. The dirty ranch and 3-Pete Barbeque flavor are great and they always cook the wings perfectly. My only complaint is these wings are still expensive a little over 2$ a wing. However if you are willing the spend the money highly recommend! read more

Like a more expensive but lower quality cheba hut. Server clearly forgot my order and I had to ask him to check on it. It then arrived immediately cold and the cheese had that look of being forgotten in the microwave. No acknowledgment. Just bad service and bad food. read more

We have always been huge Dirty Birds fans. This was terrible. Tasted dry and reheated, tots were soaked in grease. One of those experiences that made you sad you wasted your money. Server was kind which is why 2 stars over 1 star review. read more

I thought the food was OK but I enjoyed the atmosphere here and the Friday night trivia. I shared the dirty chicken sandwich and one of the burgers with my friend. Neither one blew me away but we were hungry and enjoyed the meal. They are big on chicken wings so maybe we just ordered the wrong things... Service was great, lots of TVs to watch games! read more

Dirty Birds Ocean Beach - Dirty Chicken Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Dirty Birds can get quite crowded but we managed to come by when it was almost dead. The crowd started rolling in for trivia as we were getting our food. We chose to site outside and there was a decent outside dining area, and we had our dogs with us which was no problem at all. They have all kinds of unique wings here. I got to try Mango Habanera, Fireball, Bangkock BBQ and Garlic Parm. The fireball was pretty unique but a bit too sweet for me and extremely sticky. No regrets trying them though. We also ordered some fries with salt and vinegar spices. The fries are breaded so not your typical fries, they were ok to me but I think my wife liked them. Can't wait to try some more wing varieties next time we are there. There is a crazy number of different wings to choose from. The wings were good quality and nice and crispy. The staff was friendly and came by often. They also have a nice beer on draft selection and there was a decent sized bar inside. read more

I lived in OB pretty much my whole life and recently had to move up north. My god I miss this place. I've tried to fill the void in my heart with other wings, but it's just not possible to find another good boneless wing spot. I'm literally sitting here eating wings in Oceanside and it just makes me miss Ocean Beach even more. Don't take this place for granted lol. read more

Dirty Birds Ocean Beach - a disappointment that cost 20 bucks - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This place has some of the best chicken wings I have ever had, we came in when it was happy hour and ordered a large amount of wings, and a basket of well seasoned salt and vinegar fries. For the wings we tried Mango Habanero, Fireball, Bangkok BBQ, and Garlic Parmesan. They were all very good, the Mango Habanero was not spicy at all, but my favorite was the Fireball, it tasted like cinnamon maple syrup. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and they offer a large selection of sauces. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere at Dirty Birds is casual and relaxed, and it's an easy walk to the beach. The staff is friendly and attentive, I can't wait to come back and try more of their sauces. read more

I had never visited this location but the flavors and service were consistent with the other locations - absolutely awesome. I had the dirty Jamaican jerk and the ABC which were delicious as usual. Ryan and Dillon were both good dudes and made sure my first visit would not be my last one. Excellent! read more

Great ambiance and fun in the sun. CJ my server was friendly, informative and very knowledgeable.

Dirty birds has good flavored wings! I did enjoy the food, however, the service was unfortunately, pretty poor. The service you get, determines the kind of meal you have & all I could find myself thinking/talking about was how poor quality the service was. Given its popular location, big parties take over this place, so of course, my table of 2 got overlooked a LOT. After we got seated, we basically had to beg someone to take our order, bring us drinks, take the check, etc. We waited a pretty long time to just get our drinks & then our food. We felt like the forgotten child. It was pretty disappointing. No one was rude or anything, but would definitely visit another location if you want quality service. read more

Alyse was our server this time in. This is a casual wing/bar stop with TV's everywhere! This would be a great spot for larger parties, work meet ups, etc. We were here in the evening taking advantage of the happy hour pricing for the buy one order of wings at regular price and 50% off the second order. We ordered lemon pepper and buffalo style chicken wings. We also ordered iced tea and a glass of red wine. The wait time was a bit too long to get both drinks and food. While we were there we only saw our server besides a bartender. Our drinks were decent but had a bit of a wait once again for refills of iced tea. The wings were decent. The crispness of them were on point but the lemon pepper was a bit too salty, definitely not as good as I had remembered from visits past. The buffalo wings were better and moist, not too hot, sauce to meat ratio good as well. Maybe an off day? Won't be rushing back but if we're in the area we'd give them another try. read more

Wow this place is extremely bad. I don't understand how this restaurant sells mainly wings yet the wings themselves are nasty and all our food was served cold. There was barely anyone inside too and now we know why. The service is also really bad when we asked which wings were which our server couldn't even answer?? We just had to guess? Literally go to any other establishment in ocean beach because this place is just a low quality chain and I'm honestly never returning. read more

When I arrived there was only one waiter who was also working the bar. Despite having to man the dining room on his own he was pleasant and attentive. There was a bone-in wing special so I ordered the Seoul Wings which were tasty. I also ordered the friend shrimp basket (and I do NOT recommend that to anyone). The breading was falling off of the shrimp. If you want good seafood there's a fish market/bar/restaurant down the street on Santa Monica Ave. Otherwise, I highly recommend Dirty Birds for drinks, cheap eats and good vibes. EDIT** Updating my review to 5 stars. The owner reached out to me (unexpectedly) and modified my bill due to my review. While that wasn't the goal of my review it was greatly appreciated and I am so appreciative of the level of customer service. Especially since I'd only eaten there one hour ago. That was very kind. read more

My teenage son loves this place so I had to try it. It was very good, just a little expensive. Food wise it was top notch. Me and the kids have been eating and loving Wings N Things (Epic Wings) for the past 15 years and it's my go to spot in SD, but in terms of pure wings this place has a lot more options and is probably better. Wings - better here. Breadsticks and chicken strips - better there. Plus not to be cheap but here you have to give a $6+ tip - the service was great - and I prefer the more fast food nature of Wings N Things. But if you just want great wings, this place is perfect for you. read more

Best wings, service, and beer in San Diego. Very clean & the atmosphere is so cool. I love how many flavors of wings they offer and honestly they're all absolutely amazing! I also love that all the good sports games are on the tv's. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Dirty Birds is a must have when watching sports or just looking for some good wings. I actually had their BBQ Burger one time and it was great. Surprisingly, my favorite item was a side. The Mac N Cheese was outta this world. Every member on the staff and behind the bar treat you with A+ service. Plus, they host Charger watch parties on gamedays. Bolt up read more

Without a doubt the best wings in town. I've come here solo, with out of town friends, and college buddies. Never have I ever been disappointed in anything. The servers are fun and helped us save a few $ because it was happy hour. They give on point recommendations for their beverages. I'm working through the entire wings menu and haven't had a bad one yet. Parking is easy because it's far enough away from the ocean, but you can still walk to the beach afterwards. I love coming here and keep making great memories with my friends. read more

Great wings. Good service. Great beer options. A ton of TVs including an outside set up

Sat on the patio, got wings and tots. Wing sauces were very good! I wish the tots had queso instead of just melted cheese - but it was still very yummy. Also they have a dog menu, our dog loved his beef patties. Nice patio, had TVs to watch baseball games. Service was great! read more

For all you East coasters. You have nothing to speak about your wings when it comes to Dirty Birds! Even though was a cook at the Ocean Beach location, I have to be honest and speak highly of the organization. Dirty Birds a a whole is by FAR the best restaurant in the United States for wings!! The wings are outstanding! I order them all flats because you get more meat and it's easier to eat. The flavors are house made and made with care. I cannot allow myself to be an ex-employee and talk trash. Adam and Johnny (the Owners) have worked their asses of to make Dirty Birds what it is today. If you are a tourist and you walk by any restaurant and see how packed it is inside, are you really going to continue walking to find another place to eat? No! Wait in line, and see what all the fuss is about. You Will be pleasantly surprised. Not just the wings are good, the entire damn menu is superb! Seriulsy. When the time comes that I can afford the franchise fee to own and operate my own location, you can bet that I will run it smoothly and efficiently! I LOVE WILL DIRTY BIRDS FOREVER!!!!!! I didn't mention that there is also a Dirty Birds food truck. If you haven't had Dirty Birds, you can visit their food truck every Thursday night at the Santee Summer Concert Series. Love you Shawnn Silvermann! read more

Food was good, but the service was a bit on the slow side. The servers were friendly and were doing the best they could since the place was very busy read more

Restaurant is spacious, restrooms were decent, and the bartender was friendly. The food was not good, and I personally would not return. We ordered the fried pickles, barbecue burger and tots. I asked for the barbecue sauce to be placed on the side. I tried the sauce once my food arrived and wasn't a fan of it. The burger was bland so I used honey mustard sauce to dip it in before biting. My husband ordered the big bird burger with onion rings and he didn't enjoy it. We ate a little less than half of our sandwiches. We closed with dessert and found it to be good. read more

We were craving some happy hour wings and of course we had to come to Dirty Birds in Ocean Beach. This has been our go-to Dirty Birds out of all their locations. We came on a Thursday around 3 pm (happy hour M-F 3-6pm) and received awesome customer service. It wasn't busy and we decided to sit at the bar. My FAVORITE is the 'apple bourbon chipotle flavor'. Hopefully they release it in a bottle sometime soon! For this visit I decided to try a new flavor which as 'Ninja'. While it is good, I still prefer my go-to, apple bourbon chipotle. My bf's favorite is the Dirty Wet Jerk. Dirty Bird's is our favorite wing spot and also they offer so many other delicious food items! read more
