    Omahawt chicken sandwich
    Tim S.

    Without question the best execution and most expertly delivered chicken sandwich I have ever seen. The texture, cooking temp, moisture and presentation were all Michelin level stuff. No joke. These guys aren't playing around. I got the Omahawt and I'll be honest, the spice template and flavor profile wasn't what I was expecting. It had some smoky and almost bbq traces to it, not the sharp/sweet Nashville profile I was anticipating. That being said, undoubtedly the best technique and presentation I've ever seen of a chicken sandwich. I'd skip the green beans personally but hey, it's unique.

    This was my second time at Dirty Birds and it absolutely delivered again. The food is consistently on point. We shared the Omahawt wings and Deeb O Rings and everything came out hot flavorful and exactly how it should be. You can tell they care about doing things right and not just riding hype. The Old Fashioned deserves special mention. Easily one of the best I've had anywhere. Smooth well balanced and a little unique thanks to their use of sarsaparilla concentrate. It works. Great food solid drinks and a place that stays consistent on repeat visits. That's what keeps me coming back and I'll definitely be back again.

    Double Bacon Smash Burger

    I've put off coming to the new location at the Flatiron for too long, and I really regret it! What an awesome location and they're still serving up excellent food. I came by to try their burger and I was blown away! The burger was perfectly assembled - two smashed patties, bacon. The house pickles are phenomenal and really elevated the burger, alongside the house made black sesame seed buns. I can't wait to come back for my next one! Also, I can't say enough good things about the staff - they're always so nice and conversational, and they really make the restaurant feel welcoming!

    Fried fish sandwich

    When I saw their catfish sandwich on Instagram, I knew that was what I was going to have for dinner that night! I was not disappointed. The fish was perfectly crispy and even my husband who is not a fish person thought it was great. The sweet potato bun was a great addition to this sandwich! Perfect flavor and did a great sweet and savory balance. The one thing I will say is, I wish the sandwich didn't have so much sauce. It made it a little soggy by the end but, that's on me for not eating fast enough, hah.

    The Deboe sandwich needs no introduction.

    My goodness this place had it going on! Met a wingman for a work week lunch and grabbed a seat at the bar. The woman next to me says out on the blue to me 'Son, I'm from Georgia and you need to order this here Debbie chicken sandwich'. Now I don't believe in coincidence, so I did exactly that. The Deboe is substantial, this thing has presence on the plate when it comes out (note, it was cut in half)! Freshly baked bread, housemade pickles, a kiss of hot honey and the quality of the fried chicken breast is lights out. Juicy, flavorful, perfect crunch - I know you get it when I'll summarize with all the things. Efficient and kind servers are ready go take your order and ensure you leave full and happy. Check them out in the downtown 402!

    Omaha is home to several restaurants visited by the Mayor of Flavortown but Dirty Birds is by far one of my faves. You'll have to watch the episode to get the words from the man himself. Previously in the Switch Food Hall, Dirty Birds claims the ground floor on the Flatiron Building...so you've got prime people watching on two sides and 3 times the parking opportunities. Walking distance from the Children's Museum and the Magnolia Hotel; and not too far of a jaunt if dining before a show at The Orpheum. Nobody who works here is a non-believer. I played it safe on the OG Chicken Sandwich but it didn't stop them from trying to pitch me a braver option. Food is fast...hot...and full of flavor. Never a dull visit. Skip lunch if coming for dinner...you're not leaving hungry. Or leaving with a big to-go box. Lots of flavor, a moderate amount of sass and edge; unique to the core. A must for out of town guests and Food Royalty.

    Omahawt
    Cheryl L.

    I ordered the Omahawt because it sounded spicy. I loved the Nashville flavor and as I'm not usually a fan of mayo, I was happy to see that it was lightly applied. I really, really liked the pickled green beans that came on the sandwich. They were yummy! I have to say that these sandwiches are HUGE. Be prepared to use a knife and fork. We also ordered a side of Jalapeño slaw which was delicious. All in all great food. The only drawback was the wait time for our food, which they warned us about.

    There is so much hype surrounding this place. Finally, I decided to try it for myself...and...it's 100% NOT overrated. The service was great, the location is in the beautiful flatiron building, and a lovely outdoor patio with parking accessible. And with all that said, the food surpasses all. I got the Debo sandwich and a side of onion rings. I took the risk of taking it to-go and driving 20 minutes home before eating it. I was expecting a juicy soggy bun by the time I could eat it and I was so wrong. This magical creation somehow was still perfectly in tact after travel. The sauces were JUST enough, the flavors are almost indescribable and that chicken was crisp and juicy at the same time. Onion rings are some of the best in Omaha, and they do not skimp on the side of ranch, hallelujah. I'm not sure what sorcery happens behind the scenes at this spot but please do not stop. My only complaint is the limited hours. I have since then tried to return and both times were halted by their hours. Closed Monday and Tuesday and only open til 3pm on Wed and Sunday. We consumers says oof - that's rough to plan around.

    The best restaurant in Omaha!!! The chicken and pancakes are the best brunch I've ever had. I get it every time I go. The buns for their sandwiches are homemade and are out of this world. Service is great, usually the same people working so it's nice to see familiar faces. I love to support this restaurant.

    My love for Dirty Birds surpasses my love for many things in this world. The people at the front are always super nice! You order up at the front then they take your food to you. I've had the OG a couple times and would highly recommend if it's your first time getting dirty. The wings are so saucy and juicy, plus the pancakes were fluffy and had blackberries, blueberries, and cream cheese.. I think, in it. OH AND THE BISCUITS! Don't even get me started. The strawberry jam and butter, chefs kiss! They have a seasonal menu so things do change, but my love for them does not.

    I really need to bring Dirty Birds into my regular rotation because I LOVE it. I typically get their normal chicken sandwich which is amazing on its own, this time I added Debo sauce from the table (I couldn't remember if it was too spicy for me) and quickly got hooked. The Debo sauce has just the perfect amount of heat, but not too much for anyone scared away by spicy foods - I love that it's on the tables so you can try for yourself if you're nervous. The fries are also tasty and though the food is a little expensive, depending on how much food you eat, you're most likely going to have a second meal to eat as leftovers. Could not recommend any more!!

    Sweet potato dessert
    John M.

    Had an awesome experience at Dirty Birds! The food was incredible, and the portion sizes are HUGE, you definitely get your money's worth. The service was just as impressive, super friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even better. And the sweet potato dessert... absolutely amazing, a must-try. Everything about this place exceeded expectations. I'll definitely be back!

    Alexis B.

    Dirty birds was hands down the best chicken sandwich and pancakes I've ever had. The fries were awesome also! The vibes and staff were so friendly and fun, I've been recommending to everyone who will listen! Definitely will be coming back.

    Oh. My. Gosh! This is by FAR the most classic, good-ole boy, make-you-wanna-order-another burger…read moreI've had in years! It came out quick and took me straight back to when I was a boy eating a burger with my momma at the local "Georgia's Drive-In" that we had back home when I was a kid. The woman, who I assume was the manager, that took my order was so sweet! When I came in she was sweeping, and I accidentally sat right in her way after I ordered! Instead of being rude about it like most would nowadays, we had a nice laugh and conversation. I always appreciate someone giving a smile instead of a scowl in response to an honest mistake! It goes a million miles further and, believe it or not, makes the food taste better! The atmosphere isn't going to be your Michelin style, clean cut and polished restaurant, and THANK GOODNESS! Being in Omaha for business seems to take the human out of you sometimes, but this place took me right back to the diners of my childhood. I'm not typically one to order a second go around, but boy it was tempting... I may have to go back tonight to try it again... just to make sure I really liked it! Overall 10/10. Try this place, it was enough to make me call home! (No joke!)

    A most wretched morn at McDonald's-…read more Attend, dear reader, to the sorrowful tale of my breakfast venture, a woeful saga penned in grease and despair. I arrived at yon McDonald's in the early light, belly rumbling like thunder o'er a stormy moor. I sought but humble fare: a sausage biscuit, golden hash browns, and sweet orange elixir to wake my weary soul. Alas--what folly. The line, long as Hamlet's soliloquy, did not move but crawled, as if each patron were requesting a feast of fifty hens. The staff, though present in form, did seem lost in spirit--wand'ring aimless like ghosts in Macbeth's heath. Twenty minutes passed, though the sun seemed not to shift. I aged in that queue, a man undone by time. When at last my name was called (or rather, mispronounced thrice), I was handed a sack--a trojan bag, bearing not what I ordered, but what some other soul must now lament the lack of. Bacon lay where sausage should have slept. The hash browns? Gone, vanished like fair Ophelia. My juice? Replaced by naught but air and disappointment. I returned to the counter, voice trembling with morning grief, only to be told, "We're short-staffed." Aye, and shorter still on care or correction. In sum: Service slower than a tortoise in a tragic play. Orders more wrong than Iago's intentions. Atmosphere bleak as King Lear's moor. If breakfast be the most important meal, then surely I was doomed from bite one. I left not fed, but philosophizing. Would I return? Only if cursed. - Ty, Son of Hunger, Mourner of Mornings Past
