DAMN...... Me and some friends hit up Dirty Birds at least once a month, however something has changed recently! The wings are even better than usual. THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!! Whatever you have done to go from top notch to beyond top notch is going to get us back sooner than later. Keep up the great work and see you guys soon! read more

This place used to have some of the best wings around, which is why this is so disappointing. The quality has absolutely fallen off. The wings were overcooked, dry to the bone, and tasted like they had been sitting out before being served. Charging $23 for 10 wings for food in that condition is ridiculous. At this point, it feels like this place is relying on its old reputation while serving food that no longer matches the price. If you're going to charge that much, at least serve wings that are fresh and actually enjoyable to eat. Either the kitchen needs to seriously get it together, or this place is going to keep losing the customers who used to actually love coming here...you lost me. read more

Came back for another go round... we have always loved the vibe at Dirty Birds!! It's the coolest place! But so disappointed in the food. Tried again, and a no go... the hardest take for me was the boneless chicken being so dry, and not much sauce so asked for extra sauce and was charged $2 for a small cup of the buffalo sauce that came on my dry chicken... then an additional surcharge at the end as well as $1.50 for ranch... just can't do it again for a vibe. $100 for very sub par food. So bummed.. read more

I've always loved the salads a dirty birds. They're absolutely massive and really flavorful. My server convinced me to do fried chicken over grilled chicken with my salad, and it was a total hit. read more

Dirty birds truly has the best chicken wings! Always crisp and white meat chicken, u can also get all flats or all drum sticks if u ask and orders of 5, 10 or 15 with so many different varieties of flavors. I always end up sticking with the lemon pepper tho. 3 peat and Aztec wing flavors were really good tho. It has a elevated sports bar vibe. read more

Great food, but this location is super busy. We stopped in during happy hour and had our dogs with us after a beach day. The patio was busy and and the only tables available were directly in the sun. The wait staff here was just okay, the service at the OB location was a lot better. Our server was slow and forgot to bring out the blue cheese dressing we requested several times. The wings and fries were good though and we also got a happy hour pitcher of beer that paired well with our meal. Not sure if I would come back to this location, I prefer the OB location for their vibe. read more

Stopped by during Christmas (2025) weekend and it was really packed!!! The parking lot by Dirty Birds was packed as well so we had to park by the Corvette diner and walk over. It was a 30 minutes wait for a table so we decided to sit at the bar. Excellent service from the bartender. We had the Nashville hot wings and chicken Cesar salad, they were good. Plenty of restroom for customer use. read more

Dirty Birds is known for serving up some of the best wings in San Diego offering boneless and bone-in, over 40 flavors from no heat to really hot , and dry rubs to wet options. They have multiple locations including Liberty Station (Point Loma) (where we went), Pacific Beach, UCSD, College Area, and Ocean Beach. I'm a sucker for anything so of course we got their spicy garlic sauce on the wings, which was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of heat . We also really enjoyed their dirty tots, super nachos and of course crispy pickles, which are always a must when we see them on a menu - you can't go wrong with anything on their menu and most options were super kid friendly! We ordered: Boneless and Bone-in wings in Spicy Garlic Mozzarella sticks Crispy pickles Dirty chicken tots Super nachos with steak Aztec fries Honey mustard chicken salad Macaroni and cheese (for our daughter) Prickly Pear Watermelon margarita Follow @allthingsfoodwithjandm (IG) for more must try San Diego restaurants, date night ideas, food experiences, kid friendly spots, with a sprinkling of home-cooking! read more

Came in for wings a couple weeks ago and they had good flavor but they're just not meat on the bone and they were so small. Last night I came in and they were back up to par. Giant and juicy with that flavor! Can't beat a good wing with some meat on the bone. read more

Feel like it's hard to find both, but not only are the wings HUGE, they are also JUICY

Whatever they have changed recently has been HUGE. Best wings in San Diego! I went a few weeks ago and wasn't stoked but they have definitely upped their game. read more

Come here all the time when in SD. Good flavors but wings are kinda dry sometimes. When it hits though it be HITTIN. read more

I usually get take-out, but I love their wing sauces. Always nice and crispy Service is great! read more

Food its good, beer is good, but the guy at the bar just rude, he got our order wrong and his scused was " you ordered like that" he would also walk away before we finish talking, and/or just ignoring us.. We were sitting at the bar. read more

Great wings and friendly customer service! Me and my husband love coming here when we visit San Diego!

Tons of options though definitely room to improve. First waiting to be seated due to signs the greeting was cold as we waited until after a couple of the girls finished their conversation from behind the bar. Food was surprisingly fast and after tasting, my wife and I figured out why. Food may be prepped in advance then dropped quickly for a new order. The fries tasted like they were double fried and hard in the center as well as the wings were on the slightly dry side. I may be back to give it a second try but my first impression wasn't the best. read more

Absolutely love this DB location! We came here to enjoy a Padres game on a saturday night and it wasn't too busy. We were seated promptly, served quickly, and able to enjoy most of the game before giving up on the Pads. The standout was absolutely the cheddar breaded cauliflower with dirty ranch. This is one of the best things i've ever had the honor of tasting. My meat eating boyfriend also said these stole the show. Would highly recommend! The best sauce around. read more

There's a reason this place is known for having some of the best wings in town. The Diablo flavor has always been my favorite and it's jus the right amount of spice that doesn't want to make you drink a gallon of milk after eating them. They have a lot of tvs if you're trying to watch a game or just come for the food only. Service was fast and the server made good recommendations. Definitely worth it if you're in the mood for some good wings read more

***if I could give 0 stars I would. They close at 10, we showed up at 9:15 and got turned down to order because apparently the kitchen is closed because "it's slow" and "light rain" SMH definitely disappointed. Corey the bartender didn't seem to care he just offered drinks. I guess money/tips is more important then feeding paying guests ‍ read more

Two of us went here for Takeaway lunch to the harbor. Had the dirty bird sandwich and 10 wings along with some onion rings. We had very good service taking our order but the food was slow in delivery. The prices are high. $46 for a to go lunch. Ten wings for $21.50 is over the top. They were good and tender but not really worth the price. The sandwich was nothing special and the onion rings were also just middle of the road. The food certainly had a chain vibe look and taste. Not bad but not worth a return trip for us. read more

We came with a large group on a weekday around lunch. Wasn't crowded and convenient that they have parking next to the building. Service was good and the food was good. Also had on a great playlist! read more

Many flavors of wings to choose from! They have a variety of bar food/sando and wings. You'll find some unique flavors like Fireball which has a whiskey glaze. However, the wing was a bit overcooked and dried on the inside. The store has indoor and outdoor seating. Great for large parties or snack area from the mini golf next door. The staff are friendly. read more

We've been coming here for a few years and always bring family when they're in town to visit. It's a fan favorite! It's a sports bar and wing place and the wings are always good! The 4 of us ordered 2 dirty ranch chicken tots/fries and it was plenty for the four of us. We all loved it. The fries/tots were cooked perfectly and the sauce and cheese and chicken compliment each other very well. Our drinks were all good and we appreciated that we were able to sample the ciders before ordering a glass. The dessert was a disappointment and not good. It was a brownie with ice cream and whipped cream. It was all low quality and the brownie was hard and lacked flavor. The ice cream was fine and the whipped cream had an odd flavor to it. Our server was very kind and helpful and attentive. She brought us out new silverware when needed and made sure we were always satisfied with our drinks. The ambiance is nice inside with the sports bar feel. The patio is a nice addition as well. I would recommend coming here for their wings, but not the dessert. read more

Amazing wings. Soooooo good. Wish I could go more often!! Flavor...texture...it was all there.

All the food was decent not too impressed could be cause it was a Thursday afternoon at Liberty Station. It all tasted well and the drinks were good. The service was nothing to write home about, our server had maybe one other table but she really only checked us at the the very end. We sat outside and it was such a nice day and we could see the people playing golf. But that was about it read more

I was craving Dirty Birds, considering that they have some of the best wings I've had! I was around the area & decided to stop by for lunch yesterday. I sat at the bar & was instantly greeted by CJ. He took my order, my wings came out quick, & were delicious as usual! I had 10 wings, half Garlic Serrano & half Bruce Lee Wang. CJ is a great converser & made my time there very welcoming. Music was on point as well, playing all the good jams! Glad I got my fix of this place, will be back sooner than later! read more

Rude service from waitress. Overpriced. Wings were okay... too overcooked. Wouldn't recommend.

Loud music doesn't really bother me, in fact one of my friends wanted me to turn down the music at my party but it wasn't that bad IMO. But the music was INSANELY loud where my niece had to wear noise reducing head phones and my eardrums wanted to bleed! But on a lighter note the music was good. We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate my dad's death anniversary. It was pretty crowded but the wait wasn't bad considering they weren't doing outdoor seating because of the rain. I can't remember the name of our server but you can tell she didn't want to be there. I don't know if we came on an off day because we came at the suggestion of my sister in law who loves this place. But she had even mentioned the food was just not good. However the drinks were not bad! Let's break it down: GOOD -The drinks! All our drinks were really good. I got the Skrewball Cold Brew Martini, sister got the prickly pear lemonade and Hubs got the same as well as a PBJ. All were really good BAD -The wings were super SUPER dry like they had been sitting out for awhile and reheated. We doused it with ranch and other provided sauces but it was just too dry. On top of my sisters being dry, she said it was really greasy. -The sliders with onion rings. It was good, but it was cold. I don't usually complain about food being cold but it was cold. -The eardrum splitting music. I think I might need hearing aids now. Maybe we came on an off day, but for the amount of money we paid plus the added gratuity, I think I'll stick to B-Dubs. It's always been consistent and much cheaper. read more

So I will give them this, the food was quick. We'd put our order in and the food came right out. Where my family & I were seated, the booth had food and grease on it so I requested it to be clean and the table was EXTREMELY sticky! The food was honestly very basic, nothing special. We got a 10pc of Seoul wings (which are labeled as hot but weren't hot at all) The super nachos weren't bad but nothing special Overall good place for a quick bite 10pc is $20.95 Nachos- $13.95 (chicken was an additional $4) so $17.95 Ginger ale- $4.00 Kids tenders ( 2 strips with a side of fries or tots)- $9.95 Overall paid $51.25 ***Offers military discount*** read more

The food was pretty good. I got the Dirty Wet Jerk which I did not enjoy ordering but it tasted good. It tasted kinda like spicy barbecue sauce to me. The server was very friendly and nice. We sat outside and it was pretty nice in the shade. read more

Ok, I did come in on Wednesday and got the boneless wings deal so keep that in mind.. I came with a group of friends and we all ordered different flavors but when sharing our chicken (to try more flavors), everything either tasted of bbq sauce or buffalo.. which could be delish if the chicken was not super dry. You know when chicken is so dry, it squeaks between your teeth when you mash it powder? Yeah. Service was ok and the ambiance was really nice! read more

Dirty Birds used to be the prime example of good wings in San Diego. The quality has gone down hill drastically while the prices keep increasing. These were some of the driest wings I've ever had. The wife ordered extra crispy/wet boneless and they were like rocks. (Should have not ordered extra cripsy so we will take the hit on that). I ordered a 10 piece bone in (Hawaiian and Flaming Honey Mustard) and these things must have been cooked in a reactor. Also the for being "flaming" honey mustard, table salt is spicier. Not sure if they forgot an ingredient or what. For $2 a wing I'd at least like the meat to come off the bone, not have the bones shatter from being over cooked. Last time we plan on going to DB's. read more

All very tasty and extra crispy like we requested. The fried pickles were bomb. Service started out fast but then started to slow down.. had to wait a bit for another drink. Will def be back though. read more
