Dirty Birds

The pancakes were so darn good! My new favorite menu item. The chicken was also quite good, great flavor and cook. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and they also did not disappoint. The flavor of everything was great. The atmosphere of the place was really unique, loved the artwork. We got there a few minutes after opening on a Saturday and we were able to get parking right outside and I will say shortly after we got there the crowds started coming in. It might be a bit difficult to find seating during peak times but well worth it in my mind. The staff was also quite friendly and very open to helping you pick the best option for hunger levels.

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Also Mike may have been one of the best employees as well. I thought he was the owner. The owners need to give him a raise! This dude treated every customer like they were family and made this place stand out for sure. Highly recommend!

Tried today for the 1st time. It was extremely hot inside like the AC wasn't working. Told there would be a 45-minute wait because everything is made fresh. We appreciate them telling us ahead of time so we would decide if we wanted to stay or not. The bartender was great. Very knowledgeable about drinks and even turned us onto other drinks. About $15 average for drinks. We tried fried pickles and hush puppies for appetizers. The DEBO sandwich was HUGE. I didn't care for the chicken fried steak. The gravy didn't taste like anything, and the steak was hard. There are a couple of other things on the menu that we would like to try. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I each got the Debo, and we shared fries and onion rings. The onion rings were crunchy, the breading was seasoned perfectly and I love the sweet onions they use. The homemade ranch was a perfect paring with them! The fries were my favorite thickness, and were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside with light seasoning. I loved them! Now the main event- The Debo… soft bun, perfectly seasoned chicken, and the cucumber pickles add a great element of freshness. The highlight of my meal was the garlic seeped honey… oh my god I would get a bowl of it and dip everything within reach into it! Soooo tasty. Dirty Birds is now one of my favorite places and will crave it until next time! 🤩 that honey is going to be in my dreams lol

What a cool spot near downtown! Plenty of parking around the restaurant. It was busy on Friday for dinner, about an hour wait for food. I was craving a chicken sandwich so the wait was worth it. Got the deviled eggs which were delicious. Super creamy. The pickled veggies were a nice snack between bites. The fried pickles were awesome with a house made ranch and house made pickles. Plenty of batter for a delicious crunch. Best part of the meal was the chicken sandwich. Easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Insanely juicy with a ridiculous fry on it giving it the best texture possible. Huge brioche bun to soak up all the juices and the honey! Will absolutely be back!

Let's start off with the location inside the historic flat iron building, which is awesome. The seating inside is picnic table like, and when it is packed, you will end up sharing a table with other people. You order at the front desk and then find a spot to sit and they will bring your food out. We had an hour wait for our food on a Sunday around noon, but man-o-man was it worth it! The chicken was so juicy and tender and packed with flavor. The burger although cooked a little over my preference was still flavourful and delicious. The host checked in on everyone and kept everyone informed on the long wait time and kept everyone calm and comfortable during this time. Kids had chicken strips and a lasagna pasta. Strips were soooo tender and juicy, and the breading was crunchy and well seasoned and the homemade ranch was to die for and complimented the strips beautifully. The star of the show though was the lasagna pasta bowl. Strips of lasagna noodles with a rich, bold red sauce that had so many layers of flavors popping out when you ate it and topped with a scoop of ricotta. One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time and definitely recommend going as soon as you can!! 5 stars!!!!

The fried pickles have got to be some of, if not the best, I’ve ever had. The breading wasn’t soggy or thin. The food in general was delicious and we will definitely be back. The vibes were great too

The food was exquisite, and the sevice was great. The wait was 45-60 minutes, but everything seemed to be fresh and fried at the moment, so that's alright. My one complaint is that there was just 1 baby high chair. Seriously... do you expect us to enjoy eating a sandwich with an infant in our arms? There were 4 infants in the room and only 1 high chair...

First of all the ambiance as you enter chill laid / back vibe with lots of plants & awesome art on the walls Then you're immediately greeted by the welcoming friendly staff. I immediately felt at home and knowing I chose a great place to eat while visiting Omaha. My family and I loved the killer fried chicken!! The juiciest most mouthwatering chicken I've ever experienced! The batter has this amazing delicious ingredient I can't pin point but I was amazed!! So I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich! Just equally amazing! I had never previously ever tried a fried green tomato before so I figured, why not? So glad I did! It was a flavor explosion in your mouth! From the freshly baked bun to the cheese, the bacon, fried egg... tomato ... it was nothing short of incredible! This sandwich was so huge!!!! I could have easily shared all the servings were large to be honest. Thank you for making amazing food Dirty Birds!

Dirty Birds = SO GOOD! Just had the Chicken & Cake at Dirty Birds in downtown Omaha and WOW -- crispy, juicy chicken + sweet, fluffy pancake = perfection. Got to chat with Ms. Jasmine, one of the co-owners -- super kind and clearly passionate about what they're building here. Amazing food, welcoming vibe, and a place I'll definitely be coming back to! #DirtyBirdsOmaha #ChickenAndCake #FoodieFind #SupportLocal #OmahaEats #FiveStars #MustTry #GoodVibesOnly

This place was a vibe! Great service.. Amazing food.. and great atmosphere! Visited Dirty Birds on a Saturday evening and the atmosphere was on point.. it felt like Hip Hop and R&B night.. the song playlist was from the 90's to current and there was not one bad song heard!! I couldn't stop dancing in my chair to enjoy my food LoL.. We had the Fried pickles and they were a 10/10!! Also had the chicken and waffles 8.5/10 and my husband had the chicken and pancakes 9/10... Overall would give the restaurant a 9/10.. you will not be disappointed!!

If you're searching for the best fried chicken and wings in Omaha, NE this is the SPOT! With grand portion sizes, deliciously crispy dishes it was worth the hour drive from Lincoln. All the servers were welcoming and kind with seating available inside/outside. Plan accordingly and ask for wait times as it can get busy. The sweet tea brined (dry rub) wings were super juicy and tender with their savory ranch. Will be coming back!

Every time I am in Omaha for work, my team cannot go without eating Dirty Birds. The food is amazing, with a unique and delicious menu every time. I ate the chicken and waffles and my other team members ate other dishes full of wonderful flavors on the menu. The staff is amazing, checking in and kind too! They also cater too- they recently catered for the Indigenous Peoples Summit 2025 - what an honor to eat two meals by Dirty Birds.

Great ambiance and friendly staff! I had chicken with French fries and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich - I can't remember the official menu name! We were visiting from the east coast and enjoyed this lunch spot!

Had dirty birds tonight! Love this place ! Operated and owned my fellow Roadies! They were busy tonight which makes me happy for them. About a hour wait but it went by quickly. The bartender was so friendly as well. I could literally drink their Debo sauce. So damn good! Had the OmaHawt tonight. Can't go wrong here

First, the most important thing...the food. I thought it was great. I had the OG sandwich. I'm not into fried chicken, but this was really good. A puffy Brioche bun was the foundation for a whopping big, crispy and juicy chicken tender with pickles and mayo. Of course I cut it in half and took part of it home. I shared onion rings with Big Bro, which were a standout since they were crispy with just the right amount of batter. Big Bro had a margarita to start, which looked really dinky to me for the $12 price. He liked it, about three swallows and it was gone. He ordered buttermilk waffles which had two fried chicken tenders, vanillabean berry syrup, macerated berries, créme fraîche and powdered sugar. He said it was delicious. He did say,though, that he would have liked just good, old-fashioned fried chicken but didn't see it on the menu until after the fact. The place is a small awkwardly shaped room which is natural given the shape of the building. I think they are going for a specific "vibe", which means eat and get going. Somewhere I saw a sign that said fast food, but it isn't. We were warned when we walked in that it would be 45 minutes to an hour before we would eat since everything is prepared to order. I was glad to get the heads up and we elected to stay. It was maybe 1/2 hour to get our rings to start. The seating is also meant to get diners out the door. Very sturdy, possibly custom built wood plank tables and benches aka picnic table style are not comfortable. But they are heavy so no one will tip off a bench. There was at least one high top table with metal chairs, but those didn't look comfy either. It was very loud with two big TVs going with sports eliciting cheers at times. There is creative spelling on the menu, maybe by design. If I go there again, I will pick a time when they aren't so crowded. The food is excellent but the vibe isn't for me.

They were very nice, food was great, the portion size was very good. Highly recommend.

My husband and I ate here while stopping in the area along our road trip. He tried the chicken & pancakes and I had the Omahawt sandwich. The meal was delicious! The pancakes were thick and fluffy and had blackberries cooked inside - reminded me of a cobbler taste. The Omahawt Sandwich exceeded my expectations for a spicy chicken sandwich. The fries were cooked to perfection. I'm so happy that we decided to give this place a try. The only negative thing was there were so many people inside that we had to sit outside, but hey, good for the restaurant, we really didn't mind. Also, don't expect your food to come out quick, this isn't a fast food type of place. They cook your food to order and it is well worth the wait!! If we find ourselves back in the area, we will definitely stop in again.

sometimes the wait can be long but it is WORTH IT. sandwiches are huge, wet delicacies. fries always fresh & fluffy. never had the beet salad before but it was GREAT!!! currently fighting of my cat bc he desperately wants a bite of this giant juicy sandwich. decor in here is hilarious, i love the collection of napkin chickens. keep up the awesome work!!

This was an awesome and worthy stop on the trip, I wanted something iconic to Omaha while we passed through for lunch and this was perfect. Mamma J was really helpful walking me through the menu and I was happy to know they had a gluten free option for their sweet tea brined tenders. I had them over a seasonal salad and my friend got the Omaha hot fried chicken sandwich. Everything was so perfectly cooked and the meat itself was so juicy I won't forget that chicken tender. The place itself is real large with lots of natural light on the corner of a pretty quiet block.

Some friends and I visited Omaha for a week recently, and tried out Dirty Birds, close to our hotel. It was so good. I had The OG fried chicken sandwich, which was the best ever. My friend had the Sweet Tea Brined Wings, which I sampled. They were probably the best wings I've ever had, no kidding. We went back a couple days later with another friend, and I had Chicken & Waffles. Again, the chicken was great, and the waffles were, too. No need to drown them in maple syrup, as they came with raspberries, powdered sugar, a light syrup and more. We all loved the food and will surely come back during our next visit to Omaha.

We came to eat lunch after checking out Creighton university. The music is fun, the vibe is upbeat and customers are happy to be eating good food. I had the salad, and it was a really good one with actually ripe tomatoes, fresh greens, and other yummies. The chicken was very juicy and tender. That sandwich my son had was so good, and so big he took home half for later . The biscuits and gravy was delicious, and a nice spin with a fried egg on top, like a Midwest Loco Moco! Definitely recommend eating here!

OG sandwich, dirty martini, onion rings and tenders. All incredible! Love the vibe, the music and the whole experience. Wanted to go back the next day for lunch but we waited a respectable 4 days. Ha!

How funny is it that their website is: [https://www.dirtybirds69.com/]? After they moved from their old Blackstone location, I only had the chance to visit their new spot once before moving to another state, and I'm really bummed about it. They started baking their own bread for their sandwiches, which took their food to the next level. I didn't think their OG sandwich could get any better, but it did. We ordered the OG sandwich and the biscuits and gravy because I'm always on the hunt for good Bs&Gs, though I've yet to find one that truly hits the mark--and this visit was no exception; it was just okay. The OG sandwich was far superior, and I was pretty sad when my boyfriend devoured most of it without offering me another bite. What's impressive is that they make almost everything in-house, except for the fries, which is a rarity these days when you can get so many things premade. Service was fine--nothing remarkable. We visited during an off-peak time, so the restaurant was quiet and practically empty, which made for a nice, peaceful meal.

Walked in on a busy Sunday and were told the wait time. We stayed and it was worth it. Should/could have shared and been happy but we got to go containers and loved the leftovers. Fantastic staff and the food was great also!

i've been coming to dirty birds since they first opened in blackstone and have always enjoyed the food! they've only gotten better as time goes on, and i love that the staff recognizes me when i walk in. the service is great and i love the overall feel of the restaurant. i've never had a bad meal here and love seeing what new dishes the chefs cook up. thanks for keepin it dirty

Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. When I go to a place that I've received a lot of recommendations for, I tend to get overwhelmed by the menu... Go simple and get their OG sandwich if its your first time, you will not regret it. Portions are large. Wait was reasonable since everything comes out fresh. Service was super friendly and laid back. What an iconic spot.

Everytime I come here I'm impressed, everything scratch made and the service is always incredible. A great setup always playing good music and good vibes. Shoutout to Mike, Jeff, and Mama J. Get the achiote chicken sandwich, the Debo, the Cuban, the OG, literally anything and you'll be pleased.

We entered Dirty Birds looking for a filling dinner after a day of driving. It's located in kind of a triangle shaped building, with plenty of seats both inside and out. It looks like it would be great for large groups given how large some of their tables are. The restaurant itself is counter service - you order at the counter all the way in the back, take a number and wait for your food at a table. We ended up ordering a couple of items given how hungry we were. Omahawt ($14) - Giant sandwich incoming - super huge breaded chicken thigh that completely dwarfs the bun. It turns out that a lot of it is breading, especially on the sides, but that breading is delicious and doesn't detract from the sandwich at all. The chicken is tossed in a pool of spicy cayenne oil, but while the oil is an angry red color, it's more bark than bite, with a smoky and bitter taste than heat. I couldn't really detect any sweetness or other flavors in the oil that I'd normally associate with a Nashville hot chicken. I'd consider it to be maybe a mild if you compare to a normal hot chicken place. The meat itself is tender and moist. Perched on top of the chicken are pickled green beans and underneath are plenty of pickles, fresh and tangy to contrast the spicy flavors. Everything is on a fluffy buttered homemade bun, although it isn't enough to contain all of the oil dripping off of the chicken. Seriously, there's a ton of oil dripping all over the place and you will get your hands dirty eating this - be sure to wash them after eating, or else you might regret it! (4/5) Biscuits & Gravy ($17) - This is a beautiful dish. A perfectly fried egg, with lacy, brown, crispy edges and a just set yolk rests on a fried chicken thigh, with biscuits and a fantastic sausage gravy to serve as the base. There's a dash of black pepper on the yolk and minced chives all around. The chicken has flavorful, crispy breading, with steaming hot, tender meat inside. I could pull pieces of the chicken apart with just my fork. The biscuit is on the dense side - I wouldn't eat it by itself, but it works well in this dish and helps to soak up the delicious, heavy gravy. The gravy is seriously fantastic with a deep meaty savoriness - I absolutely love this gravy and it really brings the entire dish together. Picked onions sprinkled on top go well to add some tang and helps clear the palate and cuts through the richness of the gravy. (5/5) We also got a basket of fries for $5 - these are pretty typical commercial battered fries, fried well. They are perfectly serviceable but I actually don't recommend getting them because the entree potion sizes are gigantic. We ended up having a bunch of leftovers and basically not eating any of the fries since we were so full. Dirty Birds serves some fantastic fried chicken and this meal was easily the best we had on our drive through Nebraska. I definitely recommend it! Bathrooms - One individual room for each gender. The interior is super dark inside - there's only a single dim light but the walls, floor, and ceiling are all painted black. Not my favorite.

I regularly pop in for a lunch when working downtown. I always get the grilled chicken tenders when I am trying be healthy, and they're definitely good, but sometimes they don't taste as done as I'd like. However, this last time was great. Adding in a drink, fries and side of coleslaw can get pretty spendy. A lunch for 2 can easily hit $50+ if the extras are added in. However, the portions are huge and everything is tasty, it's just a bit pricier for lunch. They do offer cocktails and other fun extras too. It's still beautiful inside and out.

Woo! Hoo! This place is exceptional. Community seating encourages interaction. Fenced outside area is clearly dog friendly! Yay! I'll bring Teddi, my 2 year old MAS, next time. Make your choices on paper/clipboard menu. Place order/pay at register. Display your "number" and voila, food appears at your table. Granted, not fast, but completely and totally WORTH THE WAIT!!! If you're in the area, a local, or passing through on a road trip, detour into DT Omaha to check this historic location out.

When we arrived we were told a 30-40 minute wait for food. Ended up being an hour. Not the end of the world just wish they were up front and honest at the beginning. I had the omahawt sandwich it was fine not my favorite take on the hot chicken sandwich but the chicken was juicy. I had the jalapeño corn slaw. It was solid not fantastic. My coworker had the OG chicken sandwich and potato salad. He said the potato salad was good and the chicken sandwich pretty good but a lot of breading to chicken ratio. The pickles were the star of the show for him! Forgot pictures unfortunately. Large portions but you pay for it. Cool spot in a cool building just didn't live up to they hype for me especially after the super long wait.

we went to this place while visiting Omaha for the weekend! went late night at 9pm. The overall atmosphere was so great! greeted immediately as we came in and ordered at the counter! I personally had the chicken and pancakes and honestly was one of the best meals of my life! I love food and have had some amazing things over my 43 years but this was simply AMAZING!!! the pancakes had blackberries and Brie cheese in them and all I can say is WOW! I will definitely be coming back here to Omaha just to eat at this restaurant!! chicken was also some of the best I have ever eaten! if I could give ten stars I would! don't miss out on this place in downtown Omaha!

Midwest Mike is a FULL VIBE! The food and service was absolutely amazing, what a great stop while we rolled through Omaha

The food was amazing- we had the biscuits which were excellent (lived the butter and the jam). We also had the tenders (omahawt style) w the Brie and berry pancakes (seriously sooooo good). And the sweet tea tenders traditional style which were also excellent. I would def return for the tender/ pancake and the biscuits There was a large party wrapping up that was using 2/3 of the restaurant so I can't speak to atmosphere but I liked the pink rock chicken in the logo and the amazing food.

The food was okay, ambiance was good. I would go back to try something different. Service was great.

The batter and crunch of Harold's but without being greasy. Tons of flavor and huge portions. Also a great biscuit and hush puppies. I would come here for sure.

We had some friends in town and a couple others who had been to Dirty Birds before suggested it. I love chicken so I was completely game to try it out! When we got there it was somewhat busy, but not crazy. We were told that our wait time would be about 50 minutes for our food. We found a highchair for our toddler and had our group sitting at two sets of the picnic tables inside. I chose to get the OG and my husband got the Omahawt. We decided to buy a basket of onion rings and a basket of fries to share with the table. Firstly, I thought the onion rings were absolutely fantastic. They were probably some of the best I've ever had. The sauce that came with them was also delicious. It had a little bit of a zing, but nothing that was too spicy for even our toddler. The fries were also good. I was really excited to try my sandwich but when I got it I didn't feel like it had as much flavor as I was anticipating based on how long they brined the chicken for. The flavorful unfortunately fell a little flat for me. I however did love the bread that it was toasted on. My husband said that his sandwich had a really good flavor and he would order it again. The service was so-so and they really only had one person taking orders and running around in the front of the house. If I went back I might try to order some thing different on the menu. I definitely want to try the hush puppies at some point. Definitely repeat the onion rings, though!

Loved the food, atmosphere, everything! Chicken sandwich was massive and super crispy. Fries were perfectly cooked as well. Definitely a must try!

Open | Casual | Portions Open - upon arriving, you will immediately notice the open floor layout of the restaurant. The space is filled with natural sunlight, thanks to the abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows that span at least 270° of the venue. Additionally, there is both indoor and outdoor seating available, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy the ambiance. The restaurant is situated on a street with decent car traffic, making it easily accessible. Overall, it's a trendy and inviting location. Causal: The place has a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for a midday brunch or lunch grab-and-go. It's also a great spot for a first date meal. If you're someone who prioritizes the food over the company, this is the place for you. Even Guy Fieri has featured it on the Food Channel, and it has a great vibe. You don't need to dress up to fit in here, just bring your appetite and come as you are. Portions: as you can see in the photos, the portions served at this place are huge. In fact, the photos only show the half portion of pancakes and chicken, as well as the half portion of wings with fries. You might want to be prepared for leftovers or come with a very large appetite. This eatery in Omaha offers the best price point to portions ratio, making it a great value for your money. Pro tip: they have a military discount. Pro tip: it is super popular and therefore busy. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. Pro tip: at first glance the prices are a bit high for causal dinning spot, but trust me its a deal when you see the portions.

The pancakes and the chicken tenders were good. There were parts of the pancakes that were harder to eat. Dont sure if there was egg in the batter or ricotta but there were parts of the pancakes that felt plastic-y the tenders were good. Nice size. The breading does not stay on but the flavor of the breading was nice and crispy and the tender was juicy. The potato salad needs work. There are sliced olives and pickles inside. This was my least favorite thing. It was missing flavor. I was open to the olives and thought it would bring some saltiness to the salad. I think it needs more potatoe chucks and more seasoning. Now the star of the show were the fried pickles. They were delicious. Nice size. Nice crispy breading on the outside. Flavor was on point. The portion size was also nice for $10. Now the service was ok. You order at the bar. I wasn't given any instructions about utensils and napkins. I thought it was going to arrive with my food. I ended up seeing other people ask for their location and I followed and grabbed my own. I would eat here again. It is close to the Magnolia hotel as well.

It took me way too long to get to Dirty Bird's for the first time. The inside is very nice & fun. You could even play video games on the bar TV! Super friendly & helpful service. Order at the bar, and they'll bring it out to you. Portions are large!!! But it is pricey especially if you're buying a pop or beer to drink. If you're taking home leftovers for the next day, the money is worth it in my opinion. This was some high quality chicken. The Deebo sauce is a must if you like some extra flavor & sauce. The onion rings were also delicious. BUT THE HUSH PUPPIES were the star of the show!!!!! - fried sweet tea brined tenders - blue corn hush puppies - onion rings Definitely coming back for the big chicken sandwiches!!!!

I decided to use this long holiday weekend to complete my self guided walking tour of several Omaha historic landmarks, including the prospect hill cemetery (the oldest cemetery in Nebraska and final resting place of Alonzo Salisbury, inventor of the Salisbury Steak), the Omaha Screw, Nut and Bolt warehouse (which I swear is a real place and not just what I call your sister's apartment), and of course the Omaha flatiron building (an architectural marvel best known for being a crappy knockoff of the real flatiron building in New York). What this building lacks in originality it makes up for in fried chicken, as the home of the dirty bird restaurant. Unfortunately, much like the building it is in, this fried chicken is at best a pale copy of something you might get in a better city. I I ordered the omahawt sandwich (more like the omanot, am I right hehe) which tastes like someone from nebraskas attempt to make a Nashville hot chicken sandwich after omitting whatever it is that they put in food that makes it spicy, I don't know I'm not a scientist. While the sandwich was not bad, the portion was almost insultingly big, which I guess was good because it cost me 27 dollars to order a sandwich fries and a drink. Overall, on a list of birds ranked by dirtiness, with the baby ducks in the dawn dish soap commercial that were just washed after being in an oil spill as a 1 and foghorn leghorn being a 10, I'd give this place like a Toucan Sam.

On the way to the airport and decided to stop at Dirty Birds for a quick sandwich. The right choice was made.. I got the OG, so damn good. Sizey, crispy and delicious. The fries were awesome as well. No Heinz ketchup it was homemade you could taste the love. The staff is so kind as well. And you can tell they love what they are doing. Dirty Birds makes Omaha better. GO TO THERE!!

Let me start with I LOVE Fried Chicken and frequently lament that there are few good options available in my nearby hometown of Lincoln. Well, today I discovered fantastic fried chicken in Omaha! Dirty Birds in downtown Omaha serves up exceptional fried chicken in a very casual and comfortable eatery. I had the Plum Creek Farms Bone in Chicken and I don't remember ever having better fried chicken. Moist and juicy meat and the crust is delicious. Side dishes perfectly complement the chicken, featuring excellent fries and "to die for" buttermilk biscuits & jam. My wife loves their saladService is friendly, fast and helpful. I now have a new favorite fried chicken place! Dirty Birds will be a frequent destination when I'm in Omaha.

Dirty Birds does a good chicken sandwich. It has a very cool hip vibe on the inside. There is some outdoor seating which is an added bonus as the weather gets nicer!! The portions are large (I could only eat about 1/3 before I was uncomfortably full haha). The dirty bread was very dense. The only downside is it was rather greasy. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy. The staff members were very friendly and chatted with us while we ordered.

So Cluckin' good! Stopped in for lunch on a whim and so glad I did!! Food was amazing, staff were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was laid back and so welcoming. I will definitely bring family and friends back! Added bonus... homemade pickles can be purchased to go!! So tasty.

At first glance, I thought it was a little overpriced and menu seamed limited...now that was just first glance. At first bite on the other hand....WOW. Everything they do is done well. The hush puppies.... How could something so simple be so good? The fried chicken is so good and so moist. The house pickled veggies were incredible. Give it a shot, you will be pleasantly surprised. Yum yum!

Good not great. This my 2nd time going to dirty birds and the experience was about the same both times. I got a omahahawk aka spicy chicken sandwich. Homemade white bread, 1 piece of fried chicken in a spicy cayenne rub, green beans, pickle and mayo. Places like this are tough, everyone raves about their sandwiches but I just don't get it. My sandwich had chicken only on half of the sandwich, the other half was fried breading, the sandwich also just breaks apart very hard to eat. To me this is 'midwest' food, fried, rich and really filling, being not from the midwest this type of food doesn't hit with me, it's over indulgent. I also got their fries. By far my favorite item I've had and honestly some of the best French fries I've ever had. I would go back just to order a side of fries. I got mine with some ranch on the side and they are killer. If you do go, make sure you get an order. I also got the onion rings. The seasoning was nice but the breading left a lot to be desired. Not a great crunch to it, really thin onions. I also spent about 45 minutes waiting for my food, the restaurant was not busy at all and I saw maybe 6 or 7 people get served in front of me. The wait time was disappointing. I got my food to go, I was sitting down eating my meal at home within 8 minutes of getting it, so the crunch and freshness shouldn't have changed much.

Neat place right around the corner from my hotel. Had the tea brined grilled tenders. Really tasty and tender. Old school seating and very friendly staff. Super reasonable prices and their homemade hot sauce is very tasty as well.

Amazing service, best chicken in Omaha and fun enviroment. The moment you come in the service is top notch, they will make sure they meet your expectations and get you whatever you are looking for. Chicken juicy and delicious as always and the fries top notch!

I'm in Love Again, so glad I stopped here! Something completely different for a change and sooo good

Everywhere we looked online said open Wednesday. Not open Wednesday. Was looking forward to trying since we are traveling and have very limited time.

Best pancake I have ever eaten. Dirty Birds is a must try place in Omaha - we do a lot of brunch downtown and this is one of the best spots. 10/10

The best fried chicken I've had in a long time. I got the OG and the crunch and spices were just perfect. My husband loves a spicy chicken sandwich and the HAWT delivered. We had the fries and potato salad for sides. The potato salad was a hard pass for me - it has olives in it and tastes heavily of olive. I hate olives. No ding on the stars for that, it's personal preference and the fries made up for it - they were super crispy. The toppings on the sandwiches were great additions - pickles on mine, pickled green beans on the spicy. Cute decor, great service, great food - we will be back!

I had the salad and OG Sandwich my wife had salad and chicken tenders. We had the deviled eggs also. The salad and eggs were works of art. Love this place!

Place is fire! Best fried chicken! Playing PS5 at the bar is a definite win. Staff were super friendly.
