Good burgers, and the young lady who served us was professional, BUT… …they hit you with a 4% service charge. Yes, by patronizing Dirty Birds you will give them an extra 4% of your hard-earned money in exchange for NO goods or services. The service charge notice wasn’t conspicuous. It might be on the menu but I’d bet it’s at the very bottom in .0001 size font. Why be sneaky? Why are they scared to raise their prices instead of resorting to a service charge? If I had seen the notice I wouldn’t have dined here.

We visited on a late Saturday afternoon with a party of three. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and the food came out about 25 mins later. Customer service was good. Great location in a nice area to go for long walks.

The atmosphere and service were good. However, do not order the “salt and vinegar” “dry rub” unless you want soggy wings doused in malt vinegar. They wings themselves, both boneless and bone in, were dry. The sauces we tasted—buffalo, corn hub, and hot honey mustard—were only ok. The hot honey mustard was nasty. The highlight was lemon pepper tatar tots. They tasted very clearly and strongly of lemon pepper and were very tasty. Overall, first and last time coming here.

I cannot fathom why people would eat here. The prices are insane. I paid $36 pre-tip for wings a side and a coke. The wings are big but they were overcooked and the sauce was just slightly above average. I just can't get over that the mac and cheese was 7.50 for that tiny cup. If this wasn't a work expense I would be mad I even ate here. Only upside is nice workers and I got to sit right away with open seating at the bar. Also food came out crazy fast.

Huge bummer to write this review, but whoever was cooking the night of 11/10 should be fired. Ordered a 20 piece wing and about 5 of them were of the quality dirty birds usually puts out. These things were completely overcooked to the point of chicken jerky. I typically always order from pacific beach location, and that was solidified tonight. Not sure if it was just an off night, but it was the worst wings I have ever had. Quality control needs to be better when you hang your hat on specialty food.

Dirty Birds, more like Dirty Tricks. Sadly, the wings at the Liberty Station location tasted like they had been sitting in the freezer longer than a forgotten TV dinner. Dry, lacking that saucy kick, and nowhere near the quality that used to make this place a favorite. It feels like the “birds” had their wings clipped — once flying high, now grounded. I used to rave about this spot, but this visit was more fizzle than sizzle. Hope they get back to their old standard, because right now, these wings are just too dry to fly.

Busters. I sat at the bar today. June 8th, 7pm. I got 10 wings, but I ordered them by 5 and 5 differentflavors. But instead of giving me the 10 piece price he, he charged me more money by charging me the 5 piece price. Then, a 1 dollar charge for ranch. Smh. Whatever. Wings came out suspiciously fast. I usually vouch for Dirty Birds, but this is the 3rd time I have had a bad experience. Hopefully, it's just this location. Other than that, dirty birds bout to lose their good reputation if they haven't done so already.

HIDDEN FEES!!! This Place has Hidden Surcharges and if you have 6 or more people a mandatory 20% Gratitude. Nowhere was this 6+ People Gratitude posted anywhere, I confronted a waitress aboht it and she showed me a tiny text on the bottom of the menu. Why was it so small? Why was it hidden? Why is it not obviously posted outside of the store? This is ridiculous and Tip Culture is out of hand. Being forced to pay a tip because you technically Legally agreed to it by ordering your food is robbery at its finest. Not to mention everything cost an arm and a leg.

Thought long and hard about writing this review.. my husband, infant, and I came here on Sunday 10/12. We came through the patio area and there saw there were some tables taken inside and outside but there were many open tables and bar was dead. We waited at the host stand where the sign says “please wait to be seated” many bussers and runners passed by saying someone will be right with us. We waiting about 2 minutes before the hostess came and told us to sit anywhere and handed us menus to take to our table. The menus she gave us were piled on top of the host stand with a wet towel on top. I assume those meant to be cleaned first.. (I used to be a host we always piled menus on top of the stand to wipe them down before putting it away behind the stand) we sat down and our server came right away asking if we were ready to order. I said we needed a minute to go over the menu and requested water first. She brought out the waters right away and never came back to our table. We waited almost 20 minutes before we walked up and left. Our server had a party of 8 in her section and took their order first and then stayed at their table the entire time chit chatting. An older server noticed us waiting for a while and even said something to the hostess and pointed at us. The same hostess who gave us dirty menus took a couple steps peeking at our table and then walked away. After waiting another 2 minutes after knowing other workers knew we were waiting, we left. As we walked out, the manager and bartender watched us leave and continued watching football. Nobody said anything to us and nobody offered to help take our order. I have NEVER walked out from a restaurant before. I was a server for over 3 years and worked as a hostess, runner, busser, and EXPO for years before serving. I know how restaurants work and how servers think. They assume how much a table will tip/not tip based on their age, race, etc. maybe the server assumed our bill would be small because we only ordered water, ill never know. The server attended to her big money making table probably in hopes of more tip on top of automatic gratuity and never came back to our table. And the fact that nobody wanted to step in and help because that’s not their section is a prime example of staff not working as a team. The manager on duty the other hand should’ve been walking around asking tables how everything is going and if they need anything, especially if they see servers struggling or not managing tables accordingly. I was very disappointed in how poor the service was and I will never be back

Got a honey mustard salad and some of my coworkers got tater tots and wings. Buy 1 get 1 50% off wings comes out to be barely 20% off and is hence not even a deal. Food was the definition of mid, and pretty expensive. And on top of that they do a 4% surcharge for whatever reason and automatic 20% gratuity for 6 or more people when the server was rude, took forever to tend to us and get the food and barely deserving of a 15% tip. Definitely do not recommend this place, there’s many much better spots here at Liberty station

The food is amazing, but the service was terrible. Since i first came in to get settled for a table the hostess that attended my family gave us a terrible look at us and told us that we have to wait 30 minutes and we asked if we could sit somewhere or at the bar meanwhile and she said no with a terrible attitude. we waited outside sitting in the bar and went to kick us out saying that underage teens can’t sit there. Finally when they gave us our table and they wanted us to sit outside when we wanted to sit inside, at the end they gave us a table outside and the hostess always had a dirty look at us while we saw she treated other clients differently. Also the restaurant was empty aswell as all the tables and still made us wait around 20-30 mins. I am not assuming anything but I wouldn’t discard the idea and issue that we were not treated with respect that everyone deserves as a Mexican family. There was also very heavy tension.

First and last time here. 10pc Wings were overcooked, dry and chewy. Frozen wings? BBQ and Teriyaki (over saturated sesame seeds, SMH) sauces not that appealing, after one dunk into the room temperature blue cheese condiment, I did a full stop as it had a funky taste. Server was polite and did the best she could considering she was only person besides bartender. Thankfully I went on Tuesday for 1/2 off wings, so was $10 + tax/tip. For wings, this is not the spot. At the moment, Phil’s BBQ 2-miles away or Pizza Port in Solana Beach is still King of the Wings.
