Food was AHMAZING!!! I haven't had a better chicken sandwich. Welcoming environment/ immediately was welcomed from across the room. Clear instructions about menu + gave great recommendations while we were about to order. Had to wait a little longer but great environment so didn't mind much - and was rewarded endless sauces + an extra fry basket due to waiting (wasn't even long) owner (?) was awesome and walking around to each table! best sandwich. EVER. 10/10 hidden gem close to Old Market! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Food was made to order and the service was fast for it being busy. We arrived at 11:15 and we had our food by 11:40, we ordered the Omahawt, Grilled chicken sandwich, fried pickles and deviled eggs, everything was fresh and made to order. The ambiance was great, the music had my friends and I singing. read more

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. read more

Run don't walk to Dirty Birds. Parking can be tough around lunch, but whatever it takes to get here is well worth it. If it is busy, there will be a wait. Again, it is worth it. We had the OG sandwich, onion rings, fries and fried pickles too. A couple beers and a drink made our wait go fast. The menu is wild, I can not wait to try them all. The drink menu is just as wild as the food. We tried the ReGRETAble (made by Greta) and the Full BS too. Both of these handmade cocktails tasted Awesome. The chicken sandwiches are massive, juicy and tasty too. The onion rigs could not be any lighter, the batter is delicious. There was plenty of each item we ordered. It was all so dang good. The service was great and they are quick to ask about your meal and answer any questions. The pickles, I almost forgot about the best fried pickles that I have ever had. Get the pickles and be patient. It is worth it. Dirty Birds is my new favorite in Omaha. read more

Wow--what a fun spot! Dirty Birds is way more than just a fried chicken restaurant. The menu is creative, house-made, and still crowd-pleasing.

5, 10, 20...ALL THE STARS. A bummer we didn't go to this place earlier. The amount of people and it being downtown with all the construction made us keep putting off trying this place but listen when i say YOU NEED TO GO. Love the bit the waiting staff has trying to say "dirty" as much as possible, the food portion sizes are insane, great value, and no joke it tastes good--not just a gimmick. The main meals are a lot of food so beware we definately orderesd too much. One order of fries is a big basket, fried pickles are great, and big recommend the deviled eggs slap. They figured out the secret to frying stuff, the batter gives such a great crunch. The pancakes are a must, i got it with the seasonal omahawt flavor and it was bomb. The frech toast was also good but i personally liked the cakes better. The sandwich is better than any i've had ever. Sweet tea is from the foungain but im glad they even had it as an option. Also, get the sweet potatoe casserole. They come in these cute iron skillets with a big melted marshmallow on top. Would highly recommend as a must try for people visiting read more

I had "The Debo," and it was ridiculous in the best way. Crispy, juicy, perfectly cooked chicken with this sweet, slightly spicy Asian-inspired sauce that honestly reminded me of Panda Express orange chicken--but like, leveled WAY up. You could tell right away this wasn't some thrown-together sandwich. Everything tasted fresh, intentional, and homemade. Stacie went with the OG, and fair warning--that thing brings the heat . Not in a gimmicky way either... just really well-balanced spice that sneaks up on you. If you like spicy, you'll love it. Between the two of us, we both said the same thing: this is hands down the best fried chicken we've ever had... and definitely the best chicken sandwiches. Period. If you're even thinking about trying this place, stop thinking and go. read more

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!!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.
