Dirty Birds - La Jolla

Dirty Birds is a delightful gem within San Diego, and thigs review is regarding their convenient location in UCSD's Price Center. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, boasting an open, airy ambiance that seamlessly connects the indoor dining area with the charming outdoor patio. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, it's a first-come, first-served system where you place your order upfront and eagerly await your name to be called once your meal is prepared.I've savored every dish I've tried here, from their mouthwatering wings and hearty sandwiches to their flavorful pizzas and fresh salads. The portions are generous, and the flavors are simply outstanding. What truly sets Dirty Birds apart is their warm and efficient service, paired with a menu that offers great value for your money. It's no wonder I find myself drawn back here time and again, drawn by the relaxed environment and the added bonus of outdoor TVs perfect for catching a game while enjoying delicious food and drinks.Recently, I had the pleasure of having Dirty Birds cater a special event for my team, and it was a hit! The setup was perfect, and everyone raved about the delicious food--even the leftovers were fantastic. The staff member who assisted us that afternoon provided exceptional service with a friendly demeanor, making the experience even more memorable. Needless to say, I will definitely be returning to Dirty Birds in the future.

Yikes on Bikes. As a student here, I could have sworn the food tasted much better, or maybe it just felt that way because it was free. Regardless, I came here for dinner last night after class and paid for my food. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza, some spicy garlic wings, and a Caesar salad. None of these items was delicious or worth it. The cheese pizza was really the only edible item, and probably just because I was really hungry. It was semi-cold and nothing really special about it. The salad was the most disappointing part and probably thing I've tried in awhile. The lettuce was discolored and wilted, and they don't give enough dressing for the whole thing. They charge for extra dressing as well, and I'm glad I didn't buy another because the salad was largely inedible. The wings were just okay. The seasoning was good and spicy, but the wings themselves were dry, overcooked, and not hot? They seemed to have been served at room temperature like everything else I ordered, which is weird because I had to wait at least five minutes for them to prep my food. They must have heated it up by breathing on it. I'm overall really disappointed because it was one of the last spots on campus I wanted to try before graduating and honestly was not worth it. I'm wondering if it's also because I don't drink beer, and the food probably tastes better once you've had a drink or two. It's a bar type setup and gets loud since they have TVs playing whatever sports game(s) are going on that evening, so probably not the best if you're looking for a good study spot. No readily available chargers either for laptops. I recommend letting someone else do the buying if you eat from here, it seems to make it taste better.

It's probably amazing for student that don't have a car to have a decent fried chicken spot on campus. But, for the rest of us, it's just a decent fried chicken spot. It was good, but I think there's better options around.

Visiting my friend on campus from out of town so unfamiliar with whatever else is on campus. Came in Wednesday night about 6:30pm, and it seems like they had trivia start at 5pm so that's cool for a social aspect. They had a sign that said happy hour on Mon-Tues? All I know is I got Happy Hour prices on the 10 wings and the beer shoutout to the girl behind the counter. Normal price for the 10 piece was about $15 (that's expensive) and $7 for the beer. I paid about $11 and $6 so much more reasonable in my opinion. So if you can I'd advise going happy hour.They had a very large menu spanning wings, pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. A lot of wing flavor as well and original ones like dirty ranch wish I would have taken a photo of the menu. I ordered lemon pepper and Diablo (seems like a hotter buffalo), and I'll be damned them things were twerking on my taste buds. Very good and the wings were pretty large (whatever price you're paying they better be large). The lemon pepper is a dry rub and was fried perfectly. The Diablo is a sauce and that one still had a good texture. 15/15 chilis on flavor. Wings are pricy regardless of anywhere you go I feel like, but they do them well.

One of the better spots to eat at the UCSD campus. They offer a great variety of flavors for their wings which are delicious, and they also serve giant pizza slices if you're in the mood for that. The service is friendly and they have deals depending on the day!

Such a great addition to the campus and price center. Good selections of beer on tap and always a special deal going on for food. Went to a few Wednesday trivias and it's a great way to bond with friends, although the questions are pretty hard and I think the top teams cheated (no way they all knew the name of the real housewife that created the Skinnygirl margarita brand). It can get pretty busy here so remember to be nice to food service employees :)

The driest wings and chicken sandwich ever experienced; far worst than airplane or hospital food. The side salad was horrible-- dry iceberg lettuce and boring ranch dressing. Nothing redeeming of this meal. I wish I could give it ZERO stars.

I says to myself, "oh... I wanna be dirty!""Dirty ya hear!"So I got some wings here.

Full on legit wings and pizza for California. Chill in door and outdoor vibe. Guy behind the register was working overtime taking orders , calling out food and cleaning tables. That guy was a rock starWill absolutely go back in future

Incredibly rude service especially from a bearded employee who wears a hat. Have never been treated with even a hint of respect at their restaurant.
