05/22/2025 - This was almost $20 down the drain. I asked the cashier if the pizza or burger was better, and she first said she hasnt tried the burger. After a few seconds, she retracted that statement and said that the burger was actually good?? I took her advice (i shouldn't have) and got the burger. Not only was the burger expensive on its own, but the meat had ZERO seasoning. It just tasted like plain beef, not a single sprinkle of salt. I should have figured since the burger was ready in less than 4 minutes. I ended up tossing the hockey puck size unseasoned burger. I was trying to see the hype for this restaurant, and it was a total bust.

Very rude staff. The guy working behind the counter was increadibly rude.
I love their dirty bird sandwich
Great wings and friendly service! Definitely get bone-in wings if you’re on the fence.
Wings real good . Onions rings were horrible to greasy . Music to loud
Wings are okay and the service is horrible. All the workers have bad attitudes, even the manager or whatever. Bald guy wearing a hat. Don’t come here.
Happy Hour Tuesday, $1 off draft beer and buy 5 get 5 wings free. And Thursday they have a $5 beer list.

It was our first time there and the guy at the counter seemed very unfriendly. I thought he was annoyed because we were taking our time looking at the menu to order; even though we were not holding up a line or any customers. However, when we later saw that he was only serious with us, and smiling to other customers we felt very uncomfortable and singled out for no particular reason. The wings were not great either. We will never be returning.

Mid wings. The original stuff downtown is way better.

Last Sunday a couple of friends and I were hanging at the house watching the game and decided we wanted some chicken wings. We were getting tired of epic wings because we get it all the time. So after hearing good things about dirty birds we gave them a shot plus they had a location close by to us. We put in an order of 60 wings with a variety of flavors. We got the lemon pepper, sweet chili, buffalo, spicy garlic, Nashville hot, and of course Bruce Lee Wang. With such a cool name we have to try it. They told us it would be about 45 minutes. So after 40 minutes we headed out to pick up our order. It was perfect timing because when we walked in we saw our order come out of the kitchen. The cashier was very nice and got us our food right away. After a 5-minute drive home we opened up the box to just the best aroma. I had to try the Bruce Lee Wang first. It definitely did live up to the name because it was delicious and flavorful. All the other flavors were also tasty and this is definitely a nice switch from epic because of the variety of flavors they have here. Will definitely add dirty wings to our rotation of Sunday game food.

Closing time says 9:30, but doors are closed at 8:30. Closing 30 minutes before is understandable, but a whole hour is crazy.

Amazing food and beer! You have to try the dirty wings and dirty fries and dirty sandwich!
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.
