We just moved to Nebraska and this was our first time visiting Omaha since we moved. We were deciding on a restaurant to eat at and we came across Dirty Birds. We ordered fried pickles to start. Then we ordered a Deebo chicken sandwich and Omahahawt chicken sandwich and shared a side of fries. These were the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life. The sandwiches are huge. The chicken is breaded and cooked perfectly! The house made buns are amazing and the breading on the fried pickles was some of the best I’ve ever had. Additionally, their ranch dressing is housemade as well and some of the best ranch dressing I’ve ever tasted. Not only is the food amazing but the service and ambience from the staff is fantastic and just the overall aesthetic and attitude of this place enhances the experience. it is obvious that the person who owns and manages this restaurant absolutely loves what they do and loves giving people an amazing dining experience
If you’re in Omaha, Nebraska, you have to go to dirty birds. I would put this chicken sandwich against any chicken sandwich anywhere else in the country.

Just wow! The pure size of the chicken sandwiches was impressive! The buns are homemade, soft and fresh. The sauces are homemade and delicious! The fries were flippin bomb, so crispy and perfect! Large enough portion to share a fry basket. Everything that came out the kitchen to serve looked just as amazing! This is a must try!

What an amazing experience at Dirty Bird’s today! First time in….first of many. If you are a foodie, run…don’t walk, don’t wait…you will be so incredibly impressed with this great restaurant. Food was piping hot, crisp, crunchy goodness. We tried an assortment, their blackberry pancakes, light, fluffy decadent! Fried chicken with a crunchy beautiful crust and moist and delicious….and can I just say the onion rings are from another world. The salad was delicious, the blue corn hushpuppies were soooo good. We can’t wait for our next visit! Thank you to the beautiful staff and of course the chef’s….truly filled the soul today of two humble foodies!

First time at Dirty Birds and it seriously blew us away. We met up with friends and had a group of 7, and everything we ordered was incredible. Easily some of the best food I’ve had in Omaha.
We tried the pancakes, blue corn hush puppies, and the biscuits and gravy, plus multiple appetizers, and every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I didn’t even manage to get photos of everything because we dove in so fast.
The vibe was great, the staff and people were genuinely cool and welcoming, and the whole experience felt fun, easy, and relaxed while still delivering top-tier food.
If you haven’t been yet, put this place on your list. We’ll definitely be back.

We stopped in for an early dinner and the place was already busy, which is usually a good sign. We ordered two chicken sandwiches and a side of fries. Overall, the sandwiches were solid and fairly unique. The chicken was thick with a nicely done breading. The hot sandwich was well seasoned and spicier than expected, but still enjoyable. While I’m glad I tried it, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to return unless I was already nearby. That said, the staff and atmosphere were extremely welcoming, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

Searched this place as part of our itinerary when we visited Omaha Zoo. Place was clean and neat but it was the food that we really loved. Big portion and well cooked; our kids loved their burger and waffles especially our boys. It was definitely a treat for us!

I ordered the fried chicken pesto rigatoni. Everything was excellent! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious.
I’m not an onion ring guy but I would order their onion rings every time. The portions are generous and the staff are friendly and attentive. I live in Texas but I’m definitely coming back to this establishment when I’m back in Nebraska!

Visiting from Georgia, we take our fried chicken seriously, and this was some of the best I’ve ever had! The white meat was incredibly juicy and served piping hot. My wife ordered the pesto dish, which she said was equally delicious and some of the best she’s tasted. The hush puppies were also a highlight. On top of the great food, the staff was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely make this a regular stop whenever we visit again!
