Combos. Some good things just seem a little better when paired with another good thing. For some, two good things paired together are “wings and things.” Well if you’ve always wanted to pair a San Diego beach as your “thing” with some tasty wings, then we have a recommendation for you.
While other “Dirty Birds” locations do exist, the one in the Pacific Beach neighborhood is the “OG” where it all began and it is literally a mere two short blocks from the ocean.
As you enter you may notice the 12 “wing championship banners” that are proudly displayed because they’ve hung more championship banners than the San Diego Padres. (Oh, wait. Maybe that’s because the Pads have never actually won a championship…like…ever. 🤦♂️)
Their hotness spectrum is comprehensive and clearly communicated (to prevent the accidental incineration of unsuspecting tastebuds).
While I’m more of a traditional wings kinda guy, I have to admit that their boneless wings gave their bone in counterparts a run for their money.
Speaking of 💵, they offer “Happy Hour” 1/2 priced wings Monday-Friday (3-6 p.m.).
Expect searching for a parking spot to be an adventure, but quit your whining since you’ll be at the beach (so no one will feel like offering you sympathy anyway).
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
