The food here was fantastic, best wings I have had anywhere, ever. The la Jolla burger and the burger with the fried cheese were smackin'too. Highly recommend. Great service, food came out lightning fast. Nice place to catch a game and/or a couple of beers too.
View on Google ↗Got a burger and fries for like $15 for lunch- the burger was good, it had a generous portion of meat and the fries were crispy. The atmosphere is chill, plenty of seating
View on Google ↗The wings were excellent. 🍔 The burger is over cooked. The patty has a good thickness to potentially make a juicy burger? If the Chef is listening? Try 3 minutes on that hot flat top. Flip it over for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Should have a tasty burger... Some people might say? "Its that simple"
View on Google ↗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.
View on Google ↗The boneless wings were not bad, though the flavor I chose (teriyaki) was very salty. I heard their pizza is good, and some events get Dirty Birds for catering and it's been pretty good, albeit a bit annoying to eat the chicken wings with bones
