    Chicken nuggets
    Ronald L.

    We decided to give Starbird another try and this time it didn't disappoint. The customer service is awesome and the staff is very attentive. The restaurant has inside and outside seating and self ordering kiosks. The food ok I was skeptical but it was great chicken. We have been here a couple of times. My child surprisingly chose Starbird over their competitor. The tenders are better than the nuggets.

    I've always heard about Starbird but never tried it until now, and it's definitely worth the hype. The portions are huge--especially the salads, which are easily enough for two people. Everything tasted fresh, and the chicken was perfectly crispy. They really load up the bowls and give a generous amount of dressing, which I appreciated. I tried a limited-time item this visit, but I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their salads.

    Convenient location next right off the freeway. Lots of delicious choices. I tried the seasonal Chim churry chicken salad with both crispy chicken and chicken breast. Chicken was juicy and flavorful and definitely a very filling salad. Comes with all my favorites, chic peas, pickled onions/ peppers. Tenders were also delicious and crispy which is how i like them. Sauces are always delicious especially the greek yogurt ranch and star sauce. Order via app is very convenient and always on time almost too fast! Plus you get rewards. Second time here and 10 dollars off! Highly recommend.

    i had this place last year while traveling . it was actually this location.. i was looking forward to eating there this year. the restaurant is super clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. i ordered lunch and food for my dinner later . the food is fresh and hot.. the flavors are amazing . the portions are large. i was full off just the sandwich.. the salads are enough for 2 people . also had a strawberry lemonade- it was fresh and not from a mix , it was wonderful

    Have come here a couple times, and it has not disappointed! My order: 3 tenders with the truffle aioli sauce and star sauce, side of fries. Around $13 before tax and tip. My husband and I usually also share a drink. You can get out of there with 2 people for under $40, which is pretty great, with leftovers. Pros: - very easy ordering process using kiosk, easy to pay - EXTREMELY fast service. I felt like we barely sat down and our order was already ready - Loved the star sauce and truffle aioli sauce, and I liked that the tenders didn't have too much batter - Very clean location, self serve ketchup, lots of napkins available - Free parking lot, plenty of parking spaces - the soda is DELICIOUS, and we always make sure we refill our cup before we walk out Cons: - the non-classic tenders don't have a ton of flavor - my friend tried the sweet thai glazed, and it didn't really taste any different from the classic, just with like a pinch of extra sauce on it. So to me it's not worth the extra dollar Will 10/10 be back, love the sauces and the chicken

    I came here because it was close to where I was studying. I've been eyeing this new dish as an Indian hot chicken and I really wanted to try it. It looked so good online and I can just imagine how good would taste in person. I feel the same way about the fries. They looked very good online and I was looking forward to diving into them and having them. But the pictures were very deceptive. It tasted like chicken, with a sauce on it. Nothing special and the good thing is that they didn't charge more for the experience. The sad thing is that if I had eaten the regular or the hot chicken, they already have I would've been satisfied. At least that's what I think. The flavor was underwhelming and the aïoli that came with. It wasn't great either and I don't think it was because Something was wrong with the prep. I think you have more to do with the fact that I like Indian food and I've eaten a lot of Indian food in this food may have been inspired by Indian food, but did not have the depth of flavor and spiciness that I was looking for. So I was more disappointed than anything. Their regular aïoli have more flavor and contribute more to the dish than what they have. And don't let me get started on those fries! Disappointing doesn't even describe the experience. They were absolutely horrible now, I ordered some fries a while ago drove them home and they were so good. They were still hot. Ish crispy and wild. All the flavoring on them were kind of overdone. I wasn't disappointed. I drove 15 minutes with these fries and opened them up to find them waxy, cold, and absolutely nothing on top of it contributed to the experience of eating them. So, even though I've never been to the store before I would suggest sticking with the regular offerings to see how they stack up. I still do a lot of studying in the area and may go by, but it will not be a special treat and I won't go far out of my way to come here for this. But for the ambience, it was a starboard chicken. It was one of the bigger busier ones that I've seen, but the tables are clean and it was pretty nice. So the standards are there. I also got a cold soda, which was also pretty good. But to wrap up, I'd say stick to the basics and see how they stack up with what your experience is. That means regular fries and just two chicken tenders. No fancy flavors cause this place doesn't do that well.

    We had heard a lot about Starbird Chicken so we decided to stop here on our way home from the bay. Full disclosure, it was about 8 :00 p.m. on a Friday night so the parking was packed and although we were able to snag a spot across the street from the parking lot, through my open window I overheard a family verbally make a decision to go to Chili's instead because they could not find two parking spaces in the lot for their large family. Because of how busy it was, we decided once we were parked to go ahead and make an order for pickup. It was easy to do and the food was ready very quickly. We ordered the Japanese BBQ tender box with double fries and some crispy Thai brussels sprouts. The first thing I always grab everywhere is the fries. They were warm, but not hot, and they were soggy and bland. I would have been incredibly disappointed, but one of the sauces they gave us was a creamy chive flavored little thing and I have never had it before but it is delicious. It took the whole cup of sauce for me to be able to get the fries down. The fries were disappointing 1/5 but the sauce , 5/5 for sure! The brussel sprouts were ok. My husband liked them more than I did but even he commented that it tastes like something I can make quickly at home, and I do. Mine are more buttery and less sour, but they weren't particularly crispy and we both gave them 3/5. The chicken tenders on the other hand were large, juicy and cooked well. The parts that weren't drenched in sauce were also crispy and tasty. Unfortunately the Japanese barbecue sauce they use here is not for us. It's far too sour and there was so much liquid in the bottom of the box with our tenders that they got very soggy. Ultimately I can't give them more than 3/5. Overall, this was an okay experience and because the service was good, I would definitely be willing to come back to Starbird again but I would choose different flavors, try and stop by when they aren't super busy, and ask for a lot more of that creamy chive sauce!

    Just picked up a salad, chicken nuggets, and brussel sprouts last night after a busy day... Online ordering via their app was very convenient and easy. My food was ready by the time given and the brussel sprouts this time were less greasy. Restaurant was clean and parking was plentiful. I enjoy the variety of items they offer.

    8-piece wings and truffle fries
    Aletta A.

    Why do you guys keep forgetting the truffle aioli which is the main point of ordering the expensive truffle fries. thats two times in a row now when there's literally on two items on the order. Don't order the truffle fries for delivery people and if you pick up your food, make sure they put it in your bag. Truffle aioli is in the largest letters on the expo ticket, yet you guys always forget it. It's pretty damn annoying for some $9 fries. time to stick to ini wings and wingstop

    I was really excited to try Starbird after seeing so many good reviews, but unfortunately, my experience aligned more with the not-so-great ones. The place is cute and looked clean, although there were quite a few flies buzzing around--probably due to the weather, so I tried not to hold that against them. When I walked in, I immediately noticed a few self-serve kiosks. I headed toward one, but someone from the counter handed me a small, cute paper menu, which I ended up slipping into my purses and still ended up ordering from the kiosk. We ordered the lemon pepper chicken tender combo with regular fries and the lemon pepper and BBQ gold bone-in wings with truffle fries. Honestly, the best parts of the meal were the truffle fries and hibiscus tea. The chicken, while not oily (which I appreciated), tasted old--really old. It was dry and had that weird frostbitten texture, like it had been sitting in a freezer too long. I took some home for my sister to try, and the first thing she asked was, "Is this OK to eat?" We ended up throwing it away. I've heard other locations are fresher, so maybe I'll give Starbird another try somewhere else. But based on this visit, I left disappointed.

A graffiti covered food truck and covered tables and benches with mood lights around the perimeter. Lots of effort was put toward the environment but it still isn't what Oakland location is. Shared parking lot with liquor store can be convenient -- maybe people deep in car culture would especially like this - you can eat with your car within view. Fries were abundant - probably too many. Burger was large enough I didnt need them at all. I think for me that is the whole problem with this place - its all too much. Its like why I don't like Black Bear diner. Too much food - and too heavy. This is very tender chicken but at the same time heavy enough you couldn't eat something like this every day. Small cute street cat came around for some leftovers. He lives along the wall of neighboring building in the bushes. Added a little more personality.

My husband was honestly let down with the original spicy chicken. It had a nice crunch but lacked flavor and it wasn't very spicy. The soy garlic chicken, again had a nice crunch, but there was barely any flavor/sauce on them. The chicken Mayo rice plate what is the total opposite, if anything we felt like it had too much sauce/mayo. The portions are nice tho, and the chicken is cooked nicely - just lacked flavor. I'd rate the food itself a 3, and adding another star for the service.

It came with pickles. I also got the buffalo sauce on the side, which I didn't even need and I got the spicy ranch with a side of fries. Ordering a super easy as you can just order on the kiosk and wait for your order to go into Q you can monitor your order as far as when it's ready or listen out for your name If you have not been here, definitely go and give it a try as for sodas there's not many traditional soda options as they are more healthier options so keep that in mind. Their lemonade is good though. The ambience is very simple and modern very clean aesthetics. Nothing was dirty. And another great place is that they were open late until 9 PM.

    The food was hot, tasty and made to order…read more The Teen & I split the 20 piece lemon pepper wings. Me: Truffle fries Us: Lemonade Service was great, I believe Ashley took our order, she was pleasant and helpful, even gave us our own boxes because she knew The Teen and I were sharing. The ambiance was easy like Sunday morning, as patrons inside and outside all seemed to be having a good time. I will definitely be going back to try the six piece nugget, The crispy Thai brussels sprouts and another order of those truffles fries. I also wanna try that blazin' ranch, honey mustard and honey chipotle, barbecue sauce! Giving this place for yumms up and I'll be back!
