One day I was at the Corte Madeira mall sitting outside in the commons area waiting for a friend. I noticed a man eating a salad, from Starbird, a few feet away from me. The salad looked amazing! A few days went by and I was STILL thinking of that salad. I was at work and didn't bring lunch. I decided to order a salad from Starbird using DoorDash (and I seldom order from delivery services). I have to shout out to DoorDash because they were fast and the delivery guy was nice. I ordered the Chicken Cobb and let me just say, it was worth it! Everything was good from the crispy tender chicken to the dressing. Only thing is that I wish they gave more dressing; but you can pay for extra dressing. If I could, I would order this everyday! My coworker saw my Starbird bag and she was craving for it as well! She ended up walking to the location to get something for lunch! I highly recommend the chicken Cobb salad!!! You might need to order 2! read more

Okay this is some Bullsh*t. First of all this is NOT the actual restaurant. Its little Dirty smelly pick up spot with multiple kitchens in it. Theyre serving all kinds of folds. Forced to order before arrival. Wasted my time with false advertisement. read more

To be clear, it's only a pickup location for Starbird online/app orders, not a physical restaurant with seating. It's also in a sketchy alley with DoorDashers going in and out, so don't linger (or at least lock your car doors). Otherwise, I highly recommend Starbird itself. Try the Big Star sandwich or any of their salads (my fav is the Elote salad). Prices are also pretty good with nothing over $15 at base price. While I add an extra dollar for spicy flavored chicken, it's also good without heat, even though their spice isn't terribly hot. If you want a safer and more sit-down venue, try the Westborough/Colma location. read more

PRO: -I'm a huge fan of their tenders; they're perfectly fried on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. My favorite is the Lemon Garlic flavor, followed by the Nashville Blaze. I always pair these with the Truffle Aioli or the Garlic Aioli sauce -The Cobb salad is pretty good! There's not enough guac, so I add my own avocado CON: -the wings are dry. I don't get them anymore -their main thing is delivery, but you CAN do pickup. If you pick up, the tiny street can be a bit challenging to navigate. But service is lightning fast every time I go, a quick in and out. It helps to go with a friend who stays with the car, or park on Harrison or Bryant to avoid going into Morris St. I'm a fan. Starbird is officially a staple on my list of "unhealthy but delicious treat foods that I eat in moderation" :) read more

Just figured out that they have a rotating menu with Indian masala fries, and masala Chicken wings and I absolutely enjoyed the masala fries. Sadly, it's not on the menu anymore. I'm hoping it will become a core item on the menu because the fries are delicious and the yogurt dip it is served with is absolutely divine. read more

I think the $15.00 off is not enough to make up for the disappointing experience I had with my order. I believe it would be more fair to receive a replacement meal similar to the one I originally ordered. As a customer, I feel that this would be a more reasonable resolution considering the issues with the food I received. read more

Starbird has amazing crispy chicken and the most filling salads that absolutely slap. I ordered chicken nuggets with their ranch and house star sauce. The nuggets were crispy, juicy, and I am such a big fan of their sauces! They include chips too. They were a little greasy for me. I did enjoy dipping them in the sauces too. I highly recommend their elote salad with crispy chicken. This is my favorite dish hands down. It's filling, I love the toppings, 12/10. I would pass on the chicken wings- I ordered them once and to be honest they are very very very small. It could be inflation hitting. The wings have incredible sauce options- I got the Cali Golden and Buffalo and both were fantastic. If you're craving crispy chicken and solid dipping sauce- this is your place. read more

Starbird Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of my go-to spots for a tasty salad delivery! Always fresh vegetables and their crispy chicken is so good. I definitely recommend the Green Goddess Cobb Salad, or the Thai Chicken Salad! Their salad dressings never fail. Since this a ghost kitchen, I always do delivery. Keep in mind, there is not indoor dining or real brick & mortar. So it might be a little confusing finding this place. Look for the SoMa Food Pickup on Morris. read more

Starbird Chicken - Thai Chicken Salad & House Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

One drawback of living in the City is you'll have a hard time finding chain restaurants especially fast foods. Totally forgot that I tried this a couple of years ago so, when a friend suggested ordering here, it felt like a new experience. Studying the menu, sweet Thai tenders (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8i8D3SRRFMU6Cqc4SN5sLA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); after dipping and swiping the various sauces, I learned that the Thai sauce that came with the tender were my favorite (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rnXfn4Pwezf3C7k5sXpWZA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). My box came with fries and the rainbow slaw (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RoaODa1U2bHGlzvoTuZSIA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); if you are not eating them right away, I recommend opting for double slaw mainly because it's that good; it's comprised of kale, red and green cabbage, and carrots with a creamy citrus dressing. The fries were slightly soggy after a couple hours but still had firm edges. The portions are generous so this is a filling meal. It was nice to try this again and I liked this meal better than my first time. This is a ghost kitchen set up where you'll either have a delivery company bring it or go to 60 Morris and get it from your appointed locker. read more

Starbird Chicken never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside every single time. The flavors are spot on, and you can tell they care about quality and freshness. Everything--from the sandwiches to the tenders and sides--feels thoughtful and well done. Service is quick, the food is consistent, and it always hits the spot. Easily one of my favorite places for a reliable, delicious meal. read more

Food was inferior! No taste and the pieces of chicken were too big and seemed old! I love fried chicken and I have yet to experience anything as distasteful as their chicken! read more

Super convenient fast food place in the city. I tried their star bird hot chicken salad and it was delicious and filling. I ordered online and was able to choose up to 10 sauces which was great for someone that likes to try different types of sauces with their meal. My favorite was the honey bbq (tastes like the chick fil a sauce) and the star sauce (not sure what's exactly in it). I would definitely be interested in trying their sandwiches for next time, if you're ever in a rush for a fast and relatively nutritious meal- this is the place to go. read more

They lie about the fact that their Gardenbird is "plant-based" when in fact it contains eggs and dairy. Nothing wrong with having animal products, but do not claim something is plant-based when it isn't. This is both scamming customers and could potentially harm someone with allergies. read more

So this Starbird Chicken isn't a location where you can sit down and munch but that doesn't make the food any less tastier or satisfying. It happens to be a close by ghost kitchen and I had the brilliant idea of picking it up myself. Brilliant. That is until I got there. I have a whole new level of respect for folks in the delivery game - for real tho. cause pick up and delivery ain't all that easy. There's no parking so, along with other folks picking up, you do the best you can and squeeze into whatever makeshift parking spot you can find. Then you run into this unmarked building that houses a couple other different ghost kitchens and find your order. It's both beautiful and chaotic to see and all wrapped up and conveniently to-go. Lesson here : tip your delivery folks well. I know I am cause I'm not trekking back down if I don't have to. Anyways, the food . . . It's not called Chinese chicken salad, but it looks like it, tastes like it, and I very much liked and appreciated it. Citrus. Sesame. Greens. Chicken. All harmoniously coexisting. Chicken chop is a solid salad choice. Greens are crisp. Chicken is too - unless it's not breaded of course. Dressing coats without drowning. And the avo-smash just ties it all together. May order the tenders one day but this place right here is my salad spot. read more

Food took more than two hours to arrive even though I live 7 minutes from the kitchen. Fries and chicken were cold. Most of the "buffalo wings" had little or no buffalo sauce on them read more

Starbird Chicken - Buffalo chicken wings - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love fried chicken sandwiches, so I was delighted to try a new place. We placed a group order at work for lunch for delivery. I ordered the Nashville HotBird, I love spicy foods and a big fan of hot chicken from Nashville (Miss my trips there). The chicken sandwich was only a little spicy, pretty oily and wasn't easy to eat. the bun was bigger than the chicken breast, making it pretty odd to eat. Overall the sandwich did not look anything like the advertised photo and just okay. I also ordered a side of fries with all of the sauces. I love to make sauces, so was very curious to try the Star Sauce, the Wasabi Aioli, Spicy Seoul Sauce, Sriracha Buffalo and the Honey Chipotle BBQ. The fries were not crispy, but the sauces were pretty interesting. I was really looking forward to it, but in the end it was okay - but did not impress. I may try them again and pick a salad or something else. read more

I'm extremely disappointed by most recent experience. I ordered from Starbird through an office catering service several days in advance. Up until today, I've never had this issue. The order was noted to be on track but as time passed, we did not receive our order. It was noted that the restaurant gave the order to the wrong delivery person and they could not be reached to rectify the situation. Ultimately the only thing I could do is cancel the order and I was left scrambling to find food for my office after the noted meal time. It was most frustrating that there really was no way to rectify this situation and no way to contact the business. read more

For starters, this is a digital kitchen so you can't speak with anyone personally from this restaurant . 10 Piece Sweet Thai / Lemon Pepper Wings : The Sweet Thai Wings are amazing ! Sweet and savory and a little kick of spice . Perfect combination . As for the Lemon Pepper Wings, they're way to salty ! The wings do come in good sizes and comes out to about $15 . 3 Piece Hot Nashville Tenders : I subbed out the slaw since I've never been a fan, but the fries are totally with it ! Fresh, crispy with a soft inside, seasoned .. The tenders are delicious themselves and have the perfect amount of seasoning . I added the "Make it Blazin' " feature . They're cooked perfectly and very crunchy which is always a plus . Came out to about $15 . Overall, I would recommend this place but not the lemon pepper wings .. it's that bad . Unless you love the taste of salt . The service is fast, but would be nice to have a person to speak with. read more

I've ordered Starbird several times with no issue, but last week I got horrible food poisoning from a salad as did at least 4 others who ate the same meal. In their response the company said "this is not something that happens at our restaurants" which I found to be quite invalidating and bad customer service. read more

I've tried this place at multiple locations now. The location in the SFO airport has got great food. Customer service isn't really anything to be excited about but it's really grab and go at that location. The food from Starbird Mission Bay was ordered via delivery and was soooo scrumptious. Wings were perfect and truffle French fries so yummy. This is now my go to spot for wings! read more

If you are gluten, intolerant or celiac, do NOT eat at this location. I am the biggest fan of Starbird chicken. It's probably one of very few fast food places I can eat at being celiac however, this location is an absolute no go. I have been symptomatic since yesterday afternoon with a celiac flareup from the food that I had from this location. That type of flare up is not just from a mere exposure. It is abundantly clear that their kitchen mixes it fryers with the other foods from ghost kitchen. And if they don't, then it's clear that the cooks are frying other things in that oil. While no doubt, the food tasted OK, the aftermath is just awful. I will never go to this location ever again. Update: I ordered only the Elote chopped salad which is listed as GF and I have had this salad before at the South city location and had no symptoms. Again if you have even just a mild intolerance, I do not recommend this location. read more

I am a slow adapter of the ghost kitchen concept, but Starbird and Ben's Fast Food are the exception. The green goddess and Cobb are my favorites and I could eat them all the time. I love the fried chicken bites, always juicy and crispy, never soft. My only gripe is the up charge for regular grilled chicken. I don't wanna pay more to be healthy. Keep an eye out for coupons, they are plentiful read more

Food was good and very filling. The food presentation looked as good as the pictures. The chicken was smaller and thinner than expected, and I felt like there was more bread than chicken. The flavor was still good and fries were crispy. We got the honey mustard sauce for the dipping sauce and it did not disappoint. For a side, we got the super slaw, which also had a nice flavor with kale instead of cabbage and sesame seeds. A pro tip: the SF location has very limited parking and meter maids frequent the area, so allow time to find parking when picking up your food. read more

My husband and I ordered delivery from here tonight. The salad portion was very generous. It was very tasty but they forgot to put dressing on it.. Which is like half of the fun of a good salad : ( My husband got the hotbird sandwich which was good. We also ordered fries which unfortunately were cold by the time our food arrived. Overall, I would give this place another try/chance. We ordered during Covid19 lockdown so maybe they were backed up and missed a beat with orders or were backed up? read more

This was the most disappointing meal my wife and I have had in such a long time, the chicken was cold, the fries were stale & the way everything was put together was just embarrassing. I usually don't leave a bad review but this was beyond terrible. Never again will I do starbird, I wanted to see what the hype was about and let me tell you, I don't get it!! read more

This was terrible. I had Starbird at the airport and it was a 10/10. This location is not authentic to their brand. Please do not eat here. They didn't event have all the toppings on my salad that they advertised. They don't have a full selection of the menu and the chicken was cold. read more

This place is hit or miss. I order pick up from here quiet frequently since I live only a quarter mile way. The order quality us hit or miss. Sometimes the ingredients or chicken aren't that fresh, and I pick up the order immediately since I live just a quarter mile away. The worst part is that they do not allow messages to the kitchen, and they do not read the order tickets accurately. I'vs ordered salads with no cilantro, but have included double cilantro by accident. Let me emphasize customizations please! read more

Only go to this place if you are ordering to go. Do not go for pick up. It's poorly organized and the delivery drivers are very rude. I respect the hustle but I was pushed out of line. Not necessary. Food was actually very good considering it's a ghost kitchen. I recommend the salad with Elote. read more

I don't think I will order from them again - total I ordered 4 times from door dash/ubereat - this is second time that chicken wing covered with like 10% surface with their sauce - we are talking about classic BBQ and Buffalo sauce, nothing exotic. Their wings are consistent smaller than WingStop. But I seriously loss appetite looking at the wings when I received it last night - I notice the two times the less than ideal order happened around 6-9pm order. The order I placed from noon to afternoon was good. Their dipping sauces are yummy. But I won't risk again with 50/50 chance to have poor quality food. read more

My first experience at Starbird chicken was at sfo .I rate it a 4.5 out of 10. I wanted to give them another shot at their new location in ssf and I absolutely regret it .The lemon peppered wings were over seasoned and very salty .It felt like I had sand in my mouth .The wings were so small and didn't look like anything in the picture. The fries were dry and it seemed like it was sitting out for a while . The big star sandwich I also ordered ,the chicken was dry and seems like it was sitting in a heat lamp for a long time . I wasted 30 bucks on regular dry fries , over seasoned lemon peppered wings ,and the big dry star sandwich. read more

Been ordering from this location for a few years now. The quality was initially okay but has really tanked over the last year. Today my fries arrived only 1/3 full and cold. And I know it wasn't the delivery guy because the bag was very well secured- so the restaurant decided to only give me 6 fries lol. They also delivered the wrong sauce. Considering you only get 2 complimentary sauces and they're kinda essential with tenders this was a bummer. Lastly my order arrived with the slaw lid partially off and the slaw upside down so it leaked all over my bag. Also not the dashers fault if the lid wasn't properly on. read more

When I initially placed my order from here, I was so worried that the pictures were going to be better than the actual food. Let me tell you, that could not be further from the truth. Not only did the bowls I ordered taste amazing but they were incredibly colorful, flavorful and filling. The portion for their bowls is HUGE and you get all the bang for your buck. I would definitely consider coming here if you want to try a place that really does live up to the hype. 5 stars!! read more
