If you've been to Starbird before, you know the quality and experience. Personally, it's always positively delicious. Located at the B gates in SFO, this Starbird is unique by being the only Starbird location to have a breakfast option. With the sounds and view of SFO airport surrounding the restaurant, the mood feels like a coffee shop. But what doesn't change compared to other Starbirds is that the great quality is still there, the affordability is good, and the service is phenomenal. And personally speaking, the service went over and beyond! I made an error with an order and was about to place a new one. One of the staff members, Grace, noticed and helped me out in getting my correct order, so many thanks to her for her help with my issue! Yeah, I'm personally biased as the Starbird near my area is great, both food and staff. The only downside for this location is not being able to use coupons if you have the app. But otherwise, I'm happy to see my Starbird experience go beyond cities, even when I'm about to fly away to another one. read more

Long layover so I decided to eat. Lol. I misread the menu and thought the $12.70 was a combo. Silly me. I got a bacon chicken sandwich combo with lemonade to drink. Man! Everything was delicious. I thought my flight home would be close to this eatery so I could enjoy another sandwich. Definitely eat here again. read more

First of all, I tapped my card, and 15 seconds later, they called my name!!! They had it ready! Amazing service after and still gave me extra sauce! Thank you so so much! You will never miss your flight here hahah read more

The Thai salad was bomb!! So good. I needed ice for my drink later on and the dude I got it from was super nice too!

Delish! The line looked long but it moved very fast as well. 10/10 highly recommend it!

The night crew was absolutely amazing. I was having a really bad check-in experience and I just stopped by to grab by and they were very kind to me and my family. read more

They're open late and they have a good fresh food. Staff is always friendly and I always know what to expect.

Amazing chicken at a good price next to my gate! Solid and great, recommend it if you need something fast and good and aforable.

Not affiliated with starbird, you cannot earn rewards points and it's overpriced sad...I don't recommend this restaurant at the airport

Triple OG's ova here. Gave me XTRA Thai Glaze on da real doe. Homie knew what was up. Risked his job, his family, his entire life just to make my chicken more tasty read more

Pretty good chicken sandwich and I think it's one of the better food options in this terminal. Ordering is quick and easy at the kiosk. Price is fair, especially for the airport. Fries could use some salt though, tasted too healthy for me. read more

The food is great The staff needs training Very Rude each time I go visit. I called them 4 times "excuse me" I was Ignored until I said "I know you hear me!!" Zero customer service. Maybe hire & train people who really want to work read more

I ordered a chop salad and ask if they could wrap the salad since they have tortillas for burritos. I would pay for the tortilla, but she said not. I don't think this was that hard to do. Salad looks good. Haven't eat it yet. read more

Full menu Starbird (not like the half-ass Chicken chain competitor in SJC). Tastes like Starbird. Though I haven't been to a Starbird in a while, it looks like their tendies maybe got a little smaller and their fry qty got a little bigger. Not that I'm complaining about more fries (though it's hard not to eat the entire pound given), but tendies I wish were bigger. read more

Starbird Chicken - Nashville tendy box - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

Fast and yummy! great food - fresh! Even surprised us with an extra chicken tender! Ordering was very easy and I felt comfortable customizing! read more

Food is made fresh. But tastes like it's all been frozen. Althoughyheyboromote chicken with no antibody's and fresh it doesn't taste fresh. They also take long to provide the food once you pay. So don't come here if your in a rush to board. The chicken burrito is hearty but a bit spicey. Worth the try. read more

This was a fantastic stop before my flight! The Nashville HotBird chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy, tender, and juicy, with just the right amount of heat for that bold Nashville flavor. The fresh toppings and soft bun tied it all together, making every bite satisfying. What made it even better was how convenient it was--being in the same terminal as my flight meant I didn't have to go out of my way for a great meal. It's the perfect spot to grab something flavorful and filling before traveling. read more

My go to spot pre-flight! Great service and the food is always on point. Easy and delightful experience.

One of my favorite airport restaurants. They make excellent organic chicken.. tenders, sandwiches, and salads with great sauces and awesome fries. Walked all the way from E gates to eat here and it never disappoints. Chose this over the centurion waitlist and would again and again. read more

Stopped by Starbird and tried a chicken sandwich. Overall the chicken was thin. Ratio of chicken to breading was 70 breading 30 chicken. The sauce was ok and the ingredients were fresh, but nothing out of the ordinary. Id return if I'm the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to try again. read more

Kind of pricey but it was pretty good chicken. Ordered the chicken sandwich with fries along with a chicken tender box with coleslaw. The food was good per se but the food counter, seating area and surrounding is gross. Like the tables are dirty and the side standing tables are holding their supplies like the fry oil and produce. They should be really keeping their supplies inside the restaurant. Also the pick up counter is in front of these awkwardly arranged seating tables. People waiting for food, people don't want to sit in the tables. It's just not good flow. So chicken with the yogurt ranch sauce is good. But the logistics of Starbirds restaurant is not so good. read more

Starbird is my favorite fried chicken places and I have introduced many people to it. That said the airport location is awful comparatively speaking and prob damaging the brand for the many fine city locations. In short: - Can't use app - Can't seem to get or use Starbird points at this location - Prices are more than 50% more than other locations - They charge a 5% EE benefits surcharge - Pieces are way smaller and not as crispy as city locations - understaffed - No digital board showing ready orders like other locations - No Tater tots at this location after 10:30a In short twice the price and half the value. I get the price increase for being at the airport, but please maintain the quality! If you dined at the SFO Starbird and disliked it please give another location a try. read more

Amazing service and positive vibes. The man serving food at the pickup area had everyone smiling :)

I'm so glad that I stumbled upon Starbird Chicken while roaming Terminal 1! I knew I'd need something filling for my long flight, and their Chicken Chop Salad caught my eye. It came with crispy chicken, tomatoes, roasted corn, avocado mash, pepitas, crispy tortillas, cotija, and a delicious Chipotle Lime Dressing. The chicken was tender, crispy, and juicy and the dressing tired everything together perfectly - it's honestly one of the best salads I've had in a while! I ordered from the kiosk and the staff who gave me my order was super friendly. I'll definitely be crossing my fingers for more Terminal 1 flights just so I can grab this salad again! read more

Terminal 1 is really revolutionizing airport food with some tasty options. Their chicken sandwich is something I'd actually buy in a non-airport situation. Though, following in the footsteps of In-N-Out, their fries need a serious makeover. Starbird: Surprisingly good sandwich for airport food. The fried chicken breast was crunchy over every bit of the surface area, but tender meat inside. The buttery roll was nice and fluffy, a perfect contrast. I liked all the veggies, adding some texture and flavor contrast without making it overwhelming vegetable-forward. Sauce was good too. Fries: Sadly, this was a blight on an otherwise great meal. The fries were soggy and limp. Also, tasted too oily. It seemed they were made fresh, which is admirable, but more attention should be paid to making them crispy. Even fresh fries should be twice-fried for better texture. Strawberry Lemonade: Very refreshing. Tasted freshly made. The candy-like strawberry was a great pairing to the slightly tart lemonade. Way better than fountain soda. read more

Great food, great service. Jackson is so helpful!! Thank you. This is the place to go if you want to stop for a quick bite at SFO.

As an airport employee I've come to rely on Starbird for quick, friendly service. Food quality is consistent and they make great salads. My fave is the Green Goddess Cob. Jackson who is a very spirited customer service rep there is a great guy. It's best to pre-order for fastest service. read more

I was really surprised at how good the chicken was here, I never expect airport food to be great, but the chicken strips here were awesome, fries were perfect too, everything was hot, fresh and delicious!!! The selection of sauces were amazing too, I love this place. read more

Starbird - A Hidden Gem at SFO Airport If you're flying through San Francisco International Airport and craving some delicious fried chicken, look no further than Starbird. Despite being in an airport, this spot offers high-quality, flavorful food that far exceeds typical airport dining options. I ordered the Starbird Meal, which is a fried chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely incredible. The chicken was perfectly fried--crispy on the outside, juicy and moist on the inside. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the sandwich was perfectly balanced with fresh toppings and a soft, toasted bun. The fries that came with the meal were also a standout--crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. It was a satisfying, comforting meal that I'd definitely order again. My wife went for the Starbird 2.0 Meal, which didn't disappoint either. The chicken was equally delicious, and the added flavor profile in the 2.0 version was a great twist. We didn't get into specifics of the differences, but she was more than happy with her choice. Our son had the Kids Meal, which came with chicken tenders, fries, and a drink. The tenders were just as good as the fried chicken--crispy and tender on the inside. The fries were a perfect match, and the meal was a great size for a child. Overall, Starbird at SFO is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a tasty, high-quality meal while traveling. The food is flavorful, fresh, and a cut above the typical airport food. If you're passing through the airport, make sure to stop by! read more

Chicken sandwich is very good - maybe a little salty. Not enough sauce for the sandwich and if you ask for more, they charge extra. It's not like I wanted to take some home, just help the sandwich. Not a deal breaker, just annoying. read more

Starbird sandwich was the fast food chicken sandwich I was expecting. Crispy and satisfying. The star sauce had a dash off bbq sauce that completed the sandwich. It was like an in-n-out, but with chicken. Not the best chicken sandwich I've had but exactly what I was looking for. The parmesan truffle fries exceeded my expectation for a fast food joint. The fries were on the softer side exactly how I liked them. The aoli sauce was very good. read more

First time trying this chain of chicken food. Chicken was great. Extra crispy like I prefer but still lots of good pieces of dark and white chicken meat. Sauces were nice. Fries tasty unlike other places. Wife had the grilled chicken Cobb salad, which she said was fantastic. Self service kiosks were a nice add and very easy to use. No one breathing over you and staring at you when you decide on tip or not. read more

Love this location! They make a salad you can't find elsewhere (or at least not at the South San Francisco location) -- Chicken Katsu. The BEST Starbird salad, and better than any salad at Chick-fil-A. I happen to prefer their grilled chicken -- they make it SO good there -- and the flavors of the Katsu sauce and the dressing plus the edamame and other ingredients make for one helluva good salad. read more

I love the salads at this place. Just not where the prepared (1) does not wear gloves to prepare food and (2) leaves my order to restock the a salad bar again without gloves, adding a 10 minutes wait. read more
