The plaza is very busy, and parking is hectic. Finally, after a few circling around we found a spot. I ordered 12 wings with Thai Chili and Garlic Parmesan flavors. I asked for all flats, but I guess they didn't hear me. Oh well.. However, the chicken was packed with flavor and crispy. I also tried the Okonomiyaki Fries, basically like Takoyaki on fries, and I like it! My BF ordered the Starbird 2.0 sandwich with truffle fries, and he really loved it! We also tried the new Wasabi Aioli, and it was good, but my favorite will always be the Truffle Aioli. Overall, our order was fresh and made to perfection! Starbird is always on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. read more

This review is for the management of this location. I had a terrible experience at this Starboard location. It was over 102°F outside, and the air conditioning inside clearly wasn't working. All of the doors were propped open, making the store feel like an oven. When I asked an employee if the A/C was working, they insisted that it was. If that's true, then why were all the doors open? The heat made it extremely uncomfortable to enjoy a meal inside the restaurants, and it felt like customer comfort wasn't being taken seriously. In weather this hot, having a functioning air conditioner isn't a luxury--it's a necessity. read more

One word : Delicious This is my second time being here and I must say I was not disappointed. The first time I got send her chicken strips with no flavor as I was not sure what the flavors may taste like however, this time I decided to get the Nashville hot and it was so good. 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. read more

The food was hot, tasty and made to order. 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! read more

Walking in the place is well lit - they have kiosks for fast ordering and convenience- you can also order with a live person - we preferred the kiosk but did have questions beforehand- the employees were quick to answer all our questions! The food was good and they have several sauce options to choose from which I loved! For two people - 2 meals came out to $40; the typical cost for it being in Pleasanton! The restaurant is nice; I recommend you try it at least once if in the area! read more

In the mood for delicious chicken? This was our first time visit here. My kids recommended Starbird Chicken for some ono fried chicken sandwiches. We ended up buying a variety of menu items to try tonight. The ordering is simple. Use a kiosk to enter your choices and pay by credit cards, Apple Pay or cash. A seasonal Japanese Bbq line up was featured today. We ordered the Japanese Bbq tender box, Tokyo sesame crunch salad, sides of French fries, 10 piece wings with half Parmesan and half Sweet Thai Chili. Sauces and salad dressing were ordered on the side. Sauces included the Star sauce (a secret recipe that is described as creamy, sweet and tangy, like a blend of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar and spices), Honey Chipotle BBQ, Wasabi Aioli and Tokyo Sesame salad dressing (carrot ginger dressing). The chicken tenders are crunchy and lightly coated on the outside. The tenders are moist and delicious inside. The chicken wings are lightly coated and crispy! The Parmesan and Sweet Thai Chili seasoning are savory and flavorful. A winner combination. Service is fast and efficient here. Your order is made quickly. There are clean tables and chairs located inside and outside. Take out is available as well. All gender bathrooms are available inside the restaurant. Free parking out front of the restaurant. read more

Starbird Chicken - Wonderful place to eat brought my family here. Great hospitality was a nice place to get out of the sun inside ac was wonderful!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We were in the area the other week and were curious what this shop was. Then we saw some gift cards for sale in the nearby Costco, and I was wondering if we would be able to spend the amount that the gift card offers lol! We finally got to try Starbird today, and we got the Indian hotbird sandwich, Avo Cabo salad, and a side of fries. My fat fingers accidentally hit the "lettuce wrap, no bun" option for the Indian hotbird sandwich when we ordered at the kiosk (we didn't figure this out until we opened the box at home). Even though that was the case, they used romaine lettuce, and it was so crisp. The Indian hotbird tenders had a good flavor profile, and it wasn't that spicy. I would order this again, but would probably go for the regular bun option lol. The chicken was a bit soggy for this one, since it had lots of sauce and romaine lettuce, but again, I accidentally clicked for the lettuce, which I would expect to add to the sogginess of the crispy chicken. The Avo Cabo salad was HUGE! Definitely good as a standalone meal or to share. There was also a generous amount of crispy chicken in there chopped up. The chicken was pretty crispy even though it was next to the lettuce in this box, maybe a bit on the salty side for me, when the dressing was added to it. There is also a good amount of batter on the chicken. I am not a fan of cotija cheese because of the smell, but I can see how people would enjoy that. I would probably order it without cotija next time. I really liked the jicama...it seemed like it had a bit of tajin. The jicama was crunchy but had a bit of a softness to it, like a Korean pear texture. I also liked that there was avocado in this salad, which is also why I chose it. For $4.27, the fries were kind of small. It had a nice amount of salt, but was more on the soggy side for me. My husband enjoyed the sogginess of the fries, though. I would probably order these extra crispy next time. Service was friendly. Even though we didn't click on the utensils and napkins for checkout at the kiosk, they ensured that we got some when they offered and we took them up on their offer. There were some tables that seemed dirty when we came in, but probably they were dealing more so with the dinner time rush for to-go orders rather than getting to clean the tables. I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches, salads, and even their nuggets! read more

I've only ordered from here via door dash, it is really delicious! I was skeptical ordering out for a salad, because I've had a number of bad experiences with the quality when being delivered from other places. This is my second time ordering from here and everything seems super fresh and clean. Flavor combination is on point. I also love that they make sure the delivery bag is sealed tightly with their security stickers. Also had the fries and they are nicely seasoned, so far so good ! Looking forward to trying more of their menu read more

WINNER-WINNER, Chicken Dinner! Literally. This is by far the BEST chicken eatery in the Bay Area! And the majority of the menu is GLUTEN FREE!!!!! But their menu options are not only better, heavier options than their competitors, it's absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!! Service, STELLAR! Space, CLEAN! Menu, REASONABLY PRICED! Be sure to try the Star sauce if you get the wings. Lemon pepper is my fav! My favorite salad is the spicy crunch! Flavorful, filling with a hearty serving of chicken. And the lemonade is Can't wait to return! read more

Food is always delicious and fresh. Ambience is nice too. Clean, well taken care of. Drinks are SO good! Love their selection. But what really makes me love going to Starbirds is their customer service! I mean the best of the best! Idk how they've found the kindest sweetest humans to work there but they do. Multiple times I've been greated with a happy, helpful crew! read more

This place has the flavor that I'd like to see at Proposition Chicken. This place has a good, crisp, sizable, gluten-free fried chicken tender. My sister told me about this place and we were in Walnut Creek so we went. It was nice and cute inside and had plenty of space to sit. My husband was being a baby and didn't want anything, so I ordered for the both of us - Nashville hots for him and the regular for me. I'm so glad that I ordered four pieces. The chicken was hot, crisp, and oh, so good... First of all, the hubby loved it. After two tenders, my husband admitted that he was full. So was I. Those tenders were huge and flavorful. And the sauces, I ordered the Starbird sauce, the truffle aioli, and the herbed aioli. They were all solid and brought another layer of flavor to the party. The fries were good too. We ordered two and got three. I know that next time we will order a single fry and two orders of tenders. And I was glad to see the soda there, the Alameda Soda Company has good sodas and I haven't seen them anywhere since Boss Burger closed. I won't be here much because it is so far out of the way. Can someone please get a franchise in a much closer place to me so that this can become a regular haunt. They are proof positive that gluten free fried food is good and flavorful. My husband absolutely loved it and called my sister to thank her for the reference. That's how good it was. There food was so good, that they can be forgiven for not having a gluten free bun for a sandwich because the solid flavor of the chicken and the dipping sauces are a match made in heaven! read more

I regret not trying Starbird sooner. The food was amazing! My son got the chicken tenders & they were big, meaty, juicy & fresh! Perfectly battered & delicious! I had the chimichuri chicken salad & it much bigger than I expected & really delicious! We also got the churros with maple syrup, what a surprisingly good combo! The churros were crispy & not drowning in sugar & cinnamon, which we both enjoyed! The price was very reasonable for how much food was given & how fresh & yummy everything was! We will definitely be back! read more

First time at this place. I ordered the Thai Chicken salad and it was really tasty. The dressing was not too sweet like most places when you order Thai style and chicken was crispy. Staff were friendly & service was fast. The place was relatively clean as well. read more

Starbird is great, but didn't feel particularly special. It's pretty pricy for chicken sandwiches, and wasn't all that flavorful. However, the food does feel high quality and natural. It's not overly greasy and is definitely good. The Greek yogurt ranch was amazing, and the Korean style sandwich was super fun fusion. I wish that the truffle fries had more truffle, as they were mostly just cheesy. Overall, nothing is super wrong - the portion sizes are great, the food was good. It just wasn't amazing for the price, and I was left feeling sort of like my chicken sandwich itch wasn't scratched, if that makes sense. read more

The tenders are a good size. I ordered the 4 piece, but I was pretty much full after finishing 2 pieces. The fries are better than any fast food chain I've tried, and i recommend trying their in-house lemonade (sooooo good!). The place is pretty clean, the lady at the counter was helpful when I was asking about what the "star sauce" was, service was fast. I would recommend. read more

Starbird Chicken in Walnut Creek: My New Crunchy Obsession! Okay, let me just say, Starbird Chicken in Walnut Creek is quickly becoming my go-to spot for a crispy, saucy, chicken-fueled happiness fix. I've visited the place by a couple of times, and I'm already daydreaming about my next visit. Here's the breakdown on why this place is great. Parking? No Sweat! No dedicated parking lot, but the plaza around Starbird is like a treasure hunt for spots--plenty to go around, so you won't be circling like a vulture. Easy peasy. Vibes. The outdoor seating is perfect for soaking up some sun or chilling under the stars. And when the sun goes down? Those illuminations are straight-up magical, like dining in a cozy, twinkly wonderland. Instagram-worthy, for sure. Staff. The crew here is so friendly, I almost forgot I was a first-timer. They walked me through the menu like I was their VIP, telling their favorite items and helping me pick the perfect order. I felt like I was chatting with friends. Inside The place is clean. No sticky tables or mystery crumbs in sight. Plus, they've got tables for every squad size--solo diners, duos, or a whole party. Ordering - Pick Your Personality. Starbird's got options for every social vibe. Introverts, rejoice: you can order through the app or get delivery. Medium social butterflies? Hit the kiosk inside. Extroverts? Strut up to the counter and chat it up. Drinks Their drink lineup is like a soda adventure. I'm talking unique flavors you won't find just anywhere--Lost Island Ginger Beer, Cable Car Lemon Lime, and my personal fave, Olde Fountain Creme. It's like they raided a soda museum and brought back the good stuff. Food The chicken strips are the star of the show for me -- original and garlic parmesan are my favourite. They're very crunchy and crispy. The sauce game is next-level, too. Mango Habanero? Spicy and sweet perfection. Greek Yogurt Ranch? Creamy dreaminess. Star Sauce? I don't know what's in it, but I want to bathe in it. The only hiccup? The boneless wings. The Cali Gold BBQ and Lemon Pepper ones were too dry. Way too salty, like they got lost in a spice rub blizzard. If they could make those juicier and dial back the salt, they'd be unstoppable. Almost forgot, they can make all of your salads order protein free. Overall - I'm Hooked! Starbird Chicken is a vibe, whether you're flying solo or rolling with your crew. Their hours are super flexible, so you can satisfy your chicken cravings pretty much anytime. If you're in Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and wing it over to Starbird. You won't regret it! read more

After previously having issues with missing items, we decided to order from this place again through DoorDash. I called the dasher and asked him to verify with the restaurant that all my dressings were included in the bag. The employee his name is Leo confirmed to the dasher that he had personally checked and that all dressings were inside. The dasher reiterated that this was important because dressings had been missing in the past, and the employee again assured him everything was included. The order arrived, and two dressings were still missing. How does this continue to happen? Mind you I got told it was going to be addressed. read more

We haven't been here awhile so wanted to try again. Chicken is tender, crispy, and juicy. The slaw in sandwich was creamy and crispy and offered a nice balance. They had a new bah mi glavor so we teied the salad and it was spicy and sweet and absolutely delicious. The sandwich and salad were huge! And they had a unique drink selection that included Thai tea and pineapple limeade. The only reason we docked it a star was the fries wasn't too special. While the truffle aoili was good. the fries were just ok. Next time will save money and hust get regular fries. But overall a great meal. Had enough salad to bring home. Next time we need to return whenever the chicken craving hits. read more

Starbird has become mine and my wife's go to quick meal. We honestly have to stop ourselves from coming here so we don't burn out. We generally get the 4 piece tender box with extra fries and it's plenty to feed us both. The chicken is always very crispy and super fresh. Like you'll burn yourself fresh. Fries as well. Their array of sauces are all good, but the star sauce and chipotle bbq are clear winners. I also get the Big Star chicken sandwich from time to time and it is easily the best chicken sandwich in the game. So fresh and crispy it's great. The rotating lemonades and teas are always great as well, and they have local sodas which is nice too. Easily my favorite chicken spot in the area. read more

Parking plenty Lights bright, not loud. Only 2 bathrooms(2 toilets) Clean tables First time trying, definitely better than canes or chick-fila IMO cause of the variety of options. Great beverage choices too. Didn't take long for food to be served hot. A bit pricey but worth it. read more

Consistently great food and service every time myself and my family comes here. I love the fact that the chicken is gluten free due to me having a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance.

I had literally just gotten through writing them a rave review over the chimichurri chicken salad and things. My children like walked in today to order. They no longer have chimichurri okay, it's seasonal. I get that, but then also no longer carry the truffle aioli sauce which is their best sauce. The kids told me to forget the lunch and we walked out and it will probably be at least another year before we see if they have anything we're willing to eat. My big problem is every time I do find something to eat they immediately change the menu. It's ridiculous read more

When ordering on line for pick up they forgot the requested extra sauce fairly often. Their website is horrible. You cannot just log in to your account. You have to have an email sent and set up a new account, which takes away your points from before. It sometimes takes 2 tries just to be able to set up another new account to order on line. read more

Thoughtful, speedy service BUT (in my salad) the lettuce was rusted and the crispy chicken was fried hours or days earlier. So not crispy, not tasty, not fresh. Disappointing because this place used to be good. Now the prices are up and the quality disappeared. read more

From the friendly smiling staff to the speedy and accurate service, and all the great food in between. Your appetite is sure to be satisfied here at starbird.

I always walk out of here with a smile. read more
