Sigh. Decided to try a second time, since we liked the food. Ordered delivery through the Starbird app. This time we received the completely wrong order. Like, someone else's food, but in the bag labeled with our name and receipt (so not the delivery person's fault). Sorry to John, whose food we got instead. I called the store and they said there was nothing they could do (though they did seem apologetic), that we had to request a refund through the contact form on the website. Reordered and got the correct food the second time. Once again the food was excellent, once we got the right stuff. Idk man idk read more

Starbird Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

as person who works a service job that may not have to do with food but with pets, i don't think the staff here get enough credit for the work they do. i work right next to starbird and usually grab food for lunch quite frequently (i should probably calm down) but the staff here are amazing and well paced!! love the food and it always is packaged beautifully and prepped well. great food and great service. keep up the good work everyone!! read more

Didn't even know they opened a location in Walnut Creek, just happened to luckily stumble across it. We came in not realizing they were about to close and they didn't rush us at all or even say that they were closing, and they were very helpful and kind! Great customer service! Tried the fried chicken sandwich from the Oakland location and it was ok so we decided to try the tacos and tenders here and they were so yummy. Sauces are just ok to me. read more

Starbird Chicken - Señor Baja Taco (highly recommend) & California Roll Taco - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've visited Starbird three times and each time left a sour taste in my mouth. The first time we went to Starbird the restaurant was closed for 3 hours due to staffing issues. I was pretty upset because I drove a decent distance to get there. The staff was sitting outside and didn't warn people that they were closed before the people got to the door. The next time we went to Starbird we were given the wrong order. We watched the worker check the receipt, look in the bag, and give us the wrong order. It was frustrating because one would expect the order to be correct after the worker reviewed both the receipt and contents. The third time we went to Starbird we were told they were out of Thai flavoring. We got the Korean tenders, which were ok, nothing special. The coleslaw we got was so salty that it was inedible. We had to spit it out and couldn't even finish it. I might be willing to give Starbird another shot, but given the plethora of better chicken places out there, I suggest you don't waster your time and money coming here read more

Overpriced for mediocre food. Much better prices and flavor at other spots for sure. To each's own.

Our new favorite place for a quick and delicious meal, especially since their chicken is all Gluten-free! I'm not GF myself, and I can't even tell, it's so good. We've been 4 or 5 times since they opened and the chicken tenders are always, well, tender:) I'm sure there are many words to better do it justice: succulent, moist, crispy outside but not inside? Yes, all that, but I'm no fried chicken aficionado, so let "marvelously delicious" suffice. Also, their Starbird Sauce is definitely in competition with my previous favorite, Chick-fil-A Sauce, in my mind. I haven't yet decided if the Ginger Mint lemonade is better than their regular lemonade, but both are great. The fries are just fries to me, perfectly good and adequate, but are great when dipped in the Starbird sauce. If you get the 4-tenders box, you can usually make two meals out of it, especially if you just get fries in place of the coleslaw. There were long lines the first couple times we went, but it seems things have calmed down since then, plus you can order in advance so it's ready when you arrive, if you're really worried. Just don't send your husband or someone to pick it up without the order number or even the name used, as saying "It's the order with the chicken," applies to every single order here! read more

Found a half dead bug in my salad, one leg still kicking I'm so disappointed, this is like my favorite salad place! I love their Thai chicken salad and always get it when I go. One time previous to this, I received under cooked chicken in a salad but let it go because we ordered a large order and I understand maybe they rushed a little or were busy, sh*t happens. read more

Starbird Chicken - Nashville HotBird w bacon and pepper jack cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Got the Nashville Hot bird in a lettuce wrap. So yummmmm didn't even get to take a picture.

I go to Walnut Creek location, Wonderful staff and great experience! loved my food and became a regular costumer ! ambiance is friendly; is there a 10 Star I can give them? read more

I thought it was going to be so much better I got a 10 piece wings the Buffalo and lemon pepper...but they were micro sized and dry. The Buffalo wings have a sweet taste to them. Their blue cheese is so thick and yuck. My husband got the Korean tenders and he ate it because he was so hungry but the taste could be so much better. The CHURROS TROUGH are bommmmbbbb. And u get 6 for $3. The fries are soo good especially with their honey miso sauce! read more

Um hello?! Close to home. Veggie chicken that doesn't taste frozen?! Yes please! This place is amazing and always constant. This is definitely a must try! read more

Their chicken is great but their employees can't read or count worth shit! Ordered 6 ounce container of sauce two different times and both times they screwed it upwith a one ounce container. Then they have the nerve to say they got the order right. What is a guy to do; not order from them anymore? Edit: Manager called me and set things right. read more

This is probably the best fast food chicken in the Walnut Creek area, both their sandwiches, and the tenders a real tasty. Ordering on their app is the easiest. Sometimes their ETA is a little slow but I usually order around lunchtime so I expect it to be off a bit, I love the Nashville hot sandwich, lettuce wrapped to keep the carbs down. read more

I went to this starbird location I. Walnut Creek about a month ago and ordered the basic Chicken sandwich for myself and my husband. It was very good. I was over in Walnut Creek yesterday and ordered two more to take home. These two sandwich's were seemingly already pre made and not fresh. The service was good but surely that chicken had been cooked earlier. I had recommended this restaurant to others but not now. I really was going to talk to owner directly but their phone system does not allow it. I am a small business owner and this could be avoided if he just answered phone . After paid bill with tip it was about 26.00. read more

I love starbird... today I got the Thai Chicken Salad and it came with something a little extra.... check your salads before biting in I guess read more

See all

I've come here a few times and always enjoy the fried chicken sandwich, tenders and fries. But the drinks are even better lol The lemonades are the best here!! My food is always fresh and tasty. I do wish that they covered the fries for to go orders because they are always cold when I get home. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is the price. I think it's overpriced for just chicken and fries. For that reason I cannot add it to my weekly takeout rotation. They offer promos often which is super helpful so definitely sign up for the app! read more

Best place HANDS DOWN for fried chicken! We are all obsessed and come regularly! Kids love the chicken tenders, I love their tacos and Dad loves the sandwiches. Definitely something for everyone read more

Starbird has the best chicken in town. The Chicken Chop salad cannot be beat!!! I have never been disappointed. The restaurant is always very clean and organized. The service is excellent! The manager and the staff are very professional and friendly. If you like fries, very few places can do extra, extra chrispy fries and they do it perfectly. If I could give 10 stars I would!!! read more

The have a great set up for the restaurant so if you're looking for something comfortable, fast and tasty this is the place. Food was delicious read more

Great boneless wings and bone in wings. Favorite with the Teenagers in our house. Easy to order in the App. French fries are delicious (although sometimes when ordering in the App the fries are cold when we get them). The 'star' sauce is very good and I love the variety of sauces and dry rubs they offer. We will definitely be regulars at Starbird. read more

Have to order on-line ( not user friendly) when arrived 30 min AFTER we were sent notice the order was ready was told they didn't have the order. Calls go to VM so you can't talk to manager. Need more training for handling situations like this. read more

The food was ok! I definitely have had better chicken wings. A bit too greasy for me. When I bit into the wings, I could taste and feel how much oil was in it especially in the garlic Parmesan wings (which I thought was not garlic-y enough). The Korean style wings was drenched in its sauce - a bit too much IMO. If you're trying to get good Korean wings, don't come here. Star sauce is great.. because it tasted more like chickfila sauce TBH. The wasabi aioli sauce was an adventurous choice and not bad actually. It could use a bit more of a kick. The combo came with fries and some celery. The fries were perfectly cooked and crispy. Actually they're my favorite part of the meal. In all, it was filling and a good, clean, modern fast food place to sit with friends for a quick lunch or dinner. The quality could use a bit of work especially with it being $14 at the end. Service was alright - I didn't interact much with the employees since I ordered via the kiosk. Order: 8 wings, Korean style, garlic Parmesan, with wasabi aioli and star sauce read more

Our local, go-to spot for a tasty, quick meal. They pump out the orders quickly and it's great to have so many ways to order (e.g., easy to use app, in-person, or via a kiosk). Love that the tenders are gluten free. Had the truffle tenders this time but the truffle cheese was a bit sour. Also ordered a chop salad and they were kind enough to give it to me with Buffalo chicken even though that isn't a typical option. They threw in an extra French fry which was unexpected but very appreciated. Service has been good, even when they are super busy. We'll be back again soon, I'm sure! read more

Not worth. I tried three flavors and some chicken strips, I must say I was dissatisfied with the taste. The bread was too dry and bland. The chicken crust was doughy and too salty! read more

Starbird Chicken - Packaging - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The quality of the boneless chicken was excellent. I wish I would have gotten all of mine with Buffalo flavor only, because I tried the Nashville Hot and it just wasn't very good. I thought it would be spicier, and more of like a hotter buffalo style, but it was more seasoned rather than like a wet dressing, if that makes sense. I am also curious about the garlic parmesean, may give that a try next time. I did really like the Star Sauce, their custom homemade sauce. I read it was described as a white BBQ sauce, but I disagree with that. It didn't remind me of BBQ sauce at all. It was lighter and not sweet. But I don't know what else to compare it to, it was just very good. I also got the Sriracha Buffalo, but lesson learned, I would just get two star sauce next time, or maybe one ranch and one star. The Sriracha Buffalo just wasn't very good, in my opinion. Now, the reason they lost a star is they don't put much of whatever flavor you choose on the wings. My Buffalo side was very dry and had multiple spots where there was no sauce. I would think for 8 wings costing almost $10 that it'd be drenched in flavor. The packaging was very clean and kept everything nicely separated, so if you are getting it to go, you can be sure nothing will get messed up. I want to try it again, and I'm hoping this time I'll have more of the flavor sauce mixed in. read more

Touted as San Francisco's best chicken. I think that might be a bit of a stretch, but to be honest it's still pretty good. I tried the Nashville hot sandwich, fried and "blazing," the Korean Sandwich grilled and an order of fries. Starting with the fries, not great. Pretty run of the mill fries and a sauce that's eerily similar to the cinnamon and brown sugar mayo that Kinders makes. The Nashville sandwich was pretty heavily coated in breading, but im not mad about that at all. That's what fried chicken is. The blazing aspect was a little lost on me, but I think I tasted some habaneros in there so for the average denizen im sure it would have a good amount of heat to it. The Korean sandwich had a better flavor in my opinion, but the bun didn't hold up well with all of the wet ingredients. There are some flaws that I could tell were from being a new restaurant and not indicative of the brand's recipes so I won't hold it against them. Go give it a shot, once they get comfortable in their new space, im certain they'll improve. read more

Starbird Chicken - Nashville Hot tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I knew something was wrong when my hungry hound would not eat this! Ordering was no problem, however, the Korean Glaze Chicken tender box is French fries in the box, common supermarket chicken tenders with Gochujang glaze poured on them & the French fries. Fries were soggy! Disappointing for $30+ ! Never again! read more

The food was very tasty until I took a bite and it was all raw!!! And the worst is that it took almost 30 minutes for our wings to get to us and it didn't even get to it I had to ask for it like 2 times because one of the managers which I think his name is Michael told us he would bring it to our table and never did. He was also not very nice maybe it's just the way he talks but his tone of voice seemed a bit rude, but maybe he was having a bad day? read more

Food is amazing! Really clean environment. And Angel was so sweet to my partner and I! Too good to be true :')

The chicken chop salad is my favorite. Food is usually ready pretty quickly making it an easy takeout option.

Starbird Chicken is one of my favorite comfort food restaurants, even being vegetarian, and time after time they have provided excellent service and food quality! Ever since they opened a few years ago at this location, I've been coming here (I did try the chicken tender box when I was not vegetarian, and from what I can remember, it was very good). Recently, I've been trying out their salads and adding the garden tenders to it, and wow oh wow it has really been great each time. I've only tried their "Chicken" Katsu salad and their Thai "Chicken" salad so far but I definely will be trying more! Would recommend to anyone looking for chicken of all sorts...they have tacos, sandwiches and wings as other menu options if you're looking to spice things up. read more

Ordered a mango cashew salad for takeout and they forgot to include the cashews. Make sure to check your order before leaving

Worst experience of many times eating here. The Chicken sandwich was cold. the chicken very tough seems not freshly made. The fries cold and soggy not crispy like in the past. Need someone in the store to make sure the product that is presented reflects what Starbird stands for. read more

Really like their hot chicken sandwich. Good flavor. Decent size. I get fries on the side. Drink optional.

Wow absolutely disgusting cold soggy trash. How dare you call this flat dry newspaper, chicken smh. For anyone who has given this place more than 1 star I feel bad for you, because unfortunately you have never had real chicken. This is literally frozen Tyson chicken pattys on some cheap nasty soggy bread with some seasoning. What a waste of $30. Oh yeah the fries are trash too, taste like they've been under a heat lamp for an hour. Seriously save your money and go to LITERALLY ANY OTHER chicken sandwich spot. There's tons out there that actually have good food, not this disgusting vile garbage. read more

Four stars but know this is a fast food restaurant. The lettice and vegtables were extremely fresh. That's not normally the case especially with fast food. The chicken was good as well. No decor and music not to my taste. The service was good though. Next time perhaps I will get the food to go. read more

I think Starbird is at the top end of fast food restaurants. I order online and eat in store. Order always ready promptly. I like the crispy chicken sandwiches especially. Fresh and satisfying taste. Also they have great lemonade and ice tea. read more

Having dined at their Oakland location, I received an invite for their Walnut Creek grand opening. A bit far from freeway access, Starbird Chicken is located in a nice shopping center next to Whole Foods. The ordering process was straight forward and as expected. Ordered a sandwich, salad, fries, and a sampler of their drinks. The sandwich was served hot and crispy. Nashville flavored, there was a nice spice/kick to it. Tasted fresh! The salad - large portion with chunks of crispy chicken. The salad dressing was very tasty, too. The fries were good - but not extraordinary. All in all, a solid choice for chicken eats! Hoping to get an invite to see if their service and food is still up to par in a month or so! read more
