Great place to regroup, recharge, and grab a quick bite while you strategize what store to go to next. It's great that they have outdoor seating so you can get some sunshine on the nice days. Also, they never seem to be too busy/ service is always quick. My go to is always the Big Star Sandwich. You get a giant, crispy piece of fried chicken, what's not to love? I also ordered a side of elote which is also a favorite of mine. It's so good! If I could order a large bowl of it, I would. read more

This is our family's new favorite chicken place when we go to this town. It is more of self service. There is a kiosk for self ordering. Cashier is still available. Monitor screen is accessible for you to check the progress of your order. Kept clean by staffs who go around every so often. They actually check religiously if you need anything at all from table napkin to sauce to anything. read more

We stopped by for lunch! The place wasn't too busy when we came, but more people started coming in afterwards. You can place your order at the counter or at a kiosk (which we opted for). It was really easy and the food came out fast! The inside had plenty of seating. I opted for one of their salads and my partner got a sandwich and fries. The service size of my salad was great and well worth the money. I really enjoyed the dressing that came with it. The chicken was crispy and the toppings tasted fresh. My partner really enjoyed his sandwich and especially loved how crispy the chicken was. We both shared the fried which were pretty good. I forgot my purse and didn't realize until about 20 minutes after we had left. I called the restaurant and they were able to locate my purse and safely store it for me. I was so grateful to them for getting it back safely! Overall, the food was good and service was excellent! read more

This is a solid spot for your chicken sandwich fix. The buns are toasty and the chicken is well spiced and crispy. Absolutely love their soda! It was a pretty warm day so the coca cola was really refreshing. The size of the sandwich however was disappointing. While it was really tasty, it didn't make up for the small size at its higher price point, IMO. I tried the Nashville Hotbird and Indian Hotbird; delicious but were pretty small. I did really like the Masala Street fries and would order again. I think this place is worth trying if you're a chicken sandwich fan otherwise it's a bit on the pricier side. read more

I need to update my review to five stars because the food has been excellent! My go to order is the chicken chop salad with either grilled or crispy chicken. Sometimes I'll order the garlic Parmesan wings and lemon pepper wings. The portions are big which is always nice. I usually order from their app and they fulfill my orders fast every time. read more

I will say this place has improved over the last couple years. I guess there's a new management team because I actually get what I ordered now instead of random nonsense. The chicken is tasty and well cooked and I enjoy the salads. Just wish it didn't take like 5 years for them to get it together read more

I was walking by and saw a sign in the window that said "Voted Beat Chicken Sandwich in the Bay Area!" I stood there and thought "Well that sounds good." I didn't get a chicken sandwich, but ordered the four piece chicken tenders instead. They looked good, had a nice crispy crust, and some were even kinda moist. They rest were dry and stringy, like those old ladies who made one too many trips to the tanning beds. To actually call them tenders was a bit of a stretch because they tough from getting so dried out. The fries weren't much better. They were slumped over in their container like they'd lost their enthusiasm for life. Sort of like an aging night security guard asleep at his desk with nothing but a bologna on white bread sandwich for diner. To go with my fries, I ordered some sauces that I've nicknamed "Bland Ranch," "Not So Blue Cheese," and "You-Call-This-Truffle? Aioli. ". They were not good. After I left, I looked at the very same sign I saw when I walked in and thought "By who? The dry chicken sandwich lovers of the Bay Area?" read more

The food scene is very competitive in Marin County and for casual diners, It's no different. This was my first time eating at Starbird's and the food was amazing. The Indian seasoning definitely brought a new twist to fried chicken. The Masala street fries are highly recommend! In addition to delicious food, the staff was excellent and the prices are reasonable. read more

I have been ordering from here since they first opened and love all of their salads as well as their rewards program. I enjoy trying the seasonal salads and and am happy that the elote salad made it onto the regular menu (the California Gold BBQ seasonal was also really tasty so I hope it comes back). I like the green goddess cobb and Thai Chicken salads from the regular menu as well. The drinks are delicious too, I especially like the ginger beer. Service is consistently quick and reliable. read more

Starbird is a nice addition to the Town Center. They've got a fried chicken sandwich that stands up well to the Chick Fil A and Popeye's ones, while being distinct enough to have its own flair. Their special sauce goes well with everything on the menu, and they even have house made sodas from the fountain machine that are actually pretty good. They also rotate their lemonades and teas. One time I got Thai tea and it wasn't half bad. I'm not a huge fan of their slaw, which feels like it's trying too hard to appeal to the health-conscious folks. Don't expect much in the way of customer service or employee interaction. They really expect you to use the self serve kiosks, and if you need any extra sauces or have an issue with their order, they can take a LONG time to notice you standing at the serving window looking for help. Pricing is in line with what you'd expect for a small lunch or dinner in a place like this here in Marin -- you'll probably spend $16 or so on your order, assuming you get a drink and leave a tip. read more

This is my favorite chicken place in the Bay Area. I live in the Richmond district in SF and I come here every month. There is no sit down starbird in SF it's the closest from my home. I enjoy the salads because the chicken and the size of the salads are big enough for me to have 2 meals. The place has indoor seating and outdoor. I came here yesterday and enjoyed sitting outside had fries, chicken strips and the Thai salad with chicken. I ordered the Greek inspired one I liked it, but gave it to my mom after a few bites because she couldn't handle the heat of the Thai salad. The service is pretty much self serve where you order from the tablet and pick up at the counter. We ordered a lot of food and had leftovers. The people behind the counter gave us lids for the salads and a bag for our leftovers. read more

Came in while doing some Christmas shopping and quickly realized that this is a popular place. They have 2 kiosks at the door where you can order yourself and someone at the counter who is eager to help. We had the Big Star & the starbird and both were tasty. We had never been here so we ordered our own fries but the portions are so large that one order can be shared. Their berry lemonade is a MUST try. Fyi, no bathrooms inside, but the shopping center bathrooms are right next door. read more

Not everything tastes like chicken here, there's a special kind of taste to their chicken. Can't miss the location with all the bright yellow chairs, decor, signage, etc. Took over the former Baja Fresh location. Not only are their wings and chicken sandwiches phenomenal, the salads are ginormous and tasty. My daughter makes two servings out of their bountiful salads. I like their orange chicken salad. The DIY kiosks are really convenient, makes ordering fast and easy. There's plenty of parking in this shopping center. Kid-friendly and dog-friendly. My kids still love coming to this Town Center with me, and they're grown adults now. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

I'm a sucker for Fried Chicken. It speaks to the Seoul of a Korean person lol. With that being said My son and I actually stumbled upon this place by accident. We were actually looking to go to The Counter but they were permanently closed (Say Whaaaat?!). Since it was our first time here our person behind the counter was very thorough explaining everything and asked if we wanted all the things on our order. He also followed up with us which is a nice touch. They also have ordering kiosks if you want less human interface. I like how they have an interesting twist on their menu. They have the right amount of selections to choose from. I was really tempted to try the Seoul Star or the Nashville Hot Chicken Sando but I'll save that for next time. I ended up getting the Cali Bacon and my son got the chicken wings. The Cali Bacon had the usual lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and a real interesting mayo with liquid smoke and a dash of sugar and pepper. It added a nice flavor profile to the sandwich. One cool feature of this place is that you can choose between the flats or drums when ordering wings. I thought that was kinda cool, especially for my son. He didn't care though lol. We both ordered fries but it was actually too much food and we wasted an order of fries. Had I known I would order just 1 fries as I really don't like wasting food. They also had a few chick salads which looked amazing. Order neighbor next to us ordered one and she was looking like she was enjoying it. Again, a decent sized serving. Their drink selection is pretty cool too. It's sourced from a local alameda based small batch beverage company. They had interesting soda flavors but I went straight for the Peach Iced Tea which is one of my favorites next to... Beer. One of the things I really appreciated was the bright, clean atmosphere. They did a good job designing the interior with clean tile, bright to medium woodgrains and splashes of yellow in both signage and tile. The last interesting point is the the bathrooms are external. It's right next door which isn't a big deal. This location is in an outdoor mall environment, hence the external bathroom. Overall a great place and I'll definitely be back to check out the Korean style sando and a salad. Enjoy! read more

I really love the CA Gold BBQ sandwich! Its on repeat for me whenever I'm hungry and in the area. I also enjoy the elote side salad. They have local sodas and varying fruit lemonades, etc. so I always get a cream soda or beverage. It's clean and staff are friendly and happy. My order is always on time or early and it seems like they enjoy working there. I rarely eat there but have occasionally snagged a table outside. It's clean oil for the frying and never tastes gross, my wife loves the salad options and I like that I've discovered a place we can both enjoy that serves good food and isn't killing us financially - thank you!!!! read more

Great chicken and food. It's not fast but it's worth the wait! Plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The parking lot is always a madhouse but usually a spot can be found pretty quickly. read more

I like this place and came here with some family especially to try the new "orange chicken" flavor offering. We ordered some usual items, and I got the Gardenbird tenders with orange sauce. Interestingly, the orange sauce is only in a small side cup. I would have liked to see the sauce drizzled on the tenders, as the one cup when rationed barely was enough, but I guess I'll have to get one or two extra sauces next time. If you are expecting a tossed orange chicken experience, like other restaurants offer, don't hold your breath. Good flavor to the sauce, but fails on application. Also tried the truffle fries. More parmesan than truffle so wouldn't order the special truffle again. The regular fries are good enough. Otherwise, a great meal. And I tried the Ginger Beer natural soda, and it had good natural (read: spicy!) ginger taste. This is not your grandfather's Canada Dry ginger ale! Delicious . . . Will try orange sauce again - just have to remember to order extra sauces. read more

It's been so long since I've been to a Starbird location so I had some expectations already coming in. We ordered at a kiosk, and our food was ready in about 10 minutes. Super vibrant interior decor. The afternoon sun hits the restaurant really well, which adds to the overall mood. Lots of seating inside and outside! I had the truffle parmesan chicken tenders. I thought it was alright. The tenders were a little dry and my fries were also soggy. I'm not so sure if it's something I'd order again. My brother had the thai glazed chicken tenders and I actually liked it a lot more than my order. Right amount of kick to it and a good amount of sauce for the chicken and the fries. Starbird didn't really stand out to me compared to Chick Fil A or Raising Canes, but I wouldn't mind coming back again if I'm in the area. read more

Not even gonna lie, this is probably one of the most slept on chicken places in my opinion. It's a chain, so we can't really expect too much. But every time I've eaten here, it's been delicious and satisfying. Starbird Chicken is located near Starbucks in the Corte Madera shopping center. They have a good selection of chicken dishes including wings, tenders, sandwiches, and salads. To order, you can walk up to the register or order contactless. The green goddess cobb salad with crispy chicken is my absolute favorite thing to order from here! I honestly come here for that and an order of fries, and I'm good. From what I remember, their wings are pretty good too. Oh, and their churros? Divine! Portion sizes are decent, so bring a friend if you want to try out a few items on their menu. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so they can house a good amount of people for dine-in. As far as service goes, it's a hit or miss. I've had both really great interactions with employees, and others that have sort of just fell flat. All in all, a solid place to get some good chicken. Would recommend a try if you're shopping at this center! read more

Starbird is like a classier canes and Chick-fil-A. You pay a more but you get higher quality too. This location is located in the ever busy shopping center in Corte Madera. It is a bigger location than the Sunnyvale one I have been to. Lunch time is a big rush but catching it after high times will be best as the food will take much longer with the lunch rush I have noticed. The cashier there (didn't get his name) is friendly and always has a funny quip. And perhaps why it takes longer is the menu. It has salads, sandwiches, tendies, etc. so it is more varied than their competitors and probably takes a little more time to get orders prepped. Last time I stopped by I got the 3 piece Nashville tendies. The chicken is good, fried part is a nice crisp, and flavor of the Nashville hot powder is good too. It's not that spicy at "normal" so hot will probably be better should spicy be preferred. Star sauce is good. Not amazing but it's good. Fries are decent as well. Slaw is kale if you're into that. Two seemingly (starbird branded jackets) corporate employees were sitting near me testing out their menu with a bunch of items on their table, so I'm glad to see they do QC every so often too. read more

Starbird Chicken - 3 Nashville Hot Tender Box - Chicken Shop Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Looking for quick, affordable eats.. this is the place. Coming back from the city hubby got the starbird and fries, I got starbird 2.0 and Bahn mi fries and small drink. $35 We could've easily split a single order of fries. Food was hot, quick and fresh. Hubby felt the basic starbird was equal to chick fila - he wouldn't get it again - nothing special. The starbird 2.0 was nice as it has a nice combo with avocado and slaw. We both liked the 2.0 and would recommend that. Dave hot chicken is slightly better better in our opinion. Bahn Mi fries were weird and not that great. Stay away from this hot mess of a combo lol We appreciate that there was quick/ affordable venue here. read more

Stopped by here with a friend on a mission to find a delicious fried chicken sandwich - we weren't disappointed! WHAT WE ORDERED: - Starbird 2.0: tri colored cabbage, pickled red onion and avocado was slathered in this sandwich. The chicken was nice and crispy and well-seasoned. If you're not into spicy, then this is the sandwich for you. - Nashville Hot Bird Sandwich: this was a mild heat fried chicken sandwich. You got spice on the finish, but I'm sure if you want something spicier, you can ask. They were heavy on the pickles, which I actually loved! It added some yummy tang and crunch. Again, the chicken was crunchy and seasoned. - Seoul Star Chicken Sandwich: I think this was my favorite sandwich! Fresh sliced cucumbers perfectly complimented this sandwich. It added an extra fresh element. I especially loved the toasted seasame seeds. It gave the sandwich a delicious nutty flavor. This was not a spicy sandwich and tasted a bit sweet, but balanced out with the other flavors. - Truffle Fries & Nashville Hot Fries: the truffle fries were standard, but definitely had a strong truffle and Parmesan presence, which is what you want. But the Nashville hot fries really hit the spot for me. Pimento and cheddar cheese was generously poured over the seasoned fries (I love that they still season the fries before adding the toppings). The green onion added that extra bite and fresh flavor. - chocolate chip cookie: fresh baked that morning, this cookie was chewy and a perfect finish to a meal. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed! The buns were buttery and soft, the chicken was crunchy and flavorful and everything overall was superb. WHAT WE DRANK: The sodas offered are local (Alameda) which I loved to see! If you like soda, do yourself a favor and get the cream soda!!! We also drank the new peach iced tea. I was worried it would taste too sweet, but it wasn't at all. It had a nice, light peach flavor. Service was 10/10. The establishment was clean and well kept. It's a great addition to the Corte Madera Town Center and I can't wait to return! read more

Their Nashville tenders have great flavor and it great that they come with slaw and fries!!

This time we tried out their new Cali Gold BBQ chicken sandwich and that was just as tasty as their other food items! See you next week! read more

Starbird Chicken expands it fried chicken franchise providing a welcome new addition to Corte Madera that is tasty and affordable. Starbird Chicken is a rapidly growing fast food chain that capitalizes on America's obsession with fried chicken. They have a variety of different fried chicken options, with their Nashville Hot Chicken being probably the most popular. Other spins include the sweet Thai glazed, which covers their tenders with a nice sweet savory sauce, and Baja loaded, which gives a more Mexican feel. If you are feeling like something more than just the chicken, they have several salad and sandwich options. For those who are looking for vegan options, they even have a plant based chicken option as well. After having tried a good amount of their menu now, I would say I am pretty impressed with the quality of the product. The Nashville Hot Chicken is pretty comparable to other places at a much more affordable price. Make sure to "Make It Blazin'" for that extra kick of heat especially for those who enjoy a little spice. My only concern would be the service which seems a little hectic, but this could be due to their just opening. However, everything is always to order and generally done within a timely manner. Parking is dependent on how busy Corte Madera Town Center is. Overall, Starbird Chicken provides solid fried chicken tenders that are tasty and worth checking out if you are in the Corte Madera area. read more

I have been waiting for this place to open and happened to pass by when they had "soft opened" though I didn't know what that meant. The owner of the place was there at the door greeting everyone as they slowly entered to not overcrowd indoors. I ordered a full order for my family as I would. So, I ordered: 1)The Hot Bird Sandwich ~for me~ wanting to try a kickin' good fried chicken sandwich.--Was not spicy at all, it was all right, I kept using my daughter's Ranch dressing for flavor & My Husband's Sesame Dressing~which is AMAZINGly delicious 2) The Katsu salad for my husband~ He is a Japaenes Katsu fan--This was an awesome salad~ hands down we will get this every time. The Fried Chicken was chopped and had Katsu Sauce on each bite, the salad with edamame was crisp and fresh but I just wish the Cucumbers were a bit more substantial than the paper thin slices. 3) The Chop Salad ~for my salad daughter--this salad was confusing, the flavors went in different directions~i bought it thinking it would be a chop salad and then was further committed to the details for it being like a tostada salad with Pepitas and Cotija. Pepitas were there, cotija cheese didn't stand out and the dressing was .....somehow not unifying this salad. Tortilla strip were there but~ can't explain it, the flavors didn't unite this salad that seems so Californian. Maybe a do over for next time, after I've tried the other salads AND maybe this salad should be with Grilled chicken in stead of the overwhelming fried chicken. 4) Classic chicken tenders for my other child which came with fries and a Kale Slaw.-- Everyone dove into the fries as what family doesn't? They were great. My kids actually split the salad and tenders and they would rather just have the tenders. (Teens) 5) 2 orders of Churros~ these were pretty plain, some had sugar on them and they were all right. There was syrup in the order and was not sure what they were for~ the un-sugared churros? Or the chicken?(an waffles play?) Again, this was a soft open and so as I was about to pay, they were like no it's a soft open, it's free. We are just in practice mode. Ahh wow! My dinner was free. How wonderful that was! The next day I had a lone tender that was left over with the uneaten Kale Slaw. THAT little combo was SO delicious COLD~I'd love that for lunch any day! Again, so many other things to try on that menu that I didn't even attempt. I think there is a balance in maybe NOT ordering everything fried. I am looking forward to trying all the salads! I def. recommend trying this place, I happen to LOVE fried Chicken but hate making it~if this is you this might be a good go to. Their little soda bar was so unique, NONE or the usual Giant Companies. There was a flavored sparkling water on there that was SO good, that I topped with Lemonade and the flavor had a Coconut undertone that was so different and refreshing. I usually don't order drinks but I would order one again! read more

The reviews weren't amazing but we did enjoy it. $11 a sando then and extra almost $6 to make it a meal... ouch! The kids meal at $7, okay good deal.

My wife had the Seol and it was good, no complaints! Overall it was good, but at that price point, it's just too much read more
