Starbird appreciates teachers
Sherri W.

Despite Starbird being next to another chicken burger fast food restaurant, there are no shortages of customers & I can see why. They have a variety of options. The featured item was Chimichurri, so I Chimi most everything. The result was amazing & satisfying. Orders: Chimichurri Sandwich $10.97 the roasted garlic aioli, Chimichurri, pepita pepper shake, peppers & arugula was a beautiful medley of ingredients. The crunch, the freshness & satisfaction were all there in this sandwich. Chimi Chop Salad $13.77 the romaine, cabbage blend, arugula,Chimichurri marinated white beans, red peppers, pickled onions, pepita pepper shake, chopped parsley w/roasted garlic aioli is a mouth full to say, but Starbird didn't exclude any of it out. The portion size was excellent! I would reorder this again & hope they keep this as a regular menu item. Chimi Fries $7.47 this was a splurge for me but the portion size was understandable. Like the previous Chimi items, this was no less short of being amazing to my taste buds. The crispy fried goodness of the garlic aioli, Parmesan, chopped parsley & pepita pepper shake keep me going for more fries as I sat waiting in traffic. I can't wait to try more & next time an It's It Ice cream sandwich for $3.97 as well.

Starbird Chicken is my favorite chicken chain for wings, creative salads and their delicious chicken sandwiches. Starbird offers limited-time menu of international flavors from Indian, Thai and Japanese-inspired along with their latest offering chimichurri to their menu items. Their standard menu is consistently good but appreciate the change of unique flavors and sauces that gets me to try something new. Their Star sauce, truffle aioli, and roasted garlic aioli are amazing, and I'm definitely trying the chimichurri next! I do miss their earlier house-made pimento cheese, offered on their Free Range Ranch sandwich which included crispy chicken, bacon, tangy slaw, and that amazing pimento cheese. So bummed they removed it from their menu! Kiosk or counter service available for ordering. I use the app as it's easy to use and minimizes wait time. Location clean, service friendly and efficient. Parking is a bit cramped as shared with various surrounding businesses.

Review overdue. We finally tried this place out a few months back. Small parking lot. Place was full of customers. Practically every table taken. Ordered a Nashville hotbird, lemon garlic tenders, and fries. Ordered to go. Waited for a short bit. My son said his burger was pretty good. My tenders were by far the best I've had. Literally juicy and full of flavor. Most likely a favorite of mines. Top five for my craving for chicken.

We decided to give Starbird another try and this time it didn't disappoint. The customer service is awesome and the staff is very attentive. The restaurant has inside and outside seating and self ordering kiosks. The food ok I was skeptical but it was great chicken. We have been here a couple of times. My child surprisingly chose Starbird over their competitor. The tenders are better than the nuggets.

I've always heard about Starbird but never tried it until now, and it's definitely worth the hype. The portions are huge--especially the salads, which are easily enough for two people. Everything tasted fresh, and the chicken was perfectly crispy. They really load up the bowls and give a generous amount of dressing, which I appreciated. I tried a limited-time item this visit, but I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their salads.

Convenient location next right off the freeway. Lots of delicious choices. I tried the seasonal Chim churry chicken salad with both crispy chicken and chicken breast. Chicken was juicy and flavorful and definitely a very filling salad. Comes with all my favorites, chic peas, pickled onions/ peppers. Tenders were also delicious and crispy which is how i like them. Sauces are always delicious especially the greek yogurt ranch and star sauce. Order via app is very convenient and always on time almost too fast! Plus you get rewards. Second time here and 10 dollars off! Highly recommend.

Great and fast service. The food was delish! The place was pretty chill and nice/quiet! Will be back soon for more! Salads are yummy!

Have come here a couple times, and it has not disappointed! My order: 3 tenders with the truffle aioli sauce and star sauce, side of fries. Around $13 before tax and tip. My husband and I usually also share a drink. You can get out of there with 2 people for under $40, which is pretty great, with leftovers. Pros: - very easy ordering process using kiosk, easy to pay - EXTREMELY fast service. I felt like we barely sat down and our order was already ready - Loved the star sauce and truffle aioli sauce, and I liked that the tenders didn't have too much batter - Very clean location, self serve ketchup, lots of napkins available - Free parking lot, plenty of parking spaces - the soda is DELICIOUS, and we always make sure we refill our cup before we walk out Cons: - the non-classic tenders don't have a ton of flavor - my friend tried the sweet thai glazed, and it didn't really taste any different from the classic, just with like a pinch of extra sauce on it. So to me it's not worth the extra dollar Will 10/10 be back, love the sauces and the chicken

Store in Pleasanton.

I came here because it was close to where I was studying. I've been eyeing this new dish as an Indian hot chicken and I really wanted to try it. It looked so good online and I can just imagine how good would taste in person. I feel the same way about the fries. They looked very good online and I was looking forward to diving into them and having them. But the pictures were very deceptive. It tasted like chicken, with a sauce on it. Nothing special and the good thing is that they didn't charge more for the experience. The sad thing is that if I had eaten the regular or the hot chicken, they already have I would've been satisfied. At least that's what I think. The flavor was underwhelming and the aïoli that came with. It wasn't great either and I don't think it was because Something was wrong with the prep. I think you have more to do with the fact that I like Indian food and I've eaten a lot of Indian food in this food may have been inspired by Indian food, but did not have the depth of flavor and spiciness that I was looking for. So I was more disappointed than anything. Their regular aïoli have more flavor and contribute more to the dish than what they have. And don't let me get started on those fries! Disappointing doesn't even describe the experience. They were absolutely horrible now, I ordered some fries a while ago drove them home and they were so good. They were still hot. Ish crispy and wild. All the flavoring on them were kind of overdone. I wasn't disappointed. I drove 15 minutes with these fries and opened them up to find them waxy, cold, and absolutely nothing on top of it contributed to the experience of eating them. So, even though I've never been to the store before I would suggest sticking with the regular offerings to see how they stack up. I still do a lot of studying in the area and may go by, but it will not be a special treat and I won't go far out of my way to come here for this. But for the ambience, it was a starboard chicken. It was one of the bigger busier ones that I've seen, but the tables are clean and it was pretty nice. So the standards are there. I also got a cold soda, which was also pretty good. But to wrap up, I'd say stick to the basics and see how they stack up with what your experience is. That means regular fries and just two chicken tenders. No fancy flavors cause this place doesn't do that well.

Oct 2025 Clean location, easy ordering Nashville and the new Indian flavored sandwich was good Kids nuggets were a good size for the price Service was good and quick The Brussels spy could do with a little more crisp and Thai sauce :) We will be back !

i had this place last year while traveling . it was actually this location.. i was looking forward to eating there this year. the restaurant is super clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. i ordered lunch and food for my dinner later . the food is fresh and hot.. the flavors are amazing . the portions are large. i was full off just the sandwich.. the salads are enough for 2 people . also had a strawberry lemonade- it was fresh and not from a mix , it was wonderful

We had heard a lot about Starbird Chicken so we decided to stop here on our way home from the bay. Full disclosure, it was about 8 :00 p.m. on a Friday night so the parking was packed and although we were able to snag a spot across the street from the parking lot, through my open window I overheard a family verbally make a decision to go to Chili's instead because they could not find two parking spaces in the lot for their large family. Because of how busy it was, we decided once we were parked to go ahead and make an order for pickup. It was easy to do and the food was ready very quickly. We ordered the Japanese BBQ tender box with double fries and some crispy Thai brussels sprouts. The first thing I always grab everywhere is the fries. They were warm, but not hot, and they were soggy and bland. I would have been incredibly disappointed, but one of the sauces they gave us was a creamy chive flavored little thing and I have never had it before but it is delicious. It took the whole cup of sauce for me to be able to get the fries down. The fries were disappointing 1/5 but the sauce , 5/5 for sure! The brussel sprouts were ok. My husband liked them more than I did but even he commented that it tastes like something I can make quickly at home, and I do. Mine are more buttery and less sour, but they weren't particularly crispy and we both gave them 3/5. The chicken tenders on the other hand were large, juicy and cooked well. The parts that weren't drenched in sauce were also crispy and tasty. Unfortunately the Japanese barbecue sauce they use here is not for us. It's far too sour and there was so much liquid in the bottom of the box with our tenders that they got very soggy. Ultimately I can't give them more than 3/5. Overall, this was an okay experience and because the service was good, I would definitely be willing to come back to Starbird again but I would choose different flavors, try and stop by when they aren't super busy, and ask for a lot more of that creamy chive sauce!

Just picked up a salad, chicken nuggets, and brussel sprouts last night after a busy day... Online ordering via their app was very convenient and easy. My food was ready by the time given and the brussel sprouts this time were less greasy. Restaurant was clean and parking was plentiful. I enjoy the variety of items they offer.

One word : Delicious…read more 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.

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

Honest review: pretty good! Compared to all the hot chicken places popping up these days, Angry…read moreChickz is on par with Dave's in my opinion, but might I say: it could be even better than Dave's. Stopped in for a quick bite before heading up to the city to catch a Warriors game, and there were a handful of people dining in. This location took over the old Pieology, and there was plenty of seating. I really liked the Fremont-centered decor on the walls; that's one way to connect with the local community! Given it was an early dinner, the two of us shared a #1 which consisted of 2 sliders and fries, and we tacked on an additional side of Mac and cheese to try it out. Chicken was meaty, not too dry, and well-seasoned without overdoing it. The Mac was also pretty good, and the fries were also seasoned, but nothing too special. The food took longer than I expected to be prepared, but we were kind of pressed for time so on a regular day it wouldn't have been too big a deal.

Talk about poor customer service…read more Came in at around 2pm to pick up my order and some guy zipped right past me in front of the register while I was clearly waiting and the Indian/fijian young girl ignored me completely to talk to him about paying for sauce for a couple minutes to eventually give him one saying "this time I'll give it to you for free" just like other bad reviews below lol.. instead of addressing me as I was first and was literally waiting. I show her my order and she reaches over and grabs it confused, holds it while she has a conversation with her co worker and then just slides it across the table without saying a single word. If you don't like your job just quit. Food was mediocre this time and I don't think I'll be visiting this location again. Go to their other locations elsewhere.

Clearly you can see which food item was wrong. The angry fries was the only (medium) bowl.
