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

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

That was some good food!!! I had the wings, salad and sandwich. As advertised they were crispy and delicious. The location is nice and the service was outstanding read more

Ordered chicken tenders for pickup several times during the past months. The tenders were always crisp and tender. Especially enjoyed them with Seoul Sauce and Truffle Aioli. Our orders were fulfilled promptly and service was friendly. The in store display for checking orders is convenient. 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

Was looking for a salad with chicken and I knew they used the tenders in the salad. Went with the sesame ramen salad and the parmesan truffle fries for a split between two. The salad was huge and very fresh. The fries were great as well. The order status board is helpful. 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

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

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

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

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

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. Food always tastes good, the restaurant is always clean, and the staff is always considerate. I wish I had pictures to post but we demolish our food as soon as we get it here. Lol read more

Starbird exceeded our expectations it was so delicious! The staff were so sweet and treated us so well. Not only that but it was clean and it was just a overall happy atmosphere. Also one of the staff Becky was truly very sweet and made us feel welcome. 10/10 would definitely try again!! read more

Great customer service and rewards program with reasonable prices to begin with. Food is always fresh and they greatly improved their fries which are much crispier now. Wings are great, tenders are very good too, variety of salads that are also a good option. read more

Same price, but only one side now, not 2. 'Shrinkology!' Guy who filled our to-go order screwed up on one condiment, the only one my fiancée likes. Ambiance OK. We've been frequent customers, but now: they're dead to us. 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. This wide open, roomy, and very emaculant facility offers up a extremely fresh and deliciously new flavor to the fast food scene in a genuinely tasty new category of its own. I always walk out of here with a smile. read more

So yummy!!! I love their chicken nuggets and starbird sauce! Their guava lemonade is also delicious.

I will preface that I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN!!! So I knew I would love Starbird. Ordering is easy. There are 2 kiosks as you enter and 2 registers where you can order in person. Doesn't matter which one you go to, your order will be added in the queue. Several sandwich choices, salad choices or nuggets. We ordered: - Big Star sandwich and fries: So crispy and not greasy. My son loved it. - Mandarin Orange Chicken salad: Huge salad. Next time I will order this without the orange glaze over the chicken. Way too many strong flavors. I almost needed rice. The dressing and the sauce were fighting over each other. Service is quick. The restaurant was clean. read more

Clean location, awesome friendly staff and delish food! Love the new Salad options, this time I had the Creamy Tzatziki Chop. Sooooo good! The romaine cabbage blend is perfect and my fave was the tasty flavorful creamy tzatziki tossed cucumbers. It paired so well with the crispy chicken, parsley, green onions and feta cheese. I'm not an olive or tomato fan so I modified without. Cheers! read more
