    Breakfast chicken and egg sandwich
    Tony S.

    Super fast service and especially convenient before a flight. It was a better than most other chicken sandwiches.

    Fries with Starbird sauce

    First time trying Starbird before a flight out of SFO. Ordering is pretty straightforward on the kiosk. I got the Chicken Chop Salad and some fries. Both were pretty good. I didn't like the dressing as much so only used half of it. The fries were not bad, nothing special.

    I really enjoy starbird and I'm always so excited when I come to the city, cause I can get the best Nashville tenders outside of Nashville! Starbird is a typical chicken restaurant, serving several flavors of tenders, with different sauces to choose from. I love the fact that they serve French fries, because I am so tired of chicken places pairing tenders with waffle fries(it just rubs me the wrong way). It's an airport spot, so expect it to be expensive, but they do not go light on the amount of food you get. I'm usually able to starch mine to 2 or 3 meals. Make sure you eat the fries right away, as they aren't too good reheated, and ask for extra sauce (the cups are too tiny for the size of the tenders). Will definitely be back!

    After landed from a long flight from the East Coast, we decided to grab a quick bite before heading home. The chicken Cobb salad (extra spicy) was so good' I could tell they used some fresh quality ingredients in their salad. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. The service was quick as you can place an order yourself and they will call you name when your order is ready.

    My first time having starbirdchicken (my bf always rave about this spot) and it was pretty good! I was not coherent since we had a 7am flight (woke up at 3am!) and almost ate my bfs breakfast but we got the following: * Bacon Egg Cheese - Toasted bun, american cheese, over-easy egg, bacon for $10.95 * Loaded Breakfast Burrito - Flour tortilla, pimento cheese, crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs, American cheese, crispy chicken, bacon, green onions for $13.95 Food was really good and I would love to try it again at one of their stand alone locations.

    Delicious chicken tenders & fries at this Starbird location. I like the variety of food choices at the SFO airport. I ordered the 3 piece classic tenders with fries from the kiosk. Wait time was less than 5 minutes and the food came out piping hot! The order comes with two sauces of your choosing. The chicken is tasty, moist inside and nice and crunchy on the outside. There's limited seating at the storefront, but plenty of seating throughout the terminal to enjoy your food.

    The chicken strips here are absolutely amazing my next visit. I will definitely try one of the salads.

    As far as airport fare goes, this place was pretty decent! I got their classic sandwich, the starbird 2.0. It was pretty good! A tingly spicy kick from the sauce (?), slaw with shreds of kale felt very San Francisco, and mashed avocado that tasted a bit more like guacamole. I have to give a special shoutout to the man who was handing out the sandwiches when I visited, an older black man who greeted everyone with outstanding friendliness and cheer. He definitely brightened my day, and I hope he's getting noticed (and given a raise!!) by management.

    I grabbed some fries @ Starbird @ SFO while waiting for my flight. They were better than expected. Hot and crispy. And the "star sauce" was good, like a sweet ranch type thing. The ambience was SFO. Would def visit again.

    Restaurant in the SFO airport (San Francisco, CA), near gate B14. Quick and easy to-go chicken and actually tasted pretty decent, and decently priced for the area. They only serve chicken product like strips, salads and sandwiches, regular or spicy; we got the regular chicken strips and my picky husband even thought it was good. Seemed they had just cooked the chicken, and fries were good- I like them crispy, but B liked them not crispy. We got a 4 piece chicken strips and added extra 3 strips to share, and fries with extra sauce and came out to be about $25. Plenty of food for two. I enjoyed the star sauce and ranch too. They charge tax + employee benefits charge. Staff was quick and friendly with how busy it was. You order at a kiosk and pick up at the counter- pretty simple process. There is seating nearby to eat right away, or take it to your gate- I even saw a few bring it on the plane to enjoy. We actually went back and got the cookie ice cream sandwich for dessert and was two oatmeal cookies with ice cream covered in chocolate- it's an old San Francisco dessert recipe and was good. Lots of other desserts too- I wanted to try the strawberry crispy treat.

    Had to grab something to eat so I went with tater tots. It's not breakfast food but I was craving something potato and fried so why not? Self order kiosk and then waited for my order. There is some seating up front but I grabbed my tots and went back to my seat at the gate. Very brightly lit space. Service was fine.

    A small but mighty Chick-fil-A!…read more I come here about once a week and am very glad that there is one closer to me than having to drive to Redwood City or Daly City. Because it is located next to the Millbrae BART station, the area is more dense. I am used to that having been to non drive thru's in Manhattan and DTLA. All the employees and management are friendly and professional. It's nice that they are trying to build 'community' by having bingo events where you get some prizes. I have ordered on the app and at the counter and the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. It's all you would expect from a Chick-fil-A. My favorites are the chicken strips and the waffle fries and for breakfast I love the mini hash browns with a chicken biscuit sandwich. It's always clean and bright inside. Just be aware if you are driving there is no drive thru like I mention above. You can find parking in the garage. One of my favorite Chick-fil-A's and I can attest, I've been to many across the country.

    So maybe not the most spectacular place to eat but Chick-fil-a is a welcome addition to Millbrae's…read moredowntown center Now it's so much easier to get a chicken sandwich if you are craving one! I used the grand opening promotion which was a free sandwich to try out the breakfast chicken sandwich. I also tried the curbside pick-up because the parking lot requires you to walk around the building to actually get to the entrance. With curbside, the employees can use the back entrance to get you the order. The sandwich itself was as expected - satisfying. The employees are very nice as usual, and I'm happy to have a quality staple open nearby.

At times there can be limited choice, but that's the nature of Panda. Service is quick and portions are generous. They aren't the friendliest people but are never rude. I really value their efficiency. Seating is limited and primarily counter/bar seating. There are 3 larger tables outside that seat 6-8 people. Overall not ideal in person dining for a group or family. Totally fine for singles or couples.

There was no fresh stuff coming out so I ended up with some chow mein which tasted like it was days old and some broccoli beef, which was decent.

Disgusting I will never ever ever in 100 years ever go back to panda express to eat again it was the most horrific Thing to get raw chicken. I was like are you freaking kidding? the place was filthy absolutely filthy dirty. The girl did come out and start cleaning, but we had already been way more than halfway through our meal. They need to do a better job. I realize that they're busy but they got three or four cooks back there they got warmers and they should have those pots upfront full every one of them at all times There's just no exception no reason for it. You shouldn't have to wait 7 to 10 minutes at 4 o'clock, that's just about the dinner hour come on panda do better than that.
