What People Feel
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great food that came out quickly. Staff was very attentive and fixed the fountain drink machine quickly when one of the drinks was out. Would highly recommend for anyone getting their chicken sandwich fix. The Nashville chicken sandwich is my consistent go to order."
"You have to try the Japanese BBQ Bird and the Tokyo Sesame Crunch. The flavors are authentic and the execution is spot on. It’s great to see Starbird experimenting with these Japanese-inspired flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something unique and delicious! 5 stars."
"Super quick service, and everything came out perfectly. The restaurant was so clean and nice! Love the online ordering system, and that you can order just a single tender. That’s such a great idea. All the sauces are so good, my favorite it the truffle aioli!!"
"Starbird is what happens when fast-food meets Silicon Valley and nature / local forward vibes. It's bright and yellow, almost giving a kindergarten vibes. And then you feel the premiumness of Shake Shack, but again, much more spaced and modern. Mix in a bit of Californian sunshine vibes. And yes, premium chicken. The chicken is definitely not your KFC greasy energy. This is seen from a completely different perspective. The entire experience makes you feel positive. The food is great but not mind blowing. And they definitely take some Asian inspirations like the okonomiyaki fries. Soda fountain features local beverage makers. And again, it feels clean and modern. The price is definitely a bit higher but again, this is a different type of fast-food dare I say. Absolutely try it out and would love to see Starbird expand beyond California."
"Solid choice if you like chicken-based meals. Fries and salads are also very good, and if you like spicy, definitely try the Nashville style chicken. Clean interior with friendly service, but the lines can get long during meal hours so plan ahead! Decent sized parking lot."
"Surprisingly good. Went for the Nashville style spicy chicken burger and it did not disappoint. Crispy and spicy on the outside with tender chicken on the inside. Enjoyed the soft and sweeter buns that are used. The drinks bar serves a curated original drinks lineup which was nice."
"Best in class as far as fast food goes. Delicious chicken sandwiches, interesting options for sides, sauces, bev, and desserts. Place was also clean and well run."
"Best kept secret...didn't find this Gem till today thanks to my boss. Best chicken wings in the Bay Area hands down. Love the wings and different options available. I got the Garlic Parmesan bone in with blue cheese dip. Didn't need the dip they tasted amazing just as is. Got a lemonade it was super refreshing. Will come back and try the salads and the other wing flavors"
