Starbird Chicken is awesome! Their crispy wings are super flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the chicken sandwich is juicy with great seasoning. The staff is friendly, fast, and welcoming every time I visit. Always a great experience — definitely recommend supporting this business!

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.

My fiance loves this place. Their chicken sandwiches are flavorful and juicy. The chicken wings are light, airy, and not greasy. If you are in the area stop by and give them a try.

OMG!!! A must for great chicken. Our 1st time here was today and they were doing an opening training. WOW.... fantastic food and service. We ordered a garden bird (vegetable protein) combo with French fries, a Nashville combo with cole slaw for dine in. After eating our wonderful combo meals we wanted to purchase a family meal to go....well, since it was a opening training day they wouldn't accept payments so we left a $40 tip. This is a much needed restaurant with quality eats and positively based staff. Highly recommend. We will be back once they are open and training is over.

Went here on a recommendation and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the Nashville Hot sandwich and regular fries, I got a water but kind of regretted it because the fountain had cream soda (which I’m personally a big fan of). The flavor wasn’t as hot as I would have preferred but it was tasty and paired well with the sauce, pickles and lettuce that came on the sandwich. Chicken itself was perfect! Juicy, tender, and crispy; just the way a chicken sandwich should be. Fries were hot, crispy, and lightly salted and they give a good portion. I noticed that the menu had a plant based chicken option also which I find very thoughtful and wonderful that other dietary preferences are considered at this shop. Great experience 10/10 would come again!

New chicken place. Everything we had was delicious. They did a good job of taking off items on sandwiches for dietary needs. A little pricy but its a good step above fast food. Their in house aioli was rad and their lemonade was solid. Nashville hot sandwich was amazing. Korean was also tasty. Fries were good, slaw was tasty. Had kale and not a wet slaw, more depth. Will return. Has both good indoor and outdoor setting. Their ready now wall was a good touch for knowing when food was ready. Adrian did a phenomenal job. Good on them for helping us do our order and get us extra cups.

Delicious and cheap for the amount of food given. Loved they had a document about the ppm for celiacs!! Haven't gotten sick once, very happy they are gluten free. They also prepare the food pretty fast, sometimes within a few minutes of ordering depending on the day. Unfortunately whenever we order take out, they put the cole slaw in with the chicken box and it makes it very warm :( which is kinda of gross, so I usually don't eat it when we have takeout.

Excellent, very crunchy chicken stick in a great sauce for $2.75, for $4.75 I got the loaded fries as in photo. Fries should be crunchy. Outside tables as well as inside.

I love this place. I hate the layout. Never enough seats. Homeless always coming in to grab drinks since no one can see the counter. Food is great an the staff are awesome. However always expect a wait since there’s always a million dashers insider. Which use the disabled parking spaces. We sat for 45 mins an watched 5 cars park to run in to grab food.

Starbird Chicken has very good fried chicken. The Nashville Hot is good and the fries are cooked well and not too salty. Their cream soda is also great. A good tip to save money is to buy the kids meal. One less tender, but comes with fried and a small drink. It still fills me up. Also are the replies automated?

Starbird is super fresh, the sauces are unique and authentic and there are always unique flavor combinations for their fried chicken. The salads have all the best toppings. Each topping component has it's own seasoning and flavor wow for their salads and the portions of toppings are well balanced with the LARGE portion of fresh salad greens they give you. Their Fountain Soda's are very tasty and unique, not for retail and are local to the area.

This was me and my families first time here. I have to say I loved the customer service I received. We dined in, and it was clean. My children loved the food here. I'm a very picky person when it comes to chicken, so it was ok to me. But, if you're a chicken lover, this is the place for you.

I love this place. They have so many options; the food is a hit every time. The menu is always changing, but I love one specific chicken tender that had been taken off the menu. You guys need to bring it back.

Staff are always friendly and helpful. The orders come out quickly and accurately. I love their base recipe (much better than another, similar-type chain that's closed on Sundays), but I also love trying their new flavors, too!

I came here and I love this place because they have very very good chicken. The super bonus is that the chicken tenders and nuggets are gluten-free so I can eat them! They also have wonderful sauces and I have liked each and every one of them. This is definitely a good thing! They also have huge salad, which taste great. I do stay away from the specials because I’m not like them as much as a regular. Their fries are also wonderful and very, very good! I also like their sodas If you have the app, use that order that you get your points. When I try to upload things to the app after I buy them, I’ve had some issues and so I don’t have all the points I should have. But that’s a small thing compared to the food that I get there.

My daughter and I had tickets to see Ghost at the Concord Pavilion and figured that was a perfect time to try Starbird Chicken for the first time. Funny enough, nearly a dozen other rockers felt the same way so Starbird Chicken looked liked a Goth/Metal hangout for around an hour while we were there. The sandwiches were great, the fries were not and the place feels a little sterile, and just like every other fast food place. Nevertheless, the sandwiches were good enough to warrant a return trip at some point so I’ll be back eventually. 🤘 Michael Delehanty Real Estate

The family loved the chicken sandwiches and the tenders fries were good. Even the garden chicken sandwich the wife loved it so much she ate the whole sandwich. Tried the star sauce, bbq sauce and the ranch sauce. All the sauces were good. Tried the garlic parmesan chicken wings i liked that you could order all flats or all drums but i will not order those again. And afterwards we tried the churros for dessert. The drink selection was good lemonade, pineapple lemonade, tea and chai tea also a variety of sodas to choose from.

Chicken was moist. However their Nashville hot was not hot. Great flavor though I was just expecting a little more heat/kick to the spice. Portions were filling. Took our food to go. Wait time was not bad, came in on a Saturday right at noon. Will come back and try the other options. Mainly the tacos.

I came in as I was in the area. I wanted to try their wings. Opted for the sweet Thai sauce. It didn't take long. [Dine-in] Also ordered all drums which is nice they do that option. For $1 more. The wings came in a box they looked nice. They gave off a weird smell though... almost as if something was going bad... so not a good start. Tried them anyways. The sauce is missing something... It was just sweet and a bit sour. So hopefully they work on that. I had a good variation of Thai sauces but this needs work.
