Starbird Chicken - Corte Madera, California

Overall fairly high price for the quality of the food. Portion sizes were really good, however the taste of the food didn’t line up with the cost. As you just walk up when your number is called and they have automated ordering, the service can’t be commented on.

First time trying Starbird and fairly impressed by their food and atmosphere! Nashville Hot Tenders,if not too oily, would have been the best tenders I had so far! Fries were ok, star sauce was yum! By far contender for the best-fried chicken place in my list!

The chickens pretty good. Portion sizes are kinda below average for America. The sauces are fire. People at the counter are nice. There isn’t much love in the food but it tastes alright for the sandwiches.
I’ll go back.
Around dinner time the place was packed with kids running around. They forgot my sauces and I walked back from the car and they gave them to me without question.

I'm a sucker for Fried Chicken. It speaks to the Seoul of a Korean person lol.

With that being said My son and I actually stumbled upon this place by accident. We were actually looking to go to The Counter but they were permanently closed (Say Whaaaat?!).

Since it was our first time here our person behind the counter was very thorough explaining everything and asked if we wanted all the things on our order. He also followed up with us which is a nice touch. They lso h ave ordering kiosks if you want less human interface.

I like how they have an interesting twist on their menu. They have the right amount of selections to choose from. I was really tempted to try the Seoul Star or the Nashville Hot Chicken Sando but I'll save that for next time. I ended up getting the Cali Bacon and my son got the chicken wings. The Cali Bacon had the usual lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and a real interesting mayo with liquid smoke and a dash of sugar and pepper. It added a nice flavor profile to the sandwich. One cool feature of this place is that you can choose between the flats or drums when ordering wings. I thought that was kinda cool, especially for my son. He didn't care though lol. We both ordered fries but it was actually too much food and we wasted an order of fries. Had I known I would order just 1 fries as I really don't like wasting food.

They also had a few chick salads which looked amazing. Order neighbor next to us ordered one and she was looking like she was enjoying it. Again, a decent sized serving.

Their drink selection is pretty cool too. It's sourced from a local alameda based small batch beverage company. They had interesting soda flavors but I went straight for the Peach Iced Tea which is one of my favorites next to... Beer.

One of the things I really appreciated was the bright, clean atmosphere. They did a good job designing the interior with clean tile, bright to medium woodgrains and splashes of yellow in both signage and tile.

The last interesting point is the the bathrooms are external. It's right next door which isn't a big deal. This location is in an outdoor mall environment, hence the external bathroom.

Overall a great place and I'll definitely be back to check out the Korean style sando and a salad. Enjoy!

Love their Starbird 2.0 sandwich. I get a craving about once a week. They use buns which are a cut above the usual ‘hamburger’
style
Wish they would get their re-cycling cans straight. The green one is labeled “landfill”

January 20th, MLK Day at 10:43AM I go in to pickup my order and was treated poorly. Every other individual who picked their food up before me wasn't required to prove their order; it was just given. I was the only person of color picking up and order and the middle aged hispanic man made me have to prove my order by giving him my phone. Other people come after me and he doesn't follow that protocol because they're not people of color. He then provides me the wrong order and I correct him that isn't my food. He then speaks condescending to me that I didn't tell him its UBEREATS when he took my phone from me and read it himself. He starts doing tug of war with me over my food. That is a poor way to treat customers. Review the cameras and you can see it yourself with the time mark provided. That was uncalled for.

Chicken wing did not taste fresh. They tasted reheated. Will not order from this restaurant again. For $50.00 I got 20 reheated wings.

Ordered take out of a platter of chicken tenders. The chicken tenders 🍗 were very tender (pardon the pun). Seasoning was good if you like them peppery.

The chicken tenders are also a good size (see the photo). We also got some extras so that was a plus.

The platter also comes with various sauces of your choice. The "Star" sauce is like a tart mayo sauce.

Definitely delicious. We'll be back!
