Starbird Chicken

I really like their chicken and the chicken salad but they do not have a dedicated fryer and fry their French fries with other things containing gluten so if you are sensitive to cross contamination do not get the fries. I have not had a reaction to the chicken.

This is one of my go to restaurants when I don't have time to cook! I LOVE that the chicken tenders and their house sauce. The fries are good too. I used to enjoy the coleslaw but they changed the dressing from sesame to orange, so I now get double fries. The salads are great too!

LOVE Starbird! I feel like they don’t advertise the gluten free part as much as they could. Great tenders and wings. Fries are safe as well. They’re always branching out with new flavors.

We read positive reviews, so we were optimistic… NOPE. I’m currently totally suffering, and started to suffer almost immediately after having the “chicken chop salad” . My daughter is symptom-free, and she had the french fries and chicken tenders. So I’m sure the problem was the cross contamination with the salad :((((

The food was great, the menu online identified certain things like the tender boxes has been gluten-free. The tablet in the store didn’t, so we were a little wary. The director of marketing Who confirmed that the classic Nashville hot and Kali loaded tender boxes are gluten-free, the Thai tinderbox is not due to the sauce. That they use separate fryers so even though they have churros on the menu those are done in a separate fryer from the chicken. He also said his brother has celiac and “enjoys their chicken quite often”. I provided them some feedback about some inconsistencies that caused doubt in the mind of a celiac, hopefully they’ll take some of the suggestions and make us feel more confident in eating their delicious food. I tried the Nashville hot taco on a corn tortilla, delicious. My celiac son had the chicken tender box and thought it was fantastic!

Apparently the fries DO NOT have a separate fryer from churros, only the chicken is Celiac Safe. :-(

First time eating here today, and I can’t wait to go back! The menu is specifically noted on GF items, and the employee at the register pulled out the allergen list from behind the counter so I could check on sauces and other menu items. Every fried item has its own dedicated fryer - one for fries, one for chicken tenders, and one for other items. I told the employee I was celiac, and they plated my food separate from my non-Celiac partner’s food.

It's gluten free fast food fried chicken... what's not to love??? I have always gotten it to go and items can very wildly from what you order, to what you get (salad ingredients)... but I have cracked the menu to work for me. I always ask them, with online ordering, to try to keep gluten free and have never been glutened... even when simultaneously ordering gluten items for other family members. LOVE this place!

So so happy. Their chicken is 15/10. Just absolutely delicious and perfectly crunchy. Almost impossible to Tell it’s gf. Fries are amazing. Customer service was great. Symptomatic celiac, no symptoms after eating. Only issue is that we were confused because we couldn’t tell if the entire place is GF or just some Items. The employee said he didn’t know. It was a bit stressful Because it was not too clear. But we stuck to the slaw. Fries. And chicken tenders Nashville hot and regular. Wanted to get the Thai wings but had no clarity if they are gf or not. Same w the salads. Kinda stressful but what we got was BOMB AF

Read their website. They say they are gluten free because they test their fryers and they have less than the required amount by FDA standards. This place is full of cross contamination. If you are GF do not believe their labeling.

This location opened recently. Lots of gluten free options clearly marked on the menu- we didn’t see them on the online ordering. The cashier was very knowledgeable and wasn’t afraid to offer to double check if she wasn’t sure. We got the 3 piece classic box- 3 incredibly crunchy chicken tenders (rice flour), fries, and a cold slaw with kale and carrots. You can get all fries or all slaw if you prefer. Comes with 2 dipping sauces- we got honey mustard and Greek yogurt ranch. They did accidentally give me a hoisin aioli- I didn’t risk it. I got the pineapple limeade and it was yummy-just enough tart- I usually just drink water or plain iced tea, so this was a treat! We watched them make a lettuce wrap sandwich- she wiped down the workspace and used romaine leaves- was a large sandwich. Receipt was marked gluten allergy. Im super new to all of this and very anxious to eat outside of my home. There’s a few deals- if you download their app- you can collect points. Or there’s a discount code through yelp. Parking was easy in garage. We were there about 2pm on a Thursday and the place was hoping! I can’t imagine what dinner time or the weekend will look like. Food took awhile to come out, so we had it to go. Will definitely be back!

Really really good! No, it’s not exactly the same but as someone quite new to GF (to still remember all the gluten goodness), I was rather impressed and would happily eat here even if I had a magic fix.

Very clear info on their menu and while they’re transparent about it not being a GF kitchen, that goes a long to having confidence for me. That most of their products are GF helps too.

I ordered the gluten-free chicken tenders and french fries and I was gluten. I asked the employee about cross contamination and he said I would be fine! I called when my symptoms started and they said the French fries are NO longer gluten free….
