Starbird Chicken

My absolute favorite chicken ever!!! And the breading is gluten free flour. It satisfies my chicken tender craving every time. Watch out for the Thai sauce as it has gluten.

Everything is gluten free and tastes just same as regular breaded nuggets! Came here with my mom, who is not gluten free, and she said she enjoyed the food as well.

I cannot believe we found GF chicken nuggets that taste “normal”! Seems like only gluten is the sandwiches. The employee at our register was very knowledgeable and friendly. Assured us that they use a separate fryer for anything not gf. It’s not dedicated GF so considered Gluten-friendly I guess.

Love the Nashville hot chicken. Most of the sauces are gluten free. The staff didn't seem much knowledgeable about gluten, so I stick to just chicken and fries though they can do salads and soft tacos

The original chicken tenders and almost all the sauces are gluten free! The tenders, fries, coleslaw, honey mustard sauce, ranch sauce, and bbq sauce all came out gluten-free when tested with my Nima sensor.

The staff is not the most knowledgeable. They website says the wings are gluten-free but the staff said it wasn’t (not sure if that’s true or not). The tenders and fries are fried in a separate fryer. I’ve been back twice so far with no issues! I would definitely recommend.

I am so glad we discovered this place! We ended up going to 2 different locations in the San Francisco area during our vacation. GF chicken strips, including orange chicken, which my celiac daughter loved! I enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken strips and some of their chicken tacos (which come with either flour or corn tortillas). Please open up locations in Minnesota!

Lots of gf options - chicken strips and fries are delicious. It’s one of our go-to options for take out.

Amending my review because of some mixed messaging I just discovered. The GF on their menus and allergy list only means (the unhelpfully vague term) "gluten friendly" despite staff refering to it "gluten free"... Conversely, my server had also told me the fries contain 5% gluten... Head office now tells me they meant they contain 5 parts per millions in regular testing, well below the standard to be considered gluten free (20ppm), so they should be safe for celiacs after all. So staff not as knowledgeable as I first thought... Confusing!Proceed with caution! 🥴

My original review: Great variety of GF chicken options marked on menu - BUT despite the fries being marked GF on menu and allergy info, they are actually a cross contamination risk because they are fried in same fryer as gluten-containing churros. Always an annoyance that they mark such things as GF!! But helpful and knowledgeable staff... Like, surprisingly knowledgeable for a fast food chain.

This place is fantastic. Their chicken tenders are fried in a dedicated fryer and all their sauces are gluten-free. They fry their French fries in a shared fryer with churros. They regularly test the oil and say it’s at 4ppm gluten (the fda requirements for food you buy labeled gf is 20ppm so technically this could be safer than foods you regularly eat weird enough) but I ordered slaw just to be safe and because the tenders are huge. Get the Nashville hot ones.

I went to this location less than a month ago and had the chicken tenders and fries combo. I was assured it was all gluten free, and I did not get sick. I went today and was told that there is actually cross contamination for the fries, as they are fried in the same fryer as the churros. There seems to be confusion on what is actually safe, but would recommend double checking with the location before eating the fries. Bummer, but would still go back for the chicken tenders
