Starbird 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!

BEST GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN EVER! I frequent this location because the quality of the food is so amazing. The chicken is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I always get the chicken strips and fries. (skip the slaw, it’s gf just gross haha) Their sauces are also all gluten free - the star sauce and ranch are my favorites! I never get sick and that’s a miracle considering how tasty this chicken is. Ooh and try the prickly pear limeade! Add this to your list of places to try, you certainly won’t regret it!

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.

Super crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside. All the employees were so friendly and helpful. The chicken is in its own fryer. Fries are not celiac safe as they are fried in the same one as their churros. The slaw is yummy and has a little sweetness to it. As long as I stay feeling good, I would definitely come back again.
