Our Story
How Starbird Was Born
Starbird chicken began in Foster City, California, with one unyielding conviction: that fast food could be genuinely good. Not just good enough — but truly, thoughtfully good. Our founders were tired of compromise and decided to change the game for starbird chicken lovers across the Bay Area and beyond.
"We believe a great starbird chicken sandwich starts long before the kitchen — it starts at the farm, with animals raised right and ingredients sourced with integrity."
From day one, we committed to antibiotic-free chicken, house-made sauces, and scratch-cooked recipes that honor real flavor. We partnered with local farms, invested in our team, and built a culture where quality is never optional.
Today, Starbird serves thousands of guests every week in the Bay Area — and we're just getting started. Every starbird chicken meal we make carries the same passion we brought to our very first order.
