"This review is solely for the Chicken Katsu salad. I have never tried Starbird before but I have heard about it. I know they are well known for the fried chicken sandwiches, but while I was looking through the menu, their SALADS caught my eye. I particularly liked the looks of their Chicken Katsu salad, so I ordered through the kiosk and it was ready under 5 minutes. They have a nice outdoor seating area, so I took my tray outside. First off, the portion for this salad was HUGE. I was very surprised! Lots of fresh veggies and nicely chopped fried chicken. Let me start with the veggies: fresh lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, edamame, green onions, and red pickled daikon. All these ingredients make for the PERFECT Asian style salad. I particularly liked the tangy crunch from the red pickled daikon and the refreshing crisp from the cucumbers. The Creamy Ginger dressing was DELISH. It was slightly sweet and very creamy. The wonton strips added that extra crunch that I LOVE. Now the star of the dish: the chicken. It was PERFECTLY fried. It was crispy, the batter was flavorful, the chicken itself was juicy, I could go on and on. It went PERFECTLY with the salad and the dressing. And the katsu sauce drizzled on the chicken gave it that extra pop of flavor. If this is what their chicken is like for all their other dishes, I am very excited to try them! This might be my new addiction. I was so impressed with this salad. I'll try their other menu options, but I will for sure be coming back for this."

"My son asked me today whether this place (Bayberry was a brewery (no, restaurant (no?) or bar (no?). I had no answer, really, and it was a fair question. My wife proposed a dining room, but that neglected the beer. We never answered this question well. But I can tell you that; Bayberry Beer Hall offers a lot of craftsmanship beer from New York and North, at the entrance and in cans, many very nicely prepared sandwiches and entrees, and does this in a really cool room with indoor and outdoor seating. I really liked my spicy chicken sandwich. The riders were also excellent and the pickles were amazing. My wife loved her grass fed beef burgers, and my son was very happy with chicken dumplings. The sourdough pretzel we started with was perhaps a bit clear, but the mustard spread (might had butter in it? did it really worthwhile in the end. The beer selection was really impressive, and the bar staff seemed to know about it. We had a few samplers and were much happier with the samples they chose for us than with those we chose ourselves. What surprised me most was Bayberry's ice cream. There were only three flavors, and we tried the Golden Milk (for my wife and the Black Raspberry Chip (for me). I am not a fan of golden milk in general, with its tumeric and embarrassing taste, but my wife loved it. My raspberry, though, was one of the best fruit flavor ice creams I had, and I eat, and review, many ice creams. It had white chocolate chips in it as well as what seemed dark chocolate grass. Delicious. Bayberry is only open from 4:00 a.m. in the week, which means that lunch is not an option that is a shame, because I want to come back for another meal before we go south back home in a few days. It's a great place, and we'll be back next time we're going to visit this way."
