I regularly get the fried chicken salad here (or from other locations). It's great: the chicken is crispy and flavorful, the salad produce is fresh, and the dressing is very solid (and the salad is not over dressed). Recently, I found out they have Matzo Ball soup! I got it and was very pleased: the matzo ball is light and lightly fried, making it a crispy addition to the soup. The soup itself is good: one thing to note is that the use their stock chicken breast which has some of their seasoning on it. I didn't mind, but it does slightly adjust the soup flavor beyond your standard chicken noodle soup. But good amounts of chicken and carrots, and I like the dill. Also, it's cheaper than wise sons matzo ball soup (though wise sons does have noodles in their soup). Please note: I paid extra for the extra matzo ball. Standard comes with one) read more

They have a nice selection of drinks on hand. That's the only good thing I can find to say about this place. Value and service are out the door, also the proposition of cleanliness. I've eaten the sandwich a few times, basically acquiescing to the will of a child who likes the tenders. But no more.I cannot with a clear conscience support this place based on the way it makes me feel. It was okay in a jam, the convenience was the key. There is nothing about this place that makes it stand out, nothing above and beyond, it's average at best. Thought I'd provide an update. After my initial review, the business reached out and said they would contact me. I never thought that they would and they never did. I'm not surprised, the way the restaurant looks unkept, I wouldn't expect them to actually reach out, probably just want people to think they do. read more

Thanks for the food poisoning last night. The vomiting set in 8hr after I ate my gluten free fried chicken salad and some of the spicy slaw. It took another 8hr before I could keep any water down. I was supposed to take a trip to Big Sur today, which I had to cancel. Never again. ETA: I wish I'd looked at their most recent health score from October noting they failed to meet hot and cold holding temperature requirements. read more

We were looking for a spot for a quick dinner, our friend suggested we try Proposition Chicken. We've never been to any of their locations, so this would be a new experience. The interiors felt like a chain, but a little bit better in ambience. Though the lighting was a bit too dim to see what you're eating. You can choose from a: sandwich, salad, or entree then pick the type of chicken you'd like: fried, flipped, or fake. OUR PICKS: FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH ~ you get a roll, and cole slaw inside your sandwich and chips on the side. Something about the taste of this chicken didn't taste like it was homemade. It's like you know it's fast food or a chain restaurant. We didn't like all that slaw in the sandwich. You could barely taste the chicken because of it. It covered up the main star which was supposed to be the chicken. Though it gave it some moisture since the chicken was kind of dry. 3/5 FLIPPED SALAD ~ sliced rotisserie chicken in a salad. I asked for dressing on the side. The chicken was quite dry. It's breast meat. Not my favorite part of the chicken. I guess I should have gotten fried chicken instead but I wanted something that wasn't fried. Not a fan of the kale. I think it would have been better to have baby kale. And the romaine lettuce was barely there. 3/5 FRIED CHICKEN ENTREE ~ the fried chicken pieces were small. We got a thigh, breast, and drum. The batter was somewhat crispy but thin. The dark meat chicken was better than white meat. The sage chips were good, but the buttermilk biscuit was extremely dry! You can choke if you don't drink something with it. 3/5 I guess our experience wasn't too good. Most things were edible, just wasn't amazingly good or something we'd crave or come back for. read more

Tried this out as it's near my wife's work, The food is tasty, staff is friendly and the location is clean and spacious. We recently went back and also tried the fried chicken and breakfast sandwiches and so far everything has been really good. I heard they have another location in west portal so hopefully that's just as good! The Hababero hot sauce is nice, sweet and tangy and not too spicy! read more

Decided to come back to try their chicken wings. Unfortunately buffalo wings, nothing special but their fried chicken sandwich (star of the show) made up for it. Also the chips on the side was delicious and of course their potato wedges. Medium busy on a weekday after work, wish I knew they had a happy hour before 5 pm, I would've wanted to order a drink or more appetizers . read more

Proposition Chicken is a great place to stop for a casual meal. The food is made fresh and is genuinely delicious. Buffalo Wings (6.5/10): The buffalo sauce has a great tang and spice to it. I just wish the wings were crispier, as they honestly had almost no crisp at all. For a fried chicken spot, I expect more crunch. Fried Chicken Entrée (7.5/10): The fried chicken itself is very good: crispy, juicy, and made up of thick, satisfying pieces. Definitely top-tier fried chicken for the city. The sauce and side salad felt unnecessary and didn't add much to the meal. The biscuit leaned more cake-like since it was extremely sweet and not very buttery. Fried Chicken Sandwich (7/10): This felt like an upgraded version of Burger King's chicken sandwich, meant in the best way. The chicken portion is thick, and the sandwich is very simple, with just slaw. It was messy to eat but still a tasty, straightforward chicken sandwich. Overall, I'd recommend Proposition Chicken to anyone in the area. It's on the pricier side, and I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if I'm nearby and need to satisfy a fried chicken craving, I'd gladly stop by. read more

Got this togo and didn't get the chance to eat it until 30 minutes to 1 hour later, so I assume it wasn't at its best.

The potato wedges were still pretty good read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch break, it gave exactly what was needed. A juicy and flavorful chicken sandwich, crunchy battered onion rings, and it came out fairly quick. It wasn't too crowded in the middle of the day, but there was some business meeting going on in the back near our table which wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear during a work break. Overall the food was good, a little pricey but it IS San Francisco and better quality than fast food! read more

I stopped by Proposition Chicken on a Tuesday afternoon since I was in the area, and there were many people there enjoying a mid-day meal or snack. I was there for their Happy Hour, and so I tried their chicken strips. My order was ready within 5 minutes. While I got the strips to-go, my order was still perfectly crispy! The chicken was tender on the inside and freshly made. The breading had great texture and seasoning, and it was good with the dipping sauce. $7 for the chicken strip portion was worth it! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and gave a modern vibe. read more

Not Your Average Chicken Spot - Fried, Flipped & Fake Done Right! (3/5) Proposition Chicken isn't your typical fast-food chicken joint -- it's a cool, fast-casual spot with a creative twist. Their whole concept is "chicken three ways": Fried (crispy & classic) Flipped (slow-roasted & juicy) Fake (crispy BBQ tofu for the plant-based crew) You can choose your style -- sandwich, salad, or entrée -- and they even serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which is a nice touch. I went with the fried chicken sandwich, which was decent but not amazing. Then I tried one piece of fried chicken by itself, and that actually hit better -- crispy, seasoned perfectly, and way more flavorful. I'd go that route next time! The onion rings were (super crispy and different from your usual kind), and the house potato chips were a solid win. The bone broth surprised me -- warm, rich, and packed with herbs and real flavor. You can tell they take the time to do it right. The spot has a modern, quick-service vibe -- clean, upbeat, and pretty busy while we ate, but service stayed efficient. Big bonus: free parking in the back (a rare Bay Area perk) and they serve beer and wine . Tip: They've only got one restroom, and it could use some extra attention. It's a single-toilet setup that doesn't always stay clean during rush hours. A stand urinal would be a smart upgrade -- it'd definitely help keep things tidier and the floor dry. Overall, I'd give 3 solid stars -- not mind-blowing, but worth checking out if you're in Oakland or San Francisco. Something different, with healthier takes on chicken done right. read more

I ordered the Honey Mustard Wings -- 8.5/10. Each wing was evenly coated with sauce and had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The Chicken Tenders were a solid 9/10 -- super crunchy, juicy, and absolutely delightful. I also have to mention the Habanero Sauce, not too spicy, but it had this nice tingling sensation on my tongue that made it addicting. Overall, such a satisfying meal with great flavors and crispy textures. Will definitely be back! read more

Clean, quality, and good food! I tried the fried chicken salad and Arnold Palmer drink. The fried chicken is really crispy. It has the same texture as katsu. My favorite sauce for it was the habanero sauce. The salad was good, and the ingredients actually tasted real. Did not get the stale Sysco salad vibe, lol. The salad was filling too. I felt full but not gross after. I really like the way the restaurant is run, very efficient. Everyone there is helpful and pretty cheerful. read more

I had a craving for fried chicken so I decided to go to Proposition Chicken. I ordered the Fried Chicken entree that included a sweet buttermilk biscuit, tomato cucumber salad and added an order of potato wedges and extra sauces on the side. The food items were prepared very nicely with clean organized presentation. All items tasted delicious! The fried chicken pieces were warm, had a nice crunch on the outside as I bit into the fried skin, and tasted like it was freshly made. I loved and enjoyed the sweet buttermilk biscuit. The sweetness level was perfect and it had a soft texture on the inside as I was eating the biscuit. The staff members had great communication and were able to take care of all customers with efficiency as customers came in to pick up their orders and others to dine in. Each staff member had a role and all roles executed well to make sure everything was running smoothly to take care of customers and to make sure food was ready in a timely manner. The staff members were very nice and made it a great experience to eat in their beautiful restaurant. The food tasted great, service was excellent, and I would definitely come back for more goodies from Proposition Chicken. read more

LOVE the fried chicken salad - the dressing and mint pair so nicely with the crispy chicken pieces and greens. It hits the spot for me every time.

I love that the meal also comes with a biscuit and salad. It's a really well balanced meal read more

We had 2 fried chicken sandwiches, buffalo wings, & cole slaw. $51 total, including a tip. The wings were okay crisp, meager, but flavorful. The blue cheese sauce was thin, average I'd say. The chicken sandwiches had slaw. Lacked pickles, needed some acidity. Chicken was also okay crispy, thin batter. Honestly, it was average and lacked discernible taste. Likewise with the side slaw, which was the same slaw on the chicken. Bland is the word here, even seemingly unsalted. The side chops were pretty good. This place hits the spot if you're hungry. But I'm not going out of my way. I treasure fried chicken sandwiches and wings. This misses the mark for coming back. read more

One of our favorite chain restaurants that serves amazing food and offers great customer service. Love their flipped chicken salads, their chicken tenders are also tasty.

Let me start by saying I really like the food here. We often come when craving fried chicken. The restaurant is clean and the service staff is always friendly and helpful. We often visit for HH w our child after school. I crave the chicken tenders. The chicken sandwich is something I really enjoy but during my last two visits (within Nov- present), the chicken has become much smaller in portion size which has in turn served me a lot of friedness with little meat. I am hopeful this was just a bad luck situation and not a change in preparation. I will try again! read more

We stopped here while visiting SFU. I was immediately interested when I saw their ingredients were antibiotic free and no added hormones. The salads are made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was clean and gave off a very casual vibe. The cashier was friendly and welcomed our questions. This was our 1st time there, so we had a bunch. Everything on the menu looked delicious! I went with the salad and wings, while my husband opted for the chicken sandwich. Because everything is freshly made, it allowed us some tome to walk down the street and visit some of the other local businesses. When we returned, our food was waiting for us and we dove right in! Everything was delicious. The mint in my salad gave it such a refreshing flavor. The chicken was juicy, and packed so much flavor. Everything was great! We'll be back for sure. I'll make sure I take food pics next time. Haha! read more

Updating this review now that I've had breakfast and lunch here. This fried chicken breakfast sandwich was outstanding. Is it breakfast if it's fried chicken? The answer is yes because there is eggs and bacon. They do this sandwich between a pretty good croissant bun. That's a much underrated secret to sandwiches... try and elevate your bread. It's arguably the most overlooked part of any sandwich. This was good but the star of the show is this mango habanero hot sauce they have. This is a top tier hot sauce in the game. It would pair well with anything. (4.5 Stars) read more

Was really excited to try this spot but sad to say.. the chicken sandwiches were quite underwhelming with 2.5 stars at best. -Fried Chicken Sandwich - Horrible protein to bread ratio, the chicken was small and drier than the Sahara desert. -Flipped Chicken Sandwich - Same protein to bread ratio but chicken was a little juicer. -Garlic Thyme Potato Wedges - probably the best thing I ate this meal, pairs well with their habanero sauce. -Chips that came with the sandwiches were a hit, just the right amount of crunch and crisp.

I really like the ethos of this place! So often I find that casual dining goes to either extreme: Either super healthy but boring salads or really unhealthy fast food made with cheap ingredients. But now I know that there is a good in-between at Proposition Chicken: Delicious food that is a little indulgent but still REAL: Housemade ingredients and chicken that's both antibiotic and hormone-free (which you can order fried or slow-roasted). Their theme is cutely imbued throughout the decor of the restaurant, which is spacious with high ceilings. Even the organization and decor of their order prep station is well thought out. It's perfect for a casual breakfast, lunch, or dinner, all of which they serve here. It's conveniently located on a good shopping strip in Laurel Heights, so great to pop into while running errands. They have friendly staff, too! Their Fried Chicken Sandwich is fabulous. I liked pairing mine with the two hot sauce options and ketchup located in the front, next to the complimentary water station. The sandwich comes with tasty housemade potato chips that are tossed with sage crumbles (which I don't like, but you can easily move the sage aside). They have a good variety of side items and dessert that I will have to come back and try next time. Don't forget to sign up for their loyalty program and you'll get a free entrée on your next visit! They have a very large, clean single stall bathroom, which was playing Ellen DeGeneres standup comedy over the speakers. Very unexpected and entertaining in a bathroom, haha. There is windowfront stool seating, as well as many tables. As for the tables, I only wish that they were a little lower because I found them a bit higher than average so a little uncomfortable. read more

Great gluten-free fried chicken, the strips were crispy and not oily. The dipping sauces were flavorful and delicious. I did get the coleslaw as a side and was less impressed with this.

I would absolutely reorder the gluten-free fried chicken strips and try other things from their menu, I would not reorder the coleslaw. read more
