FAVORITE SALAD IN SF I live super close to proposition chicken so I frequently come after exercising for a quick dinner. They are also in inKind which means you can get cashback if you pay through the app. The service here is always great! I recognize the workers and they are super friendly and helpful. My food always comes out fast and fresh. The restaurant has lots of interior seating as well as a few tables outside to sit at. Never had an issue with finding a seat. The space is also always clean. THE SALAD: I usually get the flipped/fried chicken salad. Something about the dressing elevates the salad above your normal chicken Caesar salad. The perfect balance of savoriness with a bit of tanginess. It's my favorite salad in the city and there's a reason why I keep ordering it again and again. PRO TIP: If ordering to go, ask for the salad to be tossed. THE CHICKEN: I've also tried the fried chicken sandwich, chicken strips, and the chicken wings. Everything was delicious. Nothing special, but done really well. If I feel like having a cheat meal, I'll usually order the fried chicken sandwich. EVERYTHING ELSE: their fries are decadent, bone broth is so hearty and flavorful, Brussels sprouts are amazing. Only food I wouldn't order again is the onion rings. The breading was a bit too thick. Felt like 80% breading 20% onion. Proposition chicken is in my regular rotation whenever I need a quick, filling meal. Highly recommend trying! read more

| March 13, 2026 | We came out here since it's close by and we wanted to grub before heading out to the east bay. There was no line and slightly busy inside and with pickup orders but we had no problem snagging a table. You can place your order on the screen or with the employee. After we placed our order we were given a secret prize game where we scratched off a free housemade magic bar that was delicious! _____________________________________ I got 3 Chicken Strips served with house sauce, celery and carrots for $12.54 My bf got the flipped chicken sandwich: slow-roasted rotisserie chicken, no antibiotics or added hormones, hearth-baked roll, mayo, spicy slaw and sage potato chips for $15.53 We shared an order of garlic thyme potato wedges for $5.40 and an order of onion rings for $7.50 that are definitely a favorite of ours. Crunchy bite and the onion is just in the bite and doesn't come out completely. Housemade magic bar: signature dessert bar with chocolate chips, shaved coconut, marshmallows and a buttery graham cracker crust read more

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

If I'm home alone and don't feel like cooking I order online, grab the fog, walk four blocks over, get my ready to go order, grab a couple extra habanero and eat a really good chicken sandwich in peace. The chips are very unsung. You don't need fries although they are good too. I use their habanero on everything! read more

I got the fried chicken sandwich which came with fresh crispy chips. Pic is half of the sandwich left over since it's good portion size. I didn't want to eat spicy, but the coleslaw is kind of spicy. I don't see any big pieces of jalapeños so I'm unable to pick it out. They should have a non spicy option for customers who are sensitive to jalapeños like me. However, it's still yummy especially the chips. read more

Amazing chicken place! I got the flipped chicken sandwich, which is moist rotisserie chicken seasoned well on buttery bread. Served with homemade chips that were delicious! Service was great, and they even have a little happy hour, Monday-Friday $5 beer, $5 onion rings, $7 wine and $7 chicken strips. Although I will say I've never seen a happy hour be that early 3-5pm. 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

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 bread sorta had a stale texture, but I won't blame them for that since I let it sit. The chicken had okay flavor and was accompanied by sauce and coleslaw. The potato wedges were still pretty good 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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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
