    Garlic Thyme Potato Wedges
    Barry B.

    Solid food, atmosphere, and excellent service. Salad with the fried tofu was solid- nice salad and tofu was tastier than it can sometimes be. Enjoyed the potato wedge fries as well.

    I stopped here to pick up something to go . So of course it was chicken I took the fried was not for me. Servers were quite fresh and pleasant. The place is decorated in a fun way with of course Chickens and nice bright welcoming colors.

    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.

    Fried chicken salad with hot sauce

    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!

    Fried Chicken Entree and Fried Chicken Sandwich

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] .

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Nihar P.

    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.

    Tried this out as it's near my wife's work, The food is tasty, staff is friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the location is clean and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Flipped chicken
    Serena L.

    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

    Chicken Strips
    Anh T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and gave a modern vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Not Your Average Chicken Spot - Fried, Flipped & Fake Done Right! (3/5) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Proposition Chicken isn't your typical fast-food chicken joint -- it's a cool, fast-casual spot with a creative twist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot has a modern, quick-service vibe -- clean, upbeat, and pretty busy while we ate, but service stayed efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Big bonus: free parking in the back (a rare Bay Area perk) and they serve beer and wine . [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Honey Mustard Wings
    Lily Z.

    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!

    My Fried Chicken Entre
    Stephanie C.

    I love coming here for my late lunch. Service is quick and staff is always helpful. Today having tofu for my meal along with the lemonade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is clean but there was a table that looked clean but it was hard to see the table was dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Found another table to have my lunch.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.
