Bland Tasteless and they can keep the 5 points AND the high 5- - does ANYONE hi5 anymore? all I wanted was a leg and a thigh - which I could get at Popeyes OR KFC any Tuesday for about $1.50 - just to try it. THESE PEOPLE made me take a wing and a spoonful of slaw as well- - for $13.05. THE NERVE! In fact it was so bland and tasteless (not to mention the breading too hard to bite into with no teeth - it hurt my gums) that the african american gentleman ( the only person of color I saw in the place) that rolled me in my wheelchair took 2 bites of the wing and tossed it as I did with the leg. The fate of the thigh and slaw are still unknown at least until I get really REALLY hungry. But on second thought, if "bland and tasteless" describes your style or personality - like the folks I saw when I was there for lunch this Saturday-, you might like it. I guess there really is no accounting for taste!

Which flavor of guilty pleasure would you like? Fried, flipped, or fake? Prop. Chicken is the reigning king of fried chicken in Hayes Valley. Careful, or you may also become a regular victim of the addiction known as the fried chicken sandwich. Then, as if a gut-punch in your willpower continues with garlic-thyme potato wedges. Some of us dont fully understand why matzo ball soup is on the menu, but all of us are grateful after tasting it. Veggie eaters, do not despair! Prop. Chicken has you covered. The fake chicken is the same gut-punch to willpower, just a different protein (crispy bbq tofu). The brown sugar brussels sprouts are so delicious, you will need to assuage your guilt by eating them first and calling them a side, not a dessert. Prop. Chicken is right on market, so avoid driving. Civic Center BART, Van Ness Muni, Uber, or flying monkey are all preferable to driving.

This place rocks. I ordered the gluten free fried chicken with salad and a side of fries. I highly recommend trying the sweet habanero sauce on your fried chicken. Its amazing. Just the right amount of sweet and spicy. They use dedicated friers for the gluten free fried chicken *and* the fries. Ive eaten here twice now and not had any issues whatsoever. Both the person taking my order and the server who brought me my food from the kitchen confirmed that it was gluten free. The second time I went in I met the owner and we had a good chat. He mentioned that when they were starting out they tried all kinds of different batters and he actually prefers the gluten free version. It was so good and it just happened to be gluten free. He mentioned having an old friend who grew up Celiac so he has some experience with folks who are gluten free. Wish we had it here in Portland!

Made the trek out here for lunch one day. Was expecting to get some good fried chicken but ended up going with a rotisserie chicken instead, which they refer to as flipped. I got the entree which came with a biscuit and coleslaw. Went white meat on this ballot and did I pick a good one. The breast was a good size with the wing attached. The skin was nice and crisp with a good flavor on it. The breast was so juicy and moist I had no regret watching my friend eat her fried chicken. The side of marinade the provide went so well with it, but of course it did! The fried chicken was decent, but the batter was almost too hard. The flavor was good tho. I definitely would come back here once in a while for chicken cravings. I must try the wings next time!

Man oh man. So Im staying across the street from this place at Travelodge for work and we (my coworker and I) were hungry. So we decided to walk and see what there was to eat around here. We went down market and saw nothing and then on the way back to our room we see this place. Let me tell you, one of the best damn rotisserie (they call it flipped) chicken sandwiches Ive ever had. The flavor was really good and it mixed really well with the coleslaw that was served on the sandwich. I also heard a lady behind me say this was her second time in two days there because the kale salad was amazing. Hopefully I will get a chance to come back due to busy work schedule so that I can order the salad with the flipped chicken. I can almost taste it now.

I love Proposition Chicken! Its a simple and great concept for a restaurant. You choose your type of chicken: fried, flipped (rotisserie), or fake (vegetarian). Then you choose what entree form you want it to take: sandwich, salad, plate. The sandwich is nice because of the slaw. Its crisp and refreshing. It has a good bite to it. The salad is good too, but has more earthy taste because it has kale, tomatoes, and a dry cheese. I would recommend the flipped or fake for the salad. Then, the plate comes with honey cornbread and slaw on the side. The herbed fries are really good too, but a tad oily.

This is a must try place for any food lover in general. The tacos were right on- real ingredients and cooking styles. The flavor on the meats were just spot on; the pork and kanye asada and the sweet steak were my favorite, even thought I never imagined liking anything with the word Kanye in it. I did feel the chicken was a bit dry, but could have been me. And, of course, the nachos were what drew our attention and did not disappoint. It is very different and familiar taste at the same time, but it just works. Definitely better that most of the other places around that have this type of food.

OMG, I am in heaven. Sitting here munching out on their Rosemary lemon brine chicken on a sandwich, with sage potato chips and slaw with a side of malted mayo ($10.75). Enough to take half with me for later. ... Ive boycotted chicken for years due to inhumane treatment and decline in quality of chicken almost everywhere. This place is now my go-to place for amazing range-free chicken prepared so many ways so Ill be back to try all.....and... cant wait to try their "fake" chicken (crispy BBQ tofu) !!! Pleasant staff and setting...clean... and great wheelchair access too!

This place really doesnt live up to the hype. Id walked past it a few times and was finally lured in by the hip aesthetics, hokey ballot ordering style, and my love of chicken wings. I have a hard time comparing west coast chicken wings to their east coast counterparts, but this place was bad by any standard - the $7 buffalo wings were seemingly plucked from a baby hummingbird and paired with a bleu cheese mousse which looked/tasted more like milky water with some chives thrown in. Definitely would not recommend.

Came here for lunch and ordered the dark fried chicken entree and it was pretty good and flavorful; the side sauce it came with was tasty too. The biscuit was good but wouldve been a lot better if it was hot. Coleslaw was not spicy- nothing to write home about. It was all a bit pricey at $12 compared to say Popeyes but the service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed it better than Memphis Minnies (the chicken was pink on two occasions) and on par with Firefly and The Beast & the Hares fried chicken.
