Proposition Chicken on Lakeshore.. I never knew this place was here! I came to Oaktown to see the Kilbert O'Splatterhouser - Buster Keaton 10 round bout at the Avenues Gym & Ring and thought I'd get a light snack before going in, and what luck, Proposition Chicken is right there! About a dozen wings and some hot sauce are all I needed to make the day perfect! 5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

My only advice is if you’re gonna offer gluten-free fried chicken at least nuke it. Called fried chicken on top of the cold salad isn’t my idea of yummy. Just some advice.

I have Celiac Disease and I have to eat gluten free because of it. I ran across Proposition Chicken on an eat gluten free app and decided to try it. Almost everything on the menu can be ordered gluten free including the fried chicken. I was so excited to eat fried chicken again.

I ordered a gluten free fried chicken sandwich. It comes on gluten free bread and it was so delicious. I also switched the chips out for fries. The fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer, so there’s no risk of cross contamination.

If the fries happen to be served with mayo, do not eat the mayo if you have celiac or are gluten intolerant as the mayo served with the fries is malted mayo, so it contains gluten. The mayo they put on the sandwich is regular mayo.

The location, however, is small and there are limited places to sit to stay to eat. They were preparing a catering order and took up one of the three tables to do so. This meant having to sit at the bar style seats by the front window. This wouldn’t be bad if by yourself, but having others with you, makes it not as nice. The chairs they have are also only meant for really skinny people to be able to sit all the way back in as the curve of the seat back is not wide enough.

Overall, I am very happy with my visit and plan on returning when I’m in the area.

Great chicken sando with good kick, but the chips are actually inedible both times I've had the misfortune of having them as a side. Like fried cardboard, not even salted, and the fries aren't much better. A good side makes the meal and is usually about half the vibes so I had to take the 2 stars off, y'all do better on your potatoes, please. That shit is basically a sin against all potatoes. They're so bad. Management has to realize this, right? 5 stars if they ever get the sides right though because their pickup/takeout is easy and quick.

Chicken was not good, for a chicken place i was astounded at how bad both the tenders and wings were. Sauces are bland. Chicken is low quality. Why are the tenders such different colors? See photo. So disappointed, was a waste of money. Wings are tiny.

My wife and I come here bc she is able to have a fried Gluten Free chicken Sando which brings her so much joy! I love that they use meat that doesn't have hormones and it is juicy and crispy.
The last time we went, our server was super friendly and answered all of our questions. We ordered 2 Sando, one with gf bread. We also ordered the honey mustard wings (which were delicious), 2 root beers, and a 12oz of their ranch dressing.
We have not ordered to go here as I enjoy a fried chicken Sando crisp.
The place itself wasn't super busy for a Friday night which I loved, as we were able to order and get in and out. However, there were people coming in and out to grab their to go orders.
Definitely enjoy this place and want to order the meal next time.

On another visit I ordered the Entree Flipped and it came with a sweet buttermilk biscuit and a fresh tomato cucumber salad. YUM!
Both visits have been great!

Ordered 2 chicken salads to go and paid $5 each for extra chicken. Was so little chicken in them, it was really bad.
