Fowl + Fare has great flavor and of course good chicken, but the wait for food was long and the fries are dry. Was also disappointed with the portion sizes in terms of chicken on the loaded fries.

I have never left a review for anything before but just had to after eating one of the sandwiches from Fowl + Fare. I tried the classic and lemon pepper and honestly couldn’t choose which was better. The both were super flavorful and the chicken was tender and just the right amount of crispy. I will definitely be returning!!

Hands down the best Fried Chicken in the Central Cali. Every aspect of the sandwich is made to be on a higher level than anywhere else. The food only get better as the chefs Creativity has time to develop the flavors even further. Since the location move the Citric hot has gotten more spicy, but still just as deliciously lemony and crunchy as it was before.

It’s our first time trying this. It’s actually one of the best chicken sandwich we ever had. Choose the spicy ones.

Will serves the best chicken sandwiches in Oakland/Alameda. If you get a chance to try the biscuit sandwiches, I highly recommend it

Was lucky enough to try the limited ramen chicken sandwich and was blown away. Great flavor and combination of ingredients (6 minute egg, black garlic, slaw, etc.). Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more composed chicken sandwich.

Absolutely Worth the Visit!
We had been eyeing Fowl and Fare for a while, and finally stopped in, and wow, we were not disappointed. Hands down, this was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I ordered the Black Garlic and my husband went with the Classic, and both were fantastic.
I’m usually really picky when it comes to sauces, and I never like coleslaw, but I decided to try the sandwich as it was intended. I'm so glad I did! The slaw actually added to the flavor without being overpowering, and surprisingly, it’s the only coleslaw I’ve ever liked. Even better, it didn’t make the sandwich soggy at all, which is usually my biggest complaint.
The homemade pickles were also a standout, super fresh.Every element of the sandwich felt thoughtful and well-executed.
We’ll definitely be back. This place is a gem!

Love it! Great addition to Alameda. We had the jerk and classic and fries. Loved the jerk, loved the classic. Skinny seasoned fries were delicious.
One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I have had. The owner is just so nice, and the fried chicken is the bomb. He uses chicken thighs, and he has the most amazing technique because it is crispy delicious on the outside and moist as hell inside. Dont skip the fries, you will regret it! Dont think about it, just go

Best specialty fried chicken sandwich I've had 🔥 the brioche bun was good and held together my massive birria beef and chicken sandwich somehow.$45 for 2 sandwiches and 1 drink
Only 2 picnic tables outside to sit at, no inside seating. Place seems to be run by 1 guy (and obviously it's bumpin cause the food is amazing) so don't expect fast service or a place to sit. Difficult to find parking as well
