About this business

Editorial fromThe name is a little silly---for one thing, Sonoma's not exactly known for its chickens these days---but we like the concept just fine. It's quick-service dining for the Chardonnay-and-vinaigrette set. The signature rotisserie chicken is…

Good but not great – I have been here twice for lunch. It gets busy during the luch hour because of their location. The service is ok, and the salads are good. The first time I ordered the chicken, I thought it was very good. However, the last time I ordered the same chicken dish, it was a bit greasy & did not taste the same. I may go there again a 3rd time just to make sure.

Yeah, not so much – I really wanted to love this place. I had been promising myself to try it out for the last two years. Now, I wish that I had not gone. I have been 3 times as I think it is unfair to judge a place on one visit or one dish. The salads are fresh and really good, but the chicken is just plain greasy and there is some sort of 'spice' or 'herb' that leaves an 'off' taste in our mouths. If you work near a SCC, it is a great place to grab a light salad lunch. But, I would not go out of my way to get there nor do ... read more

Poor quality – I agree with the last reviewer. The quality of the food just was not up to par. The portions were large, while the flavor was forgettable. While the place is not expensive, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

Terrible – This place is absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Prices are outrageous for what you're getting; they basically charge you sit-down restaurant prices for fast-food quality. I had heard mixed reviews so my wife & I decided to try it out... that was a mistake. WAY over-rated and over-priced. Stay away.

Check it out. – Can't beat this place for value. Sonoma Chicken Coop lives up to its claim to fame: quality, inexpensive food. The menu has a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, pastas, you name it. I've been here a handful of times for that very reason, there is always something for all. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. For the nights there are heated lamps and The live band is definitely a nice touch. If you're a pizza lover I highly recommend the bbq chicken pizza.

glorified cateferia food – for what you pay, i would rather go and get a burrito then eat here again. even when my boyfriends company christmas party was held here and it was all paid for, i groaned at the thought of eating here once more. dont get me wrong, i really did try and wanted to like it so bad! i tried the salad, the chicken, and the calamari. and the calamari made me sick! if you're a true foody, love great food, then dont go here. we live in the bay area and we are so lucky to have so many amazing GREAT restauran... read more

OUTSTANDING! THEY HAVE LOWERED THEIR PRICES!!! – I've been a long time fan of Sonoma Chicken Coop, both the San Jose and Campbell locations and now the newly completed Almaden location. I've watched this small family run operation grow from the "quiet" (at night) downtown eatery to astonishingly impressive force that it is today. What impresses me the most about this operation is that they have managed to maintain the absolute utmost quality with their unprecedented growth. Yeah of course, I've had the occasional mistake at ... read more

E Coli Anyone? – This restaurant chain is so bad! There is a reason why the food is so cheap. If you don't have taste buds and enjoy getting sick then this is the place for you. Unfortunately I have had to eat here and the Campbell location and they are both horrible. Only eat here if you need to lose weight fast and aren't lucky enough to catch a stomach flu.

Great Food... FOR YOUR DOG! – Based on the recommendations we decided to try this place. We were hugely disappointed. The food was very greasy, but don't get me wrong I enjoy to splurge every once in a while, but if I do it should at the very least taste good. I ordered the ribs and my husband had the steak. The ribs were NOT good at all flavorless and skimpy on the meat, but don't get me wrong, I did have a pile of bones to "enjoy", but not much meat and it was pretty tough. The steak my husband ordered was rubber. The bill... read more
