Caesar's Chicken - Hayward

Atmosphere: 2 Unfortunately, the atmosphere at this restaurant was lacking. The decor was outdated and there was not much ambiance to speak of. It felt a bit dull and uninviting.

Who knew this chicken was that good. I passed by this place many times and finally decided to stop. Another one of my great ideas . Even the Coleslaw was great. This is my new chicken spot. Sorry, Krispy crunchy. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Recommended dishes: Cole Slaw, Fried Chicken

Beware going to this place on Fridays and Saturdays. On Fridays It’s a young Mexican girl with an attitude that slams your food orders when the food is ready and Saturday the food is terrible. They have young cooks that can’t cook. Food is fine on Sundays, Wednesday Thursday. Food: 1 Service: 1

Our go-to for great chicken! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

In 1989, Caesar's Chicken in Hayward played a life-saving role for my wife and 1-year-old daughter. Instead of taking the 880 freeway, they opted for Hesperian Blvd that night because I had a craving for Caesar's Chicken. This decision ended up sparing them from the collapsed Cypress freeway during the earthquake that claimed many lives. Recently, as my wife Tracy and I were driving home, I suggested getting takeout from Caesar's. It had been over 26 years since I had last been there, but the food was just as delicious as I remembered. I will always be grateful for that seemingly random request back in 1989, reminding me that tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
