    Harold's Chicken
    Andi M.

    We stopped here for early lunch. Ordered 2-7 pc chicken wing dinners with mild sauce. Food was up in a matter of about 20-25 minutes. Presentation was totally inviting. Yummy hot golden wings / fries with just the right amount of sauce. (drenched) Wings were crunchy and juicy. The fries were perfect. Oh let's not leave out that hidden slice of bread that was at the bottom covered in that special Harold's secret sauce. Entire meal was chef's kiss of carry out. Simply delicious. I've heard that this is the best location. I tend to agree.

    Take out location, no dine in option.... the place got busy as soon as they opened. Order and wait for your food, take it back home or eat in your car. Chicken wings were ok, was bit over fried, the 2 pcs dinner was good and I liked the thigh better than the drums as it was better seasoned and more juicer then the drum. The interior was nothing special, walk in, order and wait for your order. I waited long time for my food, but guess what, the food was bagged and waiting, the staff kept telling me it wasn't ready, when it was ready, they need to fix this.

    I ordered through food delivery service so I can't give much on the ambiance, but the taste of the food was pretty good! They also got my order correct. Will definitely order from them again!

    Love the story! Been coming to this Harold's my whole life. I was so sad when they closed but so excited to see the success of the owner.

    Chicken is overrated and the sauce just isn't my cup of tea. Outside of the sauce the chicken lacks seasoning.

    I drive all the way from the suburbs for my liver/wing combo and it's always fresh, takes a lil long but it's definitely worth the wait.

    The chicken wings, fried hard with lemon pepper, a jalapeño pepper and mild sauce are great!

    The food is Horrible! The chicken was old and salty. The cooks appeared dirty. Their clothes were…read morenot neat and they weren't wearing hair net. It should have followed my initial thoughts to leave. I do not recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants decent food. I'll add that the quality of the food has declined drastically since its ownership changed. Don't waste your money like I did.

    I came here because tiktok named this Harold's number ine in Chicago and I just had to see because…read morethe one on 87th and state is the best to me. I got there and its your typical Harolds. Im standing at the window for like 5 minutes because I dont think the casjier could see me because the window is covered up with so many signs they can barely see outside. I think a car came thrue this building because they were missing a wall. Im not sure but anyway when I finally got to order my food, of course you have to try the chicken. So on thr plus side it was not busy and I received my takeout quick and sadly there was no place to sit and eat so i had to eat in my car.. Upon first glance, it looked delicious, everything was hot and fresh. Chicken was crispy and delicious. The fries was crispy and they even thru in an extra wing. I could have use a bit more mild sauce but it was not that drastic for me to complain. Taste wise it taste like every other harold... personally it comes into second place for me after 87 and state or tied... Either way I was not disappointed and neither would you

A few pieces of shrimp & two tenders. It comes with a biscuit, side & drink. The flounder filet is monstrous for just $6. There is an enourmous amount of spicy mayo on it as well which is totally unnecessary. Just spread a small amount of mayo with a butterknife...don't take a ladle & put the sauce on like it's a pizza. Nothing was bad, but the amount of mayo on the fish sandwich was off-putting. When you open the bag & there's sauce all in the bag, that's a problem.

    I ordered at this Popeyes on December 17 th 2024. I did an online order. It was about 5pm. I got to…read morethe restaurant to pick up my order about at about 5: 20pm. When i got up there, the door was locked. They were having some type of meeting and they " were" not letting customers in the restaurant. I , at that point , called them on the phone, and they Said they would bring the order to the door. I waited, outside in the cold , patiently. 10 or 15 minutes went by I was freezing, and finally i saw one of the workers taking another order out to that person's car. I flagged him in his way back - in, and notified him about my order, and in a few minutes he brought out. I felt like they treated me like a dog who was trying to get free chicken, after I paid my hard earned mone. Popeyes has horrible customer service and sometimes horrible chicken.

    I went here today at 12:15pm, the manager on duty was very unprofessional , rude, and ignorant. She…read moreslammed the window in my face because she got my order wrong. Don't go to this location, they're childish, rude, unprofessional, and won't give you the number to their corporate office.

    Chicken sandwich: Presentation - It could've been improved…read morethe first time I ordered it months ago. They fixed the presentation since then although the chicken breading is pale & soggy. There is a generous amount of chicken as well. Both buns are toasted and possibly buttered or at least brushed with oil. It still looks boring compared to other chicken sandwiches at restaurants that I've been to before. 3/5 Taste - The chicken itself is surprisingly tame. It's almost as if they use a completely different chicken recipe than the norm since there's seemingly no 11 herbs and spices here. Greasy & soggy. Just the right amount of mayo, but it does take over the entire sandwich as that's all you taste other than the hint of pickles. 3/5 Nashville hot tenders: Appearance: The size of KFC's "tenders" honestly scares me. I don't know what they're putting in these chickens to grow them this big. It's a meme at this point. One word can really describe this dish... messy. They literally come in a pool of oil. I had to pour it in the sink because it was so disgusting. I ended up pouring out 3/4 of a cup of oil. The tenders themselves are extra crispy and you can see the spice all over them. Once the oil is gone, they look great although they are extremely greasy so don't eat these if you're worried about getting your clothes dirty. For something to be advertised as spicy there isn't really a smell to them which is odd. 2/5 Taste - Can taste some spice, but not really hot. Sweet undertones. Slow mild burn in mouth. The slow burn moves down to your chest and can last for over 20 minutes. They are pretty decent in terms of taste and the chicken is will prepared, but the Nashville hot tenders just don't meet expectations. 3/5 Nashville hot chicken bowl: Presentation - I have to give credit when I restaurant manages to perfectly melt cheese and they did it here. The contrasting appearance of everything really makes it look fantastic. 5/5 Taste: I'm not a fan of Nashville hot... at least the way KFC makes it. In this particular item the Nashville hot is actually hot so it takes over the entire dish like a monsoon of spice. I usually like the bowls, but this one misses the mark. 3/5 Overall, this is an ok KFC. The food can be hit or miss & sometimes they mess up your order. When it hits, it REALLY hits, but most of the time it's just a middle of the road experience. The way they prepared the Nashville tenders was just plain unacceptable so hopefully they learn to not do that again as handing out cups of oil with every order is going to have the complaints racking up. I luckily haven't dealt with any attitudes or the horrendous customer service incidents other reviewers have described. 3 out of 5 stars
