OK, I come here all the time. However, y'all made me mad this time.. Why my food is normally a 8 out of 10. This time I'm gonna give it a 5 out of 10 because it was extremely salty not only that we asked for extra mild sauce and we barely got any. I legit spend a good amount of dollars here and I'm not gonna lie. It has declined the past couple times. Customer service is always cool though read more

Harolds Shrimp & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

Everything was hot and fresh, but for the price versus quantity, I think there are other places that you can choose from to get a good fried fish basket much less for the amount of time it took for us to get the food. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like we were a priority to the staff because our party wasn't too big. It really just took us so long to order because we weren't sure if we were supposed to go up to the counter and order or sit down and wait for staff and then it took forever for us to get seated from the staff and then they only came to store table to take the order and bring us the food. I think it was an okay experience but not sure if I would go back. read more

I've ordered through DoorDash 5-6 times and been to this location one time. The service is pretty quick and they cook your food hot and fresh. I like the inside of this restaurant, it's pretty spacious & cozy. It's well put together with some nice art work. There's a bar area for you to order some drinks. What I find when ordering from this place is inconsistency. Sometimes my chicken is cooked too much which makes it dry, but for the most part it's very good. Good crunch on the outside and they aren't missing any seasoning on the meat itself. Same thing goes for the fried catfish. I'm not a fan of them cutting the fish too thin. So when I'm bitting into it all I get is the batter. Last time I ordered through them, the fish came out just right. Nice coating with lots of seasoning and the fish itself was thicker and cooked to perfection. What I'm not a fan of is them not making their tartar sauce in-house but if you're giving something from the bottle I guess Krafts tartar sauce ain't that bad. The French fries are nothing to write home about but it's good enough. It's just your basic crinkle fries. Overall, the service was good. The food is solid (for the most part) & they have a special on Wednesday. You can ordered their 4 or 6 pieces of wings with fries for a cheaper price. Will I come back? Yup. read more

Harolds Shrimp & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

I hate to speak bad however if u advertise as being from Chicago then I expect authentic ingredients... this was regular chicken the sauce wasn't even the same...it wasn't good at all ... that's why nobody was in there ... just saying... .. my biggest complaint is it was just regular hot saucuhe not Harolds sauce. if I spend this kinda money I want the real deal... do better! If it was good I'd be there at least once a week I could get some better chicken on my side of town read more

If you're in the mood for some good ole fried catfish or fried wings like I will go to southern grandma would make them. This is the place. I was in the Westchase area and craving fried catfish but I wanted it seasoned well. A lot of these places like twin crabs don't season the breading making the fish taste like nothing. Harolds however got it on lock. The fish is fried perfectly and seasoned deliciously so is the french fries and chicken wings. I came in on a Monday. It was barely packed and I placed the order to go. This place also has a bar if you're into drinking, I would definitely come back here to get more food and possibly a drink. The staff were very nice and attentive and brought my food out quickly. read more

Every time I come here, the chicken and shrimp are delicious. The wings and shrimp are a great size, but the coleslaw portion is pretty small (like sample size small really itty bitty). I'm not a big fan of coleslaw anyway, so I usually substitute it for extra fries. The service is cool, and the food is cooked to order, so it's always hot and fresh. The mild sauce is really good too I like to get it on the side. The red Kool-Aid is good, and they also have a full bar if you're looking for something stronger. read more

The chicken and fish were absolutely fresh and delicious. I don't really like fried fish because so many places either use too much or not enough seasoning, but Harold's prepared just right for my picky fast buds. Service was also amazing. I arrived towards the end of the night but the server / manager and the bartender served me and explained the menu as if it was during their lunch shift. And many of us know going to a restaurant when they're about to close cause sometimes be stressful for both the staff and the patron. So it was good to be able to experience the menu, but not add any extra stress onto the staff to prepare the food. About the ambience, because I arrived when they're preparing to close I didn't get a chance to really see what the restaurant is like at the peak of the day. I can say that there were multiple tables for dining, bar seating if you're interested in that, and even a little area for dancing if there's ever a DJ present. I'll be visiting again read more

Harolds Shrimp & Chicken - Six piece chicken and double fries with hot sauce on top - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

I gave 3 stars after ordering the small chicken and shrimp dinner in mild. I would go back to get more chicken and to try the fish next time! Mild chicken-Delicious but can get messy so have plenty of napkins on hand. Ranch- doesn't come with meal so they charge $.80. The chicken is good without it though. Shrimp- was ok and very large Fries- nothing special, just a filler. Bread-ok, an added filler Coleslaw-store bought, nothing special. Water- tap water and has a strange taste so get the bottle water if you can. read more

Decent chicken. Ordered 2 four piece dark and a side of fries with the sauce on the side. Im not a person who eats ketchup on chicken. I think the concept is strange or maybe just a chicago thing. No complaints fries were nicely seasoned crinkle cut. The chicken could have used more spice. read more

Pretty good! Good portion size, with the except the coleslaw, and well seasoned. Not mind blowing but worth it if you're in the area. The shrimp was nice and crispy and the wings were good. Service was good but slightly slow to get our initial order taken. The restaurant is spacious and equipped with a bar. read more

Harolds Shrimp & Chicken - Shrimp and wing combo with coleslaw - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

Visited while in Houston! Love that they had a bar and a great drink menu. Had the strawberry Obamarita and it was refreshing. Service was good also, we came in right before it got busy. I ordered the Wing and shrimp combo with fries, an order of gizzards and mozzarella sticks. Listen the wings and gizzards were FIRE! Especially with the mild sauce and lemon pepper dust. The mozzarella and shrimp were big and just ok in my opinion. I would definitely go back! The ambience is real laid back and the food is great! read more

I ordered the shrimp and chicken big combo. With a side of coleslaw. The chicken and shrimp were wonderful. Coleslaw was terrible and the tartar sauce was in a little packet. Harold, please make your own coleslaw and make your own tartar sauce. It would take your dishes up another level. That coleslaw taste like it came from a tub at Kroger's. But I will go back for the shrimp and the chicken. read more

Harolds Shrimp & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came for a visit with an old friend who once lived in Chicago, and she swears by Harolds chicken wings. Yall know I had to come check it out! This place is fairly new and definitely looks like it! There is an awesome mural on the wall when first entering. Cool looking place for sure. We came in on time for their happy hour margaritas for $5. I ordered their peach margarita. Mediocre.. nothing special. I did like the fact it wasn't too sweet. The young lady who assisted was very nice and attentive. I ordered their Philly egg rolls for starters along with their small catfish and 4 wing combo. I have to say, I didn't have the heart to tell my friend it really wasn't the best wings or fried fish I've had. Not even close. Everything down to the fish that was bland to the mushy crinkle fries just didn't hit. Even their mild sauce was off. I mixed the mild sauce with their hot sauce, which was just the Franks hot sauce, which was way better. I did enjoy my time and was definitely glad for the experience to try something new! read more

I really wanted to love this place. Was excited to try it, so I went with a friend from out of town. We got there pretty early, trying to beat a lunch crowd. Most ppl ordered out so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The ambiance was really cool. Good music, nice art on the walls, very clean and would be a great vibe for a party or a "Houston Sunday". The server was great. She's the reason I'm giving any stars. The food was pretty horrid. We ordered 4pc dark dinner with fries, a catfish/shrimp basket with an extra order of shrimp. Our apps were the fried pickles and fried Oreos. Drinks, koolaid and iced tea. The drinks were pretty ok. My friend loved the Oreos. Everything else---ALL OVER SEASONED!! Even the fried pickles, they literally tasted like they were dipped in salt laced with flour and fried in old fish grease. The chicken and seafood looked wonderful, but it all tasted salty. My friend tasted on bite of everything and each time she said it was too much seasoning. Her tastebuds are a little sensitive, so I thought, it wldve been seasoned just right for me. TUH!!!! I almost cried when I bit into my chicken. I LOVE chicken, but I I'm going to have to give it up for a few weeks so I can get that taste out of my system. We spent $75 for salt meat and seafood. I don't know if today was a bad day/morning for the cook or what, but I do know I won't be going back to find out. I REALLY wanted to like this place. It was such a disappointment. read more

Well this is my second visit and I tried to order over the phone and they don't take over the phone orders so I went to website but you have to be paying with credit or debit card and I only had cash at the moment but this is a bummer cause I didn't want to sit 30 minutes waiting on my order anywho I hope my food is not like last time that's why I'm giving them a second chance I really didn't enjoy the lady taking my order she wasn't friendly at all I ordered a pizza puff and fries and 4chicken wings and fries with mild sauce on it which came to 21$ cause of a Wednesday special. Well I will say the chicken is still not great to me nothing like Chicago Harold's but the pizza puff was good so with that being said I won't be returning for chicken only maybe for the pizza puff. read more

We got lucky; there was only one other customer in the place. The server was polite. The floor was sticky. The bathroom was clean. Now the food... We had large chicken and fish with coleslaw and large chicken and shrimp with fries. We also had a bottled drink and water; and frozen margarita. This was our first time here. The food came out piping hot with no/low seasoning. The two teaspoon serving of coleslaw was a disappointment. Fries were crinkle cut Great Value. Margarita was good; didn't come with salt on rim. Took leftovers home in a paper bag. Overall, overpriced for low budget, under flavored food. read more

I had this place bookmarked to try out and I made time to go. I had their 6 wing meal which came with fries and coleslaw. The wings were fried very much to my liking. They weren't so hard fried which I enjoyed. The fries were crinkle type and were somewhat soft which are also to my liking. The coleslaw was another story. They were nit a full serving? They were served in a tiny container like the ones you would put ketchup or dressing in. Maybe 2 spoons full. They should not include that as a side as it wasn't a full serving. There is a full bar also and a few TVs surrounding the restaurant. I really enjoyed the wings tho and I will definitely return read more

Remember back in the early 90s when Burger King tried table service? Well, it looks like a casual fast food joint is new in town with the same concept. Imagine your favourite fried chicken spot seating you, sending over a waiter and taking 15 minutes to bring out your food. Imagine hip hop tunes playing in the background as you gaze over at the full bar that offers all day libations, including happy hour specials. If you can dig that with the fried chicken or fish you came in for, Harold's is your spot! Call me boujee but I can't quite imagine wanting a smooth bourbon to go with my fried gizzards and fries. But hey...maybe you're in your early 20s and want to "wine and dine" your new boo without breaking the bank. This would definitely be the place to do just that! We'll be back, Harold! read more

Went here based on one of my friend's recommendation. I also love to support black businesses. My friend and I ordered the 12 wings with a side of the Harold's sauce. No coleslaw. I got home and discovered there was no sauce in the bag, only ketchup. The wings were on the small side and heavily seasoned. A bit too salty for me. If they tone down on the seasoning the wings would taste perfect. read more

Had the chicken wings and shrimp. Loved the mild sauce on the side. Shrimp was seasoned well. Beignets were good as well. Will have to try and come back for happy hour during the week. read more

Heard this place from social media and had put it off for a long time, finally decided to check it out today. This spot was pretty solid I love any spot that has frozen drinks so i was excited to order some!

Service was quick and easy our server was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely come back. read more

Went with the family on yesterday. The food was hot and the drinks were good. Had a moderate buzz. I ordered the four piece wings with fries and coleslaw. It was hot!!! The lemon pepper dust on top left me wanting another order. Our server was attentive and offered suggestions concerning our drink selections. The interior was spacious and allotted enough space so that we were not on top of each other. I'm already planning to go back. read more

As a Chicago native, I've never experienced such ignorance at a restaurant before. What kind of management asks parents of an autistic child what the noise is, simply because the child is stimming? Would you ask why a baby is crying? This kind of behavior shows a complete lack of understanding and compassion. Ignorance may be bliss, but it's unacceptable in a business that serves the public. I will continue to leave reviews until I see action taken to address this, or until I see a decline in your business. Do better. Your management needs urgent education on diversity, inclusion, and how to treat all customers with respect. As a Black customer, it's especially disheartening to feel that doing business with other Black-owned establishments can sometimes be this difficult. When will your managers stop asking autistic parents why their child is autistic? The level of ignorance is shocking, and your staff clearly needs serious training on accommodating diverse needs. Also, stop deleting my posts and address my concerns. read more

I only do takeout from here but I have sat in the car a crunched a wing or 3...they are very crunchy and seasoned well. The fries are mid but still tasty and the mild sauce does what needs to be done. I'm a southern girl and love spicy so I wish they had a spicier sauce but that's beside the point...staff is friendly and the bar is always stocked and overall clean environment. If you can't get to a Harold's food truck somewhere in Chicagoland this is the next best thing. read more

I will start this off by saying I AM from Chicago. Born and raised. I also must admit that there was a fast food chicken war between Uncle Remus chicken and Harold's in Chicago. I was an Uncle Remus guy personally. However, it was nice to discover a piece of home come to Houston. I ordered via doordash. When it arrived, it was hot and fresh. I ordered wings, catfish and shrimp. Everything had the look and presentation of what I am used to seeing from Harold's in Chicago. They also threw in their signature mild sauce which also had the same taste I remembered. Wings - The wings were really good. Same batter, same seasoning and what tasted like the same ingredients. The French fries that came with it also were very familiar. Tasty, crispy and fresh. Seafood - Shrimp and catfish were unfortunately more on the gamy side. That is a hard pass for me so I didn't finish. It was still cooked perfectly and for folks who don't mind a gamy taste, you should like it. All in all, if you want a familiar taste from Chicago, I'd recommend this establishment. However, seafood needs some tuning. I will order chicken wings again. read more

I was really excited about Harold's, and wanted to love it. But after the meal, was very underwhelmed. The service was very slow, and my server was super inattentive, bordering on rude. She was expert at avoiding eye contact so we were not able to ask for anything after she brought our order. The only time I saw her after she took our orders was when she dropped off the check. The food was good, not great. Not good enough to want to sit through the service again. Such a bummer. read more

Everyone at work have been talking about this new business. So I had to come see for myself! The ambience was giving a cool hang out for game night. The drinks are very delicious, I had a lavender lemonade (forgot picture my bad). However I personally feel like the food is a little expensive. I orders were take out that I picked up myself. And it was like getting a chicken plate from Timmy Chan in the paper plate. The food was ok. read more

So I decided to try Harold's for my cheat meal and so glad I did . Upon entry I was greeted and noticed how clean the restaurant was . I decided on the 4 piece wings with coleslaw and fries and a piece of bread . I opted out of coleslaw for more fries instead and ordered a side of fried okra , fries hard .I waited about 10 mins which is to be expected for fresh food. I was informed by the bartender that they should be getting a frozen margarita machine soon , so decided I'll get a drink when they do. The wings were so good ,I also ordered the mild sauce which was so good I found my self dipping some of my fries and okra in . The okra was good and crispy as well but was enough for two people maybe even three. Overall, I was very satisfied and will definitely be back when I have family come into town next week 10/10 . read more

A waste of 20 bucks ‍ I called after learning that the mild sauce is ketchup and the manager was rude as hell. She didn't even try to fix the problem as I'm allergic to tomatoes and because I'm not from Chicago as she asked, I guess I should have known this ketchup that was supposed to be mild sauce was tomato based. ‍ Threw the entire plate away. And I asked for mild lemon pepper fish only, not the fries and bread. This place is TRASH! read more

Saw the high reviews and decided to try it out. Big mistake. Food was way over priced. Bread was not even toasted. Coleslaw was super tiny. Glass of water came out in a tiny plastic cup with plastic silverware. Asked for ketchup for my fries and received ketchup packets 4. Service was ok. Had better chicken at Popeyes and Canes. read more

So my mother in law and myself decided to try this place out for the first time last night. I ordered 2 of the 2 piece catfish and 4 shrimp and one small catfish. The food was made to order hot and fresh. I paid 60.00$ and the food was bland with no flavor, taste or seasoning. Service was good but not the food. I expected to get a full sized catfish and it looked as if they cut the fish in half and served it as two pieces of fish when it's only one piece. Was not happy with the amount of money I had spent. read more

Chicken is great cooked perfectly. Not oversized crispy on the outside so tender on the inside. Love the sauce too

The chicken wings are seasoned good. I ordered the wings and shrimp combo. The shrimp are HUGE, collasal even, but tough to bite into because they're so huge. Not my style. I don't do shrimp from other countries. And that's what they gave. My husband ordered the chicken strip combo. The strips are straight from the freezer. I'm upset about that. We spent $35 (no drinks) for cafeteria strips. You can't hold yourself out as a "chicken" place and serve frozen strips! Why can't y'all batter and fry chicken breast tenders instead of frozen food? Please don't make the same mistakes we made. Also the fries were soft very hot but soft. It's just not worth it. Chicken wings were seasoned so if I ever decided to go back I would get them alone. read more
