The young lady at the window has a NASTY ATTITUDE. I will drive to 87th and the Dan Ryan before I ever go back to this location. If you want good customer service this is not the place to go.

Harold’s Chicken is known for its flavorful and well-seasoned fried chicken, which many customers consider the best they have ever had, especially for those familiar with Chicago-style chicken. The chicken can be cooked to personal preferences, whether not too crispy or cooked just right, and is praised for its taste. The restaurant offers a simple concept focused on quick service, with most customers expecting to order, pick up, and leave promptly. The flavor of the chicken is consistently good, earning the restaurant high marks, often around four stars.
However, the dining experience is limited by the small space, with very limited seating and a sign requesting customers to move away from the counter after placing their order. Customers generally do not eat in, as the restaurant is too small for sit-down meals. Service quality varies: some staff are polite and professional, while others can be distant or unwelcoming. Staff are often stingy with sauces, and customers recommend ordering an hour in advance to minimize wait times.
Food quality remains the highlight, but issues such as limited seating, inconsistent service, and a recent problem with moldy cake highlight areas for improvement. Overall, Harold’s Chicken is celebrated for its great chicken, making it a popular spot despite its small size and service quirks.
