Harold’s Chicken Shack Reviews
Amazing Great Hot Fresh And Good!!!
I waited in a long line, but when I stepped outside to have a 10 minute conversation and came back in, they gave me a regular chicken. It don’t look like none of them came out of the same grease together Mitch Match chicken, and it was fried too hard I couldn’t even chew. I’m so disappointed brand new restaurant. Why can’t they fried chicken that’s moist like 87th and Kenzie
This is the BEST Harold’s in the city! Fresh, crispy, delicious and mild sauce on point!

Harold’s Chicken Shack is a well-known Chicago staple that many customers enjoy for its flavorful chicken and variety of menu options. Several reviews highlight that the location consistently delivers good food, especially the chicken, which is described as "fire" and of high quality. The 1/2 white dinner is a popular choice, with customers noting that every piece of chicken is tasty. While the food is generally praised, some mention that the quality has slightly declined over the years, and they sometimes need to double-check their orders.
The restaurant offers a variety of meals, and many find the dinners to be a better value than wings, which can be more expensive. Customers also appreciate that the location now accepts card payments. However, wait times can be long, especially during busy lunch hours, and calling ahead for pickup is recommended to avoid delays. The inside of the restaurant is described as simple and not modern, reflecting its longstanding presence in the community. Overall, Harold’s Chicken Shack remains a favorite for many, known for its authentic Chicago flavor, despite occasional service and quality fluctuations.
