About Harolds Chicken Shack

Harold's Chicken Shack is a nostalgic spot that serves classic fried chicken and seafood. With a reputation for quick service, the downtown location delivers on speed, with food prepared quickly and efficiently. The chicken is crispy and hot, and the shrimp are a highlight. Many customers recommend the chicken, claiming it tastes like what their grandma made, and it is worth trying, especially with the mild sauce. However, some diners feel the macaroni could use more seasoning and the fish tasted frozen. While some may miss the taste of their favorite childhood Harold's, the downtown location still offers a pleasant experience. The staff, including the nice register lady, provide excellent customer service. Although there may be some menu items unavailable, like popcorn chicken or bread, the staff tries to make it right by offering fries for the disappointment. The atmosphere is great for dining in and enjoying wings, but customers should be cautious not to wear white, as the amazing sauce can get messy. The French fries are plentiful and the gizzards are seasoned just right. Overall, it's a humble but worth-trying spot with a large menu and crispy fried goodness, and many plan to return for another visit.

I order food for me and four other coworkers at 11:05 am and the food did not get delivered until 1:16ish this afternoon. I called to speak with someone at 1:02 pm and asked the status of my order. I gave Charlene my name and she told me that she did not have an order for Jemeika. After asking a coworker if there was an order for me she told me it just left. I asked her why my order was so late and she said that they were behind. I asked to speak to a manager on site she told...read full review
