“I have to be honest before they have been good but I made a 2 good 2 go order and by the time I got there they were closed completely. I got off work and thatcwas my dinner now no dinner and a waste of gas out of my way. Again I'm not crapping on them because I understand wanting to go home when they are technically off the clock just sad I missed my dinner. The ppl there have always been professional, respectful 🙏 and always nice so this I no slight against the amazing staff“

“You truly can never go wrong with Fry the Coop. I always go with the medium spice tender plate with the signature Coop Sauce and it's nothing but delicious. I always mention this place to people I know, but they've never heard of it! I think Fry the Coop deserves more recognition because they truly take care of their customers.“

“My favorite is the Spicy Chick-fil-A Deluxe Meal.it’s consistently fresh, flavorful ,and perfectly prepared every time. The chicken is crispy and juicy, the toppings are always fresh, and the service is fast and friendly.
The staff is welcoming, it’s one of my go-to places whenever I’m hungry.
Delicious food and excellent customer service“

“Food was great ,people were informative and friendly“

“Great people. Great food. So far so good. I’ll definitely be back. The cook has good customer service skills and he seems to really care for people and his work. Everything in the kitchen area that you could see looks clean. Even the deep fryers are well kept. The perch was fried to perfection. Crunchy and still moist just how I like it. Fries were fried to perfection as well. Can’t make this stuff up. Thank you!!“

“The catfish was fresh, hot, cooked to perfection and delicious, great customer service!! 😋 I will be returning.👍🏽
The 5 star reviews drew me to this location. I had to drive a distance, but it was worth the trip. all other shark locations near me are horrible (2 to be exact)“

“friendly staff and good food. no waiting.“

“My first experience, my husband came home and gave me a piece, and we both came back that same day. The food was even better—saucy, crunchy, fresh chicken and fries, very reasonable. Keep up the good work! Harold's is definitely beaten.“

“Grabbed this to go on a whim and really enjoyed what I had. Ordered medium and it was a good spice level, but if you are sensative to spice, I would opt for the mild as it was hotter than I expected. Their portions are great for the price too. Was worried when I saw waffel fries because you usually only get a handful, but their bag was loaded. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Very good chicken! Q pollo rico !“

“I had an awesome experience here! The people were super friendly, the food was great, the best Mexican food in the area. I would definitely recommend to family and friends or anyone in general. It's a lovely experience, and i do want to add that the decorations are beautiful. Really makes you feel safe and comfortable as you're enjoying your meal with some nice coffee.“

“We had a great customer service experience here! My wife ordered a vanilla cream cold brew, but it was a bit sweet for her taste. The woman working the window remade it with less vanilla and shake base, which was very nice of her! I wish I got her name but I hope her team reads this shout out anyway!“

“Considering how busy the place is can't complain on the quality food tastes good and they even bring you the food. The only real complaint is that you have to ask for the sauces but I would imagine that's a mixed issue with cheapness / customer fault as well from people taking too much 🤷“

“I pass by this place every weekend and I stopped by for the first time today and wow the food was amazing the chicken was perfect ! The mash potatoes were great and the mac and cheese was on point !!! I received my food really fast as well! I will be returning !!! Give this place a try !“

“Probamos el pollo a la brasa y estaba espectacular, jugoso y lleno de sabor. Además, el café de olla es simplemente exquisito, el mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo. El dueño es increíblemente servicial, siempre con una sonrisa y una actitud que te hace sentir como en casa. Definitivamente, un lugar al que volveré una y otra vez. Súper recomendado.“

“Ordered their 3PC Feast, it's comparably better than the other fried chicken place you know at this price point. The chicken skin stayed crispy and the chicken was juicy even after a long delivery. The biscuits were nice and hot with that hint of honey- I thoroughly looked forward to eating it.“

“Love this place - the chicken is always good. BUT if I order wings and ask for “mild sauce on the side” I only want mild sauce. I ordered 8 wings with mild sauce on the side and got 1 cup of mild sauce and 1 cup of hot sauce - I never asked for hot sauce so now I have 8 wings with 1 cup of sauce.“

“Muy rica la comida excelente servicio ! muy limpio, felicidades“

“After wirk i was in the mood for chicken. Forget the kentucky. As a southsider i had to hit up harolds but the pullman joint seemed too far so i checked this one out. Not dissapointed. The mild did seem a little sweet but those 6 wings bathed in sauce were a hit. The lady seemed nice; its all about your demeanor and the a1 wings. 👌🏿“

“I have been to several Byrd’s locations and the Orland Square Mall Byrd’s is by far the best I have had yet! Attention to detail is one of the main things I look for and I received exactly what I ordered and didn’t have to haggle for an extra sauce! 10/10 For service and the food!❤️❤️❤️“

“A crew member named Sofia was very attentive, she came to my table to ask kindly if we needed anything like a refill, napkins or anything else. She had a huge smile while giving us our order. She’s the sweetest, please don’t be mean to her.🩵“

“not sure but seems like they sold to someone else. service sucked Bought a 4 piece chicken wing get one free meal and 2 chicken breast meal and 2 pops. 40 dollars. The coleslaw tasted spoiled. never again..“

“I used to eat from years ago, and I stop by today. food is still 🔥🔥🔥“

“the best thing about this place is the service the food and prices It's so affordable I've been coming here now for my quick meal I literally can't ask for anything more the guy that works, let me tell you he works lol The food is so good i always come here for my special two pizza puffs, mozzarella sticks and fries always the same price 13 dollars i swear anywhere else and you would be paying 10 dollars for each pizza puff. definitely recommend!!!!“

“07-28-26 I was about to order for delivery on DoorDash and it didn’t have options for sauces or anything. So I called the store before ordering because I didn’t want dry chicken! The lady that picked up the phone made sure my order had sauce and it was very delicious when I received it.. thank you bless her heart!“

“We ordered 75 pieces of chicken for a holiday event. Priced great! We had nothing but complements all night on how good the chicken was! Delivered on time with a smile. Highly recommend them for your catering needs or just for a great meal!!!“

“The older cashier who works in the mornings is outstanding!! She is exactly what this location needs! She is professional and kind to her customers!! The food has been consistently good but she is the face behind this location and one of the reasons I frequent this location. Kudos to her!“

“I don't know who was cooking yesterday but they need to be in the kitchen at all times! The fried chicken was perfect, the mozzarella sticks were perfect, My wife ordered the chicken Philly and let me try it, and I have never had a Chicken Philly that tasted so good in my life! I will be going back today!“

“Harold’s is always the first place i go when i land in the Chi. This past week was no different. My best friend picked me up from the airport and already knew what it was, lol. This particular Harold’s was recommended. I stopped in around 8:30 or so and i gave my spill abt how it’s a tradition each time i come Chicago, Harold’s it’s always the first stop. The lady at the register took my order and asked where i was visiting from. I got wings and a pizza puff with mild and hot sauce, salt/pepper, and ketchup. She recommended i add Lemon Pepper, i obliged. After abt 10 minutes, i got my fresh food with a free bottle of mild sauce. Once i made it to the crib the food was gone in abt 7 mins. Food and customer service 10 out of 10 would highly recommend… I’ll definitely be back.“

“Eat there whenever I'm in town!!! Food is always fresh, hot and delicious!!!! Friendly staff.“

“Shark’s Fish & Chicken is a fantastic spot for comfort food! I tried the fried catfish and it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the fries were golden and well-seasoned. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The staff were friendly“

“My mom and I visited this Popeyes to grab something to eat. We were in the neighborhood for a CPR Class. We got the Darin Dab Ghost wings. I think that is what they are called. Anyway, when I tell you them wings were good, they were good. First the customer service was great. And the wings were hot and fresh, nicely seasoned and crunchy!!!!! Will definitely stop in again when in the neighborhood. Just wanted to make sure you all knew that. Great customer service and food! We visited on a Saturday.“
