O.K. So Ive always wanted to try the famous "HAROLDS CHICKEN"...Iv never lived in a neighborhood that had one till I moved here in Uptown. So I spotted this place while driving home...and I was like "IVE GOT TO TRY HTIS PLACE" I went in a couple days ago on a dreary rainy spring day, was just expecting to have some "ok" chicken. I first noticed they got all kinds of good looking foods NOT JUST CHICKEN. I also seen they had CHCKEN LIVERS which I absolutely LOVE! I placed an order over the phone to "PICK UP" the girl said in 20mins my food would be ready...I gave them Half an hour (30 mins.) When I got there it wasnt even started it took another 20 mins just to cook my food, which means it took approx. an hour to complete my order. YES I was getiing pissed!!! And i was a first time customer! I thought this better be some darn good food for all this time Im waiting. Lo and Behold It was PURE AWESOMNESS I ordered the Chicken Livers and Wings Combo. Drenched in xtra hot sauce, of course it came with fries, cole slaw and two slices of bread wich nicely sopped up all that savory spicy goodness. The batter they cooked in, is seasoned to PERFECTION! I was like "HOT DAMN THIS IS GOOD"...The chicken wings are very juicy as opposed to being greazy (there is a big difference) If you dont like spicy hot sauce they also have Mild Hot Sauce. The food was SOOO delicious I forgot about the slow service. But still - they need to work on that! More than likely I will recomend and be a reuglar customer.
All in all...Serive needs some work, but the food, Is High Quality Tasty Awsomeness!
Oh yea an added plus is they are very very clean there. Not at all dirty or filthy like other chicken joints in the area. (No Names)
WAIT!!! One more thing! MUST TRY THEIR DESSRTS! Simply Wonderful and Fresh! I had a Strawberry Parfait...YUMZ!

You really cannot go wrong with Harold's. In fact, if you are craving fried chicken, you only have two options in my eyes. Harold's and Popeye's. Choosing between the two is really a matter of how much you're willing to spend and convenience of location. If you choose Harold's, call ahead.
Review Source:I mean, it's a chicken shack so your expectations can't be TOO high. The chicken is good. I've never had any problems with the service here. It's a newer Harold's so it's clean. The wait is about average for any other Harold's I've been too. I like it and I never have any issues. The people are nice and I always get what I order.
Yum.
