The White Sox Are Making Their Own Mild Sauce For Their Park’s Fried Chicken | Eater Chicago

"The White Sox used Harold’s Chicken Shack as the inspiration for their chicken-and-waffles and mild-sauce treatment—Executive Chef Bret Donaldson said they reverse-engineered the recipe—and while the popcorn chicken at Sox Park won’t make anyone’s list of favorite chicken shacks, I see it as a respectful tribute to a familiar South Side taste." - Ashok Selvam

If youre living in cville and getting chicken from any major franchise (Popeyes, canes, etc)...what are you doing! Do yourself a favor, order ahead so by the time you head over there your order is ready and chow down on some really good chicken! It's decently priced and made to order so its honestly hard to beat. This is the second time I've ordered from this place, and there was no difference in quality. The owner even threw in a few extra drumsticks! I highly recommend this establishment!

Service was good. The restaurant was good and clean. I ordered the liver and wings with fries and slaw. The wings was ok. The livers didn’t taste quite right ( but they may taste fine to the next person). Slaw was good but comes in very tiny 2oz container.

The fried catfish was crisp and not oily, the chicken was scrumptious. The greens were so flavorful. We will be back!

To each their own but I’m not sure where the bad reviews come from. We got off the train called Harold’s @ 9:22 pm and the lady was so nice and took our order. We got the 3 wings/gizzards w/fries & slaw. We also got a side of mac. By the time we got there food was ready and staff was friendly! I didn’t get a pic of the other food cause we demolished it! Cons: We thought the macaroni and cheese was a little salty. Give’um a try!

Out of towners who were just passing through and needed something to eat- originally we were going to Burger Fi, but it's now closed down. I'm glad it was because our experience at Harold's Chicken was great! I got tenders and fries. My husband got livers, wings and fries. It also came with slaw. The chicken tenders were huge! Everything was cooked to order making it hot and fresh. The seasoning on the chicken and fries was sooo good! Livers and wings were also delicious according to my husband. Mild and hot sauces were good. Even the coleslaw was great. No complaints! We would return! Also, both the restaurant and bathrooms were clean!

I have NO idea how this place doesn’t have a 5 star review….!!!! The service is top notch, the staff is friendly and remembers your faces, they make everything FRESH on the spot and the food is TOP tier! We come to Charlottesville once a week and this is our new place to stop now! I also would like to add they are NOT stingy on their portions!

No frill places are what I look for because I know the attention is in the food. This place is on point! The chicken is cooked to order, no pans under hot lamps here. Some of the best coleslaw I have ever had. You missing out if you don't stop.

Food was delicious. You do have to wait. But he is preparing it fresh! And appears to be doing it solo. But I found it to be worth the wait!
