"Not all Harold’s Chicken Shacks are created equal, as a few writers have found. This isn’t news for any Chicagoan, but it bears repeating, as Harold’s has become a nationally known brand thanks to celebrity fans like Chance the Rapper. This particular Harold’s, on the corner of 127th and Halsted, is known not for customer service, but for its crisp chicken (fried in beef fat) and its own take on mild sauce, the must-have condiment that’s become a cult favorite. Still, not everyone will agree: Harold’s fans are passionate and really enjoy arguing about which location is best." - Ashok Selvam

After seeing a review video, I decided to try Harold's again. It has been years since I have tried it. After seeing a review video, I decided to try Harold's again. It has been years since I have tried it. It was tasty. The wings were small. I did get the lunch special. The fries were good. I could have used more mild sauce. Overall I would try it again. Maybe the wings are bigger if you don't get the lunch special.

The crispiest and juiciest Harold's chicken I've ever been too. My husband was shaking as he ate the first bite cause of how excited he was. Than after we ate he wanted to cry because of how satisfied he was. Lol! The best dopamine surge you ever gonna get I'll tell you that much ! This chicken shack is the REAL finger licking good! 😏

Food is good but I'll never go back. They have some of the worse service and longest wait times. 40 minutes for a 4 wing special and it still wasn't in my hand. Spent my whole lunch break and still couldn't eat So I got a refund

Had a great meal here at Harold’s. The chicken and fries doused in mild sauce were fire 🔥🔥. I ordered 6 wings that came with fries and coleslaw and a slice of white bread. Chicken and fries really hit the spot. They have decent parking but no dine in available because they have no tables. Highly recommend to anyone craving chicken and fries with mild sauce!

This particular experience deserves a 0 star, however I'm giving them 3 because this is the only time I've been disappointed out of the handful of times I've been there. I asked for "easy" mild sauce... instead they drenched my food. What you are seeing in the photos is an actual puddle of sauce and 3 pieces of fish completely disintegrated due to the overwhelming amount of sauce. I can't eat this. Does this look like easy sauce to anyone?

This location mixed fresh with stale chicken. Order 6 wings only 3 wings were fresh. They’re not slick…same issue with 1/2 white. They tried to be slick.
