Harold’s is an iconic Chicago food stop, chicken fingers are fresh and be sure to order additional sauce, I personally love the mild. This location is the real deal.

Harold's has always been my favorite chicken place. The chicken and fries are my favorite meal, because I just love chicken, and their chicken and fries are very tasty and mouthwatering for me!

The chicken of course, however, there is a bit of variety on the menu like fried fish, or shrimp. I got mango juice, it was delicious. Parking is very limited and pricey, if your lucky find a meter.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This is the best fried chicken in Chicago! Try the sauce: mild is on the sweeter side, or go for hot sauce if you like it spicy.

Orders are pretty fast and you automatically get fries with whatever you order and your choice of mild or hot sauce. You also get a student discount.

They don't cook the chicken until you order it, so it takes a bit longer. Totally worth it. Read more

Best fried chicken around - hands down. But if you want extra sauce they will charge you $0.50.

Sí está muy dentro de mi Top 3 de pollo frito EVER. Y llegamos a ciegas, pero fue una hermosa, cocinada a la perfección y grasosa sorpresa.

Es un sitio de venta de comida (básicamente pollo aunque hay algunos productos de mar). La verdad está bastante bien, sirven relativamente rápido y los precios son baratos.
