“ The outside of this location isn’t very appealing but the food never disappoints! Fye all the time ”
“ Tried this location on the fly- food was very very tasty! Everything was fresh! But my friend told me they forgot my pepper, but first time here was a hit!!! Loved every bit of my 6 wings with fries!!! Will definitely return, please keep up the good work! ”
“ I love this Harold's location! For 20, you can feed 2-4 ppl. I always order two halves of dark, and they give a 2 piece free. That's 10pcs chicken, 6 slices bread, 3 coleslaw minis, and 3 servings of fries. It works! when you're in a hurry and on a tight budget not to mention the food is fire!!! ”
“ I read very mixed reviews on this Harold's Chicken. True, the sauce is a mixture of catchup and BBQ sauce but in my opinion it works. By far the best seasoned Harold's I've ever had. The wait is average, 15mins. I went for lunch and late dinner and the chicken taste the exact same. It's my go to Harold's. I haven't had a bad experience YET. Microwaved chicken wasn't bad, however fries everywhere are 90% bad once cold and reheated. ”
“ This Harold's right here in this gas station is DELICIOUS!! Since the angry lady is gone, the phones are even being answered . My chicken was freshly prepared, and just the way I ordered it! If you're looking for a GREAT meal, this is the location to go to. My last experience at Harold's was on 35th and Indiana STRAIGHT TRASH. Don't even waste your money. ”
“ I was on 53rd in Hype Park!!!! And I had the best chicken ever thankyou . ”
