Harold’s has every marker of a great food establishment. Some people go to restaurants and base experience off aesthetics and if that’s you then this is not a place for you. But the food quality is out of this world. Best Harold’s location in Illinois hands down!

I love Harold's My order was hot, fresh, and quick. The service was great from beginning to end. I ordered 2 6 piece wing dinners, which included fries and their famous mild sauce. It was delicious like always.

You walk in and see pictures of Mohammed Ali, Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, Miles Davis, and other heroes and artists. A warm, welcoming atmosphere that serves as a cultural foundation in the community. The food was excellent. My co-workers and I got the 3 wing special with a pop. Chicken was perfectly cooked, and it, along with the fries, had the right amount of mild sauce. A wonderful experience for lunch. I plan on coming again.

Surprising and delicious find on our way out of town!! Ordered the cat fish and dark meat combo as well as the chicken nuggets. Fries came with both. Since this was our first time, the staff suggested the mild sauce, and it was tangy and so good. The fish was perfectly battered and the chicken was crispy and meaty, even slathered in the sauce. If you’re looking for fried chicken or catfish, go to this place.

I was packing this up to go to Kentucky, and it was so hard not to eat a piece of chicken. So glad for the mild sauce in bottles!

The only Harold's I go to when I'm in the city. The food is cooked fresh and still hot by the time I arrive home, which is a 45 min drive. The cashiers are always nice. It doesn't take long, which I don't mind waiting for fresh food.
