    Very poor service. Had to wait almost if not 30 minutes for 6 wings ! Being a former restaurant owner i know this is how it is done. There are people that were hear before me that were told 15 minutes till the chechen is ready. Is there only one deep fryer back there ?

    I ordered chicken wings with sauce. It was all bad, from the sauce, to the wings. I was very disappointed. they drowned my wings with hot sauce that should’ve been Harold’s sauce. I honestly was very upset, because chicken from Harold’s is expensive. I couldn’t eat nor enjoy my food. 0-10 I do not recommend. Go out south for Harold’s Chicken folks.

    Ordered my food online and it was ready at the given time. There is plenty of paid street parking but if you run in and run out you can probably avoid having to pay. The cashier greeted me and he was pleasant. My order was correct. The fries and chicken were piping hot, fried correctly, and fresh. I hadn't ate Harolds in maybe 5 years before today. I just think there are better options for the price. $10 for 4 wings and fries is a bit much to not be perfect. The chicken was hot and fresh but lacked flavor. The only seasoning I tasted was the salt and pepper I requested. Would I eat it again? Yes. But it will probably be another 5 years.
