Menu for Harold's Shrimp and Chicken in Oak Park, IL

Ordered 2 6 wing dinners for 30.00. Not worth the price point. Some of the smallest wings I've ever had. Sauce was okay, but not... enough. It was just okay, nothing to be excited about. I'm used to South Side locations, which are much better. I wanted to givethem a try, but I'll never return here. Read more

The chicken was good but a strange place. The place was really cold it was about 70° outside but inside of this restaurant it... was cold even the cookstaff had coats on I've never seen anything like that before were you working with a grill or a fryer orwhatever and you were cold even back where the cooking was done but overall the food was good just like Harold should be.

I'd like to rate this place higher. I know they're just opening recently, so I'm sure they're having a learning curve. But the... wait time is very long. We called in our order and we were told 20 minutes. We got there around the 20 minute mark and paid.Then proceeded to wait an extra 25 minutes!!! I'm from the south side so I definitely know how the wait can be for Harold'schicken. But it was a light night, not packed and seemed mild for any restaurant. The second time we went was a little better.But, I will say this. I was highly disappointed in the large fries. There's no way I paid for a large fry and got what looked tobe a small. There was so much room left in the basket and then there was bread underneath the fries. So it wasn't even as fullas it looked. That isn't great. That don't put enough sauce on the chicken. I could go on, but I won't. I wish them the best andI hope they are really successful and get those things in order to bring back people who really like the name Harold's. But I'mout on this place.

The chicken was pretty good. Not as good as Uncle Remus but close. And the Shrimp was really really good. Not over cooked and... really fresh. Service was friendly. They slow as heck on cooking but hey, it's not a lot of workers right now, so I gave thengrace for that. Read more

I gave it 3 stars because I feel like this place is hit or miss. The first time I went, I had no problems except that I noticed... the portion size is much smaller than other Harold?s I?ve been to. I extended them grace saying they were new and they?relocated in OP which I?m sure is not inexpensive to rent but my last visit just didn?t do it for me. To start with thepositives, the food was good my first time, the venue was clean, and I believe the service was great. They were patient witheveryone who walked in during a very busy period. Unfortunately, I?ve already noticed that they do not seem to operate wellunder pressure. My food was over cooked, I was told I couldn?t have my meal the way I asked because they were busy and shedidn?t want to chance it getting messed up, the picture below displays a LARGE order which is actually a very small order in alarge container, and then I wasn?t given my full order which I am sure they would have corrected but I was tired and didn?t feellike going through the trouble of calling or going back up there while they were extremely busy. I do believe they would havecorrected it as they were very apologetic to everyone who walked in. Also, the prices on my receipt did not reflect the priceson their list. To their defense, they said they charge for using credit cards and maybe that reflected in the cost of the food.I don?t know but everything I ordered cost me more than what was advertised. Everything in pic cost me $19 without a portion ofmy order given to me. Not happy about that. I am willing to update my review later but for now I think I am being generous bygiving 3 stars. My honest suggestion (not being facetious) is IF in fact the rent does cut into the cost of inventory for foodand portion sizes given to customers, then it could help to find a better location. But maybe I?m just greedy. LoL Curious toknow if anyone else had this issue. Read more
