I’ve gone a few times and enjoyed every time. Good smothered pork chops, fried chicken, Hennessy wings, catfish, however the beef short ribs 10/10!! The sides are pretty good. I usually get rice and gravy, Mac and cheese, or greens. I’ll give the sides a solid 7/10. They fry to order so it can be a wait for certain items.

THIS ISN'T OOOH WEE ANYMORE! This is Harold's Chcken now. Their cheat fries & chicken sandwiches are delicious. The other Harold's don't make these foods at the other branches. They don't have tables for you to sit at. Also this is in Burnham, Illinois. Not Chicago.
