| - Apparently I've driven by this place a million times but never noticed it. I was looking for new places to try online and found out about it, though, so I quickly made a trip over there.
I arrived shortly before the lunch rush hit. It's a fairly small place, with just 6 or 7 tables. I get the feeling most people just get takeout. While the cashier was quite upbeat, the service was fairly slow. I just got a chicken strip meal with fries and a drink, and it took a good 10 minutes or so to prepare. I asked for no cole slaw but they put it in there anyway.
You get a decent amount of food for what you pay for, but nothing really sticks out as particularly good or special. The chicken strips were standard fare, with a lot of pepper in the batter, and the fries were just fine. I got the hot sauce and was fairly disappointed in it. Like another reviewer said, it's basically straight from the bottle. I'm pretty sure it's just Louisiana Hot Sauce or some knockoff -- a lot more vinegary/thinner than Frank's Red Hot, just to give you an idea of what to expect. You also get a piece of bread with your meal. It's not buttered, it's not toasted, just a plain piece of white bread which has soaked up some of the grease from the fries and strips. I am fairly sure it was stale or left out for a while, too, as it was a bit dry/crunchy and had started to curl up. Even though I didn't eat the slaw, it comes in a tiny container -- the tiny Solo cups you get from some places with ketchup in them. According to their menu it's 2 ounces. The hot sauce comes in the same size container and is absolutely not enough. If you want extra you have to pay for it.
Aside from chicken strips, regular fried chicken, and some fish, the menu doesn't have much else to offer. If you want a side dish your options are only jalapeno peppers, okra, mushrooms, and cole slaw. Seriously? No mashed potatoes? No biscuits? No mac & cheese? No green beans?
The prices seem random and oddly overpriced in some places as well. An extra hot sauce is $0.50, but a small cole slaw is $0.44. Chicken wings cost over $1 each and can be ordered in sizes of 13, 18, or 24, but are 10 cents more expensive per wing if you order 24 than if you order 13. That's right, more expensive the more you get.
I love chicken but at best Harold's can just be called absolutely average in almost every respect and slightly disappointing.
