“The best soul food in Chicago”

We are Harold's Chicken Shack located in the south loop of Chicago's downtown area. WE ARE THE FRIED CHICKEN KING! Harold's Chicken shack was founded in 1950 by Harold Pierce, a black entrepreneur on Chicago's south side. Since then, Harold's has expanded to include the west side, the north side, Normal Illinois and a few other major cities across the U.S. All of the chicken and fish served at Harold's Chicken Shack Downtown is made to order as Harold Pierce originally intended, and is served with our famous Harold's mild or hot sauce. Stop by and try THE BEST soul food in Chicago!
