Food was good. Chicken tenders were nice and juicy, and the sauce was great! The portions are pretty big (I was actually satisfied with just one order of chicken tenders with fries, and I'm a pretty big guy), and the prices are actually quite low for the portions given. They do charge for extras, but other than that, the food is really cheap! Only $2 for a small order of fries, and their small is quite large, probably comparable to a large at a regular fast food restaurant. Service time was also reasonable, about 15 or 20 minutes. Never waited longer than 25 minutes, but usually closer to 20. Update: I've tried other menu items, including wings, breasts, thighs, and shrimp. They're all equally tasty. I go here weekly.

Street parking is available directly across from the restaurant. There was not a lot of activity in the area and it was well lit and I felt comfortable in the area even with it being late in the evening. The food was prepared quickly. It came out fresh, well seasoned, and was well portioned with the appropriate amount of sauce on the wings and fries. I'll definitely be back! There are no photos because I ate it too quickly

Some of the best chicken I've ever had. Such a variety to choose from besides chicken also. Gizzards were great and the hushpuppies were cooked to perfection. It must also be a local favorite because we asked someone at the gas station a good place to eat and she even had us follow here there. Very clean establishment and super awesome employees. Will definitely be back when we are in the area. If you're looking for great chicken and a friendly environment you need to go to Harold's.
