The sauces where great. Love companies that have many sauces to choose from and allow you to taste.
The chicken wings, gizzards, and thigh where cooked very well. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The breading is not in my top 5 favorites. The okra was flavorful. The gizzards are too great. They had enough tenderness and crunch.
Great place, prices to high though.
Wouldn't mind coming back for gizzards and sauce. Not just for fried chicken though.

Yet another chapter in my restaurant Chronicles. I drive by this place pretty regular. Thought I'd stop by and check it out. It was actually very good! It has a different flavor but it's good. It took about 15 minutes so I figured to be ready because none of the chicken cooked until you order it. So I was okay with that. It was hot and fresh and good. Not too pricey. Customer service was great! Very pleasant employees. I will be back Chicago Famous Chicken!!

Cooked to order, fresh and hot. My husband felt like he was back home. We have been back several times especially for the pizza puffs. Love can't wait for the rest of the menu to try.

Fresh fried chicken. Variety of sauces. Whole wings, not pieces, rare here in Houston. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. I spent than normal on chicken, but the portions were great. I probably bought more than I needed, but it made for great leftovers the next day.

So gave these guys a try. The short go try them! Worth a visit to see if you like them too!
The long version below.
Atmosphere - definitely geared for to go orders. Theu have inside tables but it is done and dash oriented. They give you your order and the rest is you.
Food - so far I have just had their fried chicken. It is really good. Their marinade and batter give the chicken great flavor. (Pro tip - Tuesday chicken meals are like half price) They are worth coming to try at least once. Their fries use a really good spice mix. It is mainly salt and pepper with touches of other spices it seems. Really good.
Service - I haven't had a bad exchange here. The staff are friendly and professional. They are quick too.
Special Note - They cook the chicken when you order it. You will be waiting 10 to 20 minutes. Be prepped. The ain't McDonald's.its worth it for those who do.
Food is packaged in paper containers with wax paper lining the top and 2 pieces of toast on bottom with fries and chicken on top of em.
The final thoughts - Bit more costly which shows in the quality. Great food and worth coming to try. Recommend to friends they won't hate you.

Got the Fish and Chicken combo with 1 catfish filet , 1 wing and 1 breast in the bayou hot sauce with fries. Food came out fast and tasted delicious. I definitely will be back.

My girlfriend is a Chicago native and says that the mild sauce here is almost identical to the one back home! -Apprently I also messed up by not having them drench my order with said mild sauce

The food is cooked fresh. The mild sauce is on point. Reminds me of true Chicago hometown food. My second time here. Will keep coming back.

Being a Chicago native I was very skeptical about trying this place out. But they definitely have the mild sauce on point. The chicken was good (not seasoned to my desired taste) but the sauce makes up for it, freshly fried in fresh oil which was pleasant to have. The fries were really, really good too (I'd fry them just a min longer though) and they put just the right amount of sauce on everything, even the bread was just like I'd have in a Chicago chicken shack. The staff that attended to us was really nice too. Overall a really good experience. We will definitely be back!

Very Clean & Organized restaurant. The staff was extremely Friendly & Accommodating. We arrived close to Closing time and the owner still welcomed us to dine in. The FOOD!
The food is freshly prepared once ordered. We dined on chicken wings, fries, cole slaw and the famous Chicago sauce. It was perfectly seasoned & pleasing to the palate. We'll definitely become Regulars. I highly recommend patronizing this establishment.

I realized I hadn't eaten and saw a restaurant I hadn't seen in the area. "Chicago" and "fried fish" caught my eye. The restaurant was clean. The staff was pleasant , informative and patient. As I sat waiting for my "cook to order food", it gave me a chance to read the reviews. As with any reviews some good, some not so good. What gave me concern was the response from the owner. I'm glad I came into the restaurant first before reading the reviews in this case. I felt that on the lower star ratings owners response was more personal than professional and something kinda rude and condescending. Which would've made me think negative of the staff. So wrong!!
With that said on to the food. In the end I really liked it and so did my son. The light, crispy crust was a very pleasant change and it allowed me to taste more of the chicken. The flavor of the chicken was different with the first few bites but it was still very pleasant ( I opted to have the sauce on the). The sauce to me was a bit too salty for my taste- flavor otherwise was good, but my son was pleased with it on all levels. The tilapia had a good mild flavor. It needed nothing else for my liking. I would have preferred to have my bread toasted, but next time I will request it be done. All in all I will be returning to Chicago Famous Fried Chicken. Thank you for a taste of your Chicago.

Chicken is well seasoned to perfection!!! The chicken was well cooked and juicy on the inside. Signature mild sauce is phenomenal!!! Catfish was also Amazing along with the fried Okra. Cashier was very knowledgeable, and made suggestions. I waited for a good 30 minutes, however the food was “piping hot” and well worth the wait. I definitely recommend this restaurant to all customers. Has my stamp of approval!!!

I'm from Chicago and my girlfriend wanted to visit Chicago to try the different foods there and loved it. One of the places we went to was Harold's chicken and I told her about how the mild sauce brings it together and she really loved it. Fast forward to today and we were thoroughly impressed and it definitely felt like I was back in Chicago. The seasoning of the chicken was great, of course I added lemon pepper and mild sauce and we both were stuffed afterwards. Next I'm going to try the Italian beef and hopefully that's great. Food was great, very clean and staff was very friendly. 👍👍

There is just a few guidelines when visiting
1. Prepare for freshness- though you will be waiting for your meal. If you are looking for juicy, fresh, and hot chicken you’ve come to the right place.
2. Get your own plate - though same is caring. Not here you’ll will want to get your own meal. But trust you get a lot with what you order.
3. The chicken - Flavor is off the charts of you want to add a sauce you can. But trust without sauce you will not be disappointed.
4. Clean - this location is very well kept as well as the staff is personable and have no problem explain the menu to new customers as well as provide suggestions
5. Flavor - did I mention this ? Lol again I was very surprise as far as the flavor of the chicken without anything.

The chicken was juicy, crispy and delicious! The fries were crispy on the outside, soft within and seasoned to perfection. Literally nothing I'd change about my experience. The service was phenomenal. I'll definitely be back!

First time here loved the food is cooked upon ordering. I had the gizzards and chicken with Chicago mild sauce. Absolutely loved it. I also tried the dry rubbed lemon pepper chicken. It was bland. I didn't taste any lemon pepper so I asked for extra seasoning. I will definitely be going back.
