Bulletin: Harold's #14 closed for vacation
Here I come back to Hyde Park from the Galut, high-tailing it to 53rd Street for my dark half (hot and mild, extra hot) -- and they're CLOSED! For vacation.Fortunately, there's Stony Island, and if no Harold's is open on Stony, you're just not going to eat chicken. And I found a place, right across from the mosque -- my first time there and it was fabulous. (By the way: They served wheat bread under my chicken. My wife thought that that somehow was an improvement; I couldn't tell any difference, frankly, when I made my fry sandwich. That much hot and bbq sauce on any piece of bread is going to taste pretty much the same -- and pretty good.)
UPDATE: They're back open, though the old phone number (667-9835) just rings off the hook. Better you should check the Official Chicken bag directory and call their newer number.

Exceedingly valuable information! This is a prime example of leveraging technology for a good cause.
there's a new Harold's at 4355 S. Cottage Grove. Haven't tried it yet, but sure smells good.

What's their phone number? That store isn't on the chicken bag yet.
The new one in my neighborhood is...
Harold's Chicken Shack
6952 N Clark St, Chicago 60626
Btwn W Morse & W Lunt Ave
Phone: 773-465-2300
I forget the exact #, though.
Is the lady with the orange hair (circa 1981-84) still there? From the pre-Nicky's location. No matter what you ordered, she would always respond "you said what?"
I remember that. I was very upset, I drove all that way up there in the rain to find out they were closed. That night my craving went unsaticfied. ;(
You sure this is it? I could've sworn I've seen more...
I cant believe that I have lived in Chicago for 60 years and not tried a Harold's...went to #62 after attending Cub Convention and now will make it a stop on my way to baseball games, even White Sox games....what a treat!!!
#92 in minneapolis doesnt have a working phone number...at least the listed one (the same that google finds) gets me no where.
Harolds in Gary is the Best one around. Nice place. Great food.
I am staying in Downtown Chicago and don't know the area well. Which of these Harold's is near downtown or easy to get to on public transportation?
REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD GET 5 WINGS W/ MILD SAUCE FOR $4.25
#32 in Bloomington moved up the street to Normal. It's on North Street now, right across the street from Illinois State University. It's safe to say they're making a killing at their new location.

Downtown, you might find these two to be the most convenient, depending on where you're staying:
No. 62, on Wabash
No. 77, on Wells
