The owners of Harold's Chicken were already in the restaurant industry in 1950, when they adapted a recipe for chicken feet and dumplings to fried chicken. Before the year was out, they had opened a new restaurant named Harold's Chicken Shack, and the franchise took off from there.

Today, Harold's Chicken Shack is all across the Chicagoland area. They pair their chicken creations with fish and shrimp galore, as well as saucy fries and plenty of cakes. Harold's Chicken Shack prides itself on preparing delicious food fresh to order, with no filler or additives and served by friendly people in a warm and energetic atmosphere. At Harold's Chicken of Homewood their mission is to deliver quality products at a reasonable price with impeccable service to every guest.
