Really liked this place. I received good service from the young lady working. I had the wings dinner, full wings not like other places, and a fingers dinner for my wife. Mild sauce is incredible, reminds me of Big Shoe BBQ , loved that place. Totally recommend this place for great fried chicken. Get extra sauce.

Visited Harold's for the first time in a Saturday afternoon around 4pm. As you enter, it is noted that other than removing some tables from the dining room and changing some things where the bar used to be, it looks exactly the same inside as it did when it was Cozy Tavern. The same large mirrors are in the wall and the red vinyl booths still exist from the old bar. The plates that identified the location of the old beer wall remain, as well. There is no sign that says 'ORDER HERE' so you have to figure that part out by yourself. The staff member that eventually greeted us was polite and patient with us as she explained the menu. We were not sure about what sauces we wanted so she was able to give us a sample of the mild sauce. It tastes alot like Arby's sauce. We each ordered the 4 piece chicken tenders dinner that comes with fries, coleslaw, and a piece of bread. They have bottled drinks available such as soft drinks and PowerAde. A 20oz soft drink bottle costs $1.89. While we waited for our order, there were multiple people that showed up for Carry Out orders and they took multiple orders over the phone. Our food came out and in the sack included salt/pepper and a plastic fork/knife combo. There are napkins on the table butt no ketchup or other sauces. I looked, but did not ask, for ketchup and did not see it anywhere. Our chicken tenders portions were very large, thick and juicy. They are served on top of the fries and the bread. There was not a lot of sauce in the tenders n The slaw comes in a 2oz plastic cup. We both are two of our tenders and the fries. We saved the other two for a snack later because we were full. My wife wanted sauce to go for later. She asked the woman at the register and we were charge $0.55 for a cup to go. That seemed kind of much for sauce to go, but we paid it. Overall, the food was excellent and reheated well. An update to the inside of the restaurant is certainly needed, but other than the party of 10 that arrived to have a birthday party as we were leaving; most of the business was CARRY OUT. So far , Harold's has the best chicken tenders in townn
