Harold’s Chicken Shack has sustained generations of Hyde Parkers and students with its superlative fried chicken – served with French fries, two slices of white bread, and cole slaw. The secret is the sauce – will you choose the hot or the mild? Dark meat or white meat? Or compromise and get the famous Half Dark special? Hyde Parkers understand the complexity of these choices. For newcomers – be forewarned – Harold’s will change your life.
