This is the okra I bought. Keep in mind I haven't had one bite yet.

I purchased a small okra and it took them 30mins to cook it. Once received I got a half of container of okra. I was hungry and pissed. I'm not patronizing any company that will short change me on my purchase.

I ain't gone lie I hate coming here but the chicken is good. So I called in and was told to hold, I waited 6min and 25 sec just to get hung up on. I called back placed my order and was told 20min, when I arrived 30min later I still waited an additional 15min. If you go to Sharks and I mean any Sharks it's only ONE cook and ONE person working the register. Not sure how they work it out but you can always place your order and it's ready when you arrive in FIFTEEN MINUTES. We try to support but this is what makes us patronize other businesses. The Harolds doesn't taste like the original in Chicago not does it taste like the one in Merrillville that's why I like it so much but the wait time is ridiculous and the crazy thing about it is that most of the employees have been then since they open so having a routine should be down packed. Shit you prolly gotta wait 20min for cookies and them shits is prepackaged in the window So I prolly won't stop coming I just have to be in a ready to deal with bullshit mood before I come.

Been here twice and it didn't taste like the Harold's in Chicago at all. I don't plan to go back, ever.

The food is good, but the customer service is HORRIBLE-which makes it not worth the extremely long wait.

I've been 3 times now and have enjoyed every meal. My mom lives in Indiana and now it's a must…read morestop. Last time I tried turkey chops for the first time and they were delicious, moist and flavorful. The yams are always on point and so is the Mac and cheese. A little too much juice in the serving of greens but other than that no complaints.

GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME! I waited about 15-20 minutes for two dinners and it was worth every minute!…read moreThe sheer amount of food you get is worth the price as well. Each dinner easily could feed two people! CONS: 1. The corn muffins were a bit dry/overcooked and were more savory than sweet like I'm used to. (Still tasted good though) 2. The mac and cheese was a bit drier than what I was expecting but still had a good flavor! PROS: 1. Rib tips/bbq sauce had a great smoky and sweet flavor! It was also super tender. 2. Smothered cabbage and potatoes were simple and flavorful. The gravy wasn't too salty or super thick. 3. Catfish was bomb! They have a variety of lemon peppers to choose from and I was recommended the chipotle lemon pepper. It was flaky, moist, and had a good crunch! 4. SO MUCH FOOD! 5. Very kind staff :) Overall, great experience and definitely will be coming back!

We were in the neighborhood and stopped by Byrd's after seeing all of the other wonderful Yelp…read morereviews for this place. We went on a random afternoon, there were a couple of other guests there. Our order was taken right away, staff was friendly. We both ended up getting the tenders combo, which was very filling. At first, we wondering if two tenders would be filling enough - but these tenders are huge!! You can taste the difference in them as well, as they are Halal. You taste the freshness right away. Anyway, the tenders combo comes with two tenders, toast, a nice portion of potato salad, fries, a sauce, and pickles. Ranch is extra. Drinks are 99 cents! My brother's only complaint is that he doesn't like his food touching and would've liked that the potato salad not touch the fries mentioning that for my fellow picky people. Back to the food. The tenders were super crispy, spice level was really good. Fries were also really crispy and fresh. Mac and cheese portion was also very big, it can definitely be shared or even just an entree if you add a tender on it. This is a nice addition to the community, although it is a chain restaurant, the quality is very high. The food is very noticeably fresh and it's not greasy or doesn't make you feel bad like other spots might. I recommend you give Byrd's a try!

I had been wanting to try this place out and finally had the time to stop by. I ordered my chicken…read moresandwich mild and it had a pretty good kick. The chicken was juicy not dry at all, coleslaw and pickles on there were good. The fries were ok and fried pickles were ok.
