I highly recommend the chicken tenders, the best tenders hands down. The prices are very reasonable especially in today's economy. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall in downtown Gaffney but well worth a visit.

This was the night I cashed in my fantasy football win for a night out with my husband, and I was…read morereally hoping we had found a new place close to home that we could visit often. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing. I started with a Texas margarita, which was terrible and way too strong. I figured, no worries, I've had worse! My husband ordered a whiskey sour, which was also incredibly strong. He finished it and ordered another, but the second one was just as strong. For dinner, my husband ordered the 12 oz. ribeye. Unfortunately, after pulling out all the gristle, he may have been left with about 4 oz. of very thin steak. The flavor was good, though, and he said his sides were good, as was the chicken dip we ordered as an appetizer. I ordered the flounder, and unfortunately, it was terrible. It was very mushy and tasted like it had been frozen. The fries were good, though! I will say that our server was super nice and attentive, and the pineapple upside-down cake martini was absolutely delicious! That was definitely the highlight of the meal. I also want to mention that the restaurant is extremely dark inside, which made the overall atmosphere less enjoyable for us. All in all, it was a disappointing experience for what was supposed to be a special celebration of my fantasy football win. I had really high hopes because the menu sounded fantastic and the location is so convenient for us. That said, I can make the best of just about any situation when I'm with my husband, and we still had our time together. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I'm not sure this will become the regular spot I was hoping it would be. Just my two cents

Went in for dinner on a Thursday & got the turkey dinner specials. There was SO MUCH FOOD for…read more10.99. We got a very generous portion of turkey, some dressing and two additional sides. I ended up with two meals. I elected for the sweet potato casserole & mac and cheese, along with a dinner roll. Hubby got a baked potato & green beans. You order at the counter, but food is delivered to the table. It was out super quick & nice and hot. Two not so greats, the green beans were canned and basically flavorless. The iced tea has a bit of an odd aftertaste, not very pleasant. I'll skip that next time we visit.

Stopped on a road trip for an early dinner. First impression wasn't very good. Needed a bathroom…read moreand it wasn't very clean including sticky floors. Having never been I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices and let my wife order for us while I found a table. The floors were sticky, the table was stick, and some moron was on their phone using speaker phone. My wife ordered two Philly Cheesesteaks making one a 'jumbo' to include onion rings, fries, and a drink. Service was friendly & helpful for us newcomers and the food was delivered quickly by the friendly staff. So as much as I was concerned about sticky floors and all that, the food really was delicious. The cheesesteaks seemed to be more bun than meat, but honestly it was a perfect balance of meat, cheese, grilled onion AND a PERFECTLY crispy AND soft bun. The sandwich truly was magnificent and really well balanced/proportioned. I thought the rings were a bit under cooked, but I was fooled again! Onion was soft, well cooked, and flavorful. Fried were definitely undercooked but I don't generally eat French fries so all good. Cole Slaw was middle of the road. I struggle with a rating but sticky floors, sticky table along with a few environmental things really drag down my overall perception. Friendly/competent staff and an excellent sandwich will hold a steady rating of three. Would I eat there again? It is on of the few unique non-chains in the area and I know what to expect going in. So if I need to stop on the area, I'd more than likely stop again thanks to staff and food!

Yes, Harold's was featured on Diners Dives and Drive-ins and I've had it bookmarked since then. I…read morerarely get this far off the interstate but today, we're passing through Gaffney downtown and it's dinnertime and I figured, let's do it! Surprisingly empty on a Thursday evening, I was welcomed by the two ladies working and I took a seat. My drink and food order was taken and my cup of sweet tea arrived a moment later. The chiliburger plate with fries was the special dinner of the day. Two burger buns loaded with their chili and a big pile of fries. The chiliburger is halfway between "Sloppy Joe" and "Meatball Sub" and it's delicious. This was a good portion, very inexpensive, very filling. I enjoyed it very much!

While on a road trip today, my daughter-in law and I stopped by Harold's Restaurant after spotting…read morea sign along the interstate. It advertised the location as one visited by celebrity foodie Guy Fieri, which piqued our interest enough to give it a try. When we arrived, we learned that Guy had actually stopped by years ago. Unfortunately, the waitress we spoke with wasn't familiar with his visit or what dish had earned his attention it was before her time. Stepping inside felt like walking straight into the 1960s: the décor, the atmosphere, even the energy gave off vintage diner vibes. The waitress greeted us with a smile, but seemed somewhat puzzled, especially when we asked about substituting fries on one of the menu items. She informed us plainly that no substitutions were allowed. My daughter-in-law and I both ordered the chili burger, which ended up tasting more like a sloppy Joe. The burger itself was thin, greasy, and reminiscent of something you'd find in a kids' meal. That said, the restaurant was clean, both the dining area and the restroom, and service was impressively fast. There's also a bar tucked away near the back by the restrooms. All in all, I was expecting something more memorable, especially given the celebrity endorsement. While the menu does offer many inexpensive options, the experience didn't live up to the hype for me. Harold's isn't a place I'll make a point to revisit.

Well; I just got a hamburger steak w/grilled onions,fries, bread, and a free ice tea. This place is…read moretake out only joint! There is no indoor or outdoor seating at all! It really doesn't look like a classy upscale restaurant at all! As a matter of fact I have driven my car past here probably a hundred times last year.from my car this looked more like a storage building than anything else! Why did I give this place 5 stars? Everything that you order is freshly cooked! My hamburger steak was not from a frozen patty. It was hand patted in front of me ! I was looking through the front window. Where can you get an old fashioned hamburger steak around Gaffney S.C.? Nowhere! The aroma of food being cooked on a flatiron grill could be smelled in their parking lot! And had a hypnotic effect on my empty stomach! Please refer to my photos. My food was cooked perfectly! My free ice tea was on target! There was a good amount of food for my buck and I loved it! They had to really produce a great meal since there was no place to eat! And guess what? They crossed my finish line with flying colors! Will I come back here? Yes! In a skinny minute! I highly recommend this place for to go food! You can also eat in your car!
