The Story Of Our Harold’s #25

The Story Of Our Harold’s #25
Welcome to our family-owned and operated establishment! Since 2010, we've been dedicated to bringing our community a unique Chicago-style, family-friendly vibe. We started with our first restaurant in Homewood gifted by God and with family support, aiming to offer more than the average Harold's.

Over the years, we've been blessed to grow and evolve, opening two additional locations in South Holland and Olympia Fields, including a dine-in experience with a bar and grill. We also host various events and amenities such as karaoke nights, DJs, Brunches, and more. As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we're proud to continue serving and satisfying the South Suburbs with the same passion and dedication that started it all.
