Ten out of ten, no notes!Listen, if you want it hot, fresh, and seasoned, this is the place to be. I've never seen so many people chewing away happily in blissful silence in one place. The food is cooked to order so there's a bit of a wait but it's definitely worth it. While you're waiting, grab an adult slushy and have yourself a good night! I love it here and will definitely be back.

Not what I expected. The catfish was a good serving size, fried, but lacked flavor. That was disappointing. I expected more flavor.The biscuits were delicious. I love the honey butter on top.The fries were ok. They would have been better if they were crispier.On the other hand my husband got the fried chicken and he thought it was delicious. It was crispy, moist, and flavorful. I tried it and it was really good. They should have used the same flavoring with the cat fish. I even tried hot sauce on it and that didn't work.If you are looking for a good size chicken serving get the breast and wing. The breast was huge, the wing was tiny.I would not recommend the cat fish.

Willie's Chicken Shack is alright with me!! The fried chicken tenders and the sweet buttery biscuits will have you dancing in your seat! The chicken tenders are more like a whole fried chicken breast and they win for that! There are lots of menu options but I decided to keep it simple. They also have the famous slushies here if that's something that you're into! Just like most of the places in Nawlins', the prices here are reasonable! The vibe at Willies is vibing! What's better than jamming to hip hop and sitting by a picture of lil Wayne while you devour your food? Not much. The employees here are also a vibe! Everyone was friendly and seemed to enjoy working there! Lots of good eats and photo ops at this location!! I'll be back if I'm in the area again!!

Came here to grab some drinks. They have plenty of space and the food smells great. I got a frozen drink and it tasted good. Love the decor of the venue.

Nicest Willie's in NOLA! I didn't catch his name, but there was a wonderfully friendly person managing the front register at this Willies. I'm kicking myself for not asking, but he was so helpful. Here's how.... I needed to put in an order that could feed 13 people, 2 of which were vegetarians. This gentleman put together the *ULTIMATE* order for 13 people. It worked out perfect and we got to taste a bunch of their offerings.My favorite of all the options was the Chicken Tenders. Each order gets you 3 pieces. Their are cajun-style fried strips, served with fries, that include a honey glazed biscuit and one dipping sauce.PRO-TIP: The dipping sauce options are: Ranch, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Tartar Sauce, Ketchup, and Hot Sauce. You can always ask for more, but some do have a small fee.

So its a good quick bite if you are visiting Bourbon street or frenchmen street in New orleans- Stays open till late- Food is good for snacking-Fries were great. Will always see traffic in and out of it. Fried chicken was among good ones in fast food joints.

Artistic murals adorn this place all over the walls. It's very vibrant! And creates a cool ambiance. The atmosphere is equally matched with the tender chicken pieces done to perfection and tastes fresh.Kids had a good time eating here.The service was ok, and we had no issues.

Came to Willie's for a late night meal after leaving a bar nearby in the Frenchmen area. This was my first time trying as I heard it is a NOLA staple. I got the Cajun wings (since that was all they had left for the night) and it came with a biscuit. It took a while for our food to come out because it was busy even at 1am. I ordered a daiquiri which was really delicious. The chicken did not disappoint! It was so good! I'd definitely go again when in NOLA!

Literally one of my best experiences in NOLA. Donte - one of the employees - was excellent in service and made me feel like family. His hospitality was a reflection of the southern hospitality I continue to experience in this city. Food is amazing and hits the spot. Drinks do damage. Don't think about - come thru.
