Willies Chicken Shack

Every time I'm in New Orleans, Willie's Chicken Shack is a must-stop! Last time, I had the fried fish, which was amazing, but this time, I had to try the chicken--and it did not disappoint! Crispy, well-seasoned, and fresh, it might just be my new favorite.Fast and prompt is the service. The location off Canal is always busy, but that's part of the charm--great food, good vibes, and a lively atmosphere. And let's not forget the daiquiris! Hands down my favorite spot to grab one in the city. If you're looking for a true NOLA experience, this is it!Would definitely recommend and will be back again!#NOLAeats #FriedChicken #DaiquiriTime #FoodieApproved

Super good chiken definitely coming back to this spot try it guys better than Popeyes

Ready to get my drink on I stopped at Willie's to get a daiquiri but instead discovered the crispiest chicken ever!!! I mean ever... I didnt know that chicken could get crisper then Church's chicken but NO it's Willie's. And the meal came with a biscuit and that right there is the BEST BISCUIT IVE EVER HAD. The best biscuit you've had doesn't compare to this place. I went back and got more and I'm eating them all myself. If I could give it 6 I would. ONLY IN NEW ORLEANS btw

Catfish was ok. Didn't enjoy the fries. Chicken tenders weren't bad, I would recommend.

After a lot of walking in the area, this chicken place is always a great place for good well seasoned chicken and a biscuit. The chicken is hot, a little greasy but good. The fries are delicious and crisp. I would not recommend the fish. It tasted really fish and wasn't good.

The biscuit was very good. The red beans and rice where the fried chicken was fine. The overly sugary daiquiris in the "cockcup" fit the ghetto environment and hillbilly ghetto clientele...Fairly low brow, executed pretty poorly for a fast food restaurant. However, in New Orleans, it is par for the degenerate crowd passing through looking to get black out drunk! Wouldn't waste my time, even at one in the morning ....

Oh Hellll Yeaaaaa! From a Texas Girl, I'm just gonna tell y'all, this place does it right!!! BISCUIT, BISCUIT, BISCUIT!! Just buy an extra!! You'll be glad you did! They are the perfect blend of savory & sweet!! Melt in your mouth delicious! Buy a whole damn box if your trying to sober up! The Buffalo drumettes were amazing but I didn't care for the flats! The chicken breast was flavorful, juicy, and had a perfect crust & crisp!! It could've been a meal by itself! OMG!!Tenders were large and juicy! My teen boys loved them and were satisfied with 3 tenders!French fries were perfection! Crispy outside and soft and fluffy in the inside. I forgot to take pics because were hangry when we got here. ‍

So small, so unassuming, so delicious~ My mom and I were trying to find somewhere to stop for lunch and check some things off our NOLA bucket list and the chicken was one of the things we wanted to try. We got 3 pc of the chicken tender, the biscuit ,and the jambalaya! We should have ordered more because the chicken tender tore like a piece of paper and was juicy on the inside and crispy. The jambalaya is thicker and drier than others we have ordered but the taste was pretty decent for the price! We didn't try any of the drinks and the service is pretty curt, pretty standard from what I'd expect from a more fast-food chain-style restaurant. Food came out pretty fast so we didn't really have a problem, we did our own thing mostly, so that seems like the vibe. The biscuit was savory and sweet so I nice 'desert-ish' end to the meal.When you order food, you get a reciept, and on the bottom is the bathroom code. The bathrooms were pretty clean in comparison to some of the more public bathrooms in NOLA. Overall, great stop! Come here for the chicken, I probably would go to Voodoo chicken for the drinks but next round of NOLA I'm definitely gonna do an all-out taste test to determine the king frozen daiquiri spot between Voodoo Chicken, Willies Chicken Shack and Fat Tuesday.May the odds ever be in your flavor,

This location is right by the French Market. I stayed in the French Quarter the week I visited so I stopped by to give me a try. My immediate thought was how funny the staff was. They really made "waiting for chicken" fun lol. We got our food to go since we were about a minute walk from our hotel. Now, the chicken was good, but the sides were not the greatest. In fact, I stopped eating the sides about 2-3 bites in. Chicken went down just fine though lol. I wouldn't stop by again when I head back to NOLA. There are way better options out there.

This is a greatest friend chicken joint in New Orleans French Quarter! I highly recommend stopping by one of many locations but the best location in my opinion is on Decatur Street.
