Willie's Chicken Shack

We arrived later than expected to New Orleans and this was one of the only restaurants open so we went to check it out.There was no wait around midnight, the food was brought out freshly cooked and quickly.We ordered a 2 piece dark meat and a drink each for 3 people and the total was around $65 so a bit steep for what you're getting BUT it was delicious. Dropped a star because of this.The chicken breading was tasty, the meat itself was juicy. My favorite was the honey biscuit and it came with fries.

What a great way to end the night on Bourbon Street!A small group of friends and I visited Bourbon Street for a bachelor party and we ended most of our nights with some Willie's Chicken. It was pretty dang tasty!We all just ordered a bunch of wings and fries and we devoured it. After placing the orders, it didn't take too long to get our food, which was great.Overall, I am definitely going back to Willie's when I'm in NO again!

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered the Krispy Wings, 3-Piece Cajun Tenders, and the Seafood Platter. The batter on the chicken and catfish were very flavorful. The shrimp, not so much, I needed to rely on the sauces to enjoy my shrimp. Overall, all the meats were a decent size, very crispy, and enjoyable. The biscuit was ok, very crumby and light on the honey. We also ordered the Mango daiquiri and the Hurricane Mix daiquiri. Both were very flavorful, but the Hurricane was probably the best one.The staff are fast and friendly. Food does take a little while to come, but that's because they don't make it until you order it so it comes out crazy hot. The restaurant has a clean restroom that requires a code to get in. The surrounding areas can get a little crazy because you got drunk people coming in trying to use the restroom, then asking you if you know the code to get in lol.

Great jambalaya! Wanted to try the red beans and rice and chicken but it was all sold out. They also have a pizza and wings place next door. Very festive interior with cool things and prints pasted all over the walls. Wide selection of daiquiris also available. Service was also very quick. Definitely recommended!

Another night in NOLA which means it's time to try a new food spot. Earlier today I was over on Canal and passed by Willie's. The smell itself drew me in and I decided at that moment that I was coming back. LoL!!!!Willie's sits right on the strip so it's super easy to find. The front was totally open and there were a few tables outside on the sidewalk. As the strip is super active, sitting outside would be dope if you wanted to people watch. LoL. Walking up to the counter, each register had a cashier so the line was running smoothly. Taking a moment to review the menu, it was as one would anticipate; simple, straightforward, and one dimensional. The highlight of Willie's definitely appears to be the Daiquiri' as there are many options. I decided on the 3pc Cajun Tender Combo which comes with Fries and a Honey Biscuit. I also added a side of Red Beans and Rice. I mean, it is NOLA so I had to do it. I placed my order. Received my number. And took a seat to await my order. The restaurant was clean and vibrant. The yellow and red throughout the restaurant really set an upbeat tone that pairs well with the neon lights and vibrant colors of the Daiquiris. Once my order was ready, it was delivered to the table and I was good to go. Let's talk the Food:Biscuit - Simple. Buttery. Crunchy around the bottom edges. Soft in the middle. Nothing special to note. Reminds me of a biscuit from Church's. I'll say 7/10. Tenders - Big. Juicy. Crunchy on the outside. Well seasoned. That's it. That's all I got. . I'll say 5/10. Fries - Well Seasoned. Crunchy. I'll say 7/10. Red Beans and Rice - Now hear me out. I love a good RB&R and these were good. There were way more beans than there was rice, which is ideal for this kind of dish. They weren't too spicy. They were flavored well and the beans were tender. You can definitely tell they were slow simmered. I'll say 8/10. Now... hear me out! The food wasn't bad but for $25.00, chileeeeeeeeeeee. No ma'am, No sir. Lemme go to the chicken spot for half the price. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I won't maybe go again if I want a lil piece of a tender. But at $13 for the Combo and $8 for the RB&R... imma need a coupon or something. Ok, Ok. In all seriousness, if you're in the area, go for the experience. *P. S. For my Up North people, Willie's puts me in the mindset of our "New York Fried Chicken" spots that be on the strip in the hood..

The chicken was so good and always fresh to order. Can't go wrong with chicken, fries and a sweet biscuit. Chicken was very juicy and the fries were perfectly cooked just enough crisp for the crunch but not hard. The service was quick and friendly staff. The ambiance was cool but turnt because you can also listen to music and drink .

I got the Cajun tender meal, and I'm not joking, these are some of the BEST chicken tenders I've ever had. They have the smallest amount of kick, the flavor is perfect, and they were tender and juicy. That honey biscuit was moist and soft, and the honey and butter weren't overpowering. The meal also came with some sort of creamy orange sauce, which complemented it all perfectly.They have a large selection of frozen alcohol drinks and New Orleans is open container, so they're perfect for walking around a hot summer day. I got the hurricane which was fruit punch flavored, and it was strong and had the right consistency.It's definitely a casual place, and the decor is fun!

servers are are rude as shit . He told me "fuck no" when I asked for a drink aka sprite!

Listen! When I tell you, I probably eater hear about 5 to 7 times and I have never had a support experience! Every single time chicken is fresh, it's on point fries are fresh, Customer Service never lacking, the restaurants always clean! If you like fried chicken, please try willies you won't be disappointed! And they have some really really good daiquiris that's pretty darn strong, !

Fresh food, piping hot. Not overly seasoned. Wasn't a fan of the fries, but the shrimp and catfish was good. Service was quick and fast. You can't use the bathroom without the combination. They print the combination on the bottom of the receipt. They also have daiquiris as well. Ambiance was fine for a fast food spot on Canal street. It was bright with plenty of seating. Asked for Jambalaya and it definitely tasted like dirty rice.
