Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Willie Mae's NOLA offers a delightful dining experience with "unbelievably delicious" food, exceptional hospitality, and a relaxed ambiance. The fried chicken is often praised as the "best in New Orleans," and the gumbo is a highlight. While service is friendly, the new location is still refining operations. Highly recommended for traditional Southern flavors.

    First time at this new location. Love the decor and ambiance!! Fried chicken is as good as before juicy and very crispy. Gumbo was stellar and the French 75 delicious the fried shrimp was fried to perfection. The sides were not the traditional southern way of preparing but they were fine. Service was outstanding and reservations highly recommended. Overall I would say 8 out of 10

    It was Willie Mae’s at what they do best and they didn’t disappoint. The cup of gumbo was tiny but mighty. We had the 1/2 chicken (leftovers baby!) with the cabbage as the side. The cabbage was a next level experience. I find most local restaurants “Cajun- fy” foods they don’t understand with Tony’s seasoning, but this was none of that. It reminded me of home- grounded in real flavors to enhance - not to cover up. They understood the assignment and succeeded. The chicken was, obviously, fantastic. Crispy yet juicy. We arrived way too early for our reservation and the host and hostess did their best to accommodate us. We happily waited for a preferred table. Great service. I thought my cocktail was a little weak, but that was the only room for improvement. I’m still dreaming of that cabbage. I wish they’d add a veggie platter of all sides. It was too good.

    Service was slow but the food was good and the wait staff were nice. It’s a cool brunch vibe kind of spot and the cocktails were good.

    I was pleased with my meal (shrimp tacos) but the person I came with was not! It took almost 30mins for her order to come out & she was very displeased with the cheese grits, scrambled eggs, and bacon. The only thing she liked was the fried chicken! She was extremely disappointed!

    This is definitely southern fried and over the top. This chicken will make you slap your mama and run. On that note, the best damn cabbage I had. I texted my coworker in the middle of the night because it really did make me that happy.
