    We loved the ambiance and the welcoming vibe. The fried chicken was so hot, steam appeared as we tore the breast in half. It was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. The mac & cheese, butter beans and cabbage tasted amazing! The cornbread was so buttery and scrumptious. Our server Arianne, was very pleasant and kind. Thank you! We arrived from the airport and the first place, my son wanted to dine at, was Willie Mae’s Nola! I highly recommend dining here. It is the best!

    You know that a restaurant knows how to fry chicken when you can eat the meat without the skin and have it just as flavorful as the fabulous skin, and Willie Mae's has nailed that. Fabulous southern sides that taste like Sunday dinner every day. Great experience all around.

    Our experience was amazing. The menu was so well explained which helped us share so many dishes between six of us. Catfish and fried chicken were beyond delicious and we couldn't choose a favorite side because they were all delicious.
