We stumbled upon Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken while exploring New Orleans, and I'm so glad we…read moredid! The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

I've traveled alot in the…read moresouth for work and driven to and from FL TX and CA and this is one of those places you hear about and figure you have to visit. Well I visited and MAN did I enjoy the spicy fried chicken. The crunchy exterior, juicy meat and hearty sides following by a slice of perfect pie washed down by a beverage of your choose your choice-choo-choosing makes it evident why the chicken crossed the road- to get to Gus's You order at the counter and in my case, take a seat and enjoy one of the many tables in an open seating area it lens itself from one person table, top to multiple people in larger parties. You sit and chill and it's brought out to your table which I think is a nice touch of customer service. What happens next is nothing short of Magic. This isn't Gus's county, famous or city, famous municipality, famous state, famous, or even region famous chicken: it's Gus's world famous fried chicken.

I'll take it every time! I also ordered the jumbo shrimp platter, and it was plentiful and very well seasoned. The sides weren't my favorite, but the sweet potatoes were definitely a winner. The vibe was another highlight. The lively atmosphere was another winner for me. I loved the R&b music, and the service was great. Overall, Willie Mae's is definitely a spot I'd recommend, especially if you're craving a good bowl of gumbo!

Caleb our server was great and made some good recommendations since it was our first time. Now...let's get to the food & drinks Taste of New Orleans 1/4 chicken - white meat with green beans, yams & Mac and cheese 6/10: the breading on the chicken was light and airy- almost tempura like. But on my breast there was more breading than meat. The green beans had good flavor but too many onions for my liking. The yams were sweet and had a nice flavor to them. The Mac and cheese was alright, nothing special in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of the cornbread, it was a little dry to me. Sitting on the front porch 8/10: nice portion size and the overall flavor was really good. Gumbo 9/10: excellent flavor and lots of seafood. Just really good overall. I would get it again. Peach cobbler 8/10: get flavor crust was very crispy. The peach to crust ratio was decent I did get the ice cream on the side and that was pretty good. Catfish taste of New Orleans with butter beans, green beans and Mac and cheese 7/10: Good flavor on everything and the catfish was fried hard how they like it. Not a fan that there was more beans than rice in the butter beans with rice. Chicken and watermelon tini 10/10: flavor was really good and surprisingly it didn't taste like chicken.

Voodoo Chicken & Daiquiris - New Orleans…read more With so much legendary fried chicken in New Orleans, this place has no business being as good as it is--but it absolutely holds its own. The chicken was fresh, crispy, and packed with crunch. The breading had great texture and stayed crisp all the way through. It's not trying to reinvent fried chicken; it just executes it well. One thing to know before you go: unlike many chicken spots, you can't order individual pieces. The menu starts with a 2-piece meal for $14.99, which includes fries and a biscuit. Not exactly a bargain, but portions are fair for the French Quarter where everything comes with a tourist tax. The atmosphere is loud, colorful, and over-the-top New Orleans. Neon lights, daiquiri machines, and a cotton-candy-cloud ceiling make it impossible to miss. This review is strictly about the chicken. I'm not a fan of the super-sugary daiquiris, so I can't speak much to the drinks. But if you're wandering the French Quarter craving fried chicken, Voodoo deserves consideration even among the city's stiff competition. Worth ordering: Crispy fried chicken meal Skip if: You're looking for cheap eats or just want a single piece of chicken. Overall: Solid fried chicken with excellent crunch in a fun French Quarter setting.

The chicken tenders were delicious and, best of all, they were not skimpy at all. They were big, nice-sized tenders, and the combo was only about $9.99, which I thought was a great price for the amount and quality of food. The atmosphere is very casual, especially being on Canal Street with the doors open, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. The cashiers greeted me when I walked in, took my order, gave me a number, and I sat down while they prepared my food. They brought the meal to my table when it was ready, which was nice. They also have daiquiris, so that's another option if you're looking for something to enjoy with your meal. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures this time. I was too hungry and completely forgot! But trust me, the food was good, the portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth going back. If you're visiting New Orleans, especially as a tourist looking for some good, reasonably priced food, I'd say give Willy's Chicken Shack a try!

Willie's Chicken Shack - New Orleans…read more If you've walked through the French Quarter, you've seen Willie's. It's everywhere. The formula is simple: fried chicken, frozen daiquiris, neon lights, and hungry tourists. Like Voodoo, you can't order individual pieces of chicken. Meals start at $13.99 for a 2-piece dark meat combo or $14.99 for a 2-piece white meat combo, both served with fries and a biscuit. The chicken arrived fresh, hot, and crispy. The crunch was definitely there, and everything tasted like it had just come out of the fryer. The problem wasn't texture--it was flavor. The seasoning felt pretty light, leaving the chicken tasting a little plain compared to some of the better fried chicken options around town. The biggest comparison is against Voodoo Chicken & Daiquiris. Both have nearly identical menus and concepts, but Voodoo gets the edge for me. Their cross-cut fries are better, the atmosphere is more unique, and the chicken had a little more flavor overall. That doesn't mean Willie's is bad. If you're exploring the Quarter and need a quick fried chicken fix, it'll absolutely get the job done. It just didn't stand out in a city loaded with incredible fried chicken. As for the daiquiris, I didn't try them. Frozen sugary cocktails aren't really my thing, so this review is strictly about the food. Worth ordering: 2-piece chicken meal if you're hungry and nearby. Best part: Fresh, hot chicken with a solid crunch. Needs improvement: More seasoning and flavor in the breading. Compared to Voodoo: Slightly behind in both food and atmosphere. Overall: A decent French Quarter fried chicken stop, but not one I'd go out of my way to revisit when there are stronger options nearby.

I was not a fan of the sauce so I'm glad I got it on the side, but I did love the spiciness of the chicken. The Cole Slaw was meh, kind of dry.
