Food was delicious. Fresh & hot as it should be! The cooks were nice & they had that award winning smile I love to see! This was my first visit so My Darling Daughter placed the order for me. I love the coleslaw on the sandwich-it gave it a good balance.... It's a nice spot-(it's cold wear a sweater) It's also in the plaza where I can shop other stores I'll be back to try different flavors & sides Lastly I wish they had a futon in there I was so full, I needed a nap-hence I drove 40 minutes to get over there Hence we need one near Smyrna/Mableton..... read more

Okay so I went to trader Joe's and instead of getting a hamburger or somewhere I decided to try this new chicken place. It's only been there for 2 years. So I ordered the lemon pepper chili sandwich which is like the third hottest but not crazy hot. It has a nice flavor to it but it's really really salty. They said that they make the coleslaw in house which is great and it's pretty tasty. I think the coolest thing is that they actually go from raw chicken to cook chicken when you order. So it might behoove you to order ahead of time or you'll be sitting there waiting for your chicken to cook. The place was empty at 5:47 on a Saturday. Plenty of place to sit very colorful walls but it was freezing. There was no way I could have sat down and ate. So here I am eating in my car and voice texting to you. The chef and the girl who took my order were very nice. I hope I don't get high blood pressure from all this salt. read more

Howlin is definitely right!! If this is your first time warning !!!the chicken is heavily seasoned!! Like your first bite of food will be a good layer of seasoning dust before you even get to the meat!! Went in after my Pilates class because now it's time to break the fast and eat!!! Was greeted with a friendly hello. Not too busy for 3:30 pm Monday. Had customers already eating and the food looked good. Ordered their chicken wing meal. Comes with a side. I choose baked beans. Had the sweet mild. The flavor of the season was good. Chicken cooked well. Juicy not dry. But just so much seasoning !! I had dust of seasoning in my lips after a few bites? lol! Next time I will say definitely light on all the shaking !! But the baked beans!!!! That was soooooooo good. And their apple pies!! Like how McDonald used to be. Soooooo good. Not pictures because I devoted the one I ordered. Next time getting 4!!! Definitely will try another side with wings ( less seasoning) for sure. read more

I ordered on the app. They never asked for payment. I called the store 11 times to see if they got my order and how to pay because my child is picking it up. It continues to send be to generic support line. Bad bad bad. Stores that don't allow you to speak to them is bad customer service. Unacceptable. This store won't be in business long. read more

Great sandwiches. Came in on a Tuesday and JP showed me the BOGO sandwich deal. Loved it! Recommend

Asher was so kind and his service was really good. He ended up making the food with love which was really helpful. what a kind soul read more

This place is 100% no frills. They have chicken fingers - on toast, on a bun, or on a salad. And they are excellent. I had a tender plate with fries and "kinda hot" sauce. I wouldn't even call that mild, but it was very tasty. Give it a try, I think you'll like it too. read more

Sweet Heat is the way to go... and honestly I'm a traditionalist - chicken tenders. I could switch up the sides but mostly get fries...coleslaw is good - little too creamy for me. Mac n cheese is perfect for kids who don't want to eat anything else but Mac n cheese... Go there Seriously try it read more

I saw many posts on Instagram about Howlin Willy's Hot Chicken and happened upon this location as I was going to Trader Joe's. Took the opportunity to stop in and share a 3 piece tender meal with macaroni and cheese with my wife as a snack. We tried the sweet heat style which was perfect for us. Not too hot with little sweet. The tenders were fried to perfection!! Not too crisp and juicy inside! Very well seasoned and great for dipping. We tried two different sauces and they added the perfect flavor to our tenders. The Mac and cheese is made daily and I enjoyed that as well. The cheese sauce was great and macaroni noodles were cooked just right. This is not that box brand of Mac and cheese as their sauce hits differently. For dessert we tried a fried apple pie and I absolutely loved this with cinnamon sugar sprinkled over the entire pie. It was hot and good! The woman that served us at the counter was very helpful with recommendations of what to eat and checked on us while we ate. You walk in and order at the counter and they can bring your order to the table. The restaurant is cheerfully decorated and feels very relaxed. I will return here for the fried apple pie as well as trying their chicken sandwich. read more

The location in Hapeville was so terrible, I had to find a different location on yelp just to speak my piece. Service was horrible, barely noone in the establishment, yet they're slow walking with attitudes to serve the one customer in the store. Kind of pathetic, and the store smelled. They dont even know how to work their own instagram promos. Howlin' Willy's in Hapeville, you suck. Would rate 0/5 if I could. Do better. read more

Service was Great, Charles is and was top of the line in the customer service. The food was solid, i left feeling like a pig after eating in the trough but id say i would come back. Super cheap too, for me and my wife to eat only $16. can't get that anywhere. the mexican side of willy's needs to take notes. read more

Howlin' Willy's was excellent. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly (fresh to order), with great heat and seasoning. Portions were solid, service was friendly, and the food came out fresh. Definitely worth coming back for. read more

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. That classic chicken sandwich with sweet heat flavor was absolutely amazing!!!! Chick-a-who? Had I known it was so good I would have taken better photos. My pictures does it no justice. Also, try the apple pies and I promise you will not regret it. The customer service was outstanding as well. Really nice group of people. Can't wait to go back. read more

Not really welcoming, food extremely underwhelming. The photos online show different foods upon served? (Fries???) not worth at all.

The chicken is really veiny and not good at all. The service is kind but the chicken is just not worth it at all and also stains your skin with the amount of spice on the outside read more

Pretty good. Very similar to other hot chicken locations. Good selection of sides and combos. I would definitely go again.

Great chicken sandwiches if you like spicy chicken. Probably better if you eat in when fresh but both times we took home.

I have been to many of these new hot chicken restaurants, and Howlin' Willy's is better than most. The place is small and simple in its decor, but it was clean, and the food was fresh. If there was one drawback, the cashier basically played on his phone when he was waiting for orders. read more

Amazing fries, great quality tenders, and a taste that reminds me of home (Nashville!!!) The only thing that's missing for me is having blue cheese as an optional dipping sauce and perhaps a more complexly-profiled 'Howlin' flavor. While I am loyal to Princes Hot Chicken in TN, I have forced my husband to come to Howlin Willy's with me at least 3 times this month. Also, don't take John V's review too heavily... they sell shakes that beat the heat, and I was even given a free little cup while trying to conquer the hottest flavor! read more

Just simply not very good. The "howlin" wings are spicy but NO chicken flavor. They aren't too hot to eat, but soaked in greasy bread crumbs. To show how unprepared they are for those who may not like as much spice -- they don't even sell milk. SAD new addition to the neighborhood. read more

Decided to try it out via a couple of their chicken tenders. The chicken was good and juicy and fresh; however, there wasn't a whole lot of flavor to it, and it was incredibly salty. Way too much salt on that chicken..... read more

Howlin' SHRINKFLATION' Hot Chicken I was shocked at how bad the portion sizes are based on cost of food. The sandwich is a little larger than a slider. I had the two chicken sandwiches, fries, Mac and Cheese and Beans and still left hungry. Go to Zaxby's and you will at least get a sizable portion. It's unfortunate as the chicken is good but not worth the return on investment. The fries come in a small container and are about the size of a McDonald's small fry that is filled by a stingy 'Kamala' that 'supposedly' worked the fryer in the '80s. read more

I liked it. But too much dry seasoning on food. Staff was average. Will try again but less than Caines or Zaxbys. Think they have potential hope they kick it off. read more

Great service as always, have yet to be disappointed in anyway and been coming here for a few months now!

The food was fantastic and fresh! The staff here are friendly and greeted us as we walked in (even someone cooking in the back welcomed me!) the cashier asked for my name instead of assigning us a number like most casual places we go to. We ordered the 2 sandwich meal, and they let us get two different heat ratings since we were sharing it. The person who brought it out to us was a manager, Nick, who apologized to my fiancé and me about the wait. I told him it wasn't long at all, and after checking my receipt, the time from when I ordered to when I had my food brought to my table was around 9 minutes. I guess I didn't realize 9 minutes was a long time for these guys haha The place is clean and cool looking! When we came in, someone was painting a mural, so I'm sure it will look awesome when it's finished! Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Service was absolutely top notch! Had the willy hot wings with fries and also got a Howlin tender on the side. The rub they use on the chicken is a little sweet, a little smoky, a little tangy and all around delicious and all of the chicken was cooked perfectly. Nice and crispy crinkle fries and they have a buttermilk vinaigrette that is amazing with everything. The comeback sauce was also very good and I would choose those two and skip the ranch. My only knock would be the wings themselves are a little on the smaller side and a little fatty. Definitely affected how crispy the wings stayed but not necessarily to the point I would recommend not getting the wings. I would just say the tender would be my preference. Regarding the rub on the howling tender...I have eaten a lot of spicy food in my life but this might have been the hottest thing I've ever eaten. Hotter than the last dab in my opinion. My ears were ringing, it gave me an instant headache and I almost felt like I was hallucinating. However, if you like really spicy food you know these are good things. I would probably say skip it buttttt to each their own and the rub still has great flavor for the first 8 seconds before the unfathomable heat kicks in. read more

Had a sweet heat chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickles and had baked beans. It was delicious but a bit messy! I was smiling the whole time. Just used ten napkins. read more

My son loves this place. Food is always consistent. It's best to place order ahead of time so you don't wait.

Came here and left better than I would've ever hoped for. Nick, the manager, was very accommodating and kind. I'll definitely be coming here again, amazing service from these folks!! read more

The staff was great and me and my friends really enjoyed their chicken and apple pie. Benjamin was great as well.

Super friendly service and delicious food! Couldn't ask for more. I just wish they had a gluten free option.

Amazing chicken that you can't tell is fresh. Love the dry rub that they use as well (sweet heat my favorite). Will definitely be back!

So glad to have a place in East Cobb for a Nashville Hot Chicken fix! Streamlined menu of tenders, sandwiches, and wings with sides. Would have loved bone-in chicken line Hattie-B's but the tenders (I ordered Willy Hot) were fresh, hot, and a "true" hot spice level. Slaw was fresh but a tad heavy on the onion, IMO. Ranch seems like it is made fresh in house. They have daily specials as well. This place will definitely be added to our fast-casual rotation! read more

Tried Howlin Willys for the first time. We got the French fries with bacon and cheese. It was very good, but I like my fries crispy. The chicken tender sandwich with sweet spicy level was delicious. My husband got the wings, which I tried, and they were very meaty and also delicious. He got the Mac and cheese, which was not oily as other reviews had mentioned. Will definitely eat here again! read more

So glad to have a Howlin Willy's nearby... our 2nd time eating here in 2 weeks! Chicken is delicious...Kinda-Hot spice level was perfect for me... love the sandwich- just the Right Size and the coleslaw & pickle really "make" the sandwich with a bit of Comeback Sauce...Yum! Delicious Fried Apple Pie for dessert...Everyone working here has been so friendly & helpful...We will be regular customers! read more
