    Frozen drinks
    Tanisha H.

    Chicken and fries were fresh.. the frozen drink I had was a mango with hurricane. Too sweet for me but it did the trick..

    Daiquiri
    Adeeva M.

    If you are on bourbon street this is the spot to grab fried chicken and a daiquiri! Perfect for a late night bite. Came in and the ladies taking orders were very nice and allowed us to taste the different daiquiris before deciding. She even mixed some flavors that were absolutely delicious! I ended up getting the mango mixed with pina colada which was so good! I ordered red beans and rice as a side and it had amazing flavor, so good. I also ordered the crispy chicken which came with a biscuit. When I tell you the chicken was cooked perfectly and it was fresh out the fryer and worth the wait. It was seasoned, crispy and delicious. The biscuit was great as well! There's plenty of space to sit down and eat. Stop by here!

    You see Willie's all over New Orleans and it's honestly pretty good. Kinda expensive for what you get but that's likely because of tourism prices. The chicken is very juicy, but also pretty greasy. The fries are average but the biscuit is really good. Overall not a bad place to stop in if you're hungry for fried chicken. Chill vibe and the workers are friendly.

    Saw a ton of these in New Orleans. .. stopped in and was pleasantly surprised. The service with a smile. The hot and super tasty fries n chicken was on point. I had skipped dinner and was looking for something that would travel back the hotel well. This hit the spot! Kitchen staff hooked up the mouthwatering chicken with fries and a biscuit. Thank you for being on every corner seemingly near Bourbon Street. It was an easy in and out with plenty of seating. I would love to see this place in Oklahoma City! Questions reach out! Respectfully, Bryan Oklahoma City

    Theres several of these in NOLA. We stopped in on the one on Bourbon; no fried chicken this time yet it looks and sounds so good! We had some of their daiquiri blends; the waitress let us sample a few to choose from. We had the mango (blue, yellow combination) which was delicious & blended really nicely so the drink wasn't too overpowering. There are plenty of places to choose from for daiquiris out here yet the customer service, price range, & size here at Willies makes it worth it.

    Okay this place is bomb. Chicken comes out super hot and crispy, fries were great, and that biscuit!!! Mmm. Loved the selection of frozen drinks - super refreshing. Had a few issues with people coming up to us asking for our credit cards / money while eating inside of the restaurant? Not necessarily a representation of the place, but just with caution. Can't wait to go back!

    The chicken is extremely good for a quick meal. My food took a little while but I was happy to know it was made fresh and not pieces that were sitting under a lamp. The fries were also good but I would pass on the biscuit; it comes covered in honey and it not a fan of the combo so I wouldn't get it again. The daiquiri was perfectly mixed and you could taste the alcohol and my server offered me samples of the different flavors. My biggest and only con was the condiment area covered in fruit flies. The hot sauce is packaged so it was safe for me to eat but I didn't want ketchup or anything else that was exposed to the flies that swarmed as I approached the condiments.

    Landrika the manager is not good representing this institution, me and my wife went there to have a bite to eat and I needed to use the restroom and I needed a code to open the door, I was unaware of that so I approached the cashier's to ask the for the code to get in the restroom and one of the cashier's was about to give m the and Landrika intervene and stopped her by saying I needed to learn our to read a the the receipt and reading was fundamental, saying all kinds of disrespectful things to me and of one the cook noticed what was going on and pulled me to the side and gave me the code. I taught she could have been professional and handled the situation differently

    Went to this place for a late night meal after doing some bar crawling tour. The chicken and fries came out hot, fresh and juicy. The service was friendly and fast. I wish they open this in California.

    You know it's good when the next day you find the chicken in your damn purse like how drunk was I?

    This is the best damn fried chicken I ever had and the biscuit even better come on this place was banging. I wish we had one in Austin to be honest they came over here all drunk as one does on Bourbon Street. They had the food in like two seconds to me like they know what's up they know you're drunk. They know you need to eat and they got you Bomb ass and it came with some ranch and some other dipping sauce that was better when I saw that fucking ranch and it was Newman's, I was like this is gonna taste disgusting but it actually tasted delicious and I did not use the Newman's because Newman's is crap.

    The food was hot and fresh. The biscuit was pretty good. Make sure you try their Willie sauce.

    Chicken strip box

    We have been here multiples times when visiting NOLA! It's definitely nothing crazy unique, but it's decent. They offer fried chicken in strips or by the piece. I really like the biscuits that come with the meal! At the end of the day, it is another fast food joint, but you get a good portion of food for what you pay for. They are open late, which is great for an after bar snack. I would consider coming back again and would recommend this to others as well.

    This a location chicken chain in New Orleans. It is good food when your tipsy or looking for a late snack. They have catfish, chicken, fries, biscuits along with a variety of daiquiri's. The place is dim yet colorful inside. The prices are affordable and the food comes with 10 mins. The biscuits are the star so good and with honey hands down the best biscuit I have had a chicken fast food place. The food had here at flavors slightly greasy. The catfish was my favorite great flavor not greasy at all. Nice stop for a quick bit there is no seating but an table to stand and eat it's different but I enjoyed this place.

    Some of the worst chicken ever! Do not recommend! It's cold in the place and the chicken is precooked.

    If you haven't been to bayou hot wings yet, drop what you're doing & go eat some fire wings man…read more This place never disappoints, and with such a large menu there's something for everyone. Personal favorites are Bayou Sweet Heat & Lemon Pepper bone-in wings, with fried pickles, onion rings, and potato salad as awesome sides. What're you waiting for??

    Long time bookmark! Adam Carola or some dude like that came here one time I think…read more I was super stressed and didn't want to interact with any humans so I got these wings to go and headed back to the hotel. I had seen some news about them at some point, I love chicken wings, and it looked good. It's take out only. Not much to see besides the menu and the pictures of Adam and some other dudes. You can see the kitchen, little shotgun style place. I asked some questions about the sauce heat levels and ordered what he equated to medium regular buffalo I think. The names are strange to me. Just say Buffalo!!! Ugh. The wings were flavored very well, I liked the sauce a lot. The fries had a nice seasoning on them as well. The packaging absolutely ruined the food. It was all soaked when I opened it. That really sucked. It was about a 15 minute ride. They packed it in a wax lined, fully sealed box, similar to an Asian food box. It simply steamed the food while I drove. Bad move guys. I could not even eat the fries, they were just mush. Wings had a slight crispness in some spots after I left them open for 20 mins or so to dehydrate. As I said, the sauce was great so I did eat the wings. The wings are probably really good I bet if they were not ruined by the packing. 3 stars for the flavor. '26 - 96

    Just, YES. We are vegetarian and the options here are SO…read moreGOOD! We ended our walking, self-directed tour of the Garden District at this restaurant and were thrilled. 1. We were desperate to cool off. Their AC was so cool and necessary during the heat wave that we had just spent a couple hours walking through. 2. This place served best rum punch I've ever had. Oh my goodness. Turning down a second one was hard!! 3. I've never had a server who appeared as invested in our order as our guy. I developed an old lady crush on this sweet man! We told him that we are both vegetarians and one is a post bariatric surgery puzzle. He was so sweet and supportive that I would return here weekly if we were local! He made sure we had what we needed. 4. We ordered the roti, two tacos (Rasta & cauliflower) with coconut rice and plantain as the sides. The tacos were both so extra, so yummy, the roti was tasty- but the sweetness on top confused me- we loved the plantain but not the rice. We'd be back in a heartbeat. I want to try every vegetarian option here!

    Food was good but please take Trinidad out of the "Trinidad street roti". There is nothing Trinidad…read moreabout it. Not a good mix with tamarind, bell peppers, cauliflower and so called roti. Beef patties were kinda weird as they tasted like they had curry or something, not too bad. This is coming from an actual Trini.
