A small local film crew just happened to show up to do a commercial or something for a local politician. I did not catch his name, because i was finally walking out the door. The cheese grits were cooked perfectly, but my shrimps were small, and bland. I am not sure of the standard size used for grits, but my shrimp have definitely been much bigger compared to this place. The one gentleman with the accent that gave me my food was really sweet and apologetic. his name wasn't on the receipt since an older lady took my order, so I can't give him props like I want to.

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.

My husband got a shrimp & fish poboy with fries. The sandwich arrived piping hot! The bread was crisp and the shrimp and fish were both fried perfectly. The fries were crunchy and good. The only negative was that his sandwich had the tomato core on it. Y'all know you are supposed to throw that piece out. My daughter got a grilled cheese which was decent. Her tater tots kinda tasted like fish grease but I don't think she noticed. The STAR of the show was the turkey leg plate with cabbage! BABY! I could eat this anytime. This MF is always hittin twin! The turkey is tender and fallin off the bone. It is well seasoned. The cabbage tastes like someone Grandma been in the kitchen all day cooking them. This would be 5 starts if it wasn't for the tomato thing. Will be back!
