Willie Mae’s

We waited so long for our food and it was just ok. Felt like the hype was overrated and expensive. Ended up going to Mothers. Wish I could say I’d be willing to try this place again but I’m not so sure. It’s something when you’re paying a lot for food and the service is sour AND slow. Stank attitudes should not be working front of the house even in food halls. I can say I’ve had it, not sure there’s more to say than that.

Literally cannot and will not ever eat fried chicken again if its not Willie Mae’s. This location was great- food was fresh, hot & mouth watering. The staff is super nice, helpful and fun too. 10/10 will recommend and will have to come back to NOLA just for the fried chicken at Willie Mae’s

A little overrated…

Got here as soon as they opened on a Monday and got in as one of the first guests.
Ordered the 3 piece fried chicken, chicken sandwich, macaroni and cheese and the corn bread.

Chicken was very crispy and parts of it was very moist, but some parts a little dry.

A solid 7.6 out of 10

This is located inside the Phythian Market towards the back of the building. Service was terribly slow. There was literally only 1 cook in the kitchen. We came for lunch and there were 3 people ahead of us, but we waited 30 minutes for our food. Service was so slow that went and got a drink a bat 1908. The chicken sandwich was ah-mazing!! Would rate this 5 stars, but based on the slow service I rated 4. They need to hire more workers.

Good chicken and sides. I would love to have gone to the Willie Maes Scotch House, but glad I got to try this at the market. The sides were also very good. We had yams and butter beans. The chicken is fried fresh, so be prepared to wait.
