Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Willie Mae's NOLA offers a delightful dining experience with "unbelievably delicious" food, exceptional hospitality, and a relaxed ambiance. The fried chicken is often praised as the "best in New Orleans," and the gumbo is a highlight. While service is friendly, the new location is still refining operations. Highly recommended for traditional Southern flavors.

    Food was excellent. Reasonable prices. All the staff were very pleasant. Service was good - it was very busy, so just a little bit slow, but still good. Will definitely go back.

    Chicken is amazing!! They are still working out a few things. Person sitting tables seemed lost. Had to wait 20 minutes and had reservations. Had come back because night before ran out of chicken and we wanted to try!! But staff friendly and helpful. Food was perfect!

    The wait staff was attentive, food came out in a timely manner, except the shrimp etouffe and grits took longer but was worth the wait. Pricey, but a great place for apps and cocktails
