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.

    Our first visit to this fabulous restaurant ‼️ It did not disappoint and all the food was outstanding 👌. We both ordered a chicken meal; my side was mac-n-cheese and my husband's side was red beans and rice ‼️ Both sides were unbelievably great. Service was top notch, great restaurant setting and we ate at an earlier hour so there wasn't a crowd. Perfect all around.

    Food is quality and quantity at a very reasonable price. Authentic southern food. Place is a tad small for the popularity of this place so reservations although helpful, will not guarantee being seated within the first 10-15 minutes

    Some of the best darn food I have had in years. The fried chicken, gumbo, potato salad and corn bread was so good. Service was good as well but be prepared to wait on your food since it is fresh.

    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!
