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!

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.

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.

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.

Chicken tenders

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

Chicken strip box
Emily B.

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.

2 Chicken combo

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.

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

Staff is so Welcoming and Friendly . Enjoyed every bite Patti and Chris from Ontario Canada

I recently visited Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken on Saturday evening around 7pm, and from the…read moremoment I walked in, the place was absolutely buzzing. The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back

It was outstanding. It came dressed with pickled purple onions and horseradish cream sauce. That, with some seasoned fries, was a great meal. I love that they partner with Dong Phuong for their bread and they use Blue Plate mayo. I've seen the Dong Phuong truck dropping off bread and king cakes so I know they're 100% keeping it local. Service can be a little slow but everything is made to order.

There is both covered and exposed seating, however all of the seating is beneath the canopy of an elder oak tree. The landscaping is carefully homegrown with beautiful greenery and pretty flowering shrubs to greet you upon arrival. There's also a stage where you can enjoy live music. Once inside, you're greeted by welcoming staff who are proud of what they serve. The interior is modest, with nice rustic carpentry. Bourrée is to Boucherie as Cochon Butcher is to Cochon. It's a wing and daiquiri spot, but the wings are natural (read: smaller than the hormonal wings we're used to) and the daiquiris are dry, just the way I like them. Mr. Tea is my favorite of their daiquiris because sugar isn't the first thing I taste, instead I'm actually getting that antioxidental brewed tea flavor. Never thought I'd want that from a daiquiri, but as it turns out, I do. Their fries are some of my favorite in the city: shoestringy with crispy ends, the skin still on, salty, and plentiful. We also love their version of fried Brussels sprouts which taste of maple-citrus with bites of Tasso mixed in for good measure. My only gripe was with the jerk wings which didn't taste of jerk, just spicy. And if I'm being honest, the wings aren't the best of what they offer. They make everything in house with quality standards as high as Boucherie.
