Absolutely perfect late night chicken. Make sure you try the red beans and rice too. I stop by on every trip diet bourbon st

Not good and 117 dollars for seafood plate a chicken basket and drinks ! Be aware ! Food subpar and outrageous . Stay away ! Love the server but it was all a con game ! read more

The fried chicken had a really good crisp. And the French fries were very crispy and good as well. Neither one had much seasoning, nothing special just regular crispy fried food. The daiquiri doesn't have much alcohol and tastes more like corn syrup and for the price, it's not worth it. There's limited seating inside but they have more seating outside. The vibes were also great, the music they were playing was hittin. read more

I kept hearing about Willie's Chicken Shack if we wanted some good fried chicken. Tried it and was not disappointed. The biscuits were really good and the chicken seasoning was also really good! And there are also so many drink options to choose from - but I stayed away from the alcohol and wanted to partake in the food. read more

This is my favorite fried chicken spot in NOLA-10/10! I got the jumbo chicken tenders and was full after the first one . I love the variety of homemade sauces like their honey mustard, BBQ, and special sauce that resembles a spicy ranch. The homemade biscuits drizzled with honey def are the icing on the cake with the combo baskets. Service was very friendly and food came out swiftly. This is a great quick lunch stop or place for casual dining. read more

Willie's is a franchise much like Popeyes which happens to be right across the street from Willie's but the difference between the two is night and day. Willie's serves up some of the best Chicken tenders I've ever had. The tenders are so juicy and piping hot and the biscuits are glazed with honey and are so delicious. Willie's is a chain but they seem to take pride in its chicken preparation. 3.5 for a chain. read more

Had a decent lunch here. Chicken, of course. I was disappointed that they only had dinner rolls and not biscuits.

Willie's consistently delivers excellent fried food--I typically avoid fried dishes, but this place is my irresistible indulgence whenever I'm in New Orleans. However, the pricing has become truly insane. For me and two friends, we each ordered one meal and had two alcoholic beverages total. The bill was over $100. I've never spent that much on fried chicken in my life. While the food is great, the skyrocketing cost makes me seriously question returning. read more

Great for a late night snack after cocktails meal. Chicken was pretty good. Nothing fancy!

On an incredibly warm afternoon, we wanted something to cool us down. We stopped at Willie's to grab a daiquiri and we're so happy we did. It did what it needed to do and was delicious. Service was okay. Not the friendliest at the time but we were just in and out. read more

Stopped in for a late night snack at this NOLA favorite. Located in the heart of Bourbon Street, so of course it's open late. What I appreciated is that everything is made to order. You have to wait, but it's worth it because the food is served piping hot. They have red beans and rice, but we didn't try those. We had the catfish and the chicken and both were very good. We enjoyed the honey butter biscuits that are sweet, soft and tasty. The fries were crispy, delicious and well flavored. They also have lots of daiquiris to choose from and you can mix the flavors. I definitely recommend for a yummy yet unhealthy meal because it's definitely deep fried goodness. read more

If you're strolling down Bourbon Street and craving something delicious, Willie's Chicken Shack delivers every time. While the name might be all about chicken, let me put you on to their fried fish--crispy, flaky, and seasoned to perfection. It's the kind of golden goodness that melts in your mouth and reminds you why Southern food is undefeated. The fries are the perfect companion--hot, salty, and fresh--and when you pair it all with one of their frozen daiquiris? Chef's kiss! The vibes here are unbeatable: quick service, great energy, and food that's worth coming back for. Pro tip: Order the fried fish basket, and don't skip the hot sauce--it's a game-changer. #BourbonStreetEats #FriedFishDoneRight #WilliesChickenShack #LouisianaFlavor read more

Ok so I'm going to rate this place as I remember it. Disclosure I could have remembered it wrong, it wouldn't be the first time I've done that. So it was about 12:30 am and we had just quenched our thirst at a few places and were hungry. This place was all lit up and blasting music and it was the closest place open that sold food. We got help by a friendly lady. I wanted to order a single biscuit but I guess they don't sell them separately but I wasn't exactly understanding and they ended up just giving it to me. Overall I enjoyed the chicken and biscuits and appreciated the good service. I'd come back but probably only after a night out. read more

I saw a few Willie's Chicken Shack all through the Bourbon Street area and before heading back to our AirB&B one night we decided to pick some up. I was surprised how good the chicken was! Super crispy and full of flavor inside and out. Ohh, and the biscuit was hella good so make sure you get an extra! read more

My friends and I visited this location on November 22 around midnight. After placing our order, I asked an employee for the code to the restroom door, which was provided. We proceeded to the restroom, and while we were inside, what appeared to be the manager burst into the women's restroom yelling at us to get out. We were still in a stall when he began shouting at the top of his lungs for us to leave. When we exited the stall, we explained that an employee had given us the code because they knew we were paying customers. He then accused us of lying and insisted that no one had given us permission to use the restroom. He continued arguing with us, despite the fact that we were actively purchasing food. This was by far the worst treatment I've ever experienced at any establishment. I will never spend my money here again. It is unacceptable for paying customers to be denied restroom access, and even more concerning that a male employee entered the women's restroom while we were inside. This was an extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable experience, and I strongly advise others to avoid this location. read more

While visiting New Orleans and walking along Bourbon Street, hunger hit and I came across Willie's Chicken Shack. I ordered the 2-piece dark meat meal. A few friends in my group ended up getting Popeyes instead, so I had the chance to do a quick taste test. I'll say Willie's was definitely more seasoned and flavorful--New Orleans knows how to do spice right! Unfortunately, I was too hungry to snap any pics before diving in. read more

We went late at night, so zero wait! Food is absolutely delicious. Superb chicken, great biscuit, and really great fries. Restaurant is tight at busy times, but for a fast casual place near bourbon street it's overall fairly clean. I'd recommend going at non peak hours if possible, but the food is so worth it any time of day read more

Came here on a whim and ended up loving it! Service is excellent, our cashier was such a kind lady and made sure we got everything we needed. The biscuits are to die for and have a delicious glaze on them. You have GOT to try the BBQ sauce, had me going back for more. Proportions were great none of us could finish the jumbo tenders basket. The vibe in there was so much fun, plenty of space and great music. The walls are filled with murals and are beautiful. I highly recommend if you love a good vibe and delicious chicken. read more

This place is nothing more than a Low end Popeyes that serves daiquiris. We went to the one in the 200 block of bourbon street. Terrible!!! The menu on line does not match the store. The prices didn't match as well as the available sauces. The only bright spot was the Spanish speaking cook who did come out and tell me through translating that the order was in process. Based on the low number of people we saw in all the locations, it should have been my sign. Totally awful. read more

All I can say is that chicken is amazing. It is a pricey but worth it and you can see them actually make the chicken in front of you and it comes out hot! read more

We were literally the only customers and out food took 29 minutes. All the workers were gathered talking. The food was just awful. Red Beans and Rice was salty and not worth $12.99 read more

Chicken was dry and the thin slice catfish fry too soft and oily!! Service was ok It was clean.

This was probably the best chicken I've had from a "fast food" joint. I was visiting from Nebraska so that should tell you a lot. We have the chain spots, but this is the deal. I need someone to franchise one of these in Omaha, cause that biscuit still lives rent free in my head. Everything was "careful this just came out" hot...and the flavor was flavoring all the way to the bone. The tenders were juicy and the price was what I expected for the area that we are in. Oh and the sauce...chefs kiss. If i go back to NOLA...I'm making time for Willie's cause Bay-beeeee! read more

So I've ran restaurants from 25 years. I asked for a fresh 3 piece and they side yes. But they thought with my vast 25 years restaurant experience they could get away with double frying their food. So dry don't come to this one. Others are good though. read more

Customer service was good. Large restaurant with lots of seating. They have drinks and they have pizza too. Sadly they were out of dark meat which is what I wanted most. I ended up with tenders. The tenders came with fries and a honey buttered biscuit. Tenders were juicy and big. I had a hard time enjoying it because I wanted dark meat so bad and didn't have time to go to another location to get my fix. Flavor was good though and the fries were bomb. read more

This is my new go to place for drunk food! The chicken was good with their homemade honey mustard but the real star was the fried shrimp! Some of the best I've had. They were, big, juicy and had a nice kick to them. The counter server was also really sweet, and the place was immaculate by any standard but especially for Bourbon street. My husband said it was so clean he would eat off the floor. Highly recommend! read more

You can spend $59 and they won't let you use the bathroom not sure if it's legal but it's ridiculous. I would not recommend this location at all . Other locations allow you to use the rest rooms as paying customers read more

We were hesitant to try Willie's since you can find them all throughout NOLA. However, after several locals recommended it due to their always freshly fried chicken, we had to try it.

Their chicken was amazing! It stayed hot from the cooking oil the entire time we sat eating. It's the first thing for lunch I looked for getting off the boat. Their seasoning is perfection, the batter coating is consistently great. It's definitely a great stop for food anywhere near the quarter if you're here visiting. Has a younger, college kind of feel for the tables and music, but nothing that wasn't family friendly. My only regret was not trying the actual chicken dinner while we were here read more

prices arent bad at all. more of a grab n go spot. fried fish or chicken tenders was the options, wish there was regular fried chicken too. read more
