    Wow Turkey is a nice spot with a great atmosphere, excellent service, and beautiful presentation. Unfortunately, the food fell a little short for me. I had the fried turkey wings, mac and cheese, and fried okra, and everything needed more seasoning and flavor. My friends ordered the turkey wings and char-grilled oysters and had a similar experience. The food looked great, but we all felt it was lacking in flavor. The biggest disappointment was the price point. This is on the higher end, so when you're paying more for a meal, you expect the food to deliver on flavor. The presentation and atmosphere were definitely there, but the food didn't quite match the price. Overall, there's a lot of potential here. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and the presentation was beautiful. With more seasoning and flavor, I think the food could really live up to the price.

    Wow Turkey is very aesthetically pleasing and I love that they have a nice, but not extreme, dress code. The lighting here is very nice , especially for photos. Service is pretty good, but they were really busy. We had to flag the waitress down for additional ordering and change when paying with cash. I really wanted to see what the hype was and ordered the Mojo Turkey Leg. We also had oysters as an appetizer and cocktails. The oysters were ok, but most of them were so small. The Wine About It is their take on a Sangria and it's really good. The cocktail is not overly sweet, and has a nice punch. The Mojo Turkey was flavorful, but very light with the flavor, along with the seafood pasta and the standalone seafood pasta dish. I'm sure that is due to being in a tourist area. It was very good, but the turkey itself could use some additional basting to keep it from being as dry. Overall, this was a great experience and I would both recommend and return.

    Nola special...shrimp etouffee, red beans & rice & gumbo

    The restaurant is very nice inside. We both got the Nola special which was red beans & rice, shrimp etouffee & gumbo & they all kind of looked the same so hard to tell what was what except the red beans & rice. It tasted good but like I said after a while it all tasted the same. The seafood Mac & cheese was really tasty. We had sangria which was amazing & we had a really nice server who was patient & answered all our questions. Next time I would try the turkey legs.

    Wow Turkey is definitely a must try for their unique take on turkey legs, the atmosphere and vibes. We tried their take on Oyster Rockefeller, the turkey legs with the pasta and the one with the crawfish etouffee. I truly enjoyed everything except the turkey leg with the etouffee, simply because the spices didn't agree with my taste. It is beautifully decorated and the music keeps you jamming. Everyone provided great customer service and made sure you were satisfied and everything was to your liking. Reservations are highly suggested and arrive early to find a park, if you don't want to pay for parkng.

    Amazing flavor food and the service was great along with the an amazing ambiance. Great wine selection as well.

    Very elegant and beautiful space - the outside is very cool also. The place was packed on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. A couple of us ordered a small Caesar salad to start, which I don't recommend. There was not much dressing/flavor, and the shredded cheese on it was the industrial type cheese, not real Parm/regg. We all got stuffed turkey legs, which were generous in portion size. I got the Mac and cheese one, and the Mac and cheese was solid. The turkey was flavorful and cooked well. One important thing to note- I didn't realize turkey legs had so many little bones in them. Use caution when eating! We were too full to try dessert. We were allowed to split our checks by who ordered what, which is rare, and that was nice.

    Loved the ambiance of this place. Very nice and modern. Really enjoyed the music - old school R&B all night! The service was good and our server Terrell answered all of our questions. Now...the food! Redfish royale 5/10: my fish was overcooked and dry. And all the food was a different temp. Meaning the fish was but the corn and mash were a really lukewarm. The mash under the fish had no flavor and was a little bland. I also wasn't a fan of the corn either as it lacked flavor too. I had high hopes for this dish but was very disappointed. Hoping the cook was just having a bad night. Purple reign 9/10: good flavor and not too sweet, even with the sugar on the rim. The liquor ratio was good as well and I didn't even taste it. Wow oysters 10/10: flavorful and was served with garlic bread which was unexpected but nice. Red beans and rice 8/10: very small portion for the price and was lukewarm. Good flavor and seasoned well though. Margarita 10/10: good balance of the alcohol and sweetness.

    The food at Wow Turkey is wowwwww, everything was so flavorful and tasty. The service was immaculate, our waitress was the best. The gumbo was amazing, the blackened catfish with cabbage and mashed potatoes was amazing. That stuffed turkey leg filled with rice, fried crawfish and much more goodness was amazing. We tried the dessert here also and that was tasty too. The ambiance is really appeasing also, the lighting is just right. The parking lot fits a few cars and street parking is also an option. We left wow turkey full and satisfied!

    I enjoyed it truly, the wait time can be something else but the waitress was great and the food was on point. And even the Mexican cigar old fashioned, will never forget that one. U have to try the Turkey Leg! It was on point. 2 thumbs to this establishment. My guy Lance congrats on this one!! The place is amazing!!

    Had the pleasure to stop by during K day weekend with my brother and the food was amazing. There was a bit of a confrontation witnessed by front desk clerk and a waiter/runner but the head manager took care of it promptly. We had drinks, spinach an artichoke dip and the turkey leg pasta. Seasone dto perfection and the dirty rice tasted like somebody grandma is in the back. 10/10 highly recommended

    Garlic Parm Turkey Wings and Mashed Potatoes.
    Tangie R.

    I tried this place for the first time. It was 4th of July so there was about an hour wait. After we sat down, there was a bit of confusion with the waitstaff and some back and forth about who was serving us as everyone was apparently scheduled to get off. Shout out to Demi. She stayed past her shift to serve us and close us out. I ordered the Garlic Parm Turkey Wings and Mashed Potatoes. It came very quickly and was hot. The wings were seasoned good on the outside, crispy, and were a nice size for the price. The mashed potatoes tasted like they had sour cream in them, which is a plus for me. I would have liked some additional garlic parm for dipping. Lol. The restaurant is nice. The outside area would be torture in the summer but, they do have fans going. I don't like Turkey Legs but I did try the pasta. It was good. I'll return next time to try the gumbo when its cooler.

    I went to New Orleans for Memorial weekend and we reserved this place as a first time visit. It's located in the warehouse district close to the World War II museum. I was very impressed from the time I walked in the door until we were seated and the service was impeccable. They have a variety of dishes on the menu. One of their main dishes was the stuffed turkey leg, which was very, very good. We also ordered several other dishes. Everyone said their food tasted really great. Also, the drinks were very good. They were potent and I really enjoyed the experience there. It will be a place that I would visit again in the future when I'm in town.

    Oysters  Spinach dip
    Victoria P.

    Mykia was our server and she was great! We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share and everything was delicious! The oysters were small but really flavorful! The spinach dip was good too. We got the turkey leg with macaroni and it was very tender. The Caribbean style turkey necks were okay, the black beans were a bit overpowering though. I'd definitely come back

The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

    So on Day 2 of my first New Orleans trip, I wanted an iconic meal at an iconic New Orleans spot…read more So we headed to Willie Mae's NOLA to try her famous fried chicken. I jumped on my OpenTable app and was able to snag a reservation on a busy Friday night. We took an Uber to the restaurant but I did notice most of the parking for this restaurant was street parking. Walking in about 15 minutes before our reservation and they sat us immediately at the bar,much to my surprise as the restaurant was packed and I had heard rumors of people waiting for long periods of time for a seat. The restaurant was very busy and quite noisy with the constant chatter of a full restaurant along with the most amazing music being played to create the best ambiance for a great meal. Once we sat down we ordered a few cocktails to go with our dinner. We ordered a Sidecar($18.00) and a French 75($14.00) Both were exquisite-tasted great and were well made. For food we ordered the 1/2 Fried Chicken order($18.00) which comes with 4 pieces of fried chicken and a side, I went with the Mac n Cheese but it was out and they gave me Red Beans and Rice and a side of Green Beans in its place. We also ordered the Caesar Salad with the Fried Chicken added.($13.00 + $5.00) Our food got to us in about 15 minutes, which was amazingly fast considering how busy the restaurant and kitchen were that night. Let's talk about the food. The Caesar Salad was pretty good,nice and fresh with a good balance of dressing and cheese. The Red Beans and Rice was my favorite side-was so flavorful and rich. The Green Beans hurt my soul a bit because I realized upon tasting those that I have been cooking mine at home all wrong all these years-they were perfect. The star of the night and what Willie Mae's is famous for though is the fried chicken and it did not disappoint. My wife said I looked like a kid on Christmas Day as I was smiling and enjoying every bite of my four pieces of fried chicken. All I could think about was how I wished my father would've made it to New Orleans at least once as fried chicken was his favorite food and the dish served at Willie Mae's would've blown his socks off. Pure Fried Chicken Perfection! Overall, if you're coming to New Orleans and fried chicken is your thing, Willie Mae's deserves a spot on your list.

The table next to us also finished around the same time and received their check, but they kept asking hin questions about the area for about 6 minutes. He then headed over to a newly seated table on the otherside of us to greet and get their orders. One patron was asking questions about the menu. Buffalo cauliflower $11- really done well. The florets were still crispy eventhough they were drenched in Buffalo sauce. My main course was the 1/4 dark with red beans & rice and corn bread $18. First let me talk about the red beans and rice...good flavor, well balanced. A really good side kick to the star. The fried chicken is really good. It was hot, crunchy and juicy! The chicken had flavor a s crust had flavor. 5 stars just for the chicken. 2 Unisex restroom 1 toilet and sink Paper towel dispenser Roomy, well stocked and clean

    Voodoo Chicken & Daiquiris - New Orleans…read more With so much legendary fried chicken in New Orleans, this place has no business being as good as it is--but it absolutely holds its own. The chicken was fresh, crispy, and packed with crunch. The breading had great texture and stayed crisp all the way through. It's not trying to reinvent fried chicken; it just executes it well. One thing to know before you go: unlike many chicken spots, you can't order individual pieces. The menu starts with a 2-piece meal for $14.99, which includes fries and a biscuit. Not exactly a bargain, but portions are fair for the French Quarter where everything comes with a tourist tax. The atmosphere is loud, colorful, and over-the-top New Orleans. Neon lights, daiquiri machines, and a cotton-candy-cloud ceiling make it impossible to miss. This review is strictly about the chicken. I'm not a fan of the super-sugary daiquiris, so I can't speak much to the drinks. But if you're wandering the French Quarter craving fried chicken, Voodoo deserves consideration even among the city's stiff competition. Worth ordering: Crispy fried chicken meal Skip if: You're looking for cheap eats or just want a single piece of chicken. Overall: Solid fried chicken with excellent crunch in a fun French Quarter setting.

The chicken tenders were delicious and, best of all, they were not skimpy at all. They were big, nice-sized tenders, and the combo was only about $9.99, which I thought was a great price for the amount and quality of food. The atmosphere is very casual, especially being on Canal Street with the doors open, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. The cashiers greeted me when I walked in, took my order, gave me a number, and I sat down while they prepared my food. They brought the meal to my table when it was ready, which was nice. They also have daiquiris, so that's another option if you're looking for something to enjoy with your meal. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures this time. I was too hungry and completely forgot! But trust me, the food was good, the portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth going back. If you're visiting New Orleans, especially as a tourist looking for some good, reasonably priced food, I'd say give Willy's Chicken Shack a try!

    Willie's Chicken Shack - New Orleans…read more If you've walked through the French Quarter, you've seen Willie's. It's everywhere. The formula is simple: fried chicken, frozen daiquiris, neon lights, and hungry tourists. Like Voodoo, you can't order individual pieces of chicken. Meals start at $13.99 for a 2-piece dark meat combo or $14.99 for a 2-piece white meat combo, both served with fries and a biscuit. The chicken arrived fresh, hot, and crispy. The crunch was definitely there, and everything tasted like it had just come out of the fryer. The problem wasn't texture--it was flavor. The seasoning felt pretty light, leaving the chicken tasting a little plain compared to some of the better fried chicken options around town. The biggest comparison is against Voodoo Chicken & Daiquiris. Both have nearly identical menus and concepts, but Voodoo gets the edge for me. Their cross-cut fries are better, the atmosphere is more unique, and the chicken had a little more flavor overall. That doesn't mean Willie's is bad. If you're exploring the Quarter and need a quick fried chicken fix, it'll absolutely get the job done. It just didn't stand out in a city loaded with incredible fried chicken. As for the daiquiris, I didn't try them. Frozen sugary cocktails aren't really my thing, so this review is strictly about the food. Worth ordering: 2-piece chicken meal if you're hungry and nearby. Best part: Fresh, hot chicken with a solid crunch. Needs improvement: More seasoning and flavor in the breading. Compared to Voodoo: Slightly behind in both food and atmosphere. Overall: A decent French Quarter fried chicken stop, but not one I'd go out of my way to revisit when there are stronger options nearby.
