This chicken is the best damn fried chicken I’ve ever had. The seasoning is cooked IN the chicken somehow, so every bite is so flavorful! The frozen drinks in the souvenir cups are good!

I ordered the Cajun catfish and it was fantastic. My wife and daughter ordered fried chicken and chicken strips. After trying the chicken, I wished I had ordered chicken. Nothing wrong with the catfish but damn that chicken was good.

The chicken tenders were absolutely yummy; in fact because they were so good, I wish I had gotten the regular fried chicken, which I'm guessing would be even better. However, despite the delicious food, the pricing was too high in my opinion. I'm sure this has everything to do with the location, and I don't begrudge the establishment for pricing up to what people are willing to pay, but I would hesitate to come here again due to that (or I would at least order much more carefully).

My friends and I were taking a walk down Canal street and Daiquiri and this place did not disappoint. We were able to get both and the chicken was excellent with the right amount of spice like the chicken fingers and wings. The Daiquiris were more than expected. The cashier and the person that brought us our food were both nice and made it an experience that will be well with us coming back.

The fried chicken is so tasty and juicy. Highly recommended if you pass thought here

OK Pizza. Open concept. Clean bathrooms. Great tasting drinks. Amazing pepperoni pizza.

This location in particular did not have great service. I wanted to get a daiquiri that had 3 flavors in it. The girl at the register had like an issue understanding what the h*ll I was trying to say. She said it would be extra charge for all those flavors. I never had an issue in other daiquiri places in getting different flavors in one cup. She was just so slow and rude.

I was so looking forward to eating here on my recent trip to New Orleans. The food was good but not as amazing as I remember it being. Service was fast and the employees were friendly. I was a little intrigued that they advertise daiquiris made with Bacardi 151, especially since Bacardi 151 was discontinued 6 years ago. So I’m not sure how accurate these statements are, but the Hurricane slushy was good.

Was in search of something to eat willies was open and the food smelled delicious asked Tyrone how it was he said it’s the best I found out for my self he wasn’t lying the service was great food was hot & fresh them biscuits oh lawd the best but don’t believe me check them out for yourself you want be disappointed you can bet that overall the experience me and my crew had was 10+ stars

Willie's Chicke Shack was next door to the hotel said I was gone check it out. The atmosphere is on point. Good music, open concept, and chicken was ??. Probably best seasoned chicken I've tasted on my trip. Wings/chicken are around/under $15, fries went for about $6, and they have daiquiri type drinks with souvenir about $15. All meals are made to order so you will have to wait.Even thought it's an open concept they did mandate mask upon entering and ordering. Staff were great and dancing. As if they just liked working there. ?
