   BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER. Beware of the bill: ordered a gin and tonic and when the bill came they charged $12 for the gin, $3 for the “rocks” and $1 for the tonic. When I questionned the charges, they said it’s a bigger pour. I didn’t ask for a bigger pour. Evidentially, the manager took the rocks and tonic off the bill. Otherwise, great food.

   The food at Willie Mae’s was good, however I was not impressed with the customer service. I have had better experiences at other restaurants in New Orleans.

   2pc dark meat fried chicken was moist, had the most incredible crispy yet delicate fry, and a bit spicy. The jambalaya orzo was tomatoey and delicious. The butter beans and rice was also good (I thought it could have used more seasoning but my partner disagrees). The freshly squeezed lemonade was sweet and refreshing.

   Not an example of excellent friend chicken. It was so spicy it was inedible and it didn’t indicate it was that spicy. In addition it was dry and overcooked. What was worse was the service. So bad, we got food before drinks and had to repeatedly ask for water. It felt like we were an inconvenience.

   It is fantastic that Willie Mae's is now located downtown, so that I can share an institution with my visiting friends. Having live music last night was fantastic. Felt like I was getting fed amazing classic foods while hanging at Tip's! That fried chicken is always so crispy, moist and delicious. Could eat the Scotch House wings all night. My friends declared the gumbo the best they have had. I though maybe my mama was in the kitchen! :)

   Came from out of town and this was our first stop, even before our hotel. For the price we paid the service was very subpar. We sat in Candys section and we didn’t see her except for the bill at the end.
