47 Best Chicken Restaurants near Jefferson

“i was starving one day, on my period, driving through traffic with heavy rain. the only thing that could cheer me up was canes so i went to the nearest one and i was met with such kindness that absolutely made my day. the drive through workers, sereeanse and sebastian were absolutely AMAZING with my service. they were so sweet, attentive, and are one of the best service workers ive ever met in a long long time. they deserve a raise or a promotion because they absolutely the best! definitely recommend.“

“2026: I came in while on the way home. The drive thru was actually fairly quick. The prices are the standard prices. From what I could see, everything was clean and well organized. Employees were efficient. The food was hot and good.

2021: Good food. Gets horribly busy at peak times and easily bogged down. Kind of clean during off peak times. Staff are there. I can't say they are friendly or helpful.“

“We just had the best experience at this location on 1/17 at 10:30pm. First we arrive in the drive thru and the staff was very patient with me and my family. We ordered a lot of food and they let us know they would be making it fresh. We waited and they brought the food over to us. The food was amazing and everything was made to order. When we were on the car waiting they came back and asked us if everything was good, which it was! Overall 10/10 experience from all the staff!“

“Another night in NOLA which means it’s time to try a new food spot. Earlier today I was over on Canal and passed by Willie’s. The smell itself drew me in and I decided at that moment that I was coming back. LoL!!!! Willie’s sits right on the strip so it’s super easy to find. The front was totally open and there were a few tables outside on the sidewalk. As the strip is super active, sitting outside would be dope if you wanted to people watch. LoL. Walking up to the counter, each register had a cashier so the line was running smoothly. Taking a moment to review the menu, it was as one would anticipate; simple, straightforward, and one dimensional. The highlight of Willie’s definitely appears to be the Daiquiri’ as there are many options. I decided on the 3pc Cajun Tender Combo which comes with Fries and a Honey Biscuit. I also added a side of Red Beans and Rice. I mean, it is NOLA so I had to do it. I placed my order. Received my number. And took a seat to await my order. The restaurant was clean and vibrant. The yellow and red throughout the restaurant really set an upbeat tone that pairs well with the neon lights and vibrant colors of the Daiquiris. Once my order was ready, it was delivered to the table and I was good to go. Let’s talk the Food: Biscuit - Simple. Buttery. Crunchy around the bottom edges. Soft in the middle. Nothing special to note. Reminds me of a biscuit from Church’s. I’ll say 7/10. Tenders - Big. Juicy. Crunchy on the outside. Well seasoned. That’s it. That’s all I got. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I’ll say 5/10. Fries - Well Seasoned. Crunchy. I’ll say 7/10. Red Beans and Rice - Now hear me out. I love a good RB&R and these were good. There were way more beans than there was rice, which is ideal for this kind of dish. They weren’t too spicy. They were flavored well and the beans were tender. You can definitely tell they were slow simmered. I’ll say 8/10. Now… hear me out! The food wasn’t bad but for $25.00, chileeeeeeeeeeee. No ma’am, No sir. Lemme go to the chicken spot for half the price. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I won’t maybe go again if I want a lil piece of a tender. But at $13 for the Combo and $8 for the RB&R… imma need a coupon or something. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ok, Ok. In all seriousness, if you’re in the area, go for the experience. *P. S. For my Up North people, Willie’s puts me in the mindset of our “New York Fried Chicken” spots that be on the strip in the hood.“

“I don’t understand anyone saying this is the best chicken in New Orleans. It was mid at best. Very little flavor in the flimsy breading. Puny wings. Prices were fine & they obviously have a vibe with lots of character. Staff were friendly.“

“Chick-Fil-A has been making headline breakthroughs on their quality. Food and employees are courteous. Always great to help. They really picked it up since they started a long time ago. I think everybody all over the state knows the restaurant quite well. Delicious food and a signature chicken sandwich. It's nothing like a nice hot chicken sandwich. Do you satisfy a person that is hungry?“

“Great service! Great food!“

“Great food! Roast beef is very good! Had the Friday special with stuffed shrimp! Excellent!“

“I love you guys but y'all have to find some sort of solution to deal with this line outside. There's 15+ cars in line on williams waiting in line and of course, someone drives in off the side street in to the parking lot and tries to cut in from the side street in front of the people that have been waiting for 20 mins in the williams line . I sat there for 10 minutes literally watching 2 cars of people fist fight over their place in line. This is so stupid.“

“Chicken fingers were delicious 😋“

“I was debating on what to eat, so I called my coworker because she always talks about Chick-fil-A . Well, I was not disappointed. The service was excellent, and the market salad was totally delicious. Yum yum!
Today 6/2/26, I tried their chicken noodle soup . Let's just say it taste like Campbell's chicken noodle soup from the can. Seriously! Still good though!“

“This place is alright. My only hang-up with this restaurant, "Chick-fil-A or Chicka-Flick (as i like to call it)," is that you'll never get enough fries. The container is never full. I get that the fries can be big slices, but couldn't they think to make it order the containers that hold the fries a bit bigger. Whenever I order the fries, I feel ripped off, and this is the only thing I really enjoy from this restaurant. Chicka-Flick, I'm gon need you to get it together with these fries; 3 to 5 slices with a few nips of broken off pieces of other fries in any size is not ever enough and unsatisfactory when one of your claims to fame is for customers to be satisfied.

Vegetarian options: The salads are made to order and you can specify no chicken or cheese.

Parking: The parking lot is a decent size.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are at least 3-5 handicap parking spaces with wheelchair room.“

“I had a great experience at this Popeyes. I ran into an issue with my Uber Eats order, but the managers were extremely helpful and went out of their way to resolve it. They even offered me a free meal for the inconvenience, which I really appreciated.

Every time I come in, the staff makes me feel welcome. The environment is nice, clean, and well-maintained, and everyone is friendly and professional. Definitely one of the better locations I’ve been to—highly recommend!“

“Love me some Cane’s. Drive thru was fast, food was fresh, and cashier at the window was very nice“

“everything is good go and enjoy“

“Avoid the Canal st . Location. I got charged $16 for a “tackle box @ combo for adding a single extra srtip( so a total of 3 ,inch long strips,and literally 4 popcorn shrimp (advertised as 1/4 lb of them)!!! This is NOT supposed to be a kids meal, I don’t mind paying a little extra for a good meal. This wasn’t good, nor a Meal 👎👎👎 Sadly,it will follow everything other fast food chain on Canal(Wendy’s,B.K, both Mc Donald’s,etc,,,) at least there’s still a good Tattoo shop! Big East Tattoo Company!!! Safer than Bourbon st….Best traditional shop in town!“

“Customer service was awesome & food was fresh & delicious! Highly recommended!!!!“

“The food is great as always. Yet the service is not great or chic fil a friendly. The guys handing the orders In pick up area were not nice nor friendly and actually really rude and almost disrespectful. I was not the only one with this issue and they were handing out the wrong orders to customers in front of me.“

“Yesterday was my first time trying Chicken Salad Chick. Such a unique concept for a drive thru but even more impressive was the time the employee took to check all my choices to make sure they did not contain gluten. He went above and beyond and deserves a shout out. I didn’t cath his name but great job!!!“

“My boyfriend got us the spicy dark meat chicken with most of the sides and everything was delicious! He also said the staff was very friendly and helpful, which is really nice to hear these days. I'd absolutely eat here again💛“

“Never have a problem and the workers are great!“

“The wings are so good seasoned I will come back on my next vacation“

“I came in and picked up an order and it was so good that I came back and ordered 2 pot pies. The staff was very friendly. And offered me something to drink while I wait for my first wedges. I will bet definitely be back. They had a nice tall young man with dresses who was very polite and the manager came out and she was awesome as well.“

“Over priced and order was messed up.. they usually are ok, but lately they've been having issues at this location.

UPDATE: wow it has definitely changed since I last visited. The night manager has such a vibrant attitude, she is sweet and very helpful she really was great and her workers were very nice as well. I love the change,even though the prices are quite high, just their energy alone made it a pleasant visit. 5⭐️“

“Writing this on behalf of my mom, a regular mallwalker at Lakeside who often speaks of how friendly the young people who work at the Raising Cane's are when she orders her diet coke (even though she's only ordering a diet coke). FWIW, I do like the fried chicken as well. :)“

“The staff very friendly ! The best Popeyes ever! The Louisiana flavor! Amazing chicken. We are from Miami, Florida and we wanted to try the chicken, oh my god, best chicken ever!!!“

“Love Popeyes...But the order was wrong today! weather was extremely 🔥🔥🔥🔥Today didn't feel like going back!“

“Love that CHICKEN from Popeyes☆ (The Biscuits with Honey Is Always Best)“

“Great chicken but CHECK YOUR ORDER before you leave. We picked up a big order but they left out a $10 side & we didn't realize til we got home. Also check how busy they are on google. Don't go when they are busy unless you have time to wait 20+ min for your order.“

“It's fast-food...What can you expect...besides the wait..“

“Pissed! I had to go inside because it took too long to say my order was ready. Got inside and bunch of bags was sitting behind the counter ready to be distributed. So I ask the lady at the register can she check on my order...after searching through some bags my food was located and given to me! 😒 the chicken sandwich and coleslaw was delicious and the lemonade was phenomenal. Service was poor!“

“Great food. Friendly staff“

“I don't know if the man behind the counter was the manager, but he was extremely, kind, and very welcoming. I've never been treated like this at a Popeyes. This needs to be a standard for how all Popeyes are trained. Plus, my food was hot 🔥 and fresh, and I rode all the way to Laplace. The staff was nice as well I usually go to one in the city and my stuff is not this good and the staff is not usually this nice. I don't know if it's because this was Mother's Day, but kudos 👏🏾 to you guys.“
