28 Best Chicken Restaurants in New Orleans

“Awesome vibe. AMAZING chicken. Wish there was one in my hometown.“

“We stumbled upon Gus’s after shopping at the outlets on Riverwalk. The reviews were strong and fried chicken sounded perfect for lunch. Their chicken is hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had at a restaurant! It was also a great price - and for those who have visited NOLA before, you know it can be a pricey city! You must try it!“

“the best 👌🏾 hands down the chicken and biscuits“

“7/10 recommend. Fast service Friendly employees“

“Amazing breakfast!! We stopped here before the Saints game. Food was excellent! Amazing service! We will definitely be back!“

“sioux city, iowa location is really good.. the chicken was nice and crispy and went well with the canes sauce.. great service as well..“

“Krissy and Kay were FABULOUS, I wanted to spend my entire day chopping it up with them two... strong drinks, yummy alligator bites, and great conversation ... thanx for making my 1st trip to NOLA mind blowing 🤪“

“Nothing like raising canes!!! Love this place 🔥🔥“

“SO JUICY! Consensus is this is the best fried chicken this group of 6 has ever had. The McHardy’s Bourbon sauce can’t be missed, and the Mango Habanero and Jerk sauces are also a must try. The fried okra was excellent. The staff were kind, attentive, helpful, and fab! Can’t wait to come back!! 11/10“

“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.“

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

“Krissy and Kay were FABULOUS, I wanted to spend my entire day chopping it up with them two... strong drinks, yummy alligator bites, and great conversation ... thanx for making my 1st trip to NOLA mind blowing 🤪“

“Chicken sandwiches are phenomenal“

“Stopped in Louisiana today to go on an airboat tour. Went to le roux and ordered 10 wings and the fish and shrimp dinner. It was phenomenal!! 5/5 rating Would recommend trying out!“

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

“Chic Fil A strives to be a family place and it shows. The chicken is very good. Every member is the staff is kind and courteous. They even hold community events. They welcome groups. They have games for customers to play. There is s kids play area with play cash registers. I can't say enough good things about Chic Fil A in general, but this location is exemplary of what they strive to be!“

“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!“

“Me and my mom tried this place for the first time last week and the food was very good 🤤. I had the shrimp platter which came with jumbo shrimp and plenty of fries. My mama also had the same thing and we both enjoyed it. Prices are very reasonable so if you're looking for something affordable and good to eat I highly recommend Louie's Kitchen 💯“

“everything is good go and enjoy“

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

“We were staying across the street at the Holiday Inn and needed some food after the long drive. China House hot the spot! We ordered three items and all were fresh and delicious. I specifically had the shrimp and veggies with shrimp fried rice. It was SO GOOD. I'm already thinking of trying something else from here tonight, lol!“

“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.“

“This Popeyes Is The Best In The City. The Night Shift Is Very Friendly And Was Very Helpful. It’s Always Clean Every Time I’m There. I’m Always Greeted With Kindness From Everyone. The Manager Kirshell Is Very Nice And Helpful. She Helped Me To Read The Menu And Order Exactly What I Wanted. And The Crew Got My Order Ready And Was Done Within 5 Minutes.“
