31 Best Chicken Restaurants in New Orleans

“This place is awesome!! A must if you are in New Orleans!!“

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

“We stopped in on Saturday evening and ordered a special and a Chris Special. I had the Chris special and I’m not sure I’m going to even bother to try anything else on the menu because it was THAT GOOD. My husband ordered the special with a side of the hot chili garlic oil for dipping - really great! We shared an order of fries and had a side of Mack sauce and a side of honey mustard for dipping. It was a quiet night so we ordered a fountain Diet Coke and a Coke 🤣 - but saw there were some good liquor choices behind the counter and a pretty darned great selection of other canned/bottled beverages. Definitely coming back - definitely excellent.“

“That chicken was cooked to perfection! That daiquiri was awesome. My place to go to from now on anytime I drop by New Orleans.“

“I ordered chicken yesterday, and when I received my order, it wasn’t fresh and didn’t taste good. Rather than leave a negative review, I decided to call the restaurant and share my experience directly.

I have to say, the owner was incredibly kind. Her customer service was impeccable, and she immediately offered to make it right. The only thing she asked was that I return the food, which I thought was completely fair.

We talked for a while, and she thanked me for giving her the opportunity to address the issue instead of bashing her business online. That conversation showed me how much she genuinely cares about her customers and her reputation.

Mistakes can happen at any restaurant, but what truly matters is how they’re handled. This business handled my complaint with professionalism, kindness, and respect.

For that reason, I give them 20 stars. Excellent customer service and a business that stands behind its customers!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“everything is good go and enjoy“

“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 💯“

“Thank god for Google because I probably would have never found this place otherwise. The portions are great and the prices are reasonable but what i really want to talk about it the food because it is probably the best chinese I have had in a long time (not kidding when i say probably about 7 years) this is that one unassuming hole in the wall place that you can definitely miss driving on the street, but you'd be missing out not going into. It has that authentic vibe where they speak chinese and have a kid there in the restaurant. The rare quality places that you really don't see anymore that I wish there was still more of. I asked for extra duck sauce, which of course they gave me no problem, but it literally felt like blasphemy putting on the food because it just was too good without it and didn't need it at all. The egg rolls are super delicious. Obviously pork and fresh and full of flavor. The boneless spare ribs were really big slices of meat and the sauce was so tasty on top of it. They do not skimp on the pork in the fried rice because they add a lot of big chunks and that was so good too. The vegetables were also fresh in it and were so nice. In fact, it was so good, I am literally writing this review stuffed thinking about when i get to dig into the leftovers and taste this scrumptious meal again. Thank you so much. It was a real treat to come grab your grub. We really enjoyed it. I hope to be back before we move out of state in a few months.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“
