We visited New Orleans and during my research I found Willa Jean and a recommended place to go. The wife and I shared the chicken and biscuit and it was delicious! Definitely recommend going!

Fantastic biscuits and fried chicken. Their Bloody Mary is so far the best in town and compliments the food nicely. The king cake latte was smooth. The service was attentive and prompt. Definitely recommend over Molly’s Rise & Shine.

The food was delicious, I just wish I didn’t get soggy bread at the bottom of my sandwich. For reference, I got takeout so perhaps with the sauce it got soggy. Nonetheless, it was delicious!

Went for breakfast Saturday morning when they first opened so there wasn't a wait. Cute & clean atmosphere with a delicious assortment of baked goods on display.
Our waitress Ranisha recommended her favorite the Crab Omelet, Hangover Bowl or Chicken & Waffles.
I came for the Chicken & Waffles which were very good. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The sweet potato waffle was soft and had just enough sweetness. Loved the dollops of marshmallow cream, pecans and sauce on top. Probably the best Chicken & Waffles I've had in a long time.
My husband ordered the Crab Omelet. It came with crispy potatoes and was full of lump crab! He enjoyed it as well.
Forgot to grab a biscuit so we had to go back the next day. The plain biscuit is a MUST! It was flakey and buttery. Best biscuit I've had. The Cherry Pistachio Scone is a seasonal item but I'm sure any scone they have will be buttery and flakey.
Overall, I highly recommend eating here. GET A BISCUIT! The staff and service is great. Ranisha is a wonderful waitress and made our NOLA trip memorable.

We went on a weekday in January and there was no wait for a table. Our waitress gave us several delicious sounding recommendations. We ordered the WJ Breakfast because we’d heard great things about their biscuits and cheesy grits and that was the way to get both. It was DELICIOUS - that may be a bit dramatic but those biscuits were so good we bought more from the bakery counter to take with us. Get the biscuits!

Join the waitlist online and save yourself an extended wait at the restaurant. You have 15 mins to check in once you receive the table ready text.
This restaurant is a must hit. The food was amazing and large for the price. Our waitress, Ranisha, was the best! Will definitely return when we are back in NOLA. ⚜️

We were told the wait was going to be 30 minutes. It was well over an hour. We were cool to wait. Thought we would have a drink while waiting. That was a no go. You can’t get a drink at the bar unless you order a meal. Okay, next option. We were told to order from the to
-go counter. We did that right as our table was ready. The to-go counter would not bring the drinks to the table when they were ready. We had to hang there and wait. Seemed silly. The table they sat us at had been open the entire time we waited. The staff was more concerned with the rules rather make a customer happy. Really, you can’t order a drink from the bar? The to-go person was not allowed to have our drinks brought over when they were ready. The food is good but not worth the money. There are so many great places to eat in NO. I would absolutely skip it.

Everything was great, they had a 14 groups on the waitlist but asked if we wanted to sit at the bar with no wait. We did - bar staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and you can order the full menu from the bar, food and drinks were delicious.

First of all, my server Raneisha (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was awesome. She provided first class service to my wife and I. Secondly, the food was really good. Some things are what they are, eggs and bacon taste the same everywhere. But, their sweet potato waffle was phenomenal. I don't even like sweet potatoes, but man it was good! And it was cooked just right, soft and fluffy. The other thing I really enjoyed was their pistachio expresso. They make the syrup in house and I'm forever spoiled. If you have folks who come to visit from our of town, this is the spot I would bring them for breakfast.

Great service. Gumbo was excellent. Biscuits and gravy were also very good. Get there early for the best selection of pastries.
