Willie Mae’s Reviews
I was really sorry to learn that the food court in this historic building had closed and Willie Mae’s restaurant with it. This little restaurant was a great spot to eat. The food was of course very good but the service was also outstanding. I hear that the owners are tough and very resilient and I read they plan to reopen the original location on Saint Ann Street. Perhaps they may reopen this location as well?

Definitely worthwhile to make the time and effort to go to the scotch house location instead. The quality at the market location is not remotely close to the original spot. The chicken at the market is not as crispy and the seasoning is off. The mac and cheese was disgusting. The cheese was coagulated. The sides are also limited here. On a good note, at least the food came out quick..
We waited so long for our food and it was just ok. Felt like the hype was overrated and expensive. Ended up going to Mothers. Wish I could say I’d be willing to try this place again but I’m not so sure. It’s something when you’re paying a lot for food and the service is sour AND slow. Stank attitudes should not be working front of the house even in food halls. I can say I’ve had it, not sure there’s more to say than that.
