Willie Mae's Scotch House

We had an incredible experience... and our server August was so funny and on it! The fried chicken, mac and cheese, catfish, fried shrimp, creole potato salad and fried okra were incredible... the sweet tea is brewed fresh! and the soft women of r&b music was perfect for a Saturday morning! We loved it... 5 kids ages 8-12 (who are well behaved and love food) called it “the best” and we all can't wait to come back!

If you want to experience all the best flavors or NOLA. This is your spot. The fried chicken is pure perfection. Devil eggs brought a tear to my eye and i don't even like Devil eggs .. Run there

Everything I heard about Willie Mae's Nola was EXACTLY to the expectations. I will be coming back.

Sure! Here's a polished version of your restaurant review: ⸻ We had a great dining experience overall. Our server, Brionne (sp?), provided excellent service—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. The fried chicken was especially tasty, perfectly seasoned and crispy. Most of the sides were enjoyable, though the macaroni and cheese was a bit of a letdown. Unfortunately, a few of the menu items we were hoping to try weren't available, both entrees and sides. Still, despite those limitations, we left satisfied and would definitely recommend.

Service was wonderful. Ryan was very nice, offered suggestions and was super attentive. The fried chicken is the main attraction but the smothered catfish is a superstar!

My mom and I were in town visiting family, and my mom heard of this restaurant, and wanted to check it out. We went, and enjoyed a fantastic meal. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area

Great food and the service was wonderful . Food came out quick and that chicken was finger licking good

Simple! If you haven't eaten at Willie Mae's you are missing out. This is a New Orleans standard!

We came here to celebrate our anniversary last night, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! From the moment we were seated, the staff made us feel so special — they even brought us two glasses of champagne to kick off the evening. Such a thoughtful touch! The food was incredible. We started with the gumbo, and wow — it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For our main course, we both had the fried chicken with red beans, and it did not disappoint. Crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken. But the star of the night might have been the dessert — the praline bread pudding. It was warm, sweet, and absolutely outstanding. We savored every bite. The service was excellent throughout — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We had such an amazing experience and can't recommend this place enough. It made our anniversary dinner truly memorable!

We go there every three months usually. As my friend says, it's the best fried chicken in the world. The shrimp tacos I had were also very good, and so are the sides.

We read about this place prior to leaving for our first visit to NOLA and were excited to try it for southern fried chicken. Unfortunately, this place was the worst dining experience of our trip. Way over rated and over priced. Service was bad and the seating was to close together and we had a very demanding neighbor to make the experience even worse. The chicken is nothing special, Popeyes has better chicken than this place. The fried okra was overcooked, the mac and cheese wasn't special either, and the potato salad was just plain. We would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money somewhere else as there's so many wonderful places to eat in NOLA.

It was very hot in the dining area and the water could have used some ice. The food was great though!

Amazing food. And amazing service. We had the best time. I'm telling everyone I know to eat here.

i had a great experience until i asked for permission to leave our bags waiter said yes we walked down the street and paid for admission to titanic then got a call to come back and get them not a great ending since i have a husband with a walker who cant handle the luggage

I've wanted to eat at Willie Mae's Scotch house for a very long time. Unfortunately someone has attempted to turn Willie Mae's Scotch House rinto a bougie eatery. When ordering the chicken I asked for a thigh and a breast and was immediately told they couldn't or wouldn't do that. My choice was a breast and a wing or a thigh and a drumstick. I was willing to pay more was told no. There was a four piece menu offering but who could eat 4 pieces of fried chicken and I didn't want to waste the pieces I didn't want. BTW, the Mac-n-cheese was flat and had no flavor at all.
