Anyone been?
I've never been- friend from out of town is here and wanted to go last night- obviously we should've checked online because at 7pm when we got there they were already closed.
I see their ads in the Gambit, travel stuff, etc. Place doesnt look like much from the outside.
It's a block down Orleans Ave from Dooky Chase going towards Broad, and then 1 block off Orleans on St.Ann.
I doubt we'll try again while he's here, but I was maybe considering it down the road if it's any good.

I don't get all the love for the fried chicken there. I have tried it on 3 different occasions hoping that I caught them on a bad day and have not been blown away by the chicken. I do really like the side dishes though

It's good. Nothing mind blowing but good chicken and sides. Be sure to look for coupons for lunch specials. There's a different special everyday (student discount, free drink w entree, ect)

red beans > their chicken

I think it's the best fried chicken I've ever had.

Not a big fan, it's not bad though. The only thing I really got out of going is the ability to tell people I've been there when they ask about it. Which really is nothing.

Gus's makes WM's chicken taste like fried dog shite.

Sleeper hit on the Willie Mae's menu is the country style fried pork chop. That a a big plate of white beans. Then have some fried chicken for dessert.
If that is overrated, I dont want to be rated.

It's solid chicken. Memphis and Nashville have joints that are better, but that doesn't take away from Willie Mae's chicken. Check out Crabby Jack's for some really good fried chicken as well.

They put baking soda in their batter. Helps the batter get dark brown quickly, and the effervescence gives it an appealing lacy texture.
Those who can't detect the soapy/"off" flavor of the baking soda tend to think Willie Mae's is great. Those of us who can aren't so enthusiastic.
The red beans are strange, tasting almost solely of green pepper to me - virtually no pork flavor at all to my palate.
YMMV.

McHardy's is right around the corner and better chicken IMO. But be forewarned, they don't have anywhere to eat inside.
I've been to Willie Maes several times, it's still good. I find they aren't consistent. Twice it was really good and I was actually impressed. Then a couple other times I was a little let down.
Either way I believe it's worth a trip.
