We loved the ambiance and the welcoming vibe. The fried chicken was so hot, steam appeared as we tore the breast in half. It was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. The mac & cheese, butter beans and cabbage tasted amazing! The cornbread was so buttery and scrumptious. Our server Arianne, was very pleasant and kind. Thank you! We arrived from the airport and the first place, my son wanted to dine at, was Willie Mae’s Nola! I highly recommend dining here. It is the best!

I have been wanting to come to maypop for awhile. I wanted to support them due to their unfortunate closure for weeks due to the building collapsing across street. It was amazing! The food, the service, and the extremely nice and helpful staff. We both had the chef’s meal so we could try a variety of dishes. Every thing was so good. The flavors were amazing. I will be back. Hopefully the street will reopen soon, but it was well worth navigating the street closures to get there!!!!

Food is amazing, 2nd time to go, and service is always so friendly and good. Aside from being amazing food it is different. I love traditional French formal dining but you can get that more places. This is not your average food and always things I have never heard of or rarely get at fine dining
