"Willie Mae’s is New Orleans royalty and home to some of the country's greatest fried chicken. Translation: long lines. At their Venice location, though, the fast-casual set-up means you can sit down with your spread of fried chicken, cornbread, mac and cheese, and gumbo in under 20 minutes. If you’re in a post-beach energy crash and need something fast but filling, Willie Mae’s is a perfect option. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
