Peppery fried chicken & classic soul food sides, family-run
"A famous fried-chicken shop in the Seventh Ward recommended as a pre-game purchase to carry on the walk to the stadium; Nicole Cabrera Mills says the texture’s so good “it’ll last all day.”" - Adam H. Callaghan
"McHardy’s on North Broad serves up some of New Orleans’ best fried chicken at some of the most affordable prices in town, made by one of the nicest families you’ll ever meet. The peppery and dark McHardy’s chicken won the 2018 “best fried chicken” at the ultra-competitive New Orleans Fried Chicken Festival. Always busy and ever-efficient with huge Mardi Gras orders, the sides are just as good as the chicken, especially the fried okra, rice and beans, and mac and cheese." - Beth D’Addono
"“It ain’t a party without McHardy’s,” as New Orleanians know, but this applies to this family-run favorite’s wings, too. They’re available in honey barbecue or just fried, and like the fried chicken, are well-priced, especially the 50 or 100-count party trays." - Beth D’Addono
"While the 7th Ward gets to claim this quick-serve gem on Broad, it’s close enough to the neighborhood to serve as its go-to fried chicken destination. That fried chicken is some of New Orleans’s finest: peppery, rich, and full of flavor. The sides are just as good as the chicken, especially the fried okra, rice and beans, and mac and cheese. Affordable and always busy." - Beth D’Addono
"I swing by McHardy’s on Broad for fried chicken to-go that’s rich and peppery, along with killer sides like fried okra, rice and beans, and mac and cheese." - Beth D’Addono
