  Hi hi 👋 back for more adventures from my trip to New Orleans ✨️ ☺️nnThank you all for helping me reach 13 million views. Please remind to like if you wanna see more reviews like this.
  
  Here's your review:nnMiss Eunice Hunt from Jazzy Hats shop in the French Quarter told me to go here when I said I needed some real shrimp and grits. And let me tell you!!!!!!
  
  They are celebrating 10 years of service as of 2025. The smells were great, they are health conscious, have milk alternatives for the café drinks, have REAL King cake served by the slice and you can pre order a whole one for $40.
  
  They make their biscuits from scratch, they has croissants, cookies, cakes, muffins, corn bread, pecan pie with a unique twist, and of course the shrimp and grits were soooooo flavorful.
  
  The staff were extremely friendly and diverse! 10/10 I will be back here as part of my New Orleans tradition from now on. Please take a look and all of the photos I've shared from my experience to give you a glimps from my point of view. I ordered to go and had my brunch poolside at my hotel and yes it was worth the wait!
  
  Enjoy!

  Cute brunch restaurant! It’s was really busy on a Saturday morning but the 30 minute wait went pretty quickly while walking around the area. I got the fried chicken biscuit and it was so good! The fried chicken was amazing but wish it was a bit spicier and had less honey and the biscuit was good but not the best I’ve had in New Orleans.

  Had a breakfast here and let's start out that the pastries That were very nice. We had eggs at our table of all kinds.
  Abby our server made some suggestions for us and I went with the Crawfish Omelet that she suggested but s믭 the potatos out for thier biscuit... I tasted the potatoes they were also delicious but the biscuit was the best I had all week in New Orleans! The Crawfish Omelet was filled with Crawfish Mozzarella and spices. It was a nice omelet smaller in size than the others I had this week but good. My friend had the veggie omelet but be sure to like Mushrooms as it is filled with mushrooms. Loud and large space Abby was great and kept us feed well.

  YEE DOGGIES this is amazingly good! The wait is ridiculous so join the wait-list early online. The chicken and waffles (5/5) were amazing - perfectly seasoned crispy chicken with a lovely sweet and unique kick from the pecans and the marshmallow and earthiness from the potato waffle. Like wow.
  
  The biscuit and gravy (5/5) also fire. Thick sausage chunks with a savory, creamy gravy and a very well done, flaky, buttery biscuit. This and bear cat were my favorite biscuits in NOLA. The short rib bowl (4/5) was very good but not as good as the other stuff. Shrimp and grits (3.5/5) were okay. Service is also super nice.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Willa JeannnWilla Jean was the perfect welcome to New Orleans—comfort food, warmth, and hospitality all wrapped into one unforgettable meal. The ambiance feels like you’re sitting at home with family, surrounded by the smell of fresh baked treats drifting from the kitchen. Our large group was greeted with genuine kindness, and the staff made sure everyone felt taken care of.
  
  I ordered the chicken and waffles, the hangover bowl with a side of brisket, and some fresh orange juice. The chicken and waffles were a standout twist on a Southern classic: a sweet potato waffle topped with rum sauce, spiced pecans, and marshmallows. It sounds bold, but every flavor worked together beautifully—familiar, comforting, and still completely unique.
  
  The hangover bowl was everything I love in one dish. The short rib was tender and seasoned the way my grandmother used to make it, paired with caramelized onions, roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, and all of it nestled into creamy, cheesy grits. This bowl was hearty, rich, and downright delicious. Honestly, it should come with a nap afterward.
  
  Before we even sat down, I was told Willa Jean is known for its biscuits, and now I understand why. They’re fluffy in the middle, golden on the outside, and absolutely worth the hype.
  
  If you’re in New Orleans and want to experience where flavor and hospitality meet, Willa Jean is a must. Whenever I return to the city, this will be a stop I come back to without hesitation.
