The Will & The Way — Restaurant in New Orleans

This place is the best!!! My friend and I parked across the street from the Will & the Way while getting ready to hit Bourbon Street for the night. I def needed to eat beforehand because you know we were getting ready to drink A LOT. The small little black hanging sign that said DRINKS caught my eye and it looked like an interesting place to get a drink and decide where to eat. Well we didn't have to look any further! This place is small inside but so well put together. The Courtyard out back is beautiful too! The Bartender, Tristan, was so nice (and Cute) and helpful! He suggested drinks and food. I couldn't choose between the Salt & Pepper Chicken and the Roasted Sweet Corn Tamale. He recommended the Tamale and I'm SO glad he did! Their food is to DIE FOR! The drinks were too... awesome drinks! This is hands down one of the top 3 places I've ever eaten in NOLA, and I've been visiting the City for 36 years! Try the Gold Rush Cocktail... Bourbon, Lemon, and Honey! I can't believe I'd never tried that before since it's my 3 favorite things to put in any kind of drink! A cold hot toddy kind of thing only WAYYY better!! And if you're a vegetarian like me, there's plenty of options, including the Korean French Fries 🍟, the Roasted Sweet Corn Tamale 🫔 and so much more (Try the Pickle Platter!!!). You just can't go wrong. I'll definitely be back next time I...

Not a fan. The drinks were mediocre at best & the service was inconsistent. The ambiance & food was good.

We ordered 1st round of drinks & water with the early crew. I was surprised they tasted kinda gross. Hoping for redemption with the night crew we ordered food & 2nd round of diff drinks. These drinks were not good either. Very surprised bc I'd heard good things about this place. This now means we've ordered 4 mediocre drinks off the reg specialty cocktail menu. The saving grace of my experience was the food. When we asked for more water the bartender said I'd have to retrieve my own water. I mentioned that 1st crew gave us water & we didn't want to get up bc we were eating. She basically stood her ground & refused to give us water then walked away & immediately went outside to smoke. I looked down the bar & saw bottles of water for guests sitting on top the bar 2 chairs down! So, even tho 1st bartender served it to us I got up & retrieved my own water as 2nd rude bartender demanded. Y'all! Is it really that hard when someone asks kindly to b served water? If all I wanted was water I def understand but we had 2 rounds of drinks & food....really?!?! News flash, common courtesy goes a long way.....as well as consistent service. Needless to say bad drinks & rude bartenders = bad experience Def...

BEST CHEESEBURGER IN MY LIFE. This is one of just a handful of reviews I've ever bothered to leave for a restaurant, but I had to share how incredible this food was. We hit some of the highest rated restaurants during our visit to New Orleans, but this place blew them all out of the water. I was so sad when I finished my cheeseburger because it meant I couldn't have any more of it (my wife wouldn't let me order another one to go). Plus, my wife has Celiac Disease, and I couldn't get enough of her food either. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and their chicken wings were better than any other wings I've had. I love Frank's Buffalo sauce, but I would cut you if you tried to put it on these wings. Finally, the fries were perfect. They were crispy and had the most amazing seasoning. I got a to-go order on the way to the airport, and it was even better the second time. They have a cute courtyard, but who cares because the food is the best you can find. I will never again visit New Orleans without...
