    I’ve wanted to eat at Willie Mae’s Scotch house for a very long time. Unfortunately someone has attempted to turn Willie Mae’s Scotch House rinto a bougie eatery. When ordering the chicken I asked for a thigh and a breast and was immediately told they couldn’t or wouldn’t do that. My choice was a breast and a wing or a thigh and a drumstick. I was willing to pay more was told no. There was a four piece menu offering but who could eat 4 pieces of fried chicken and I didn’t want to waste the pieces I didn’t want. BTW, the Mac-n-cheese was flat and had no flavor at all.

    The food was fantastic! The band that played (4/25 @ 8pm) was great! Ryan took excellent care of us and really seemed to care that we enjoyed ourselves. Next time we come back, we will definitely be returning.

    The fried chicken was great as advertised! Service was attentive. Dining room is noisy (we were there for lunch) but it’s a lively crowd so good people watching.
