Willie Mae’s did not disappoint. The chicken and egg was delicious. The service was great. The ambience was nice. It wasn’t too loud. The food was tasty and perfect portions. Overall a good value. Would recommend to friends old and new.

Very well planned Creole and Cajun menu. Excellent assortment for everyone. Only comment, portion sizes are huge. Might be worth splitting a plate. The catfish Decatur had the best jambalaya I've ever had.

We had a wonderful dinner. Everything was delicious. Our waiter Jimmy was absolutely thrilled delightful. He really made our evening so special. The service was fantastic and our dinner was great! Jimmy suggested the white chocolate bread pudding. It was the best bread pudding we have ever had. We can’t wait to go back. Restaurant Rebirth is one of our new favorite places to dine.

Me and my friend sat at the bar. The food was really good. My favorite was surprisingly the Caesar salad. The Smashburger was also good. Love the ambience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The only issue I had was parking and the line. We ended up parking on some side street walking distance from the restaurant. This normally wouldn’t be an issue but it was raining real heavy that day. Also, I will give credit to the security who checked us in and ensured our reservations were honored. I can only imagine the headache it would’ve been had we not gotten reserved seating.
