Oooh Wee It Is

Ayo Edebiri made us come here:Here to review the restaurant and the restaurant only. Easy to get to off the interstate. Upon turning into the parking lot we were greeted by the valet, which was very reasonably priced and the guys working were very pleasant. We were greeted by the hostesses as soon as we walked in and placed on a waiting list. It was a busy Saturday lunch but the staff seemed to be handling it well. We were sat within 10 minutes in a corner table by the kitchen. Loved the open kitchen, the cooks on the line seemed locked in. The tall young lady in the braids, I assumed was the owner or manager that day was very polite and checked on us a few times. Our server, Daniesha was busy but never skipped a beat. She took our order in a reasonable time and made sure everything was good. NOW FOR THE FOOD: Of course we ordered the pot roast cupcake: it was delicious... the pot roast was flavorful and the cake was sweet which complimented the savory roast well. We ordered: Cajun Green tomatoes, the Oxtail palate with rice & gravy and Mac & Cheese, the Grilled Shrimp & Grits with a side of candied yams. The food came out piping hot, the portions were HUGE, and everything was well seasoned. Being from Louisiana I have high standards about food (TASTE in particular) and honestly everything was delicious. I was very pleased with the size of the oxtail. They were big, meaty pieces and the gravy was so good. My wife loved the flavor on the shrimp and grits and said the yams were some of the best she's had. Everything was reasonably priced and honestly we had a great experience. Looking forward to bringing my family here when they visit.

Went to the 83rd street location on a Saturday at 1pm with a party of 6. We were sat immediately. We ordered dessert for an appetizer, which I recommend. If we hadn't, we would have been too full to try it, and it was worth it. The peach cobbler was hot, and the caramel cake was cold. Both were delicious. I had the pot roast with green beans and creole corn. The pot roast and corn were delicious. The green beans were the best I've ever had. I was surprised by how much I liked them. The meal came with corn bread which tasted a bit like cake. So so good. The portions were plenty, so come hungry. I tasted the Mac and cheese. Hands down the best Mac and cheese I have had at any restaurant. I also tried the Obama sweet tea. It tasted more like fruit punch, and I will order that for myself next time. The service was great. The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and private. Will definitely be back. *no pictures of the desserts because we ate them too quickly.

This restaurant is cool nice ambiance. The service is good and the last time I went they did have security. Big on the inside.

Garbage!!!!! I HATE THIS PLACE AND WILL NEVER GO BACK! I paid cash just to avoid waiting to get the hell out--that bad! Ohhh Weee compounded. Yuk

Awwww man. This place is on to something with regard to Soul Food. Like most, I'm more familiar and comfortable with this establishment's sweet tea/ lemonade. Very delicious by the way. So why not give them a go for food?! Shall we... Upon entering, on a Saturday afternoon during rush time, we were sat immediately and given glasses of water and menus. From the first look at the menu, my friend and I just knew we were about to drop bank lol We ordered the fried green tomatoes, two pot roast muffins and the Hennessy wings appetizers (8 ct). For the entree, I did the fried catfish meal with gravy rice and candied yams. My friend chose the baked chicken with yams, Mac and cheese and greens. Your entree only comes with two sides; she ordered a separate side. She only chose to order the Obama lemonade. Let's get into this review now. Fried green tomatoes - love love love the crispiness, the flavor and the pinch of heat that comes with it. Wasn't a fan of the guacamole sauce to match but it's a cute touch. I do wish it wasn't as salty but what southern spice isn't? The Hennessy wings - boiiiiii this are tender! Sweet but not too much. You taste ever so lightly a smiiiidge of the liquor but you'd have to be looking for it to spot it. Pot roast muffin - wasn't a fan. The meat was lukewarm. The mash potatoes were hard and the muffin tasted sweeter than jiffy mix. Almost as if I were eating a Molly's cupcake. The gravy was the best part but I wish it were more because my muffin wasn't moist enough. Catfish meal - crispy and tender. Perf combo. Seasoning was great and different from the fried green tomatoes so that was a plus. The rice and gravy was good but again needed more gravy and the rice was under cooked. The candied yams were decent. Too many large chunks of potatoes though. My cornbread was ehhh. Felt grainy like it wasn't cooked all the way. My friend said the baked chicken was tender, juicy and flavorable. She would definitely get it again. The mac and cheese was a bit and the greens were alright. All in all, we both paid about $50 including tax and tip. That's not bad... at all. Considering other places are charging A la carte for Everything, this is a 100/100. Even the service made us feel welcomed as if we were in the south. They were quick and attentive. There was always someone within an inch reach to ask for something if you needed it.

So, here we are at the INCREDIBLE "Oooh Wee! It is" Soulfood restaurant on 83rd South side!!!!! We just got our apps. Fried Green Tomatoes and Pot roast Dip. I gotta tell you, the sheer FLAVORFUL DECADENCE is palpable! We are not done yet, folks, for this is just the appetizer portion of the meal. Stay tuned for the main course, y'all!So, as expected, the main courses were even better than imagined. If you wouldn't mind great food, atmosphere, and service, go ahead and step it on over to OOOH WEE! When I tell you it's worth it, I mean THAT! Bon Appétit

The food was really good, sides great, meat tender and the customer service was great! I wasn't the best fan of the catfish but overall a great place ad I would return.

I was excited to check out Oooh Wee it is. The Hyde Park location is predominantly closed, so once I saw a site of 90 94, I gave it a shot. The interior is fun. There are little spots for photo ops and some nostalgia with a comic book theme for the kid breakfast area. The dining area is delicate as well. There is parking, but it is limited. I ended up parking down the block. We were seated right away, but the wait staff took quite a bit to get to us. For drinks, my sister tried the Obama, which was very tasty and sweet.I got the smothered baked chicken, mac and cheese, and yams, which came with cornbread. I will note I asked for a peach cobbler but the waiter never followed up. The chicken was Barely lukewarm warm, which was interesting because the yams and mac were hot. This is a massive issue because the baked chicken was the main course and cost the most. Also, I got smothered baked chicken, and there was no gravy, and the portion of chicken was a bit small for the price. However, it was still good. The yams were a delight. My mom had pretty much the same issues with chicken. Her sides were mashed potatoes and greens, the meal's highlight. Whoever made the greens needs to be complemented. My sister got the Salmon salad, which she enjoyed. It was a substantial portion. Overall, the experience was very mediocre. The food was flavorful but was not temperature checked and took entirely too long. Other people were complaining near us about the quality of the food temperature as well. I think Ooo Wee has a lot of potential but needs a good runner of the ship to keep morale and food quality up. I would give this first experience 3 out of 5.

We went on a Sunday and it was about a 30 minute wait but oh baby was it worth it!!! Everything we good was so good! I only had one complaint and that is, I ordered the oxtail dinner and I got 1 oxtail & 3 oxtail bones but when I let my waiter know she happily put a order in for a oxtail and came out with a large plate of oxtails for free. That was awesome of her & she was tipped well!

They are never open. I purchased 3 of their Groupon 1 expired, and the other 2 will probably expire also because they are never open. I tried calling them but never get an answer .I contacted Groupon and filed a complaint. I want my money refunded if I can't redeem my purchases.
