    Don't know or care to know his name
    Sheila B.

    I had horrible customer service particularly by this man. I'm not sure of what his role is, worker, manager, owner and I don't care. I was at Maywood Festival Labor Day weekend. Ooh Wee had a stand there. With no clear direction on which line was serving what, I apparently picked the wrong one. This man spoke down to me like I was a child. Unfortunately I had to step out of my normal professional role and say things I wouldn't normally say to a brother. Regardless, I must've hurt his feelings. Don't go there! The customer service needs a LOT of improvement

    The presentation of the food was nice and the cost was reasonable. The food just had no flavor at all for it to have been a jerk chicken wrap.

    Small parking lot & limited drink options. Just a weird dining experience. It was overpriced, the food wasn't hot, the presentation was messy. Nothing remarkable about this place, the service, or food.

    Catfish dinner with Mac and cheese and yams. This meal never fails me, always good and HOT!!! Fish was well seasoned and fresh, Mac and cheese had flavor just like home and the sweet potatoes nice and sweet but not too sweet. Young lady that took my order was pleasant. Doors were open so it was hot inside and flies were flying in and out. Overall a decent place to get some home cooking

    Omg y'all. This food is absolutely amazing. I was tempted to get the Cajun Fried Fish but the hood in me had to get those Hennesy wings! EVERYTHING was fresh, hot, seasoned well, and definitely made with soulfulness. .. I really should've ordered two meals because I ate that food so fast! I don't eat from everywhere but BAYBEE! They are getting my money again. So glad I stopped in. OOooo Weee It was so good The customer service was pleasant, the atmosphere was calm and not too crowded. I wouldn't mind eating in there. Also! They have a Cereal Bar! I don't eat cereal but I was impressed with the whole concept of food here.

    The food is decent ..I didn't like the fried fish because it didn't have much seasoning or a taste to it or maybe just the breading on it was not good. I love the jerk chicken salad and they give you a lot of salad too. You definitely get your moneys worth. The tea and lemonade are good but it is very very sweet like it has a lot of sugar in it.

    Pot Roast Cupcake
    Marie F.

    When they opened up this location, I knew that I would finally be able to try this restaurant. I went on a Sunday, and It was kind of busy but not anything like the original location. They do have a few tables for you to have a seat and eat at, but majority is take out. I ordered a Pot Roast Cupcake and the Chicken Tips with Macaroni & Cheese and Dressing. The Pot Roast Cupcake was amazing and I would get it over and over again. The Chicken Tips were very salty. Macaroni & Cheese was good but could use a little salt and the Dressing was good. Overall, I would be back to try something different and to get me another Pot Roast Cupcake. The Pricing was average and the customer service was good.

    Good southern food at a reasonable price. Stopped in this location one day after work and was surprised to see the sitting areas is basically self service. There are no waiters to serve you. Here's the deal, you place your order when you walk in and then you wait. We secured a table to dine in, picked up our food when our name was called and we dined in. The portion size was good, the taste is superb so I will return but probably wouldn't dine in.

    Grits and pot roast
    Michele B.

    The food was very salty. The pot roast was tender but salty. My mom ordered baked chicken and yams with greens she didn't like the greens at all. I ordered from the one on 83rd but it came from the one western. The mac and cheese and yams were good. Pot roast and grits were tasty. They need to ease up on the salt. I don't need high blood pressure and not getting ready to start now. I have to 3 different restaurant I get a different experience from them all. The yams and mac and cheese is always on point. I wll try the pot roast again but in a different store.

    Oooh Wee!

    Parking absolutely sucks! But once you are inside the restaurant, your mind can relax. Small, clean space with a variety of southern accents. The aromas really get you going; you would like to order a little bit of everything because it smells so good. Instead decide to focus on the dinners. Which were really good choices. By the way, portion sizes are enough to have for lunch the following day. During your wait, please listen out for your names. The servers are not that loud, and if it's crowded it will be a bit loud inside. Overall, I would return.

    Catfish dinner.  Pieces overcooked and extremely small.

    DoorDash person here. ordered the catfish. please see below what was sent to me. overcooked horribly and such small pieces it was crazy. I also received no cornbread. wasnt worth the 22 dollars. received overcooked Mac n cheese on my last order, also with no cornbread. Please pick up your game ohh wee it is. you have a true fan here, but I must let you know when you send me smaller overcooked fish and overcooked Mac n cheese on my last order, 2 times in a row. it's making me nervous to eat here. Seems like you don't care anymore.

    After years of visiting the 24-hour location on Cicero in Oak Lawn, my dad and I finally landed…read moreearly enough to try the Pulaski location. It may be the original location, or that honor may go to the yet unvisited-by-me third location closer to the Loop, but in any case, this Huck Finn definitely feels different from the one I'm used to. The lighting fixtures, booths, and art all have the same tacky early-2000s feel as the other location, but that's where the similarities end. This one is much smaller, although its dessert-case area has its own tables, and the outside of the building advertises ice cream. This Huck Finn feels like a coffee shop, which is probably why my dad says he likes it more than the "original"--original to us, at least. It has a counter, and while the building looks large from outside, it has about half the seating of Oak Lawn. There's a funky mirror near the bathrooms that makes it look like there's a back dining room--or possibly a Den of Iniquities like the original--but it's all an optical illusion. Service is quick and efficient, as it is at Oak Lawn. Our server, though, was a familiar no-nonsense throwback to an earlier time. Oak Lawn has some of those, but most of its servers are younger women with the thickest Chicago/Great Lakes accents you'll ever hear. (Seriously, although they're all under thirty-five, they sound like they're about to start collecting Social Security.) She was short on small talk, but she made up for it with sass and a whole lot of hard work. The food is good, although the menu is more limited than Oak Lawn's. One thing I don't like is that the menus are flimsy printouts. Oak Lawn at least has laminated pages, although I miss the old multi-page booklet-style menus. Oh well. They have Texas and Alaska donuts here, so it's a legit Huck Finn. It's physically possible to make a left turn onto Pulaski from their parking lot, but I think it's illegal, as you'd have to cross a quadruple yellow line. I spotted two cop cars near here, one when we were arriving, and one when we left, so be careful out there.

    The staff did an amazing job making a pizza burger for me without a bun or cheese. I really…read moreappreciated the hospitality and the attention to detail. And it only took the kitchen about ten minutes to make my meal. Highly recommend Huck Finn Restaurant on Pulaski. I'll be going back soon.
