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.

Catfish.  Sweet potatoes.  Mac and cheese.

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

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.

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.

Fried fish with yams and Mac and cheese

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.

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.

A cereal breakfast bar.

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.

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.

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.

Fried chicken with a side of Mac n cheese & rice w/ gravy

I ordered fried chicken and was sent unseasoned party wings w/ hair on them. Plus a side of Mac n cheese that you couldn't tell from the pic what it was bc of how burnt the dish was. Very disappointed in the quality of this food. Do better, I wouldn't even serve this to my dog.

The hostess was insightful and inviting, like eating at someone's house who loves you. Outside of all of that the Mediterranean lamb was phenomenal. As someone who has eaten lamb in the Middle East this was delightful, with the rice and flavorful kale it's a wonderful bite full. Large serving sizes...and that grilled pound cake lawd

Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.

Went to Soul Food Lounge for a birthday dinner. The space is pretty small and every seat was taken,…read moreso there is really nowhere to wait if you do not have reservations. Definitely book ahead. We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

Because it was a busy holiday we had a reservation made for 1:30 pm, and of course my friend group was running a little late but they were so friendly and accommodating. There was a 90 minute time limit to eat due to how busy the day was, but they were so kind to start the clock after everyone in our party showed up. Now for the good stuff! The food? Phenomenal! On the menu they have a special called the Grand Tasting where you can get 3 sampler entrees and a free glass of champagne or wine (red or white), all for $69. Everyone in my group decided to get this deal so we could all sample one another's food. I ordered the Tuffle Lobster Mac and Cheese, The Carolina Creamy Shrimp and Grits, and the Sicilian Sriracha Chicken Parmigiana. Everything was fantastic, so incredibly delicious. For the entrees to be samples they were a pretty decent size. The shrimp and grits and the Mac and cheese were absolutely perfect 10/10. I wish there was a location in the suburbs I would go here all the time! Huge thank you to the staff for their great hospitality. I almost forgot to mention that this place has live music, which definitely helps create an enjoyable vibe while you're dining. This place is a must try!!

Passed by this spot while on my way to visit family in the area. Decided to stop in later. Got…read morethere about half an hour after they opened. Placed two orders. One was baked catfish with macaroni and cheese and cabbage. Fish was cajun, which the New Orleans in me liked. The macaroni and cheese was probably the first batch from the kitchen, so it was good. The cabbage was my favorite and I have a feeling that it may be because they were cooked with onions. I ate this onsite at the outdoor patio while they prepared my second order for takeaway. The second order was fried catfish, spaghetti, and mustards/turnips mix. Catfish had a bit of a Louisiana fry taste to the batter. Yep, I approved. The spaghetti was a good side and I enjoyed the greens with the corn muffin crumbled in it. Good thing I ate this when I got home because nothing like some hot sauce on the fish to kick it up a notch. Jamison's is a walk-up. When it's nice outside, sitting on the patio is a good option. I have a feeling it may get busy as the day progresses. I recommend getting there early. If I'm in the area and it's early, I'll stop by again.

Food is terrible and the customer service is worse. The temperatures of the food are not appropriate temperature at times after sitting out all day it's a wonder why the health department has not noticed or how even the restaurant are sill in business with all of their issues.
