★★★★☆ 4.0 Rod H · Feb 2026

I’ve gone a few times and enjoyed every time. Good smothered pork chops, fried chicken, Hennessy wings, catfish, however the beef short ribs 10/10!! The sides are pretty good. I usually get rice and gravy, Mac and cheese, or greens. I’ll give the sides a solid 7/10. They fry to order so it can be a wait for certain items.

I ordered through Uber Eats I got the pot roast, they literally gave me a small piece of pot roast and the rest was vegetables lol. Food is very salty! I wouldn’t order here again, such a rip off. I paid too much money for this plate to get a piece of meat lol.

Okay the food use to be good, however things have changed. My most recent visit I ordered smothered chicken. It was baked chicken, and they poured gravy over it, the chicken was not done, it literally was blood inside. I had string beans that was over seasoned the whole meal was terrible. I couldn't even eat it. This isn't the first time either, I decided to do the review this time just to let them know. I'm done with Oh Wee, I spent over $40 and both dinners were terrible.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Lauren Maddox · Mar 2026

Overall, my experience was just okay. I ordered the baked chicken with greens and green beans. Unfortunately, the baked chicken was very dry and lacked flavor. The greens and green beans were decent and probably the best part of the meal, but nothing particularly memorable. What was most disappointing, however, was the cucumber mint lemonade. It was advertised as a “customer favorite,” which made me expect something fresh and unique. Instead, it tasted exactly like regular powdered lemonade—very similar to Country Time or Crystal Light. There was no noticeable cucumber or mint flavor at all. It honestly felt misleading given how it was promoted on the menu. I understand that not every dish will be perfect, but advertising a drink as a specialty or favorite when it tastes like basic powde

Pretty bad food. Avoid at all costs unless you like the caustic high salt and high sugar. Vegetarian here. So usually I get whatever side platter there is. 3 sides for the price is a rip off. Should be 4 minimum. Greens too vinegary and salty. Made my stomach upset. Sweet potatoes are just pure sugar. The mac is barley passable. When I went inside to the location some manager was there chewing out some staff. Just total disregard for atmosphere.
