Oooh Wee! It Is! Smothered Potatoes Breakfast Bar
Chicago Opened March 2026
Soul food breakfast, back in a bigger room
Oooh Wee! It Is! closed in 2024. It reopened in March 2026 in a larger Chatham space on Cottage Grove, in the building Reggio's Pizza vacated, backed by the Anderson Group.
The originals came back with it: smothered pork chops, and the loaded pot roast cupcakes, cornbread muffins topped with mashed potato and pot roast. Newer additions include waffles under Hennessy wings. The name promises smothered potatoes, and the kitchen still treats them as the centre of the menu rather than a side.
