jgmpuma Posted February 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2019 They are very different places. Willie Mae's is smaller, with a more limited menu, and famous for her fried chicken. Dookie Chase is a good bit larger, with a more varied menu, and lots of soul food. Both have on-line menus. Coin toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltshell Posted February 16, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Went to Willie Maes yesterday. Amazing. I grew up in the south and found all the accoladed's duly earned. There is a line, always, but it moves quickly. Took an uber both ways, easy and affordable; around $8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I went to Willie Mae's last month. $7 uber. 10 minute wait in line. Absolutely loved the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeton123211 Posted March 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Like others have said-- very different types of experiences and easily a coin toss. But if you're pressed for time I would go with Willie Maes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CynCyn Posted April 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I love them both. Dooky Chase has a great buffet that lets you try a little bit of everything. If you go as soon about 11 or 11:30, you won’t have as long of a wait. If you go to Willie Mae’s I’d suggest that everyone in the group pick a different side. I’ve never liked green beans or Lima beans until I ate them there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted August 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I had only tried Willie Mae's last time. Outstanding. I'm sure Dookey Chase would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
