    Crab cake sandwich and seafood mac
    Marie S.

    4.5 stars A little hard to find. The front entrance had kind of a weird smell to it, but otherwise the decor was cute. Service was quick and friendly. I got the crab cake BLT and upgraded my side for the seafood mac (piled high with crab) - delicious. It came out to about $39 with tax and tip. 2026 #19

    Caribbean Lamb Chop
    Kiana M.

    Well Miss Toyas never disappoints. What another amazing experience. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly hostess who immediately took us to our table. From there we were greeted by our waiter who was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. He was a great waiter. After viewing the menu we chose to order the Caribbean lamb chops with sweet potatoes and garlic spinach as well as the chargrilled oysters. The oysters were phenomenal. They had great Cajun flavor and cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were delicious as well. They were cooked to my desired temperature. They were very flavorful and tender. The spinach and sweet potatoes were delicious as well. The ambiance was very nice. Quiet with a good r&b playlist playing in the background. We went for an early dinner so it was great . I recommending trying it if you are in the area.

    I went there today for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is beautiful. The staff is fantastic! We had the best service from our server (I didn't catch her name but she was extra sweet). I'm holding back a couple of stars for food and ambience . I ordered the fried deviled eggs for a starter. Great idea but it was a tad dry. For my entree I had fried catfish and grits. Cooked very well but the grits seemed a bit bland. There was a performer playing the saxophone today for the brunch. He was very entertaining but the whole set up was so loud I could barely hear what my friend was saying. I would go back again but maybe on a Tuesday evening.

    Jambalaya oysters

    Ok I was skeptical bc the reviews aren't that great but my friend has been here and said the food was good! I ordered the jambalaya oysters, small size gumbo and the voodoo shrimp! My issue is our food came out before the drinks like 30 MINUTES before! I don't like that! Cocktails are always first! And I can understand if it was busy but there was almost no one here! Either way, we got all our food before the drinks and the voodoo shrimp was my fav! Not too spicy but just right amount of heat! The jambalaya oysters were good but something was missing with the seasoning. The smaller version of gumbo was good and bigger than expected which is always a plus! The restaurant itself was cute with nice ambiance! All in all, I would go again but I would hope they get it together with their customer service. No one should have to wait over 30 minutes for some basic cocktails

    I don't do trendy and this place is packed (allegedly) on the weekend so I've never done brunch, which is apparently a huge draw, but I decided to take myself for an impromptu week day happy hour. Tragically, there were 8 people there at 5:30 on a Thursday. I sat in the bar because it was dimmer and cozier and the bartender was polite if slow. He listened to my specifications and made a couple of recommendations, but I ended up just ordering small plates because it was just me and I didn't want to waste food. I ordered collards, fried green tomatoes and the fried deviled eggs. Baby. It was all fire. But I wish I'd gotten an entree after all because I ended up with to go boxes anyway. One note for the collards, they're a bit low on the dimension in the seasonings and they definitely add a bit more sugar than I like (if I can taste it, it's tew much!!!) so get the hot sauce! And the fried green tomatoes are crisp, definitely the perfect texture but they're stingy with the sauce just ask for extra up front. That said, I will be back. The ambiance is lovely and the menu is phenomenal and I'd love to try the lamb chops, so I must revisit. The music is 90s R&B IYKYK and it's definitely an ideal date spot for the 40+ crowd so it's in the shortlist for date night. Overall 8/10.

    Had a great visit to Miss Toya's for lunch. The Host, Wait, and Bar staff were great. The Wait staff were very attentive. Natalie ensured my party always had beverages and food coming to the table. We tried smoked old fashions and Louisiana Tea. Both drinks were great. Smoked old fashion comes to the table with wooden smoking cap on it. When it was removed, all of those wonderful flavored smoke were released. For lunch, we tried the burgers and gumbo. Burgers looked good. The gumbo looked fantastic. I will say, growing up in the South, that the gumbo tasted a little lighter in flavor than I was expecting, but it was still a good meal. To end the lunch, we closed out with espresso martinis with Baileys on the side. I look forward to my next visit.

    Such a wonderful experience! Stopped here for lunch with my sister and dad on a Thursday afternoon. The place was otherwise empty aside from a handful of people sat at the bar. We were sat at a booth and were greeted by our server Adrianna. We ordered some drinks and the seafood egg rolls. They came out hot and fresh and were delicious with the remoulade sauce. I also had the jambalaya oysters and the honey Caribbean salmon. Those oysters were the star of the show and I will be coming back JUST for those. The salmon was a nice hearty filet, tender and juicy. My father had the shrimp and grits and licked his plate clean. My sister had the gumbo and said that was delicious as well. We had the pleasure of having the manager Lance come sit with us during the last few mins of our meal and he let us know about their weekend brunch and other items on the menu that are his favorite. The drinks were strong and the ambiance was amazing. I can't wait to come back and see what the brunch vibe is like!

    Location: Downtown Silver Spring behind Ellsworth Parking: Available in multiple parking lots near Ellsworth mall Reservation: Reservations are available and walk-ins are welcome Drink: Strawberry lemonade 5 delicious and sweet Entree: Catfish and grits with a side of home fries 5 Nice large piece of perfectly seasoned catfish. The grits were creamy with a tasty sauce. The breakfast potatoes was delicious 4 Tip: They do not offer togo cups. Not sure why, but I didn't press the issue. Overall, this was a nice visit. The food and drink were delicious. The waitress was attentive and the food was delivered fairly quickly. Besides not offering a togo cup, I enjoyed the visit. I would recommend a visit.

    The service, place and food were great! We were sat by a window. Our waitress was very pleasant and nice. It wasn't loud and just perfect for conversing. The food was fast, hot and full of flavor! Must try the seafood fried rice and jambalaya oysters they are excellent! Ended with beignets and ice cream for my sister friend's birthday and they were tasty! I look forward to returning!!

    Brunch is low key chill vibes and delicious! They had a dj playing R&b and hip hop music. Also they had a saxophone player.Price is $55 per person all you can eat,ordered plate by plate. Plenty of food options from steak to crab legs to French toast.I enjoyed the crab legs and deviled eggs topped with crab and oysters. And good customer service ! I highly recommend.

    We went to Miss Toya's Creole restaurant for our anniversary on Friday, 13 June. But there is no bad luck just good food. We both had fish. I have the red snapper. My husband had catfish.. The catfish was perfectly fried because the meat was tender, but not greasy. I also treated myself to seafood mac & cheese, which was more seafood than pasta, which is a switch. Usually restaurants will fill it up with cheese and macaroni and give you a little bits of seafood. Not Miss Toya. They were a couple of shrimp, big shrimps. And lots of seafood tucked inside of the creamy and very cheesy gooey gooey cheesy mac & cheese. I brought home the sauce that came with the fish because I didn't want the fish taste to be masked with the sauce cause it tasted so good. So I'll toss it in with some quinoa on another day. The catfish had no comment from my husband so it must've been good. The fried rice that he had was nothing to write home about. I tasted it myself and decided not to carry at home when he didn't want it. But it doesn't mean that they get less of a star because of that fact. The service was great . Our server didn't hover over us. Just gave us enough attention that we didn't feel neglected. She also was able to do Apple Pay at the table, which is the only way that I pay since my card was compromised at another restaurant last year. Thank you so much for making our anniversary special

    My husband and I went to Miss Toya's last Sunday. We did not have a reservation; however, the hostess was kind enough to seat us. It is a Sunday all you can eat brunch at $55 per person and a 20percent gratuity added on to it. It was just ok for me. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits, the charbroiled oysters were too salty. The seafood pasta was tasteless. The crab legs incredibly small. Will I go back. No

    Do any single black men patronize here? Hows happy hr?

    Only one way to find out, and that is to show up. HH specials are good but get there in a timely manner.

    Can you purchase the black restaurant week menu to go? Also does this establishment take reservations for one or it has to be a party of two?

For starters, we got the New England Clam Chowder and an order of Chickpea Fries. New England Clam Chowder - definitely a chowder and not a soup (heavy cream base) with a nice flavor and a healthy amount of clam bits. Chickpea Fries - A nice portion of well prepared fries. Nice crunch on the outside, but moist on the inside. Well seasoned and not oily. Comes with ketchup and an avocado lime ranch, which was ok. It's a huge portion and we took most of it home to enjoy later. Good use of chickpeas. Branzino - This is a whole fish split in half. Pretty easy to remove the bones oneself. The skin was nice and crunchy with the meat inside moist. Well prepared. I'm not a huge fan of dill and I think the seasoning of dill is a bit overdone here. (I'm pretty sure it's dill. Whatever it is, it's too heavy for me and detracts from the meal.). The wild rice side dish is very good. Lobster Roll - Excellent. My partner ordered this and the only comment was that the large was very big and next time they likely would get the small one. Lots of delicious, cold lobster meat. The fries also were excellent. The service overall was very good. Our food was served at an appropriate rate (apps, then main, which seems not to be important at a lot of restaurants these days) and the water service was excellent. Recommend this restaurant. I probably would not get the Branzino again because of the heavy dill seasoning, but there are other items in the menu that look interesting.

You could get smothered with gravy or their bbq sauce. For my sides I ordered the greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greens were seasoned well. I don't know if I would go back, simply because it was really far out for me. If you are in the area I would say am check it out. The staff and service was amazing.

Really solid four stars and a strong recomend fora cozy, relaxed and casual dinner with your partner, freinds, yourself or family. The only note is parking in their lot is nigh impossible some times, so your best bet is to find street parking nearby and drop anyone who can't walk all that far. If you don't drink they seem to have a limited NA beer selection, and I didn't see any mocktails. We really liked our beet salad and our Ceasar salad, which came out os fast, I wonder if they already had them prepped. I really liked my fish and chips as it was a nice portion and wasn't heavy on the frying at all. It was very well done and the tartar sauce was great. My wife got the (I think it was a special) Tuna poke for her main, which she said was really tasty. But, it also looked like a small portion in one of those weird plates that only had a modest divut in the middle for food. Nonetheless, she liked it a lot.

I also really enjoyed the grilled Faroe salmon with the butternut squash purée--it was cooked perfectly. The steak frites with the red wine mushroom reduction glaze was another favorite and definitely worth ordering. For drinks, I tried the Cherry Blossom "Another Trip Around the Sun" (a seasonal cocktail available through April 12th), along with the brown sugar old-fashioned and the lavender French 75. All three were well-made and complemented the meal nicely. Overall, this is a solid spot if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, good food, and quality cocktails.

The mac and cheese, cabbage, and green beans were all of nice quality, the weakest link is the potato salad, however that is a dish that can be complicated for different restaurants to get the hang of, fortunately I can prepare some awesome potato salad myself.

The staff was friendly and approachable. We had fun and enjoyed this more than Milk and Honey and even Carolina Kitchen. DC keeps gentrifying and losing its soul, but there are still some hidden gems around. This spot blends in with the Walmart, and funnily enough I have driven past here a gazillion of times and assumed it was some bakery or another spot and did not know it was a soul food joint, something DC has been minimizing and pushing out to Maryland like the city always does. I think it is masterful that they use clear plastic containers for their food making it easier for the staff as that can be expensive and time consuming with the dish washing/prep, sound economical move. It is nice that the business (U Street etc. location) has been in the DMV for over 20 years and expanded to Baltimore in Fells Point. I think Baltimore will like this spot! This felt authentic and soulful in a way that I had not experienced in the city in quite some time, as the city has had a lot of restaurants be sterile, bland, flavorless, and catered to certain demographics while completely ignoring others. I liked the soundtrack with R&B and was able to hear some TLC on the soundtrack which was very nostalgic and a throwback to DC before the gentrification when it was truly Chocolate City! Overall, it is a spot that you can visit more than once certainly not a one and done like a lot of restaurants that lack service, food, and ambiance/vibe.

At that time, I was upset about what happened with George Floyd a week earlier; still in 2026, it was wrong what happened to Floyd (not to mention more recent news that happened in that city was horrible too). I hung out with a friend on that warm day having a beer outside his apartment in Takoma Park. He is a mega-leftist politically (I'm more independent), but said he wanted to support a black-owned business; I said that's a good idea; I might do that for dinner. He was doing his own thing for dinner, so I was on my own. So, I looked up on Yelp what was in the area, and I saw just across the border in DC, Oohh's & Aahh's. Staff was nice, and I got a fried chicken platter. As this was Covid times, there was no dine-in. So, I schlepped all the way straight up Georgia Ave 6 miles back to my home in Wheaton fairly quickly on that Sunday as I don't like my food getting cold. I think my food stayed pretty hot as it was well-wrapped, and if it had cooled off, I could always microwave at home. The fried chicken, mac n' cheese (my favorite vegetable...I know not really a veggie but a joke), etc. were all solid. If I was ever over here, I'd consider coming back; just so rare I go to DC these days.
