I ordered the sinful salmon grilled cheese sandwich, which comes with sweet potatoes fries and a side of honey mustard sauce. I also ordered an island punch. The island punch was my favorite item. It was so smooth. I wish it was a bigger serving. The honest mustard sauce was delicious and taste very much homemade. The sinful salmon grilled cheese sandwich with the sweet potato fries were okay, not bad at all just didn't wow me. The portion size was large. I wanted to try the sandwich because it was different. I would like to visit again to try the alfredo pasta. It looks so delicious. I loved seeing the young sisters running the place though. Waiter was nice. I will return to support this black owned business. Parking is very tight street parking. Small indoor eating area with high and low top tables. Looks clean read more

Love the vibes Mocktail is tasty ! All women powerhouse ! The crab cakes are phenomenal !! Full of flavor and they held well together Everything came out well Charbroiled oysters - very tiny though and for $18 I was a little disappointed Broccolini and Brussels sprouts Literally wow Everything turned out perfect until o got the bill First they took too long to bring me the bill then when my bill was returned, I see that they signed for me and even included a gratuity (I was a solo diner...they didn't think I would tip?) Yikes, that turned me off ...even the server said she was confused. The system was down is what she said but then it started working again. Weird. She called a lady with a religious cover over to help her do it read more

I haven't been in touch person yet, but, I've ordered their crab cakes a few times with DoorDash and they were delicious. Also, with my last order, I received a cool little candle, so thanks read more

Small, quaint, and nice. I had the French toast sandwich, with eggs, hashbrown, sausage and bacon. Very good despite substitutions due to lack of inventory. Would come again read more

Visited this place twice within the last two months--First time was for lunch which I really enjoyed I had the sinful salmon grilled cheese and crab fries. My boyfriend had the burger, wings and fries which he enjoyed. Service was prompt, food came out quickly and was HOT! Just a beautiful afternoon out to celebrate my honeys birthday. My second time visiting was this past Sunday and I still have the same great things to say about the food. My girls and I like to eat family style so we ordered a bunch of brunch dishes to share--The monkey business French French toast, shrimp and grits with a side of fried fish, home fries, and scrambled eggs with cheese. We took advantage of the BYOB option and was provided with orange juice for our mimosas and an ice bucket. I will say I was a bit disappointed about the service on this day. The location is small inside so upon arrival we were asked to wait outside in the sun with no seating while we waited on one guest which wasn't a huge problem but I would suggest getting at least a bench outside for your guest to wait, y'all know the brunch girlies come out in heels. Moreover, once we were seated we waited at least 30 minutes for something to drink, our server didn't do table maintenance and had a bad memory--Kept forgetting stuff we'd ordered and like I said it's small in here so they weren't that busy... it sucked because we were there celebrating our friend who just achieved her Doctorate degree so my expectations were a little higher because I was spoiled the first time. Hopefully better luck the next time! Just a sidebar note--Parking is the best around here so I do suggest Ubering or catching a Lyft. read more

I was thoroughly happy with my experience here and supporting this local business. I've been meaning to try this place out for some time and finally got the chance to last spring. The restaurant is a BYOB with a decent sized seating area, kitchen in view from most seats, and cutely decorated. The server was an awesome college student with an infectious positive energy. The food options were good and the taste was delicious as well. I had the salmon sandwich and was satisfied. The tip was included in the bill for our meal but well worth it! Looking forward to trying them again. read more

Food was great i enjoyed the fish and french toast. Place is pretty small so you may have to wait awhile and parking isnt great

Pretty Girls Cook has been on my list of places to try out, and finally made it during the weekday on my birthday in May! We walked in and were immediately seated. Our server was nice and attentive. I love the feminine decor of the restaurant! Pretty Girls Cook is BYOB, and thankfully we remembered to bring a bottle (yay)! For my meal, I had their crab fries and asked to add shrimp. So yummy! I still think about it! This is such a cute place (the chairs might be a little uncomfortable for some). I also want to try some other options they have on their menu in the near future! read more

This is a MUST TRY SPOT! Me and my beau were greeted by the owner herself & she was pleasant and very attentive while making sure the establishment was running up to speed. Food: 5/5 I ordered the turkey burger I forgot the name it's called on the menu but it was delicious! From beginning to end and I also got a chance to try my beau's order which was the salmon burger. The sauces and protein were cooked to perfection. I did not try any drinks but I just believe they would be good. Service: 5/5 Owner Dominique was kind, welcoming and very down to earth. Ambiance: The decor ( art work showcased women of all races and black women to be exact which I loved) it's cozy and warm inside it can fit a good amount of people with walking space and has a nice bar area. read more

Just when I thought my experience with PGC couldn't get any better, I found myself even more in love with this place and the owner, Dominique. My husband and I were looking for a caterer bc we were planning a Juneteenth BBQ. Dominique and I discussed my plans and what was needed. She was warm, personable and professional. Upon reviewing her menu options, we made the decision to move forward with the plan. My husband arrived at the establishment for pick-up and said he was greeted and treated nicely by her and her staff. He arrived back at our home with the food and our guests were so ready to dive in. When I say EVERYTHING we ordered was OUTSTANDING, I mean every single item was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about the mac n cheese, string beans, potato salad, short ribs, bbq & thai wings, etc. We are so happy to have worked with PGC and Dominque and would highly recommend anyone considering her for your next event. We can't wait to host something else, just so we can work with her again. read more

The food was delicious! We came for brunch. I had the crab omelette and a pancake. The pancake was divine: it had that perfect little crunch around the edges but still nice and fluffy. The berry lemonade was fresh and delicious. My teen boys also enjoyed their dishes. There was plenty of food because my 15yo couldn't finish his French toast breakfast sandwich. The service was great as well. The woman seating us was kind, patient and accommodating because our party didn't all arrive at the same time. Our server was helpful and attentive. She gave helpful recommendations. Definitely coming again for brunch and would love to try dinner. read more

We were there about six weeks ago and we're so disappointed with the quality of the food. It was tasteless and bland. Service was horrendous. I feel like our server completely forgot about us. And honestly, I did not see one pretty girl who could or could not cook. How full of herself this owner must be! I'm mad that they charged us at all when the food and service were so horrible. If you value your money, stay clear of this place! read more

Went to PGC after following PGC on insta for a few months. Let me tell you... they are worth the hype! The decor was so cute, the staff was attentive, the music was bumpin. The food was AMAZING. I got the Fancier Fowl and it was perfection on a plate. My partner loved the sweet potatoes and our friends could not get enough of the Island Gal burger and mac and cheese. The servings were generous (everyone brought a plate home and the food reheats amazingly). I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu!! read more

Beautiful space. Great energy when walked in the door. Amira (who has my beautiful nieces name too) was attentive and helpful. Our food was perfectly seasoned and creative. I will return.

Today was my first time at Pretty Girls Cook in Philly. I looked at the menu before arriving. I was looking forward to tasting the Crabby Patties, but they were out of stock. I decided on the Drunken Mussels for an appetizer and I chose Ladies Love Salmon and the Turkey Island Gal Burger w/ grilled shrimp and lump crab meat. Let me just say this, it was ALL very delicious and fresh! Everything was very tasty, and I cleaned my plates. The homemade ice tea and lemonade were very good as well The decor was nice, and the music was on point My server Chloe was the BOMB and cute. I decided to order the Make 'Em Shout Brussel Sprouts to go. I ate those when I got home. The seasoning was perfect. I am not a fan of goat cheese, but with this dish, it blended well with the other spices. I would definitely recommend this place. Parking was a bit difficult although I arrived 1/2 hour after they opened. read more

My friend and I disagree on this place. My friend said his food was amazing for the second time and gave the restaurant 5/5. He got crab cakes the first time and enjoyed that too. This time and the first time we've went I've hated the food. My waffle was bad and cold when it came out. The chicken was good... but look at that lil baby chicken finger, lol. They saw it was small and brought me a second piece but for how much it costs still really not worth it. The space is cool. read more

My sister and I took a road trip for a Sister Date. I chose Pretty Girls Cook for brunch. The food was very delicious I had Fish & Grits, added shrimp, and had a side of scrambled eggs. It was delicious and very filling. They give a very large serving. They didn't have alcohol but allowed you to bring your own alcohol for a $5 charge. We brought our bottle and used it as decor. Since we didn't open it we didn't have to pay the $5. The decor was beautiful. I absolutely loved the table setting. It was very feminine and floral. I love that the restaurant was filled with pictures of famous black Women. The restaurant is really nice but the space is limited. They seem to get good service so hopefully they would expand in the future. I would definitely return. As far as service, they were good. The waitress MiMi seemed a little shy. But she was ok. There was a light skinned lady that checked on us frequently, I don't remember her name, but I assumed she was either the manager, or in charge, she seemed so. She was very pleasant. read more

Never been here, but giving five stars because I fell in love with Diamond after watching Gordon Ramsey.

It was early and I was the only person in there so far. Great playlists playing, friendly staff cleaning establishment, and the food was really good. My server Kevin was really good and cool, super helpful.. My food was cooked to order, I order the Island gul sandwich and it came with fries.. Large portions, fresh and hot.. I really enjoyed it. Next time I'm in Philly I will make sure I come back by here again. The playlist really set the vibes/ ambiance, ain't nothing like old school read more

There was four of us. No one was served at the same time. Items came out in bits and pieces . For example, first the eggs, 5 min later the grits , & 5 min after that the meat ! ALL platters were served with items coming out separately and cold ! Grease used to cook the fish was old . Eggs ordered "over easy" came out "over hard". Server was not attentive , smelled like last night's alcohol, and barely dressed! First and last time for me !!! read more

Added this place to my list right before my last trip to Philly and it ended up being the first place we stopped. It's on a mixed commercial but mostly residential block but since it was early in the day, parking was easy. It also wasn't crowded so ordering was easy and customer service was just fine. The decor was an added bonus showcasing some inspiring ladies. I had the Ladies Love Salmon which looked exactly how it was described. Tasted good but a bit too much balsamic for me. My friend had the Saucy Shrimp Scampi which definitely came in handy later that night after hanging out. She also got some homemade juice that she really enjoyed. I see why it's popular and probably even more so for brunch. I'd be willing to give it another visit when I'm in town again. read more

I LOVE supporting black business and supporting Black Girls Cook was no different. We came towards the end of brunch so items like pancakes, waffles, shrimp with sauce and lamb chops were gone. Most the items we wanted. That was a bummer but the food was good. The steak was seasoned like you made it yourself at home. Lol. Fish and grits was good and the crab omelette was amazing. I have to say it and I didn't want to but the prices were a bit steep but I know that's the price of running a independent business like theirs. However, 150 for 2 adults and 2 kids was a bit pricey. I however loved the ambience and the music selection was on point. Probably wouldn't go again but I love the statement they are making with their name and their vibes. Best of luck ladies! read more

All I can say is WOW! Our meals had so much flavor, we wanted to order everything off the menu!! And don't get me started on the sweet potato purée...heaven in a bowl. I will say that the seating area was uncomfortable and the service was a little slow, however, the delicious food made up for it! read more

Shout out to the sistas running this black owned establishment . My folk and I enjoyed our food and our time at PGC. Keep in mind this is a byob spot with a $5 corkage fee p/bottle.

In any case, I'll definitely return. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! The decor is so cute and the restaurant had a great playlist of R&b songs playing, which truly set the mood! Our server was so friendly and was able to give a great suggestion when asked which she preferred between the Salmon Island Gal and the Summer Jawn. She suggested the Salmon Island Gal and it was absolutely the best! The salmon was flavorful as well as the crab, and shrimp! It was a great combination sandwich! The sandwich also came with a side of French fries that were a great size and were cooked and seasoned just right! Then to top it off they had delicious drinks! I had the lemon drop and my husband the peach margarita (which I also tasted lol). The drinks were a great size plus they gave you the left over in a a little jug! The drink was strong yet tasty! The meal, drinks and atmosphere were awesome! 10/10 highly would recommend this place to any and everyone coming to visit Philly!!! read more

Came in around 1230 on a Saturday. It was about half full. I sat at the bar and a server met me immediately. I ordered a half pineapple half lemonade, it was pretty good. I ordered the Aquarius Jawn, shrimp n grits. Lately restaurants have been taking shrimp n grits to another level. They are definitely amongst those restaurants. An extremely flavorful dish! Small place but nice vibes and good music. I will be back to try the crab omelette. Overall 9/10, will recommend. I've read many reviews complaining about the cooks friendliness, and I understand because they are right there in front of u at the bar. But I'm just happy they are good at their primary job, cooking. read more

I have heard several positive reviews about this spot but still never had a true desire to go because it is rare that I'm in this part of town BUT today I proposed it as a dining option to my niece and she picked it... GREAT choice!!! Even though the restaurant is located on a small street, I was able to find parking immediately. We were greeted upon entering and also seated quickly AND a waiter came to our table shortly after (3 thumbs up so far!). We decided on an order of Buffalo Bully (fries, with strips of chicken, blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce) and it was soooo good! Just the right amount of each component... For our entrees, my niece ordered the Scampi and I ordered Sinful Salmon (which is grilled cheese with salmon, pepper jack cheese, spinach and onions) - I never would've imagined having salmon in a grilled cheese sandwich but the way that my sandwich was prepared was such a great blend of ingredients and it was just about cooked to perfection (I would've preferred that the bread not be as buttery); in spite of this, I would definitely order this again when I come back and trust that I WILL be back! We did not order dessert but it was another patron's bday so we were able to get a glimpse of what looked like banana pudding; OMG - it looked like it was delightful! And to top it off, when it is someone's bday, they put a sparkler in the dessert and play the Stevie Wonder version of happy bday :-D The decor in the restaurant is nice also. This space is not large so I would not recommend for large groups unless the entire restaurant is being rented (if they do this)... Definitely a nice place to grab a bite with your girls or have a low key date night. read more

I started lucky enough to get parking directly in front of Pretty Girls Cook. It's nice inside and I was immediately greeted then seated by a Pretty Girl. Beware all of the seating is pub style and I'm 5'3" sitting at the counter, I had to uncomfortably reach up. This is unlike other restaurants counter space. However the counter does have hooks for your purse or coat. Accommodations for special needs are available upon request. The Pretty Girls cooking wore head coverings and gloves when handling the food. That's a great start for my dining experience! Although it took a minute to be greeted by anyone other than the host my server was pleasant. And yes she's a Pretty Girl too. The decor is black, pink and rose gold accents. As for the food what I had was fair didn't seem at all like 'buttermilk pancakes' but they were large a filling. The pancakes are so large they are enough to share. the beef bacon it was cooked crispy not burnt and very meaty. In all it was a pleasant experience just not inspiring enough to drive 30 minutes to get to. If I'm in the area I will stop in for dinner. For now this Pretty Girl is moving on. read more

I ordered take out with 2 others and we all hated our food. Salmon, shrimp, grilled chicken and fried chicken were all over cooked and dry. Mac n cheese was greasy and the taste was underwhelming. The crab dip was stuck together so it wasn't even 'dippable' . Worst experience. Greatly disappointed. I only gave 1 star because I couldn't post without rating... read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant and first time in the Philly area. I want to start by saying the seating was so uncomfortable, however, they did play good music. The food was ok. Nothing special tbh. The turkey gal burger had no flavor and it was so nasty I didn't even finish it. The fries taste like tv dinner fries. Definitely not hand cut or fresh potatoes. The service was ok, she could have checked in more. She only came by our tables to grab orders and than we had to flag her down for the check and some boxes. I probably won't go back here. read more

Definitely a must try place, these ladies can cook. We stopped here for breakfast one Saturday based on other Yelp reviews, we were not disappointed. We sat the counter which gave us the perfect view to see them preparing and cooking the dishes. Everything was very clean. It was a little delay in taking our orders, one of the chefs acknowledged that and made sure someone came over to take our order. We got the shrimp & grits and the chicken & waffles, both were soooo good with ample portions. That was the best chicken breast I ever had! I highly recommend this place. read more

My Gawddddd so many good things to say about this restaurant. If you looking for a nasty, flavorless, unaffordable restaurant DO NOT come here! This place is beyond delicious and exceeded our expectation. This restaurant has a little bit of everything but if you're a pescatarian you will appreciate it even more. I couldn't decide what I wanted because everything on the menu seemed worthy of tasting so we literally ordered 4 things. "Lady's love salmon" (nice portion of salmon seasoned to perfection with side of Spanish rice and balsamic drizzled on top) "the salmon grill cheese" (the Spinach, onions, cheese and salmon is a tasty combo) "lobsta mobsta fries" (full of lobster!!! The sauce is delicious and fries and fried perfect. "Shrimp scampi" (my gawd this sauce is perfect! The shrimps are nice size and the added spinach, garlic and tomato's compliments the entire dish! Overall the waitress was super nice, the cooks were fast and the presentation match the taste! Make your way there now! Thank me later, You will not regret this! I didn't read more
