    Blacked Chicken Pasta
    Angela W.

    Tried Miss Toya's Creole House for the second time and overall, it's not bad, it just doesn't quite move me. I'm not overly hyped about Cajun/Creole inspired dishes to begin with, and many of the plates lean heavy on cream based sauces that feel a bit overpowering after a few bites. I ordered the blackened chicken pasta, which wasn't bad at all, but again very rich and cream forward. My partner enjoyed the gumbo and said it was pretty good, just on the heavier side (which is expected with Southern dishes ). That said, the service was awesome and the restaurant was very clean, which I always appreciate. I enjoyed my time, but as someone from the South, I'm not easily influenced by Southern restaurants. It's a place I could visit every blue moon, just not somewhere I'd rush back to anytime soon.

    Had a very mixed experience here. As a first time guest here are the pros & cons Pros: -Food is bomb! Everything I had was good. The southern dishes are where they really shine -Our waiter was very gracious and had to balance 4-5 tables so I give grace since it was out of his control. He was really sweet -Parking is pretty easy, free and straightforward since it's in a shopping plaza. Plenty of spaces nearby -The idea of bottomless brunch is enticing. Great idea! -live music was great but can make it hard to hear/have conversations -Management did a great job of rectifying my friend's food issue Cons: -One of my friends had a worm in their oyster and the crab legs weren't seasoned at all (wouldn't recommend the crab legs at all) -Wait times are LONG. Prepare to wait 30 mins to an hour on Sunday for your food. Reservations are also hard to snag. -20% automatic gratuity no matter the party size -Have very small to go containers so it's basically all you can eat in that 2 hours and you can only take the last plate home -Overall I don't think I would go back to that location. They also have a closer location to me in Baltimore I would maybe try. (I did end up getting sick later but I'm not sure if it was their fault). The food was absolutely delicious. For $55 it's a bit steep but it is bottomless. I got the peach cobbler French toast which was a bit dry but good, scrambled eggs, catfish & grits, and the fried deviled eggs. The catfish and grits were the standout as well as the bread pudding. I wouldn't recommend them completely, only visit after you take everything into account.

    Salmon Bites

    I can't say enough about this place. The food is delicious. This is the second time I've visited and the great service has been consistent. I love, love , love the hot honey salmon bites. Golden fried then sprinkled with a hot honey sauce. A must try for an appetizer. I've also tried the sweet potatoes. So good ! I decided to order the fried catfish dinner. I ordered it with a side of garlic, mashed potatoes and broccolini. The mashed potatoes complemented the fish so well. WOW! Everything was perfect. I look forward to dining here again.

    The wait was pretty long but it was worth it. The food was amazing! I've never had fried deviled eggs and boy oh boy were they good. All of the food was tasty and the drinks were great! This is a perfect brunch spot. Make reservations though to avoid the wait.

    Fried pork chops, candied yams and Mac and cheese
    Elder Lamont S.

    The service was excellent, our waitress was very helpful and on time considering our large party of 14. Food was good although some of our people complained of there fish and oxtails being a little salty. I had the pork chops, Mac and yams. Chops were perfectly cooked (crispy and juicy) yams just the right amount of sweetness and the Mac was perfectly blended together with several cheeses. I would say overall I would come back for sure. But be prepared to wait but I don't mind waiting for good food.

    Brunch crab legs@ Miss Toya's!
    Spencer H.

    I hate doing this BUT this is our platform to make businesses do better. I've dined at the Silver Spring location a few times and the DC location once and both were strong 4 star performers. After seeing the reels for their unlimited brunch, a brotha had to drive from damn near Waldorf to Laurel to check this location out. Only reservation seating for the tables, I was lucky that ONE seat was open at the small ten person bar. I ordered the $55 unlimited brunch and the bottomless Mimosas for an additional $25. Jordan was great. She explained the unlimited food experience, which was unique to say the least. I wondered, does the owner want folks to come back or just want a one and done?!? From the menu, you can only order one item at a time and can't place another order until you've finished the majority of your food. So, if you ordered deviled eggs (3), you'd have to finish those to order wings... Whewwww! So I went through that iteration 6 to seven times. Oysters Rockefeller, crab legs (waste of time.. One small cluster that was mushy), charbroiled oysters, fried deviled eggs and topped it off with my entrée.. Steak and eggs. Honestly, I could have done the oysters and the fried crab topped deviled eggs and called it a day. I ordered my steak medium and it came out well done with NO flavor. I already told you about those sorry azz crab legs. The couple beside me didn't heed my warning before they ordered the crab legs.. they only ate half of theirs.. Told ya! Jordan did make sure my glass stayed full.. That was a plus! Once the bill came, a 20% "service fee" was automatically added. However, the tip line was there with the suggested tips like it wasn't already taken out, making it a bit awkward WTH?!? SO, y'all wanted a total of 40% gratuity?..GTFOH! ... I won't spell that out. Peace!

    Southern Devil Eggs
    Brisje G.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I went with my friends to celebrate my birthday. The service was a little slow, especially with the drinks coming out after the apps, and a couple of dirty glasses were brought to the table, which wasn't ideal. But the food came out hot and full of flavor. The charbroiled oysters were good. Not quite New Orleans level, with a little too much of the wrong cheese, but still enjoyable. The fried deviled eggs with crab were really good, and the fried catfish with mac and greens was the perfect pairing. I'm so glad I went with that combo. The cornbread had good flavor but could have been a little more moist. Overall, I'm glad I gave Miss Toya's a try. The food was definitely worth it. This location is smaller than the one in Silver Spring, but it still has a cozy vibe. I would go back.

    Buffalo wing
    Kyla G.

    Went on a Friday during lunch time. Had the gumbo with cornbread 10/10. Gumbo was nicely done. Cornbread was swimming in a bowl of butter literally tasted like pound cake was amazing. Not too sweet just perfect. Got the peach lemonade I believe and that was so good. No complaints at all were seated immediately. Server was nice. Buffalo wings were sauced up and still crunchy. Music was great honestly just a good vibe.

    Berry Pancakes
    Maya D.

    Laurel residents: are you wondering why this place that was going to be all the rave has less than 100 reviews? Are you debating whether you should come here and give it a chance? Well don't. We walked in on a Saturday morning and it was empty. We said let's just give it a shot even though we knew it was a risk. The hostess seemed irritated at our comments and said it's because restaurants go through "seasons", they just opened, and people are busy with graduations. A Laurel brunch spot empty on a Saturday morning? LOL OKAY... Go off sis. Defend your man! They just need to do better here. The hostess literally handed me a menu that was so visibly dirty that it was unbelievable. 1 plate was so chipped I don't understand why she handed it to me. Another was dirty but... Whatever it happens right? I will say, server was nice. She offered to comp my food since it didn't come out with the others... Or even soon after. I think she forgot my order but it's okay, it happens! Can I encourage you not to order the strawberry crunch pancakes? Because there's no crunch. And the bananas that you think are going to be sliced and put on top are not in fact on top. They are cooked in the strawberry sauce drenched on the French toast. Can I repeat that there's no crunch? It's just a strawberry sauce and like picture someone took the graham cracker dust at the bottom of the bag and dumped in on the SIDE of your French toast.... Did I already mention there's no crunch? Okay. And it wasn't giving brioche. If I were them, I would invest in another brand. They ran out of breakfast (pork) sausage. The bacon was very soft and light, barely any pieces that were crispy. All the food came out room temp. Like the grits were pretty good except they were room temp. The smashed burger is NOT smashed. And it was so so dry, my family kept joking it was made from underground beef (not ground beef... Get it? ...meh). The chicken sandwich was actually pretty okay. I would try it again. And I think they got the fries down! They were so good. The only thing that we enjoyed? My berry pancakes and the home fries. They came out hot (I think only because they were late) and were so soft. They had a good flavor. The berry sauce on top was surprisingly good! Summary: we should've believed that the restaurant was empty for a reason. We were thoroughly disappointed. We wouldn't go back... (Don't tell my family but I would go back for the fries and pancakes.) Miss Toya, where are you hiding? Please come visit your restaurants.

    I saw this place on Tic Toc for their Sunday Brunch. I was visiting my daughter's and leaving on Sunday so I knew I wouldn't be able to give them a try for brunch so I decided to go on Friday evening. I made a reservation to ensure I would get a table. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a pleasant young lady and was seated right away. There weren't too many people dining when we first arrived so the vibe was nice and chill. Our server (I believe he said his name was Tay) came to take our appetizer and drink order shortly after being seated. He was very attentive. I ordered the Fried Pork Chop Entree with Collars Greens and Five Cheese Mac N Cheese (comes with two sides) and a regular lemonade. Our order came out in about 20 mins. The Five Cheese Mac N Cheese was cooked to perfection! **There's an automatic 20% service charge added to the tab, but it's stated on the menu so there's no surprise.

    Creole punch mimosa

    Nnamdi & Jordin provided amazing service. The endless brunch $55 and drinks $25 on weekends. Definitely will be back for sure. Espresso martini to multiple flavor lemon drops. This is THE place if u need a weekend brunch and great drink.

    Southern Catfish Dinner
    Jessica A.

    I've been to a couple Miss Toya's locations but this was my first time at the Laurel location. It was a quieter weekday evening, so our food came out pretty fast. I ordered the fried catfish dinner with Mac n cheese and collards, and also a cornbread to go. I absolutely loved the collards and cornbread, and the Mac n cheese was pretty good too. The catfish had a lot of breading with very little fish inside. It felt like I just kept eating the breading. The fish was also very soft, leading me to think that it was overcooked. Being that the catfish was deeply fried, it probably was. I love Miss Toya's for the food and drinks they offer, but I probably won't order the catfish again and will stick to the other food items.

    Ms. Toya's Mambo flavored wings were sooo good! Perfectly seasoned, saucy, and packed with flavor in every bite. Definitely a must-try if you're craving wings that hit just right. BOGO on uber eats!

I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC!

Service: waitress was kind, but service was extremely slow. 2 beers took about 15 minutes to make it to our table; I ordered a mixed drink and was given the incorrect mixed drink, which I went to the bar and traded out for a beer instead because our server didn't come back to our table to check on us for a significant length of time. We ordered several menu items they were out of and we weren't told that they were out until about an hour and a half into waiting for our food. We ended up with three side salads, 1 app, and 1 meal for a group of people. We asked our server for the check, which she failed to bring after 15 minutes. Hungry and desperate to leave, a member of our group went up to the bar, had the bar tender remove the food we were never given, and paid. Overall: Horrible experience w/ sub-par food and even worse service. Spend your money elsewhere.

Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

This place offers a very relaxed and quiet atmosphere with abundance of seating. The environment is conducive to sitting with the dazzling sun enjoying the moment at the high top or seating low chairs, doing a little reading or work on your computer. The options are up to you but the vibe and setting is everything. While sitting here enjoying my acai bowl and latte, I watched the lady come in with more beautiful black art pieces. Not that I looked specifically to seek out a female owned cafe during National female month; it was my pleasure to have patronized a dope black female owned business. I highly recommend anyone to come and visit this uplifting cafe. It definitely lives up to its name " LOVE LIFE CAFE"/ LOVE LIFE COFFEE.
