This was my first visit on a Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, only 3 people were running the restaurant.
I still enjoyed the atmosphere, and our server (young female) was wonderful and she explained everything.

10/10! I absolutely loved the food everything was flavorful, cooked as desired and came out at good timing. Our waiter was also very pleasant. Would definitely come back and recommend this place to others.
Very nice way to spend my birthday!!

Miss Toya's Southern Kitchen offers a mixed dining experience, with some standout dishes but also room for improvement. The restaurant is known for its authentic and delicious Southern cuisine, with the salmon bites, fish and cheese grits, and gumbo receiving positive feedback. The side dishes, including the sweet potatoes, greens, and mac and cheese, are also noted as being tasty. The cornbread, with its honey base, is particularly enjoyed.
However, some dishes have fallen short, with the salmon bites described as tiny, overly salty, and with too much fatty skin. The fried chicken order was also lacking, with the breading coming off and the cornbread being cold.
The pricing of the restaurant has been highlighted as a potential issue, with the special sides adding significantly to the overall cost of a meal. The portions are noted as being large and shareable, which could be a positive or negative depending on the diner's preferences.
The reviews also mention differences between the Laurel location and the flagship restaurant in Silver Spring, with the Laurel location being less impressive in comparison. The service has also been inconsistent, with the bartender having to wait on tables when the restaurant was less busy.
Despite these challenges, the customer service and management's handling of issues are a bright spot, and the restaurant's potential is evident in the reviews. With a focus on improving the consistency of the food and service, Miss Toya's Southern Kitchen may be able to provide a more consistently enjoyable dining experience for its customers.
