I went there today, the food was overpriced and horrible, the drinks was not worth the money, everything was horrible the steak was not done the way I wanted, I don't recommend anyone to go there. I suggest you take your business elsewhere. As a black person I cannot support this black business

Very lovely place. Amazing, friendly people. Food was great. More people should go here. I'm glad I didn't overlook this place. Got there right as they opened.

Very nice chill environment to enjoy brunch, soul food style. I had the red velvet chicken and waffles and loved it. The chicken is a little salty but that's tradition! Waffles are a very sweet and they balance off the chicken well with the right drink. I would try again!

This is a nice place for brunch with family or friends. Drinks are good, food is delicious. My only complaint is the time it takes for the food to come out; it takes a bit of time. But the service is great, very friendly.

The food was delicious, and freshly cooked and hot on my plate. I was a little hunggry upon my arrival so the cornbread and water was right on time. Pleasant atmosphere, wonderful music and immense service was much appreciated. Thank you Craig. I had the red velvet waffle with chicken topped with snoop dogs Chardonnay. It was as truly a wonderful brunch with Pretty Toni’s cafe., and the price was right. Not sure when I will go back but I surely will go back.

Well i'll be! A hidden gem i just found. I guess it's true that you gotta dig for delicious food places these days because they are few and far between. Had a wonderful lunch here and the young man who waited on us was really sweet. I love that the fish and shrimp were not only yummy, but not greasy and soggy. Delicious! I must also say that the banana pudding was by far some of the best i've ever had. Small little place with big fantastic taste. Picture going down South to visit family and once you get there, big momma sits you down and makes you a plate after a long trip 😀, that's this place. Like being with family and friends. Totally recommend and enjoyed. 😀. Holla!

This was my 1st time dining here. This place is small, but it's so cute, cozy, & quaint! I love the fact that it's a small restaurant. Sometimes, you just want that 'at home' feel, and you will definitely get that here. Everything was awesome! From the atmosphere, to the music, to the food, (that cornbread!!) and to Gary. Gary was very warm and attentive and greeted everyone with a smile. Kudos to Pretty Toni's Cafe!! You have my stamp of approval, and I will definitely be back!

We had such a pleasant experience in this cozy restaurant. I had waffles and catfish with ginger iced tea. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the cornbread it was a unique flavor. Our server was so nice and accommodating. If you’re ever in the neighborhood support this black owned business. They feed you and treat you good ?

Went here for valentine's day was very disappointed my fish smelled fishy when it came to the table. And as I proceeded to eat it, it was like rubber, my yams were cold. And I don't know what to say about the cabbage, which just wasn't right. My boyfriend had the chicken and he said even his macaroni. And cheese and his food was cold. Tony, I'm very disappointed because I had such a wonderful meal here One Mother's Day, what happened?

The place is nice and homely. We got there when it opened and we were seated immediately on a rainy Saturday. As soon as we were seated I felt like I was in my own house. Food took time to come out we were a party of six. Allowed us good time for conversation. Cornbread came out first. Food and service was on point. I don't eat seafood out but tried the Fried whiting that came with grits, home fries, and eggs. All healthy size portions. Lemonades we're off the hook, homemade I think. Didn't have any of the cocktails. I'll try them out next time. The place is nice and clean TVs are all around. Gary our server was very friendly. Overall good experience.
