    Gambrills, MD location: From the moment we stepped into Miss Toya’s ,the experience was amazing! The vibes were great — warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The hostess and staff were incredibly kind, and our waiter, Andre, was top-notch. He was super attentive, offered great recommendations, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Now, let’s talk about the food — WOW. Generous portions, beautifully seasoned dishes, and everything served hot and fresh. The fried deviled eggs topped with crab meat and fried catfish were a must-try — absolutely delicious! The smoked collard greens with turkey had me saying “Oh my God!” and the five cheese mac & cheese was on point next-level comfort food. Don’t skip the fried green tomatoes — perfectly seasoned and crisp. I’ll definitely be back!

    On the plus side, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. I was surprised that the chef came to visit our table twice to deliver the food and later to inquire about how we were enjoying it. Negatives: there was no air conditioning, so the temperature of the space was uncomfortable. And we were fortunate to be in the direct line of the fan. Also, it is a small space on both levels. Lastly, too many dishes contained pork. I realize andouille sausage is a key ingredient in Cajun cooking. But it would great if they offered gumbo and/or jambalaya options without pork.
