Ms. Tootsie's Restaurant Bar And Lounge

Great service, the staff was attentive and the food had a fantastic homemade taste and feel to it. The restaurant was large enough to give everyone space, yet cozy and intimate enough to still have an engaging conversation. I had a piece of frosted pound cake that had threw perfect balance of flavor and moistness. Wish I tried it before I got back to my hotel room, I would have ordered another slice.

On a Saturday (you better get here early), I took my BFF and daughter here for the first time, We waited 2 hours before finally getting our table. I've been here before to eat, so I knew it was worth the wait! They both agreed it was worth the wait, they loved the food, everything we ordered was so damn good. It was also such a coincidence that our waitress name was August, which is my youngest daughter's name Best place to get Soul Food, good music and tasty drinks. I Ms. Tootsie's

Wow.....best dinner in a while. The cornbread muffin with the strawberry honey butter is spectacular. I had the spicy crab cakes for an appetizer and they are hands down some of the best crab cakes I ever had. The main course was shrimp and grits, with black eye peas and cabbage with peppers, it was awesome. Best grits and everything had the right amount of spice. You have to try this place if you are in the area.

We ordered the sampler and the catfish with collard greens and yams. The food was flavorful and the drinks were refreshing! There is a bar and a dining room on the first floor. Ms. Tootsie's has a feel good vibe!

Let me tell you !!! Go there! So sad I can’t remember my waitresses name , it started with a C (cicely if I’m not mistaken). She was soooo sweet! I had the fried shrimp with greens and yams, everything was delicious! And the watermelon iced tea/Kool aid.... BOMB! The DJ?! Rocking!!!!! And you get a tootsie pop with your check, how cute ?! I loved the ambience!!! I’d def return when in Philly!!!! I’m on IG @trendytopictiff
