Reviews for Pretty Toni's Cafe in Valley Stream, NY
We walked in to this restaurant, we were greeted by Gary who gave a heartfelt welcome. This intimate place offers relaxation,... comfort, and a cool breeze when sitting by the window. I had the Whitting platter. The grits were cooked with that southern knowhow. The whiting was real good and cooked just right. They served potato for home fries and they were crispy to the taste. Thecoconut ice tea was delicious. I'm used to the peach cobbler with a crispy and flaky crust but it was still tasty. I will comeagain because I know the have more delicious food that I need to eat.

Quaint. Lovely small atmosphere, feels family oriented. They have a take out side and a dine in side. Dining area is small but... so beautiful on a Saturday that I recommend you come early. It is black owned, and they offer Black & Brown owned spirits onlyso you are supporting BLACK & BROWN people fully. I recommend the Black Girl Magic Mimosa! It?s DELICIOUS. Also, I did get theSnoop Dog Hard Chardonnay and a D?usse Side Car, I ENCOURAGE you to treat yourself. I ordered the lobster & shrimp grits with aside of their house potatoes ( IT WAS FYEEEE) and I enjoyed everything except for the free cornbread bites (which did not takeaway from the rating, I just don?t like moist cornbread). They are open Wednesday-Sunday during brunch hours of 4-8:30 Wed-Fri,and 12-8:30 on Saturday and 12-6 on Sunday. The only thing I did not enjoy was the service. I think they could use some extrahelp in that department, everyone might not be so accepting to one waiter, HOWEVER, I enjoyed the fella who was there, he waskind and he took charge so I definitely recommend a raise for him. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks and the food, I wrote thisbefore I ate and drank because I knew it would be great! 5 stars for the atmosphere, the location, the drinks, the food, andthe customer service.

Food was good & the drinks also if your looking for a great Black owner Restaurant in the Neighborhood here it is. Their... standards have not changed in the atleat 15 years I have been patronizing them. New York city style and experience with out thehassle of parking & train rides. Love this place Read more
The place is very clean ( which may be because the place was completely empty on a Friday afternoon ). I also love that it?s... black owned and that they support black owned wines and spirits. With that being said, the food is not tasty at all . My shrimphad a very foul smell and a funny after taste. My fingers with a foul smell evening after washing them . The rice was tasty ,butI?m 99% sure it was boxed Goya yellow rice. The menu is very overpriced for what you are getting . Read more

Food was delicious. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Reasonably priced. Friendly service.
As a new resident to the neighborhood, i would walk pass this restuarant everyday. This particular evening my sister I smelt a... delicious aroma that drew us in and we knew it was time to check it out. As we entered we were greeted by a gentleman who wasvery friendly. There were so many great things on the menu it was hard to choose. I did a take out and I must say the food wasamazing. I have found my new favorite spot and will definitely be a regular. Read more
Now I don't usually eat plantains but theirs was good. I tried their collards and yams as well along with their Cajun fries. All... of these sides either met my expectations or exceeded it. Unfortunately they were all out of mac and cheese when I went but I'massuming that's a sign that it tastes good. Read more
