Tonya's Cafe & Bake Shop

Lunch at Tonya’s felt like being invited into the kitchen of your best friend’s mama growing up. That is to say, Southern done right! Counter service, yes, but with a side of friendliness and welcome. I opted for old school favorites - fried chicken livers that may have been the best I’ve ever had, potato salad perfection, and sizzling fried okra, finished up with a sweet cornbread muffin that felt almost like dessert. Added bonus- shopping at the bake counter on the way out! Hats off to Tonya and her staff,; we will be back!

Food was delicious and very filling. The food was seasoned to perfection, NO salt or pepper needed. I gave them a 3 because the service could have been better. For example we waited 31 minutes for the cornbread flight while others received theirs in a shorter time frame. After hitting the 55 minutes mark we got our main entrees.

Some of the best friend chicken in the south (owner is from the Mama Dips family), definitely worth the visit just for the chicken. Cooked fresh when you order it. I wasn’t overwhelmed with the fried green tomatoes, not bad but the cornmeal breading wasn’t particularly crisp and not enough sauce (but the portion was great). Service was very friendly.

We had the fried chicken and fried catfish which were both delicious and perfectly crispy. The stars of the show for us were the sides - mac n cheese, collared greens, mashed potatoes with gravy, and squash casserole. Tony was so nice and welcoming! We will definitely be back!

Husband And I wanted some brunch food, but we have different ideas of what that should look like. Well, in doing some searching, and we found this place! We’ve been in the area for a few years, but this was my first time coming for brunch— and OMG it was DELICIOUS! Not only were the pastries (glazed donut and key lime pie donut) delicious, but the food really hit the spot. We had the banana puffing waffle and a bacon plate and pimento cheese + chicken biscuit. That waffle really hit the spot. By the time I got to my actual food, I was too full (but that bacon was so deliciously crisp!). The biscuit was nice and buttery too. The service was exceptional as well. There is a young man who is constantly going back and forth, ensuring that folx are getting what they need; and the staff in genera
