Best Authentic Restaurants in Bowie State University

My sister-friend took me to Ms. Toya's for a belated birthday celebration. We shared the hot honey salmon bites for an appetizer. The portion was just right for two people. For entrees, my friend had shrimp and grits, which she said was delicious. I had the fried catfish which was nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was well-seasoned and the portion size left me plenty to take home for the next day. Our server, Lauren, was pleasant, attentive and efficient. She made sure that I received a birthday treat, which was very kind of her. Ms. Toya's is a gem right in my neighborhood.

If you are looking for exceptional service, an outstanding meal, beautiful dining environment and experience, The Blackwall Barn and Lodge in Gambrills is definitely the place! We were looking for a nice place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The way we were treated from the time we arrived until the time we left was phenomenal. This is quality dining!!!!

Great restaurant. The food was delicious and the ambience was great!!!

Had no idea It was only their second day being open, so It was rsvp only. When we arrived, very little guest were seated but literally all the other tables were dirty from previous guest. So we waited about 15min for them to clear a table. Once seated and our waiter Dialo came to greet us, he was excellent and food came out very quick. Later we learned they had a bunch of callouts and were short staffed. The few staff that were there did their best and we were impressed. Only suggestion it’s too quiet and they need to play some type of music. And stay on top of their bathrooms, for It to have been the second day, the bathroom looked like it’s been round forever. But i would recommend and give them another chance! Food was very good!

As always, excellent service, drinks, and food.
