Pretty Girls Cook

Visited this place twice within the last two months--First time was for lunch which I really enjoyed I had the sinful salmon grilled cheese and crab fries. My boyfriend had the burger, wings and fries which he enjoyed. Service was prompt, food came out quickly and was HOT! Just a beautiful afternoon out to celebrate my honeys birthday. My second time visiting was this past Sunday and I still have the same great things to say about the food. My girls and I like to eat family style so we ordered a bunch of brunch dishes to share--The monkey business French French toast, shrimp and grits with a side of fried fish, home fries, and scrambled eggs with cheese. We took advantage of the BYOB option and was provided with orange juice for our mimosas and an ice bucket. I will say I was a bit disappointed about the service on this day. The location is small inside so upon arrival we were asked to wait outside in the sun with no seating while we waited on one guest which wasn't a huge problem but I would suggest getting at least a bench outside for your guest to wait, y'all know the brunch girlies come out in heels. Moreover, once we were seated we waited at least 30 minutes for something to drink, our server didn't do table maintenance and had a bad memory--Kept forgetting stuff we'd ordered and like I said it's small in here so they weren't that busy... it sucked because we were there celebrating our friend who just achieved her Doctorate degree so my expectations were a little higher because I was spoiled the first time. Hopefully better luck the next time!Just a sidebar note--Parking is the best around here so I do suggest Ubering or catching a Lyft.

I was thoroughly happy with my experience here and supporting this local business. I've been meaning to try this place out for some time and finally got the chance to last spring.The restaurant is a BYOB with a decent sized seating area, kitchen in view from most seats, and cutely decorated. The server was an awesome college student with an infectious positive energy. The food options were good and the taste was delicious as well. I had the salmon sandwich and was satisfied.The tip was included in the bill for our meal but well worth it! Looking forward to trying them again.

Pretty Girls Cook has been on my list of places to try out, and finally made it during the weekday on my birthday in May!We walked in and were immediately seated. Our server was nice and attentive. I love the feminine decor of the restaurant!Pretty Girls Cook is BYOB, and thankfully we remembered to bring a bottle (yay)! For my meal, I had their crab fries and asked to add shrimp. So yummy! I still think about it!This is such a cute place (the chairs might be a little uncomfortable for some). I also want to try some other options they have on their menu in the near future!

This is a MUST TRY SPOT! Me and my beau were greeted by the owner herself & she was pleasant and very attentive while making sure the establishment was running up to speed.Food: 5/5 I ordered the turkey burger I forgot the name it's called on the menu but it was delicious! From beginning to end and I also got a chance to try my beau's order which was the salmon burger. The sauces and protein were cooked to perfection. I did not try any drinks but I just believe they would be good. Service: 5/5 Owner Dominique was kind, welcoming and very down to earth. Ambiance: The decor ( art work showcased women of all races and black women to be exact which I loved) it's cozy and warm inside it can fit a good amount of people with walking space and has a nice bar area.

Just when I thought my experience with PGC couldn't get any better, I found myself even more in love with this place and the owner, Dominique. My husband and I were looking for a caterer bc we were planning a Juneteenth BBQ. Dominique and I discussed my plans and what was needed. She was warm, personable and professional. Upon reviewing her menu options, we made the decision to move forward with the plan. My husband arrived at the establishment for pick-up and said he was greeted and treated nicely by her and her staff. He arrived back at our home with the food and our guests were so ready to dive in. When I say EVERYTHING we ordered was OUTSTANDING, I mean every single item was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about the mac n cheese, string beans, potato salad, short ribs, bbq & thai wings, etc. We are so happy to have worked with PGC and Dominque and would highly recommend anyone considering her for your next event. We can't wait to host something else, just so we can work with her again.

This is a black owned restaurant I was finally able to try out. I went for brunch and brought a bottle of champagne since it is BYOB. For food I got like a blackened salmon with grits that was very good and it was a good portion size. The staff was very friendly and welcoming a

A highly anticipated experience that didn't happen. They are first come first serve so beware. We went and were told a 10-15 minute wait. 30 minutes later we go back inside and the host tells us she was about to call us as we can still wait outside. We ended up going downtown to eat and the host called us a hour later. We went around noon time and there was not anyone waiting before us so we can only assume that the wait time was based on the food being prepared. Many places post covid so reservations for this exact reason in our opinion. However clearly they are successful in their current practice but with the amount of other black owned restaurants in the area we will try those for now on.

My friend and I disagree on this place. My friend said his food was amazing for the second time and gave the restaurant 5/5. He got crab cakes the first time and enjoyed that too.This time and the first time we've went I've hated the food. My waffle was bad and cold when it came out. The chicken was good... but look at that lil baby chicken finger, lol. They saw it was small and brought me a second piece but for how much it costs still really not worth it.The space is cool.

Went to PGC after following PGC on insta for a few months. Let me tell you... they are worth the hype! The decor was so cute, the staff was attentive, the music was bumpin. The food was AMAZING. I got the Fancier Fowl and it was perfection on a plate. My partner loved the sweet potatoes and our friends could not get enough of the Island Gal burger and mac and cheese. The servings were generous (everyone brought a plate home and the food reheats amazingly). I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu!!

Added this place to my list right before my last trip to Philly and it ended up being the first place we stopped. It's on a mixed commercial but mostly residential block but since it was early in the day, parking was easy. It also wasn't crowded so ordering was easy and customer service was just fine. The decor was an added bonus showcasing some inspiring ladies.I had the Ladies Love Salmon which looked exactly how it was described. Tasted good but a bit too much balsamic for me. My friend had the Saucy Shrimp Scampi which definitely came in handy later that night after hanging out. She also got some homemade juice that she really enjoyed.I see why it's popular and probably even more so for brunch. I'd be willing to give it another visit when I'm in town again.
