Somewhat overrated – Visited last night. I had high hopes for this place, and it turned out to be only a little above average in some areas, and disappointing in others. I will say that the fried chicken, the mac and cheese, and the blackeyed peas were quite good. It wasn't the absolute best fried chicken I have ever had, but it was very good. The iced sweet tea while good in it's own right, was maybe a little too sweet. But here's where they lost us. The wife ordered the smothered turkey chops and found the meat to be a lit... read more

Fantastic food, really poor service – Have been meaning to go here for ages. Went on a Thursday night, around 8:30pm, which I guess is a slow night for them. Were maybe 4 other tables occupied in the restaurant. We had to wait a REALLY long time to place our order, get our drinks, get our salad, get our entrees, get our check... it was painful. The staff seemed too relaxed, probably because it was a slow night, and just appeared much more intent on hanging out and talking to each other as opposed to serving. Huge positive - ... read more

Good all around food – I don't know why anyone would give a bad review to such a place, because the wait time is that of Red Lobster and Olive Garden and any other restaurant that you go to. But the only difference is that they give you a lovely lounge to sit in and drink until your table is ready. If you love SOUL FOOD, and you happen to be in Philly, check out MS. TOOTIES. one of the best or possible the best in Philly.

Avoid Sunday nights – Ms. Tootsies has great food and atmosphere provided you come at the right time. My boyfriend, his mother and I arrived at the location last Sunday night. Stood there and waited for service, and waited and waited only to find out the host was standing right next to us in full conversation with some girls at a table, an arms length away. Are you serious!! You have three patrons awaiting service and you ignore them. How simple is that, but to him I guess it didn't really matter it's not money he was losing... read more

Customer Service is the Greatest – Let me first say that when I walked into the door I was greeted by someone. Everyone there was so nice and the food was soo tasty. They were prompt when they brought my food, and when I put that first spoonful of mac and cheese I felt like I was in heaven. And don't get me started on their iced tea. It brought me back to when I was a little girl drinking iced tea in church whenever they had a special service. Overall I had a great experience and recommend this place to all.

Bad experience and bad customer service – My first and my last expereince and Ms Tootsies was a very negative one. Our group arrived at the restaurant at 3:45 pm to have dinner with old friends and coworkers prior to seeing a show scheduled for 6:30 pm. The wait to be seated was an hour and 15 minutes even though we were told it would be forty minutes. Once seated at 5:00 pm we placed our order and then we waited, and waited and waited, finally at 5:30 pm with nothing to eat, we asked the waitress about our order, when she c... read more

Not all its cracked up to be- not in a rush to go back – Here i am, writing my review.. I recently visited Ms. Tootsies on a Saturday evening in May- the 17th to be exact- party of 7... NOT GOOD. After reading several reviews, I was still a little skeptical, and but never the less, went anyway. Needless to say, all the negatives I read in the reviews were ABSOLUTELY ON POINT- the wait- 2 HOURS the menu- ran out of Collards and Whiting, the space- small- seats 40 thats right, the ENTIRE RESTAURANT SEATS 40 PEOPLE. Another neg... read more

Amazing – First let me start by saying that I had a wonderful experience the service was good and fast. I ordered the Fried chicken wings which were the best I had in a very long time, the mac and cheese was excellent and the candied yams were wonderful. Everything had excellent flavor and the Iced should be bottled and sold in stores. I highly recommend this restaurant to whoever loves soul food and to anyone who's never had it but always wanted to try it....
