Toney's Grill and Seafood Market

Arriving at Toney's Grill and Seafood Market, you’re greeted by the charming, unpretentious vibe of a local gem nestled along the highway in Vicksburg. The building itself wears its character plainly, a mix of old-school roadside charm with a buzzing, friendly atmosphere inside that tells you this is a place where regulars and newcomers alike gather for honest, satisfying meals. The pace here is easygoing but lively enough to feel communal, with the hum of conversation weaving through the clinking of dishes and warm hellos from the staff.

This is a casual local eatery that carries a distinct sense of familiarity, where seating can feel cozy and the space filled with the hearty spirit of shared Southern comfort. The air carries the tempting aroma of freshly fried catfish and the subtle tang of crawfish spice, inviting you to slow down and savor a meal crafted with care and local tradition. There’s an unmistakable rhythm to dining here — the passing of a blooming onion to share, the unhurried joy of peeling EZ peel shrimp, and the rich, chunky goodness of a seafood gumbo that feels like a warm conversation on a plate.

What makes Toney’s special goes beyond the dishes. It’s in the way the team moves through the room, attentively but never rushed, making space for the easy exchanges and personal touches that come with a well-loved local spot. The menu mirrors the soulful flavors of Mississippi’s Delta, featuring a variety of seafood fresh from the market and fried favorites that bring a playful, satisfying crunch amid the soft Southern sides. Whether you’re indulging in a classic fried catfish plate or sharing a generous crawfish feast, every bite connects you to the region’s food culture without fanfare.

There’s a grounded, human warmth here that resonates — from quick hellos at the counter to the friendly smiles that encourage lingering just a little longer over strawberry cheesecake or the last bits of a perfectly seasoned po’ boy. Toney’s Grill and Seafood Market is a place where meals are not just about what’s on the plate, but the sense of community and comfort woven throughout the experience.
