We love this place. We come every Sunday, so I decided to write a post. We love the breakfast. We joke that the pancakes must have crack in them because they are sooo good. Lakisha is an amazing and attentive server who anticipates your needs before you even ask. The portion sizes are so generous that we always share. Please try this place! You'll thank me. The pic is of just two breakfasts. read more

Fast and friendly service plus where else can I get a Pastrami sandwich in Florida ? Almost like New York but the wait staff don't have the New York attitude.... Which is entertaining.... But the place tries to mimic the new York ambiance --- still the pickles are very good as was the pastrami. read more

The one star is for the value of their food. I got a toojays sandwich that contained corned beef and pastrami. The sandwich was good, but the size didn't align with their price. It was a sandwich I could make at home. The total bill for one sandwich and two Yuengling beers was $35. I add a $7 tip, so $42 for a sandwich and two beers. Doesn't seem like a good deal to me. Jersey Mikes is expensive but cheaper than toojays and Jersey Mikes make a better sandwich. read more

I love TooJay's! I have such fond memories of eating at the downtown St. Petersburg location at Baywalk back when I was in high school. I'm pleasantly surprised to find there is a location not far from I-75 where I could get a pastrami sandwich, matza ball soup and a slice of Banana Dream Cake. Will definitely return. read more

My friend and I ate breakfast at TooJay's yesterday morning. Our server, Martha, was very nice and attentive, and my Eggs Benedict and home fries were delicious. We'll definitely be back, and will ask for Martha by name. read more

I haven't been to this Establishment in quite awhile.. honestly my last experience was not a good one. They were extremely short staffed , the food was mediocre and service was poor. A friend asked me to meet her here today for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast selection was nice.. and the berry French toast was delicious! But what really made it worthwhile was our server, a lovely lady named Martha! She was attentive, engaging , explained the menu.. saw that we got personalized attention to what we wanted to order and made sure it came out ok! What a breath of fresh air from my last experience! I will definitely be back and hopefully have the pleasure of her service again.. sadly we don't see such good service like that as much anymore . It makes such a difference! read more

Still terrible water here. The food is fine, but wondering about health of the tap water. It's time to invest in some sort of water filter as this simple little thing represents you. Yes, it will cost some money, but imagine how much better your food would taste? Or, maybe you just want people to order other drinks....good thinking, right? The other Toojays in Lake Sumter has good tasting water. Why would that be? Oh well, we are done with this location..... read more

I went this past Friday at 11 am. The place was spotless clean,we were greeted immediately and enthusiastically,seated and the waiter appeared instantly. He also was welcoming and engaging. The food arrived quickly and was really good! Based on a fair amount of not such glowing reviews,it seems management listens because this visit was stellar enough that I will gladly make the 45 minute drive to dine there again.( was in the area for an appointment and decided to try it). read more

Good breakfast. Solid menu good service. Recommend by me for a solid breakfast. Enjoyed everything

Food is N ew York style, tasty but same as before after awhile. Desserts good but expensive. Checking in can be slow even if no line in front of you. A little pricey but open 360 days a year with holiday food seasonally read more

This is the third time we have tried to eat here and there is never anyone to seat us in a timely manner. The man in front of us had been standing there for 4-5 minutes waiting. We walked out. For the third and last time. read more

Went here with 2 friends for dinner the other night. I was struggling to decide if I'm 2 or 3 stars here. 3 stars is a place that is good to me and I'd frequent. 2 stars had some real issues and I'm not sure I'll return. I think this is somewhere in between those two. I've never eaten in here, so it was confusing when we went in. There is a counter, with a person that does take out counter service, but there is also a hostess stand. There wasn't any one at the stand, and the counter person didn't really direct us, so took a few minutes to figure out what we needed to do. Once seated, our server came by quickly and got our drink order and brought them out and took our order for the meal. That was pretty much the last we saw of her, without flagging her down. It looked like there were only 2 working the floor, but we had to try to wave her down a few times for more dressing, our check, another drink, etc. 2 of us got Shepherd's Pie and the other got the Strawberry Salad. My friend said the salad was good. I was not a huge fan of the Shepherd's pie. I make shepherd's pie and this was lacking. Mine had less stuff in the bowl, compared to my friend (less meat) and it had not enough mashed potatoes on top but a mountain of melted cheese. Usually there's a nice crust of mashed potatoes and a sprinkling of cheese. I could barely taste the potatoes because the cheese was overpowering. Once we asked for the check, that took a bit. We put our cards out on the table and we waited at least 20 minutes for her to take them so we could leave. One of the other tables got up and paid up front, which we were close to doing ourselves. My Shepherd's Pie and diet soda was ~$22 before tip, which seemed steep given that the food was mediocre. I'm not in a hurry to go back. read more

We were a party of 6 and our server Martha was taking care of at least 6 other tables but, somehow managed to take great care of our party. Not an easy task. The food was good but,the service was great. Thank You Martha..... read more

Very mediocre, service was like they didn't care. Food was not hot and not good. Cannot recommend this place at all.

It's a terrible waste of time to order very clearly and never mind the delay to receive an inaccurate order after requesting. Worst yet, the heat index inside the restaurant was off the chain. Get an A/C unit, or at least turn it on. read more

When I walk into a bakery I want to look at the items in the case. Hostess was TOO helpful suggesting items! Finally decided on their supposedly "2 most popular" cake slices to go. Silly me thought they would cut it fresh! No, it was taken from a case already in plastic containers and immediately put into a bag to checkout. After we return home I realized why! The carrot cake was 3/4 of a slice at best. The banana cream cake is give a 3/10 and the carrot a 2/10. I may be a little biased since my wife is an awesome baker, but for $8/slice + tip, it definitely isn't worth the price!! read more

This was our first time to visit Too Jays. We had Philly roast beef sandwich and a hot ham and cheese sandwich with fries. Each was priced at $14.99. My wife said the ham and cheese was "ok" but my roast beef was terrible in its presentation and really didn't taste all that good. I feel the majority of the items on the menu were over priced for what you get. There are plenty of restaurants in this area and we will not go back. read more

This meal was just ok. It took forever for our meals to come out. My wife immediately noticed that she got toast with her omelette rather than the bagel she had asked for. I noticed that I didn't get my coleslaw with my Club Sandwich. My wife started eating her omelette and commented that it had the wrong cheese and then realized it had no pastrami in it (she ordered a pastrami omelette). She asked the server if it was the pastrami omelette and the server just picked up her plate without even commenting. She came back a short time later to say "she's making another and it'll be quick". No apology. Food was ok, not great. Server was great with our beverage refills. Didn't care how she would start talking to us before even getting to our table, whether she had our attention or not. read more

I've been to Too-Jays about a half dozen times. Service has always been slow and not overly-friendly. Basic diner food. Nothing special.

Food is delicious and great service I highly recommend this restaurant We usually get the burger or patty melt but we tried the pastrami burger last night and it was cooked perfectly and amazing. Bagels are also great read more

We came here today for lunch on the recommendation of a friend. We decided to share the Reuben sandwich which comes with fries and coleslaw, which was delicious and the banana dream cake . It is a huge portion that I never thought we'd finish, but absolutely had to. It was amazing!. It's not a fancy place, just a New York deli style restaurant. And sometimes that's just what hits the spot. The service was friendly and prompt. If you're in the mood for something low key, and delicious, this is your place. read more

The food was plentiful and needed to take home half. Customer service A1 and very attentive

Seated at 5pm. Apps came at 6:30 cold. Dinners came out wrong and cold for everyone. 18 people. Brutal. Good luck getting a drink

Brunch for 4. Biscuits and Gravy-Horrible out of the can, raw Patti melts that tasted freezer burn. Cold fries. Avocado toast very bland. Waitress was very attentive. read more

This is like a novelty restaurant. Food I used to get in NY and hard to find in Citrus county FL where I now live. Prices are high but we hardly eat corned beef, kinishes and dr.Brown sodas. We all enjoyed our variety of food choices. read more

Thank you TooJays for hiring hard working very friendly staff. I was a recipient of amazing service today and the food was on par. Again thank you for such a good experience and an amazing omelette. Also the Jalapeño Garlic Cream Cheese is to die for Thank you read more

Very good comfort food!! Deli food is great! Bakery is very good! Service is excellent!

Returned to toojays with my wife for lunch, we were greeted by Jameika, there Hostess, she was smiling and very pleasant. After waiting patiently for our server, we ordered our drinks, and again waited patiently, normally we order both upon first arrival . We ordered a pastrami sandwich & Turkey sandwich on a sun dried tortilla, they were both very good. Our waitress was not the best, we graded her a 3 of 10, issues, did not ask me for a refill, we asked for a container for leftovers, l wanted a small container for coleslaw, l didn't eat, at that point, l asked for manager, to explain our displeasure. read more

I wonder why I waited 4 years before trying Toojays. Who doesn't like a good sandwich? We arrived at a hectic Brownwood at about 4:00 pm on a Monday. The restaurant was not especially busy. We were seated promptly and the server came to the table immediately. The wine and beer selection was small but decent and welcome. We ordered the Josh cabernet and Dogfish Head IPA. Prices are fair although the wine pour is a little skimpy. The menu is huge. If you can't find what you want, you aren't hungry. After mulling it over, we ordered sandwiches; hot pastrami, Ruben and turkey avocado. My father in law also ordered French onion soup. I spent an extra $1.50 for fries, but the sandwiches come with slaw and a pickle. Both are excellent. The sandwiches are big, but possibly not as big as they look in the pictures.two of us brought home half a sandwich. All were tasty, with the turkey avocado winning the prize for most inventive and delicious. BTW, there are multiple bread choices but the fresh rye is to die for. My only complaint about the venue is a lack of sound deadening materials. It was far from full, but noisy as a result. There are tvs on the wall as well as Muzak . They would not be missed (by me) if someone turned them off. We stopped at the bakery on the way out and I bought my wife a blueberry danish. It was huge and she only ate half at breakfast this morning. Prices are a bit steep, but maybe I just haven't gotten used to this hyper inflation yet. $9 for 6 ounces of wine. $6 for 12 ounces of craft beer in a can. Sandwiches ran $14-16 each. Onion soup was $7.39. We plan to return. There's a lot more on this menu I want to explore. read more

Service was not the best as the server just seemed unhappy. Nothing wrong with my shrimp salad on pumpernickel but wished it was toasted. Potato salad was ok. read more

I ordered the Nova Latkes for lunch, I know it was an appetizer but wasn't expecting it to be so small. The 3 latkes were overcooked and the amount of salmon was really small, barely tasted it. My friends had the matzo ball soup and a Cobb salad which they enjoyed. If I go back I'll try a sandwich. read more

Too-Jays, 2 stars. Here's a place that hired very talented food photographers. After being set on breakfast of egg whites, I called an audible for the deli dogs because they looked so good in the menu picture. What came out were two hard/stale buns, ok fine, I'll skip the carbs. The pastrami was really tasty. The dogs were ok, could have been more grilled. And the fries were soggy. Tuna salad was average. Basic eggs were average. Fruit was ok. Regina was a nice server. Inside is very nice. Decent variety in the menu, keep it basic and you should be ok. read more

The food was genuinely delicious, but the service was incredibly slow. The restaurant seemed really understaffed, which made the wait even longer. Great flavors, just wish the pace matched the quality. read more

First and last time there. I love onion soup but theirs was just so so. Anytime in my long life it's always had a hearty French type bread on top. The bread here was some type of brown or pumpernickel bread that was just awful and the onions weren't cut up very well. I also ordered the chicken fried streak that was a pretty generous piece but their gravy was flavorless and cold and the broccoli was also cold and overcooked. The waitress was very nice but never checked back to see if we liked our meal. read more

What an amazing place! Service was great and the food was amazing! Side salads, coleslaw, broccoli, French fries were our sides for the great comfort food: Sheppard pe, chicken with mushrooms, Ruben sandwich and Grill cheese with tomate and bacon sandwich. read more

We all had a nice lunch here . So why not cut to the chase right now. I gave this restaurant four stars because I would definitely go back. There are many other entrées I want to try. They also have a nice assortment of bagels. read more
