I saw that this restaurant had opened up in what used to be Billy Bobz Barbecue (or if you are an…read moreold timer, what used to be Tim's Thai...) I can say that, while it wasn't quite Tim's Thai, it was definitely better than Billy Bobz! (FYI the owner of Tim's retired, which is why it shut down... sad that it went away, but I understand) The inside hasn't really changed much in terms of layout. There is seating in the front area for those that want to sit and eat in-house, and then the kitchen is in back. Orders are done as a counter-service with both a digital menu and a laminated menu at the counter. Sadly the first two choices that I wanted to order were not available, and now that I look at the menu online I don't even see them, so perhaps with the initial couple of months under their belt they are refining their menu and have taken off the things that I actually wanted to try... sad, but it happens. The girl working the counter was nice enough and helped me out figuring out something that was in stock What I did get was the chicken curry, which was supposed to come with black-eyed peas... not to my liking, but they were able to substitute it out with the mac and cheese. There was also a small side of cabbage that came with it, and I thoroughly enjoyed that. The curry was good, not at all spicy and I didn't see anything around that I could have used to kick the heat up, which was sad. The mac and cheese was alright, but I think it may have separated a bit... there was a light grittiness to the texture. Tasted fine though. Not a bad place... I think there are still some growing pains to deal with. While I was there, no one else came in to sit down (this was during lunch). There were a number of folks coming in to pick up orders, mostly delivery drivers and the like.

They offer blueberry picking among other stuff and they make AMAZING food. On Saturday my friend and I visited, there were a few other diners there as well. It is outdoor seating, but its nicely covered snd has fans, do it was comfortable. We ordered the lamb & beef gyro as well as the feta dip and Beef Maasa ( may be spelled wrong). The platings are huge! My gyro could have fed 2 people! It had yummy peppers and onions with Saffron rice and tasty french fries. Im from Greece, and these were better than the Gyros in Tarpon springs. I dont say that lightly. The Beef dish was so very tasty, the garlic sauce really brought out the nuances. Toward the end of the meal, the owner came out to let us know that there was Moroccan mint tea as an apartif. It was delicious. I will be sure to return again!

Like crescent roll dough, the seams didn't always stay together, and mine seemed like it could have used an extra minute in the oven. Other than that, it contributed to a good Ham and Swiss spinwich, rather thick-sliced meat with cheese, tomato, lettuce and plenty of mayo. It came with potato chips (Ruffles?) and I chose the fruit salad (mostly grapes, some pineapple and honeydew.) We started with the Hungarian Mushroom Soup (special of the day), which was excellent, very dark and with a lot of earthy flavor. It came with a piece of the same bread for dipping.

The food is super fresh, made with great ingredients, and is full of flavor. I also really appreciate that are seed-oil free! This particular location is in Midtown located right by UF's campus. With that being said, it can get busy. But I have found that they always do a great job managing this and keep the line moving. The inside is kept very clean--which is always appreciated. The service is also really pleasant as the workers are all super nice, patient, and accommodating. While Bolay may be considered "pricier", I really think the prices are fair. Especially when you consider how much food you get and the quality of the food. I always opt for a Large Bol which includes up to 4 grains, green, or veggies, 2 proteins, 3 toppings, and a sauce of your choosing. I consistently opt for their kale salad, sweet potatoes, garlic broccoli, and steak in my bowls. I like to switch up the bases sometimes and get their noodles or their Forbidden Rice (which I've really enjoyed lately). I've also been enjoying their chicken thighs, but I can attest that all of their proteins are delicious! I really just love how fresh and flavorful everything is. I don't know how they cook their sweet potatoes and broccoli specifically, but whatever they do--it's magical. Overall, I know I can rely on Bolay for a great, satiating, healthy meal through and through! I have never had a bad experience here and always look forward to placing order. I will definitely be back plenty of times throughout this upcoming school year!
