    Pictures are better then words.We eat in this place often and the food is aways fresh and…read moredelisious. But i ordered out the same food i usually eat in door and as you can see, the contrast is striking. The pastrami was disgusting. It was all fat dark and two pieces. The cole slaw usually you get a bowl ( see below) takeout you get half of a tiny container. The equivalent of three teaspoons total. The joke is, we complained to the manager.He promised another meal which we took him up on his offer the next day. Unfortunately, look what we got as a second meal to go. The manager didn't even check to see if it was acceptable. At least the sandwich wasn't squished like the first one.but there was still only two pieces and it was dark and there was still only a tiny amount of cole slaw. ( it looks like they saved their crappy meat for takeout). My recommendation, eating in? go here.Takeout, go somewhere else to someone that cares what they send out. Update. Spoke to the manager George. Said he would comp me a meal when I came back. I came back he was not there.. Payed in full. Maybe next time

    Average in every way…read more One thing that is new to me is this way to order your sandwich. Regular, "NY" (the way they used to stack the Reuben) and a third, with more meat (I can't remember the exact classification names.) The service was sub-par, with one woman telling me someone would be with me shortly. Waiting five minutes. Finally, another woman told me to, sit anywhere with a menu. I ordered coffee, a Reuben with fries and a side of cole slaw. I never got my cole slaw.

Nina took care of us and she was super informative, helped us land on some really great entrees. I went with the pastrami burger and my sister ordered a breakfast sandwich. We took leftovers for later and ordered some things to go. They are doing specials right now with various wraps. My sister got the BLT wrap and it was delicious. We also took a chicken noodle soup to go for our mom that really hit the spot. The banana pudding cake was one of the best cakes I've ever tried, cannot wait to go back.

We decided to keep it easy, each of us ordering a bowl of Matzo Ball Soup and Sesame Bagels w Cream Cheese. Additional patrons were seated, and other than beverages served, our server was running back and forth trying to accommodate the additional table (totaling nine). At 7:30-ish, she came back to the table to tell us that they were out of Sesame bagels after we waited 1/2 hour for our meals. We told her just to bring the soups... forget the bagels. Another 5 - 10 minutes passed, and our soups were served. My daughter asked for some crackers to go with the soup. She left the table, and went over to another one. We assumed she would then go get the requested crackers. Poor assumption. She never came back to the table until we were done with the soups. Sidebar note: The soups were obviously microwaved. One matzo ball were hot in the center... the second one cold... and they both were (as best as I can describe it) dried out. She came back over only to bring the check. She had apologized for the bagels, saying they had a lot of "big parties" earlier in the day. I paid, leaving a 15% tip, which I considered generous all things considered, and we left. We ended up getting additional food elsewhere. It's interesting to note that the guy behind the deli counter didn't come over to help. I laughed on our way out when he told us to have a good night.

I was pleasantly surprised that the terrible smell that had smacked me on the face upon opening the entrance door was finally gone. The hostess sat us at a table and took our drink order. I asked if I could get the pastrami with cheese on a croissant as the bread was toasted too hard my last visit. I also opted for onion rings as my side. I was delighted with the look of my plate when it arrived. Pastrami looked and tasted absolutely perfect on the light and fluffy croissant. I even got a side of Russian dressing to add a hint of spice to everything. Toojays has certainly redeemed themselves in my eyes and I look forward to my next visit.

I decided to get matzah ball soup and half a corned beef sandwich on rye. The soup was very good. And it was served first, and was hot in a small bowl. My husband really liked his beef cabbage soup, too. My sandwich, however, was awful. The bread was decent, but the meat tasted so processed -- like baloney. After we pointed it out, the manager told me it had been cut wrong (with the grain). He cut some more corned beef "correctly" and brought it back. It still wasn't very good. Slightly better, but I told my husband it could have been canned ham. The manager said they changed suppliers a few years back. I think they need to change again. My husband's chopped liver was a much better choice. It came with lettuce and tomato. Oh, and of the sides, I liked the red bliss potato salad better than their coleslaw -- which had a lot of mayo in it. Bottom line -- come for breakfast or deli, but skip the corned beef.

    This was my first time at Toojay's in about 15 years. We ended up here because the wait at First…read moreWatch was too long. Toojay's was completely empty on a Friday morning during the holidays, which was a little concerning. We were seated right away and the waitress took our order quickly. I ordered avocado toast with eggs over medium and my dad ordered an egg scramble wrap. The avocado toast was good. It had tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and dressing. It was a little overdone and took away from the simplicity of avocado toast. The eggs were also more like over easy instead of over medium. My dad's wrap was fine but he asked for regular eggs instead of egg whites and they used egg whites. They also forgot to bring the salsa that came with the wrap. I also ordered ice coffee, which was burnt and just not good. It also took about 30 minutes to get our food, which felt long given there was no one there. The restaurant also felt old and dated. I can see why most locations closed. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I'm not rushing to go back.

    I haven't eaten here in years. Many years. And after today's experience, I will not be eating here…read more Ever. Again. I was in the area for some business, and I stopped in to place a takeout order. It was around 12:10 on a day when a tropical storm was expected and there were only two tables occupied. The area where you order was not busy. I ordered a corned beef on rye. Order of well done fries. 2 potato knish. One pound of chicken salad and a pound of Cole slaw and half pound of egg salad. The French fries were tasty but it was a portion for an infant. The corned beef sandwich had a disgusting taste, and small, so I guess it had a redeeming feature - its size. The chicken salad Cole slaw and egg salads were all good. Not great to run back there and get it again. Just good. I gave the nice short mature woman who took my order and bagged it a nice tip because I felt sorry for her. She has to work in a store where many of the patrons are pushy and rude. And act pushy and rude toward her. Our world has gone down a sorry path of rudeness and incivility. I will not be going back. I'll keep going to Flakowitz on Federal Highway off 20th Street. Always a long line to get a table and take out window is always busy. Why? Because they have great food, high but understandable prices for what they offer. Bye bye TooJays.

And right out of the gate, I'll say this place is very kid friendly. Because about ten minutes in, the boys began conducting what can only be described as a gravity experiment with anything within arm's reach. Our waitress handled it like a seasoned professional. Calm, patient, helpful, and completely unfazed as items occasionally achieved flight status. Her attitude alone set the tone for a really pleasant experience. Now the plot twist. The service was excellent. The food was... a little more complicated. My son and I started with the matzoh ball soup. It was good, but not quite in the same league as my wife's homemade version. The matzoh ball itself was dense, which I actually like. The broth, though, could have used a little more salt. Still good. Just not legendary. Meanwhile the boys were devouring pancakes with the focus of two tiny professional athletes. I didn't get a bite, but judging by the speed at which those pancakes disappeared, I'm comfortable saying they must have been very good. Then came my plate. Scrambled eggs with French fries and a bagel. Another small twist. The bagel was very good. The fries were cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. Exactly what you want. The eggs though? They told a different story. A basic breakfast staple that looked like they hit the pan at a little too much heat. Still edible, just not the soft scramble you hope for. My wife ordered the cheese blintzes and reported they were very good. My mom enjoyed her eggs as well, which added another small twist to the table conversation. Sometimes the food is the headliner. Sometimes the experience is. Today the grandsons and the waitress stole the show. Between the kid friendly atmosphere, the fantastic service, and some solid menu items, this visit lands at four stars. If three and a half stars existed, that might be the precise score for the food alone. But our waitress lifted the whole experience. And when you're dining with toddlers conducting airborne physics experiments, that kind of service deserves some extra credit.
