Toojay's--restaurant review

Tweet

Except for our server Tiffany there really isn't much I can say about Toojay's. Okay it wasn't their fault that at least 30% of the parking spots were taken up by people parking over the lines and not taking 2-3 seconds to straighten their cars out. We were greeted and seated promptly and the place was consistently busy even though it was after 'lunchtime'. Tiffany took our drink order with both Allen and I having diet Pepsi (fountain soda $2.89 while the canned sodas are ($1.99). Allen ordered the deli dogs with pastrami & Cole Slaw ($8.99) which comes with fries and I had the Latke Slider which said $9.79 on the menu, ($9.99 on the receipt). Allen felt the pastrami was overcooked, the slaw dry and the fries ordinary. I really have nothing good to say about this dish! The Latke was far from 'crunchy' as said on the menu while the 'fresh' grilled sirloin was like a hockey puck, not too much cheese and too much mustard as if to give it some taste. The fried pickle was edible. There had to be something wrong in the kitchen as 4 parties that came in after us were served before us and I saw Tiffany come in and out of the kitchen a few times, refilled our sodas without us having to ask, so obviously it wasn't her fault. The well done pastrami and and the 'hockey pucks' gave me sort of an idea the cook forgot the order and either overcooked it or your guess is as good as mine! Allen had a piece of Coconut cake ($6.69) and felt it was run of the mill so the check with tax and tip came to $37.98 with a $4.50 discount. I have eaten at Toojay's out west when I lived in Plantation so I was looking forward to this new one but I am sticking to Pomperdale's on Commercial and the New York Marina on 17th Street!
