Went to TooJay's today on Sand Lake to meet my buddy Peter to discuss a job opportunity. He suggested the location as I don't get to that area very much. Once there, it killed me to find out we were having lunch at TooJay's with a Five Guys right around the corner. I like TooJay's, but I love Five Guys.
Anyway, I get there early and go ahead and get a booth. They had a pretty good crowd as they always do no matter which location you are visiting. This is one good deli. Their sandwiches are plentiful, but I do find them to be a bit pricey.
Peter shows up and we place our orders. He orders a turkey salad plate and I get the open-faced turkey melt. It comes on a slice of rye bread with Russian dressing, turkey meat, bacon and melted Muenster cheese. You also get fries, coleslaw and a pickle. Naturally, I told them to hold the pickle, but also held off on the coleslaw and asked for extra fries. I was shocked at how quickly the lunch came back out after we ordered. They were really moving today, which was good given that Peter only had an hour.
The open-faced turkey melt looked great when it arrived at the table as the cheese was hot and bubbly. However, once I started eating the sandwich, I found the turkey to be rather dry and the cheese hardened quickly. The fries were very hot and tasty. Peter said his salad was great.
Two guys having a salad, a sandwich and two drinks came to $22.47. That's a bit much for lunch if you ask me when you consider what we got at that price. We did have a great waitress that was very attentive to our needs and kept our glasses full.
For my visit to TooJay's today, I have to give them three Stiffy's.
Eat, drink and be merry!

How was the wait at that location? That is an issue we always had in Lake Mary.
It wasn't bad on this day.
