TooJay’s Gourmet Deli (Boca Raton)

Posted on April 28th, 2009 · American Boca Raton Delicatessen

*****  TooJay’s Gourmet Deli, 3013 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496 (561) 997-9911.

TooJay’s is a “New York Style” deli…which has 27 locations in Florida. If you check its website www.toojays.com in addition to menu/prices you will find a listing of locations.

Just so we are straight…TooJay’s is not a top-notch deli in the same vein as joints like Pastrami Queen, Ben’s Kosher Deli or Pomperdale Deli. Simply put, TooJay’s serves decent enough food at very reasonable prices. Nothing great, but nothing terrible.

Over the past 16 years, I must have eaten in/taken-out from  a TooJay’s something like 25-30 times…let’s just say, that convenience more than anything else was the “reason why”…as there are 3- locations all within 5 minutes of my home.

Let’s sum this one up…NY style deli, loads of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, meat/chicken/fish entrees and desserts…decent food…reasonable prices. When I “think” TooJay’s I think white bread…not rye bread.

TooJay’s is open 7 days a week for breakfast-lunch-dinner.

    Originally from Brooklyn. The only decent delis in Florida are Pastrami Queen in Boca and Pomperdales in Ft Lauderdale. Ben’s in Boca has decent deli but the rest of the food is crap.
    Too Jay’s food is merely passable. Its cheap but the quality is sorely lacking. Good bagels at Sage in Hallandale and Way Beyond Bagels in Boca.

    Funny thing you say more like “white bread” however they don’t even carry it a there stores. The fresh hot rye bread is always a winner.

    • Jay says...

      All TooJay’s rye bread is frozen and re-heated there. NOT FRESH RYE.

    Jeff,
    You are right on the point. The food is ok, the prices ok, but nothing special here. Lots of locations but that’s about it.

  5. deli guy says...

    Have always treated Too Jay’s as a place to get food from because it’s close to my home. If I had to travel i wouldn’t go.
    I think that the two best delis in S. Fl are Zinger’s in Boca Raton and The Pomperdale in Fort Lauderdale.

    Jeff,
    Last night I picked up some chopped liver and rye bread at Too Jay’s in Regency Court, Boca Raton. I got there about 7:30pm and the line to get in and pickup was out the door.
    They got some business at this location.
    The chopped liver and bread was terrific.

    My wife and I eat at Too Jays on Yamato Rd. at least 2x a month. The food is ok. The prices very reasonable. AND they allow my dog to sit and eat with us on the outdoor patio.
