![]() ![]() Owner, president and CEO William Korenbaum described TooJay's as a full-service, Jewish-style deli - though not kosher - offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as catering, delivery and over-the-counter deli sales.ĭespite the state of the economy, Korenbaum said TooJay's is doing very well by offering a large selection - 300-plus menu items - at reasonable prices. TooJay's Original Gourmet Deli is slated for a late February-early March opening in the former Rafferty's restaurant at 3410 SW Archer Road in Butler Plaza while the Flying Biscuit Cafe is working to open in early April in the former Golden Lights near the Fresh Market in the Millhopper area. Better than the Jones I would say, just for the biscuit and grits.Two new small, regional chain restaurants are in the process of renovating Gainesville locations of previously closed restaurants. ![]() I know it doesn’t sound like I’m very impressed, but it’s really hard to go wrong with breakfast. Carbs!įour of five stars for the taste, portion and price. Yet at the same time it was very substantial and buttery. The biscuit did not sprout wings and fly away, but it was dusted with a magical coating of sugar and was so fluffy it belonged in the sky. I’m not even sure you can call them grits. Their grits was indeed creamy and dreamy. A lot of the spinach was clumped together.įlying Biscuit’s signature dishes delivered though. Everything was well cooked, but it looked like it had been haphazardly tossed together, making it hard to eat. I suppose I shouldn’t complain it was a lot of food and I was stuffed after finishing it. Three large farm fresh eggs scrambled with chicken sausage, penne pasta, spinach, mushrooms & cheddar cheese served with creamy dreamy grits. I recall last time my biscuit came on a separate plate. This time the pasta was in a clump and looked quite crowded out by my bowl of grits and the biscuit. The last time I had gone I ordered the Meggxican Wrap and it had seemed huge. My imagination was a bit too overactive because I was a bit disappointed at the portion. Most of the items on the menu were $9-$12. I ordered pasta, sausage, and eggs because it was one of the specials of the day for $9. We waited 15 to 20 minutes for our food and it all came out at once. Most of us ordered breakfast, except our native Gainesvillian, tsk. Flying Biscuit offers water and coffee to those who are waiting. The special booth set up to manage everyone waiting to get in. Sitting outside was acceptable, but as the sun crept into the sky the heat and humidity picked up a bit. A seat inside would have been a longer wait. We waited perhaps 20 to 30 minutes for a seat outside. Otherwise the wait would’ve been an hour or more. All the people out front are waiting in line to get in. I had been to the Flying Biscuit before with my old roommates last semester, so I remembered enough to know to call in an hour early to get in on the wait list. I planned this with my native Gainesvillian friend because he’d also not been to the Flying Biscuit before. I gathered seven of my friends to head out on a field trip to the Flying Biscuit. This Saturday was a deviation from the typical Sunday lunch routine. Address: 4150 NW 16th Blvd., Gainesville, Fl 32605 ![]()
