Default My experience is you will not find a TooJays you would

be unhappy with at any of their locations.
They know what works and demand it of their employees and more importantly their location managers.

Good service, good food, reasonable price, clean surroundings = success.

One wonders why so many others have tried and failed in TV!?

We had the pleasure of discovering Toojays early this month. We were visiting the villages and checking out some houses with the realtor. After we were finished looking the first day, we wanted to get something to drink and sit in a nice cool place before heading back to Orlando. We were only going to have a drink, but my wife decided she would like to have a dessert. After much deliberation, she finally settled on The Killer Cake. When the server brought it, it looked good enough, but not anything too special. Vicki started eating it and I thought she was going crazy with hor oohs and aahs. After a few minutes, I couldn't take it any longer, so I had to have a bite myself. That has got to be the absolutely best cake I have ever had. It is not made with flour and it tastes a lot like chocolate fudge. We got two pieces to take back to Orlando with us.

Needless to say, when we went back on the following Thursday, we had to go back to Toojays. This time we had a meal, but we still got two pieces of Killer Cake to take back with us.

We don't even live in TV yet, but we've already got a favorite restaurant - Toojays!

Default I agree

Carol and I eat at Two Jays a few times each month. A few months ago we had to wait 10-15 minutes to be served. This was very unusual.

The manager came and apologized. So did the server. What a great place.

Toojays makes it look simple. Good food + good service = happy customers.

I have never, EVER, eaten there and ordered ANYTHING that wasn't yummy and I have great respect for the hard working and extremely nice servers who never mix it up.

Now I MAY turn some people away. They have the best chicken livers I have ever eaten.

When we were in TV last week we ate at Toojays in LSL. As usual, our meal and service was excellent. This is the kind of place where there are no suprises. Service and food is ALWAYS excellent.
Our server must have overheard us talking about having to leave to go to the airport. The manager came to our table with a bag of cookies for our flight. She smiled and asked us to come back and visit them when we return. You can be assured that we will!

PP .... now, that was a classy gesture on their part. That's how a restaurant gets and keeps a stellar reputation. Hooray for Toojays!!!

The score is 1,486 desserts served so far by Spanish Springs and 1,487 for Lake Sumter Landing.

Please everyone notice the "just kidding" part.

Two years ago we went to Toojays in LSL for dinner. The waitress spilled wine on all four of us. The manager immediately came to the table and insisted paying for our clothes to be dry cleaned.
