TOOJAY'S DELI – Restaurant

A Florida deli that began with a single storefront on the island of Palm Beach in 1981 and now runs dining rooms across the state. The counter carries it: hot corned beef and pastrami piled onto grilled rye, the classic Reuben with sauerkraut and homestyle Russian, a beef brisket dip baked into a challah hoagie, scratch-made potato pancakes, the potato knish, and matzo ball soup in a proper chicken broth. Breakfast runs all day, from Nova on a bagel to a three-egg ultimate omelet. Diners talk most about the portions and the unhurried, look-after-you service. Save room for the Killer Cake.
