Tomaydo Tomahhdo

A coworker strongly recommended that we go out to lunch today.  In addition, he strongly recommended that we go to Tomaydo Tomahhdo.  So off we went.  This was my first trip to this establishment and my culinary curiosity kicked in.

Upon arrival, we were surprised that the place wasn't crawling with people.  However, the counter was teeming with to-go orders.  Looks like most people call ahead.  We placed our orders and about 15 minutes later, our food arrived.  We were a little surprised by how long it took to make three sandwiches.  In reality, they probably made a LOT more than three sandwiches due to all the to-go orders.

So I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, but I had them convert it to a wrap.  I also ordered a side of the tasty-sounding cole slaw.  Coworker #1 ordered a turkey club with house-made potato chips and coworker #2 ordered the Blackened Chicken sandwich.

We were given a number and we took it and sat down in the back to await our grub.  As I was sitting there, a drop of water landed on my arm.  I looked around and didn't see anything.  Then another drop.  I looked up and I saw the ceiling was leaking water on the table, so we moved to a table closer to the windows, which also came with a better view of the women entering an exiting the establishment.  A lot of ladies frequent this place!

Finally, our food arrived.  My Buffalo Chicken wrap didn't have much Buffalo flavor at all.  My first bite had a strong taste of melted cheddar cheese.  It was warm and pleasing.  The wrap was made of spinach, which was a pleasant surprise.  I grabbed a bottle of Tobasco sauce and put some on my wrap to give it the kick I was hoping for and it did the trick.  The taste and quality of my wrap were very good, but not amazing.

Then I tasted my cole slaw.  It had peanuts in it, which was an interesting twist to an old classic.  The slaw was light and airy.  It was not weighed down with a heavy sauce.  It sort of lacked flavor.  The only thing I could taste was the peanut, wihch wasn't noteworthy.

I asked my coworkers how their sammiches tasted and they both said they were delicious.  Both of their sammiches were served on ciabatta bread, which I am generally not a fan of.  They offered me some of their home made potato chips, so I indulged.  They were quite tasty and didn't have a lot of grease on them.
This place was turning out to be a half-way healthy lunch stop, minus the carbs.  But since coworker #1 was running 20 miles Sunday, he was trying to get a bunch of carbs into his system.

Overall, I'd say this place serves high quality food.  I'd really like to try their soups and pizzas in order to get a better idea of what they do.  The BBQ Chicken Pizza sounds awesome!

If there's one reason I'm upset I don't work in Beachwood anymore, it's because I can't hit up Tomaydo Tomahhdo for lunch.  This is a great place to pick up quick food that's really tasty!

The menu has a ton of options so there's something for everyone, but I will say that the salads and pizza are THE BEST!  The left coast chicken salad (oh I was so ticked when they took this off the menu - rest assured, it's back by popular demand (their exact words)) and the spinach florentine pizza are my absolute FAVES!  The chicken pesto is also worth trying out.  

The dining area is small, so I would suggest this place as more of a to-go type of meal.  Hey, if you're not in the mood to cook then let these pros do it for you - you'll be very satisfied (especially if you're accident prone in the kitchen like me!)
