Opened by one-time soda jerk Tommy Fello in 1972, this Cleveland Heights institution attracts most of the area’s vegetarians and vegans, though the award-winning 20-ounce milkshakes draw a crowd with diverse dietary preferences. Tommy’s extensive Middle Eastern-influenced menu begins with a full page of breakfast options, including numerous egg scrambles and the Elvis-worthy Mr. Stress (BLT, house-made peanut butter, mayo and American cheese on white toast). Lunch and dinner menus spotlight a host of substantial salads as well as vegetarian stalwarts such as black bean chili, baba ganoush and spinach pies. Delicious corned beef sandwiches and meat pies keep the carnivorous clientele coming back. No alcohol available. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Named Best Vegetarian Selections in the 2008 Cleveland magazine Silver Spoon Awards, and Best Vegetarian in the 2007 Northern Ohio Live magazine, Cleveland magazine, and Cleveland Scene readers polls.
