For more than 45 years, this legendary Cleveland restaurant has been serving up delicious eats and sweet treats that locals and visitors alike can't get enough of. Choose from more than a dozen flavors here and indulge in one of their thick, creamy milkshakes. Tommy's is located at 1824 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Heights, OH 44118.
This signature fast food joint in Lima has three locations that serve up the city's best burgers, french fries, and frosted malts. You can get a large malt for just $2.80.
