Tom's - Whately, MA

But Tom’s offers a full array of toppings, including chili, bacon, kraut, and cheese, as well as the quasi-ethnic Mexican dog with spicy jalapeno cheese and a Tom’s Special with tomato sauce and cheese.

Tom's has no indoor seating, but there are nice picnic tables way around the back.
