Breakfast at Shay's


The interior's been recently painted and the heavy vinyl tablecloths are gone but the breakfast vibe at Shay's is still the best in the world. Be prepared for your order to come out nuclear hot from the kitchen in about five minutes.


A few years ago, Shay's made a brief appearance in the movie American Splendor, an indie film-fest product that told the non-story of Cleveland author Harvey Pekar. It's a tribute to the restaurant's indomitable character that it remained wholly unaffected by its moment of celluloid fame. Shay's is at East 40th and St. Clair. It's open for breakfast and lunch, closes at 2 pm. I tend to favor the He-Man Breakfast.
