Review: Went here with a vegetarian and a non vegetarian. I thought the food was pretty good, if a bit bland. You can get vegan pesto and they also had soy cheese for there pizzas. I had a tofu sandwich with vegan pesto and onion soup. Also had a peanut butter and chocolate cupcake which was great. As an added bonus, they have New Belgium brewing company beer! I enjoyed a bottle of mothership wit.
Both times we went, there was a wait of 20-35 minutes. Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Pros: Ample vegan options * Good waitstaff * reasonable prices
Cons: Food a bit bland * may be a long wait time * |

Review: The sandwich I had was good. Wasn't too crazy about the soup. The 2 guys at the register were very friendly and accommodating to our veganism, though some of the other workers didn't seem so nice. But it doesn't really matter, since they weren't the ones you have to interact with!
I wish I'd tried the pizza, but if you look at a large, plain cheese, the plain cheese is $4 cheaper than the soy cheese. Jeez. I know vegan cheese is more expensive, but come on... They were also out of the vegan cookies when we were there :(
I'd probably visit there again. The vegan pesto on my sandwich was delicious and would likely be so on a pizza as well.
Pros: Friendly staff (mostly) * Fresh and pretty good *
Cons: Soy cheese=expensive * They were out of the vegan cookies * |

Review: Located in downtown Knoxville on Market Square, The Tomato Head serves a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and daily specials -- all inventively designed with excellent ingredients. Many are Vegan or Vegetarian, but there is something for almost every taste.
The restaurant has become a fixture on Market Square; as a result, it is very popular and is often crowded, but it is a friendly crowd.
Pros: Excellent food * Excellent ingredients * Friendly staff
Cons: Often crowded * * |

Review: Located in Market Square this place is a favorite of mine for lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons. (Weekday traffic makes it a little bothersome). I most often have the Vegan Sandwich with blue corn chips and a side of kalamata olives. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I shop at the Three Rivers Co-Op and they sell the Tomato Head Vegan Pesto & Hummus that they make there. Do not deny your self. Specials, Sandwiches, Starters, Soups, pizza Calzones...YUM!! They will work with you and if you are vegan, like me, they will help you make a good decision.
Sit outside, sit inside....Just sit down and eat! (Then get a Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie to go) YUM!!!
Pros: Beautiful Location * VERY Vegan Friendly * Great Tasting Food
Cons: Weekday traffic/Parking * * |

Review: Best veggie food I found in town. The location is downtown, not a far walk from UT. It is in a square where there was a play going on while we ate.
I had the Vegan sandwich and it was VeganYummy. The pizza also looks great. I also had a vegan soup that was great.
Pros: Food * Location * Vegan
Cons: * * |
