6 reviews for Bearden's Restaurant
I brought my mom here because I knew she would love the train that went around the ceiling. For some reason, they think that only children would get all giddy and clap their hands when they see the train working so they usually only run it for kids. Well, my mom showed them.
They serve Dr. Pepper.
They are closed Sundays.
When I was a kid, I was taken to Bearden's a number of times, and despite it being associated with a number of good memories, it's been years since I have been there.
So, today we stopped in for lunch, and really enjoyed it. I remember the decor as being a little more homey and a little less generic family restaurant, but the food was still as good as it used to be.
The menu is generally standard diner/greasy spoon fare, but it's well prepared and tasty. The one thing that stands out, and is a must have is the Peanut Burger. Yes, a burger with peanut butter on it. I grew up with these, and know them to be delicious. Get over yourself and try it, and you'll love it too. Be sure to add bacon to it too.
The prices are fair, and so are the portions. You won't leave with leftovers, but you on;t leave hungry either.
Arguably the best burger in Cleveland, don't come here if you don't want old-style, greasy-spoon dining. But if you don't mind delicious, fatty burgers in wax paper, served by waitresses with mild attitude, then this is where you want to go.
It's a small menu. Everything's pretty much fried. Try the mushrooms, they're good.
Great burgers (especially with grilled onions). Old time family eatery (with a great model train that little kiddies and big adults love to watch.)
Try it at least once.
Bearden's is one of the few vestiges of the family eateries that have been both a part of my father's childhood and my own, as well. I only hope the same will be for my own children when they visit their grandparents in Cleveland. Because Bearden's is a very special place to my family, as I am sure it has been for many other West Siders, as well.
The menu is a reliable greasy spoon variety. Soup of the day, grilled cheese, hamburgers, fries. You cannot go wrong with these old stand-bys, and despite the low carb craze, Bearden's continues to deliver heart attacks on a plate, with ketchup on top. The onion rings are colossal and the milkshakes are just thick enough to turn your lips a light blue. I imagine these aspects have remained the same since the '50s when fathers brought their daughters here after a trip to downtown...as they still do...and, fortunately, they still pay.
Not that a meal here is going to break the bank. The prices are fair, the waitstaff are friendly, and the toy train that rides the rails around the ceiling of the main dining room signals that children have always been welcome here, no matter how old.
Hoping to find a Swensons-esque burger place actually in the 216 area code, I went to Beardens once (one time too many). Gross.
The burger literally disintegrated under the sheer weight of its grease; the shoddy bun didn't help either. The place in general looked like it had last been cleaned prior to my birth.
Not getting food poisoning was a serious concern at the time, although in Bearden's defense I did not actually receive that gift.
It sure was cheap though!
