Better Burgers by Margaret S. at InsiderPages

I just went to Bearden's for the first time and thought the food was delicious (huge, juicy hamburgers that lived up to its reputation and fame) and the prices were good. The service was okay - the check was given to us halfway through the meal without even asking if we wanted dessert, which gave me the impression they wanted to clear us out fast and make room for next diners. I like long, leisurely meals and not to be rushed.

PROS: Non-smoking atmosphere

CONS:

• Pros: Great like 50-60 years ago
• Cons: no carhops lol

THE BURGERS!!!!

by fbc77 at Citysearch

There is not a place I have ate a burger at in my life that rivals Beardens. I have been eating at Beardens since I was a little kid and still love it. There isn't much more I can say, I haven't eaten really anything else there that I can remember, LOL. The little kids like the train, most adults find it annoying but it reminds me of when I was a little kid, it was the only West Side Restaurant we would go to.

• Pros: Burgers
• Cons: Seating

Enjoy a great burger the old-fashioned way--in wax paper, at a roadhouse.

The Scene
Bearden's has been grilling up double patty burgers for more than 50 years. Back then, this was a city roadhouse, thick with knotty pine paneling, fast food and car hops. A generation grew up watching the owner's Lionel locomotive chug around a track in the dining room. About a decade ago, the makeover replaced the Happy Days decor with anonymous white walls and framed folk art prints, but the roadhouse spirit remains, mostly in the food.

The Food
A double patty burger is the way to go, with grilled onions melting into the soft bun. There's even a peanut butter-and-beef variation Elvis might have favored. Domestic and imported beers supplement the popular milkshake accompaniment, and there's even a salad selection. But go with a side of beer-battered mozzarella sticks, a thick malted and the main event, which still comes wax-paper wrapped.

Being in the Army and a contract civilian worker for over 35 years, I have lived all over the world. Bearden's in Cleveland (there are a number of these in and around Cleveland) absolutely has the most delicious hamburgers of all time.

• Pros: Delicious, juicy, extraordinary
• Cons: none, none, none
