| - I've been eating so many burgers this past month that I am going to start looking like a round burger patty myself if I don't include a salad now and then, but there are just too many places to try! This time around I stopped in at Bearden's for a double cheeseburger and the chili cheese fries.
Firstly, this place has really pulled off their 1950's diner theme without coming across too kitschy. I like the atmosphere and think it's perfect for what they serve up, which is basically just burgers, shakes, and some fried sides like french fries and tater tots. The staff of teenagers also seems appropriate and reminds me of my summer jobs in high school. Speaking on the staff, they were all pleasant, patient, and helpful when I asked questions about the menu.
Now for the food! Make sure you come in on a Wednesday because that is half price burger night even if you get the burger to-go. I started off with a basic double hamburger for $2.98 ($5.96 full price) and added cheddar cheese .55¢, lettuce .15¢, and since condiments are free my double burger came to $3.68. The burger is a pretty nice size so this is definitely a good deal. My small side of chili cheese fries came in at $5.05, but there was nothing small about this; could definitely feed two people unless you like putting yourself in a food coma. The chili is mildly spicy with chunks of meat (hamburger patties?), onions and green peppers. The cheese is your standard melted nacho cheese. So my bill in total was $8.73, very affordable!
This place is definitely a solid 3 stars and I would recommend it over a chain fast food joint (support local!). The food was good, but I did not think it was something mouth watering that I would crave to have again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the burger was not overly greasy, but it did not seem seasoned and I only got one slice of cheese for my two patties. The fries are thin frozen ones which I feel meh about no matter what, but they did the job. All in all I think Bearden's does well for what they are and you can't compare them to places with gourmet burgers or even a fast food chain because you're coming here for a taste of simple old school diner food and memories of yesteryear.
I'd come back for another burger, just maybe mix up the toppings and condiments. I'd also go for the homemade onion rings and a milkshake, yeah... that sounds good.
