I used to LOVE Bearden's. My family and I went there at least once per month. Tonight we went to the newly remodeled Bearden's. I give them A++ for decor. However, their food borders on terrible! I can't understand what happened! The onion rings tasted like old, cheap grease. The $7.95 buffalo shrimp salad was in a tiny plastic bowl. The shrimp was dry and over-fried (gone is the juicy fried shrimp dinner I used to love). The side salad for one of our party tasted awful (old and musty). My husband said that I could make a better BLT (and I can't cook!). What was worse is that you no longer have a waitress to even ask if your food was good. Now Bearden's is mostly self-serve. Place your order at the counter, get your own drinks and then they plop your food on the table. The waitress doesn't even ask you if you need anything else. Now, if you want something else, you have to get it yourself. But, guess what, they STILL expect tips! WE WILL ALWAYS MISS THE OLD BEARDEN'S! Sadly, it is gone forever. We won't be going back to the new Bearden's.
