  • Babushka's Kitchen

    6531 Brecksville Rd., Independence Western Suburbs

  • Bearden's

    19985 Lake Rd., Rocky River Western Suburbs

    440-331-7850

    Since 1948, this casual diner has been a part of West-Side life: so long, most residents can't recall a time when it wasn't dishing up burgers, onion rings, and milkshakes. A recent closure gave management the time to renovate the entire space, resulting in a fresh, vintage-tinged design that neatly fits with the retro menu. Here, thin, diner-style burgers, crisp onion rings, and thick milkshakes rule the roost. Fried clam fans will find some of the best in town.
