Bard's Burgers truly is a "mom and pop" classic restaurant. The place itself is tiny. There are booths lined against both sides of the room and just a few tables in the middle. They have a counter up front and swinging doors that lead back to the kitchen. You almost feel like this place has been here forever and they haven't changed a thing. The menu is small but somewhat original, and the food is common but tasty.

T.J. and I both ordered double burgers. I thought the patties would be a lot smaller than they were and wished I only would have gotten a single. You can get all the common dressings on your burger like pickles and onions or you can try something a little different like blue cheese. Other than that, they really are just burgers, but what sets them a part is the freshness in which they are made. It tastes like the kind of burgers you got at home made in a skillet out of hamburger meat that was pattied right in your kitchen. This makes the burgers not completely round which I think gives the burger some character. It also was a little burnt on the outside, but it was not unpleasant at all. Their fresh cut fries were the best ones I have ever had. They had the perfect amount of salt and were cooked just the way I like them, which means they were not soggy! Unfortunately, they were out of milk so we didn't get to try their milkshakes, maybe next time.


Also on the menu were fried twinkies for dessert and also something called a ripper. A ripper is a deep fried hot dog that is fried until it is about to rip open. I don't think it would be something I would like but is an interesting feature for a burger joint.

I'd also like to point out that our bill was only 18 dollars so it's good food for a pretty reasonable price. When you're there, check out the pictures! They have a burger challenge that you'd have to be crazy to try!

Until next dine!

It's really a shame I haven't written about this place sooner. Pasquale's is a favorite in Bellevue, Ky and after my brother introduced me to their tasty foods I have gone back several times. Last night was our first time there in quite some time and I remembered just how yummy it is!
Pasquale's sits right on the avenue in Bellevue, which is accompanied by many other eclectic shops and restaurants. They serve mostly pizza and hoagies but there are some other meals available that include a few pastas. It's an extremely casual place and you order your food at the front counter. Everything is served on paper plates etc. and comes out to you hot and fresh!

Although we have tried different things before, T.J. decided to get the roast beef hoagie and I had the steak hoagie again. I envied T.J.'s roast beef hoagie after he got it however because it tasted so juicy and delicious. If you like mushroom sauce, I have to be honest theirs is the best tasting. It is the perfect consistency with the perfect flavor to go along with it. If you don't like mushroom sauce, it's okay, they also have the best tasting bread. They cook it in the oven with garlic butter and lightly salt it which accompanies the meat and cheese inside of your hoagie wonderfully.Their fries are thick and cooked to my favorite texture-slightly crunchy but not burnt. They also have a famous geotta hoagie which we have tasted before and it was great and of course extremely unique to the Cincinnati area. Although we mostly recommend the hoagies, their pizza is also delicious and makes a great meal if you are ever wanting to take home a quick and easy dinner.
Also they do "Tax Free Tuesdays" so last night only cost us about 14 bucks, WIN!



Overall, we give Pasquale's 2 thumbs up! Delicious flavors and a fun local atmosphere. Check it out!
