Summer Eats At Bear Lake


Ber’s
By Scott Heiner

One of the newest eateries in town is Ber’s located at the Lakeside Plaza across from the post office.  As I walked up to the window, my first question was  It comes from Amber Clark of Laketown who, when growing up has always gone by “Ber.”
“What does ‘Ber’s’ mean?”


Furthermore, saying the word “ber,” drawing it out as “burrrrrrrr” expresses the natural reaction to drinking ice-cold drinks.  Fittingly, ice-cold drinks are the specialty of Ber’s.  Amber has deep experience in food service, having worked many years at Quick & Tasty, Firehouse Pizza, and most recently Café Sabor.

Drawing on that experience, Amber has come up with a milkshake that is thicker and creamier than most in the area, but at a lower price.  Her formula lasts longer and melts slower.  Ber’s serves a wide variety of milkshakes, but they also have a line of unique mixed sodas.  I was impressed with their diverse selection of creative and interesting milkshakes and mixed drinks.

Their milkshakes included Cheesecake, Chocolate Raspberry, Mint Oreo, Reese’s PB Cup, S’mores, and Soda Float.  I ordered the Raspberry Lime which was an intriguing slant on a regular raspberry shake.

Their mixed sodas are called “Ber Necessities” and include such interesting items as Bear Laker (Coke-Raspberry-Vanilla-Cream), YOLO (Coke-Coconut-Fresh Lime), Ricky Rumble (7-Up-Grape-Fresh Lime), Campfire (Root Beer-Toasted Marshmallow-Cream) and Sucker Punch (Lemonade-Grapefruit-Fresh Lime).  If their menu of mixed sodas is not diverse enough, Ber’s also lets you “Build Your Own,” choosing your ingredients for a custom mix.

Ber’s hasn’t overlooked kids either.  They offer drinks especially targeted to the younger set with names like Pinkalicious, Big Fish, Quack Attack and Bear Lake Monster which include gummy Sour Patch Kids, sharks, ducks and alligators respectively.

Ber’s has certainly come up with every imaginable combination of ice-cold drinks, sure to please anybody’s particular taste.  Berrrrrrrrr!
