Very good burgers and fries. I was impressed. They are a bit pricey but good for a change and nice veggie burger option.

The Mean Bean Cafe is a great place to eat, and the service is great. We have enjoyed many meals at The Mean Bean. And, the desserts are all homemade.

I've had lunch there twice in the past couple of months. It is clear that The Mean Bean attracts loyal customers, and the wait staff seem to know individuals' quirks and preferences. On my first visit I had a spinach salad; it was delicious, fresh,...and generous; one of the friends I was with ordered the Reuben--it looked wonderful! The second time I visited I ordered a Vegetarian Reuben, but asked that it be only lightly toasted. However, the sandwich was a serious disappointment. It was on a white bread bun; there was one very small slice of cheese and a smattering of slaw along with mushrooms (good) and onions (raw, and not normally a part of a Reuben.) I had to wind up eating it with my fork as it wouldn't stay together. I was still hungry when it was gone. The place is quite small but attracts a steady clientele, so if you go during bad weather, choose a seat as far from the door as you can get, because the door is opened often. If not for the second visit, I would have rated this 4 stars.More

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. The restaurant is quite small but gives it a quaint feel. The same servers have been working there for years and make you feel like family. My personal favorites are the cheeseburger...and the tomato dill soup with a grilled cheese. The homemade desert is always fabulous, so save some room!More
