Berardi’s Bizzy Bee Drive-in (Photo courtesy Sandusky Library) |
Of course, when Cedar Point forced out all the Mom and Pop concessionaires in 1978, the Berardi family opened their own popular restaurants featuring the famous fries; today, there's the one in Huron on Route 6 (which started out as a Frostop Root Beer Drive-in), and one in Sandusky on Perkins.
But the Berardi family had other restaurants while they were still running their French Fry stand at Cedar Point. One of them was the Bizzy Bee Drive-in (also known as BZB Drive-in) on Perkins Avenue. A history found on the Sandusky Berardi’s restaurant website notes that the drive-in opened in 1962.
Here's the ad that appeared on the same page as the article.
And here’s the former Bizzy Bee Drive-in location today. I’m guessing it's the same building – severely remodeled – but I don’t know for sure.
Best fries! Just had them the other week.

Whenever we went to Cedar Point in the Sixties, we had to have those fries, and a chocolate/vanilla twisty cone.
