“We’ve been looking for some good local bbq that isn’t in Tampa. We found it! We got two dinners, I got the chopped beef, my husband got the hot sausages. The baked beans are so delicious and sweet! On a whim I decided to get potato salad, and I’m so happy I did! It was delicious and not your average potato salad! My husband tried it and regretted not getting a side of it himself! The mains were also delicious and hot. The beef was most and flavorful and my husband said his sausage was great. Service was quick and friendly. We will be back!“

“We had fried chicken, collard, Mac n cheese, potato salad, Lima beans, pinto beans & potato salad. Each item is amazing, so delicious. The cornbread & banana pudding should not be forgotten! Can’t wait to try something new on next visit!“

“Excellent. So fresh, and big portions. My favorites are the Jalapeño Holly Chicken Salad, (& kudos to the Classic Carol), the wheatberry bread (& that they give u an option to toast it) & the loaded baked potato soup. And you could get the Broccoli Side Salad as an appetizer or even a meal - the broccoli florets are fresh, small and cooked just right, with fresh bacon bits, grated carrot & grated cheese and a balanced salad dressing: very fresh, filling, & very yum. Def can’t complain that I get a pickle spear and a very yummy cookie with the Meal Options. The buttercream cookie is scrumdidiliumscious. For a fresh meal that tastes like a great and healthy Mom made it: this is it.“

“Order got messed up. Paul the owner/manager called me within a week. Very nice, and made it right. I appreciate the professionalism and the way the situation was handled. Very impressive. My office orders from this location ALL of the time, we love the food. Good management and having someone who takes the time to care about customers, can be rare, so I really appreciated it.“

“Friendly atmosphere for all ages with fun names to grab your order. The Retro entree with the eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns was gluten friendly (no biscuit). The speciality dishes I saw afterwards also appeared to be gluten free or friendly (the keto or the hash bowls)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Retro entree without biscuit and some select bowls. Vegetarian selections clearly marked.“

I loved that we didn't have to ask for anything she just brought it to us and didn't constantly ask if we needed anything. The food was great my steak was delicious. Very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Also sweet butter croissants? Yeah definitely coming back“

“Food was great! I had the fried chicken sandwich on biscuit. The shop of was great good atmosphere and music. The only thing that was a bit confusing they name orders by favorite location rather than name. It was a busy day and it wasn't clearly explained but I figured it out eventually.“

“Definitely recommend Bernie's, I'm 39 yrs old and been eating Bernie's since I was a young lad spending the weekend at my aunt's in St Pete. Even now me and my wife drive from Bradenton just to get a plate. Being a cook myself I recognize good food and they got it“

“Went here with the family on vacation, great place to relax and get some good grub. Sat down, and our server was great at his job, always there to check in, and when we had an issue or a question he was always there and ready with an answer. Had a great time and will be coming backParking: We had to pay $20 for 2 hours to park and go to Bubba Gump’s.“
