“The best food and salads. I have also had them cater food for an event and have been pleased.“

“Chef Ray puts out an incredible menu every Sunday. The food is amazing! My favorites are the Cowboy Mac and the cabbage side. But anything you order will be delicious. Chef Ray goes to great lengths to source quality ingredients. It is a pleasure to speak with him and whoever is helping him run the booth every Sunday. This is a don't miss spot if you want some REAL food! Updated from previous review on 2024-06-30“

“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“

“very good food not over seasoned“

“This gem in the beautiful Fruitland Heights neighborhood has been a mainstay of the community for decades. We're new to the neighborhood so we finally decided to stop in today for supper? (Really it was a super late lunch) around 4pm. Like other reviews said, it is a Very Friendly place, and James behind the counter made us feel like we were old friends.The ribs, smoked right there on site, were falling off the bone and so delicious! I especially loved the collard greens and black eyed peas. I ordered the oxtail stew, like it was something I get every day, but in fact I thought it over and it was my first time eating that. The stew just looked so good in the case I couldn't resist, and I like trying new things. It was meaty and savory.Total bill including two drinks $40. We definitely have leftovers for a whole nother meal tomorrow. You can order smaller portions, but we wanted to try all the sides so we got the large one.The hang on the porch was a step back in time with all the neighborhood old timers chit chatting.“

“BABY WHEN I TELL YOU THIS PLACE IS THE BEST I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME RIBS ARE TENDER AND MEATY LICK YOUR FINGERS GOOD ......“

“Delicious, FAST, & affordable breakfast! I had 2 fried eggs, toast, a big pile of deliciously seasoned potatoes, and a small scoop of grits, & it was about $6.50 before tip. I look forward to coming back for their salmon croquette, but they had fun out before I arrived today. I eat pescatarian, so I stuck to the eggs and potatoes (and look forward to the salmon croquette), but their meat looked delicious. They have a smoker out front.“

“Incredible food, HUGE portions. Quirky curbside delivery service adds to the charm and the awesome staff is very helpful to first-timers. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We are all only human. Everybody has a bad day from time to time. Bad things happen to good people. TODAY has just been one of those days. I'm going through a lot of personal things at home and it has no affect on my job in anyway. I was just having a bad day probably partially because I was hungry and I was stuck at work and because of the circumstances I didn't have lunch with me. So I ordered from this TJs. Restaurant. Everything about it was perfect the delivery time took an hour but you know what it was well worth the wait if you have the patience because I literally had one of the worst days I've had in a long time today and the first bite I took of that food brought life and my soul back into me. The first bite I took was of the cabbage. I'm talking about God is good all the time. Happy Sunday y'all. I literally cried after eating and got sleepy and wanted to take a nap like a little baby and I remember thanking God for the food and asking for his forgiveness for me being so angry and lashing out like a child earlier that day. Have a blessed prosperous day to all the employees here. A special 5 stars for the cook.“
