One experience here just goes to show that food influencers on Tik Tok and Instagram taste with their eyes. Everything at this restaurant is fine. Photogenic first, fine second. It’s gussied-up adult junk food. The wedge salad is admittedly tasty and dressed to look sort of like a birthday cake — fun, but also $25. It sort of foreshadows the visual appeal of the sundae (again, photogenic and fine). The onion rings are highly executed too — no onions slithering out of the coating which shows care and attention to detail. But this burger people freak out over? It’s okay. And I care much more about the way a mozzarella stick tastes than the way the cheese looks when you pull it apart. The eggplant parm is crispy but has no real opinion. Chicken with vinegar peppers, again, fine. In order to get in without waiting for hours, you have to stand in line to wait for them to open. And THEN the servers rush you through dessert courses to make room for the next seating? Folks gotta calm down on this spot.

It’s such a hassle to go here and it can take hours between when you put your name down and when a table is ready. Yet I find myself willing to put in all that effort for the mozzarella sticks and brownie sundae.

We were able to sit down right away at the bar and received excellent service. The staff is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. And the food was soooo good. The chop salad, burger, vinegar chicken and brownie sundae all tasted amazing. Everything tied together to make a worth while experience. We will be coming back!

Bernie’s do simple food incredibly well because it’s all made from scratch with quality ingredients. Ribs and chicken parm are best you will have anywhere. The quality of service really sets it apart though, we go there with kids and staff always make you feel at ease, which is rare for a busy restaurant in NYC. It feels homely in the big city. Our favorite place to go whether it’s a date night or family meal

I get the hype around this place now. Bermie’s has a nice casual atmosphere, great service, and generous portions of great comfort food. I ordered the burger, and it was outstanding—a big, perfectly cooked, juicy patty stacked with fresh toppings and served with some nicely done onion rings. And if you’re there on a weekend, don’t skip the tiramisu. It’s to die for and honestly better than what a lot of Italian restaurants serve. The only downside is how popular this place is. They don’t take reservations, and by the time I arrived around 6 p.m., the wait was already about an hour for a seat at the bar. They were turning away larger parties not long after. So definitely get there early, and if you’re coming with a group, maybe have a backup plan. Overall though, a great night and a place I’ll happily return to.
Amazing food, grumpy but helpful staff Loved the homemade chips and the onion dip! Soooo yummy Also the eggplant Parmesan was the best I’ve ever had! The Piccata sauce was also unreal 🤤🤤 The drinks were just ok, and not an impressive number of options

Perfection.
As my girlfriend likes to say, this restaurant is a “pure expression of someone’s vision”. Whoever made this knew what they wanted to do, and they executed on it perfectly.
Every detail is well thought out.
The ambience is perfect for the vibe, perfect colors, perfect lighting, perfect seats, perfect floors, perfect tablecloths, and the best touch of crayons and a sheet of paper to draw on while you wait for your food.
The food is amazing. The best vinegar chicken and burger and chips and dip and desserts I’ve ever had. Every dish is a 10/10 here.
The service is spectacular. Perfect for the vibe. A neighborhood spot with amazing ambience, food, and service.
Bernie’s is an experience you won’t find anywhere else. It’s a perfectly executed vision. It’s that neighborhood spot you dreamed about in reality.
My girlfriend and I can’t stop going here since we moved to NYC. I’m a bit scared giving this review since it’s already so busy, but they deserve it.
