Bernie's Restaurant & Bar - University City

Went here for a friends birthday. Initially when you walk in it’s a cute place and had good music. The trouble came when we ordered drinks. There was 6 of us and I ordered two rounds of drinks. First, the bartender was very inattentive and seemed like she didn’t like her job. Just very slow and it wasn’t a busy night from what I could see so I was very confused by the service. On the second round, one of the glasses had a lipstick stain! I asked to talk to the manager because I was just very annoyed by how long it took me to get the bartenders attention AGAIN. When the manager came I showed him the glass and he just stared at me. DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL. So I asked for my money back. Then the manager brings over a round of shots and says “Here for the complaint one come check these out”Needless to say, we left and won’t be back.

Came here for dinner over President day weekend! Space is modern and very warm. Service was very warm and friendly. Crispy chicken salad bowl and shaken beef bowls were HUGE! Both bowls were fresh and tasty. Please order a side of sweet potatoes waffle fries!!! Best sweet potatoes fries I've had. Nice selection of beers. Beautiful outdoor space. Will definitely come back to visit.

Great menu. I had an amazing apple salad w vinaigrette dressing, amazing brussel sprouts, roasted chicken, and mashed potatoes. And creme brulee for dessert. Great beer selection. Dinner for 3 with one drink each was $100. Definitely worth the price!

help was very nice and the food and drinks were delicious. Nice place to go after a very trying day of driving.

Bernie's seems like it should be cool but I've stopped in twice now for drinks, and they have been out of multiple items each time. The first time was for happy hour, and they were out of multiple beers, a wine my wife ordered, and apparently all of the cocktails featured for happy hour. The service was also not great on this visit. We were more or less ignored, and the bartender seemed annoyed that we were asking about the happy hour cocktail deals.

Great restaurant, food , and staff ! The manager was also very kind and had great customer service. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

We got there a big crowd had just arrived. Having said that we had to flag our waiter down constantly to take drink orders, app orders and main course. The apps came in a normal time and were good. The main course (3 cheeseburgers and 3 cheesesteaks) took about an hour and with us flagging down the waiter 3-4x. 1/2 of the order came out 15 minutes after 1st 1/2.

We went for Sunday brunch. It wasn't crowded cause the food didn't taste good. It was bland and quite a confusing menu with fried fish, omlet bar and pancake bar. The drinks were good. Price was good for amount of food and drink included.

Came here this past weekend for a birthday brunch buffet for my sister. Food was mediocre and much of it could use more love (read: seasoning, especially more savory dishes like the mac and cheese or fried catfish). Nice staff and pretty nice space though. DJ was good and the variety of food options were good as well.

Great drinks and food! This is my new spot to go for happy hours with friends. The Moscow mules were the best I’ve had in the city!

Food was delicious, FJ was on point and the service was good. I’ll definitely be back!

Loved the scene here. Went to lunch and requested outside to enjoy the unseasonal 60 degree November weather.

My fav place for tasty american food. Got there near seven, it wasn't very crowded. It has a nice feel to it. Feels similar to a cafe in Chicago I liked.

Brunch was good. And the bottomless mimosas didn't hurt either. Dont think i ate $35 worth of food. Kind of expensive for breakfast food. But it was good.

Justin did a great job bring out food and keeping drinks coming. Unfortunately, the food was not good. Would not go back.
