Still the best place to get chicken in all Columbia. Been eating here since I got my first tooth, and I'll keep eating here after my last one falls out.

I'm not sure what sparked the craving, but as I passed through Columbia at lunchtime, fried chicken suddenly seemed like the only answer. I asked Yelp for the highest‑rated spot and ended up here.
The place was bustling, with most of the parking lot full, yet the ordering process moved quickly. By the time I returned from the restroom, my number was already being called. I had ordered a three‑piece meal with double cole slaw in place of fries and a sweet tea. Settling in at a table, I dug in.
The cole slaw leaned too far on the sweet side for my taste, though the texture was crisp and fresh. I skipped the dinner roll and the tea, focusing instead on the chicken. It was thoroughly cooked, meaty, and satisfying. Not especially spicy or bold in flavor, but solidly good.
This isn't a fancy establishment. The tables and floor may not be spotless, but the food delivers. Best fried chicken I've ever had? No. Still, it was very good, and worth the stop.

Bernie’s is excellent. Great lunch spot if you’re in downtown Columbia. Their fried chicken is some of the best, has consistent quality, and good portions. Highly recommend
Tried to substitute the coleslaw for Baked beans and they gave me such a hard time. I just said never mind why have sides up there if you can't get other beside the nasty coleslaw. I will not be back. Paying for food you just going to throw away
