Great Adult Griled Cheese with beria braised beef. Outdoor seating was pleasant with interesting people watching. Indoors was a little too noisy for us.
We always love celebrating birthdays at this place. The atmosphere and service is always perfect. The food is delicious. Only thing they don't do a birthday dessert. Other then that I couldn't be happier when visiting. Fine dining experience right here in Kennesaw
I went to Bernie’s with a group of friends. I live that they have brunch until three. The food was hot and they had a corn chowder the day I went for soup and it was delicious. The bartender was super attentive and was willing to make changes to dishes for any allergies.
Bernie’s killed it!! Food, service, and ambience were all 5 stars, just a great experience overall. The pierogi were fantastic, and the french dip is superb. The aus jus is super flavorful. We all enjoyed everything we had, and our waitress was very attentive and kind. We’ll be back often!
Wow! What a gem! Every dish is amazing! Competitively priced with top tier food. The service is incredible and the bar tender knows her stuff! I highly, highly recommend this place. The food is well balanced with good variety. The drinks are so so made without being overly sweet.
We decided to stop here on a whim on a Saturday afternoon. I'm so glad we did. It's one of the best lunch spots we've found. The service was excellent and the seating was so comfortable. It's not uncommon for these trendier places to have those awful metal stools with the tiny bars. Lots of draft, beer, mixed drinks, and wine options. We ordered the piergois, chicken soup, French dip sandwich, and hot honey chicken sandwich. Everything was so flavorful and cooked well. The only thing that wasn't outstanding was the coleslaw. It was pretty plain in comparison to the great flavor of the chicken sandwich. Overall, it was one of the best lunches we've had in a long time and I can't wait to go back and try dinner.
Fantastic! Every aspect and detail was perfect 👌 They absolutely nailed every item we ordered!
Came for brunch - we sat outside with a cute view of downtown. Our server was super nice and the food was really good! Was disappointed they didn’t have an espresso machine but the drip coffee was strong and tasty so I can’t complain! The eggs benedict was great and so was my fiancés omelette Update: We came back for dinner and it was great! Lots to choose from. We particularly enjoyed the Pork Tenderloin Medallions, the blackberry red wine sauce was delicious! We also really liked the cocktails, tried the Boston Sour and their seasonal Old Fashioned, “In Fashion”. Server was amazing again and the interior is nice
The menu is seasonal and each dish was prepared with flavor and care. I love that they understand we eat with our eyes and our palette. I enjoyed literally everything from appetizers (brussel sprouts were amazing), to entree, to desserts (yes, I couldn't choose so got both and I don't regret it). These dishes were portioned perfectly: more than a bite, but not so much that you're too full to enjoy a bit of everything. Great job Bernie's, I will definitely be returning!
Love Bernie’s! This restaurant is on our rotation for several things we enjoy there (cocktails, the beet salad, pierogies, the chicken schnitzel, to name a few… things you can’t easily find anywhere else nearby) . Zoe at the bar is fantastic. Love the outdoor seating as well, as sometimes it can be a bit noisy, especially upstairs. Kitchen top notch. A few things to note as regulars, we enjoyed the green beans more so than the broccolini… And where did the onion rings go! They were so good. Also, it’d be SUPER to offer an Impossible patty option on your burgers for those who don’t eat red meat. This could expand your vegetarian options by just swapping out one ingredient.
