Bernie's Southern Bistro

My husband and I go here frequently. We eat (and drink) really well for about $60 total, especially during happy hour. The food is fabulous. If you are sensitive to spicy food, then ask for some of the spicier sauces on the side (they are good, you need them!). All the sides are great and their happy hour has great deals. In the summer, the back is opened up and it's beautiful.

What I enjoy the most is the staff. They are so kind to us, which is the main reason we return again and again. Many customers do so as well. This restaurant has developed a following of sorts. I love it and been there several times. Fantastic food, fantastic people and great atmosphere. B&C…

Really nice atmosphere, mediocre food. Tried Bernie's tonight based on neighborhood locale and good reviews. The cocktails were tasty and potent as others have mentioned. Sadly I found the food to be mostly flavorless and plain. The portions, however, were quite large. The fried pickles were tasty. I had the pork entree and it was not very good. The gravy was overly starchy and the pork had a strange taste to it. My son had the blackened catfish which he said was OK. The side dishes were also plentiful but just OK. I just wasn't "wowed" by any of it. But, you get a lot for the money which is a plus and the atmosphere is really lovely in addition to sitting by the window and people watching. The wait-staff, in particular the busboy, were pretty good and friendly.…
