    It was so disappointing. We invited friends to join us and 3 of their menu choices were “unavailable “. What we did get was a mediocre patty melt on a plate with an enormous order of chips. Soup was tasty. Really, Molly!!!

    We drove from St. Paul to have dinner and breakfast at Bernie’s! The food was absolutely delicious. We had the white bean toast and shared a patty melt for dinner with tots! For breakfast the next day we had a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. We bought baked goods - the lemon poppyseed muffin, potato chip cookie and halvah cookie were amazing!! What a gem of a place. Yum!!!

    Lovely atmosphere with amazing food! Everything we had was great- including a treat from the bakery. We also really enjoyed browsing in the little market area and taking home a couple of treasures! A wonderful place to eat and just enjoy a good meal!

    Servers were great. Food was great. The cookies we bought to bring home were "ok" but most likely not baked that day.
    Bernie'sResponded on February 23, 2024
    Derek- Thank you for stopping in Sunday. All of our baked goodies are baked fresh daily. So we would love to know what you ordered so we can look into those items to make sure they are being baked properly. We will send you a message, thank you for the honest feedback.
