Just moved to the area. Was thrilled to see Sloppy Joe's on their menu. Been there a few times and haven't gotten beyond them. Great friendly service.. Fun eclectic ambience! read more

This place is not managed properly and the women who work there seem entitled and make you feel they are doing you a favor. This is the second time I've been there and I walked out after waiting fifteen minutes before any service. The Coffee Shop across the street is still the best! read more

The worst. 90% of the time they get it wrong. Can't even make bread into toast. How difficult is that?! Stay away if you care about being aggravated by people that don't listen and don't care. Maybe time to retire read more

We stopped by here for lunch under a locals recommendation and it was a very solid experience. We got the nachos and a chicken sandwich. read more

Great place and service - Consistently good food, regardless of what you order. Definitely recommend, they know what they're doing!

The Bernard's cafe is constantly excellent! Varied menu, great specials, and reasonable prices! My go-to place a couple of times a week!

I had a delicious, balsamic grilled chicken breast sandwich here. The chicken was very fresh and flavorful, and they served it with housemaid potato chips. Friends ordered a chicken pot, pie, and turkey, salad, and a burger. It is an unassuming place, but has great prices and very tasty food. What I really liked was the range of offerings. They had veggie items, lots of salads and grilled chicken, as well as classic fair. The waitress was OK but not the best. When I'm in the area, I will come back. Parking is free but mainly parallel parking. read more

In restaurant and watched delivery drivers on their 3rd pickup while I sat for over an hour and had not been served. They prioritize DoorDash before in restaurant service. I was a regular customer that won't be coming back. read more

Great food, great for take out and dine in. Gourmet bacon burger is a must try, French onion soup always on point.

I love this place. It's not local, but I have family in the area. When I'm visiting my family I always try and talk them into eating here. Their fish and chips are amazing - fresh not frozen.. but they often run out so call and go early!!! Their salads are great, their sandwiches are amazing and their dinner specials outstanding. This place is so good - it's a bit loud, since everyone and their kids goes there, the staff is amazing, and the food is worth a trip ! This is not a first date place - it's casual - but it is a go to have a great meal with friends! read more

I like this place alot however the decor is a little outdated. The ambiance is that of a busy cafe. Many folks in and out. It is a winner every time and I will continue to go back. The servers are ok nothing fancy and service was basic. Food was good and cooked to my liking. read more

This place is quite the gem. First time here and I would come again. They had a decent selection on their menu with solid choices. They have outdoor seating as well. The staff was nice and service was quick. I had the cheesesteak and it was excellent. Soooo cheesy. Just look at the pictures!!!! My gosh. My wife had an asparagus, prosciutto and fontina cheese omelet and said it was delicious. I would keep trying something different on the menu each time I go. Definitely a great recommendation if anyone is ever in the area. read more

The salad was good, but it came with rubber chicken. The menu stated grilled chicken,' but there was no indication of grilling. It was microwaved. Just order a salad. Do not add chicken. Oh, do not order a salad with bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots for hard as a rock. I understand this is a good choice for breakfast. read more

I've tried this cafe a few times now, but the service really brings the experience down. I've had the same waitress with glasses more than once and she's consistently rude, snappy, and just not friendly at all. She comes across like she hates her job, which makes the whole visit uncomfortable. I keep hoping to get someone else, but it's happened enough times now that I don't even want to go back. Really disappointing because the food itself is pretty good read more

Stopped in for a bite on my way to Chester. 1st time here. Lovely place easy going staff . Ordered eggs potatoes and sausage links. My dining companion ordered Irish eggs Benedict however; our waitress returned and informed us there was no more corned beef hash so wifey went with the regular standard eggs Benedict. Food was very good potatoes were the cubed the briefly flash fried. All was excellent. Our server Dana, was exceptional. She returned several times to check on us bd was generally very cordial. Will definitely return. Also priced reasonably. Only bummer was street parking as far as I know. read more

Portions are huge! Always yummy as well! I like to sit outside with the dogs I watch sometimes for a fun outing , and to let them have some safe exposure to the world at large read more

During this COVID pandemic the cafe is only open for take out, delivery and limited patio (ally) seating. They have a ton of menu options including chicken, sandwiches, subs and wraps. `There is ample free street parking in the area. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the ribs, which came with coleslaw and fries. The food came out very fast, but they were slow at the time. The ribs were ok for coming from a cafe, but don't expect the same quality that you get at a barbecue joint. The coleslaw is good and it is different than the usual coleslaw. the other people in my group got the fried chicken dinner. It looked delicious and they all said that it was delicious. And by the look of their empty plates, I believed them. They only have bottled drinks. Fountain drinks are not available. This is a great little joint to get a bite to eat and seems to be a local favorite. I definitely will be back. read more

I've been coming here for years. I enjoy its simplicity and consistency. Solid food and good service. You know exactly what you are getting when you come here. read more

Went their with our grandkids for brunch. Not a fancy place but busy! Nice option in a small town. They quickly organized a table for the five of us. The service was average but the food was good. The kids menus were useful and the portions were decent. Would stop by again. read more

Ugh. Disaster. We came here for brunch around 10AM. Sat for 20 minutes before someone came and took our drink order. 10:30, no drinks. We got up to tell the server, who brought half of our drinks. Got up a second time to ask for water. Food came and the disaster continued. My son with a gluten allergy who informed the server ordered an omelette with no toast, only to find wheat toast plopped on top. Waitress claimed the other server did it. Our omelettes were overcooked. My wife had to get up because nobody gave her a fork. What a mess! Our business stopped ordering from here when an 11AM lunch order took until 2PM to arrive. Maybe my family should have learned from this. Their site says "In fact, we're so confident that you'll enjoy your dining with us that we provide a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If it's not right, we'll make it right. Guaranteed." Clearly after multiple complaints to the staff today, they don't actually care. read more

Great food and value on Monday evenings. I'm tired and I didn't want to stray too far from my hotel. Salad was fresh and delicious. Spaghetti with meat sauce was delightful. Fresh herbs, garlic, a little cheese and savory meat. Spaghetti was al dente, nailed it! read more

Love their family meals. Our favorites are the meatballs and penne vodka. Their Caesar dressing is exceptionally flavorful. Highly recommend. read more

Ssssssh. This place has some great subs. Yes, I said subs! I got the #4 Classic Italian which is prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, oil/vinegar and spices (I added onions and tomato's). The rolls are what you want on a sub. Soft inside and a nice crunch on the outside. I like the #3, The Italian as well and the rest of the subs are standard. The owner who was there and working at the time I ordered has been in the Hospitality business since opening the Chatham Sandwich Shop in 1979. It's no secret why the subs are awesome here! I recommend you order on line if you are getting multiple subs just to cut down on your wait time! Manga! read more

Food was ok at best, prices were terrible. triple stack of chocolate chip pancakes, charged me for each chocolate chip. Side of bacon almost $5. Apple juice for almost $4. read more

First the staff is super helpful and attentive. Great food all the time-made fresh generous portions & reasonable prices.

Really liked this place. Unfortunately, my server wasn't that friendly at all. It was a busy Sunday and the kitchen got slammed. But she forgot to put my kids grilled cheese it and hardly apologized. We were mostly finished by the time it came. Still paid full price. Their food is very good and I will be back. Hopefully better service! Also, they balsamic dressing is BOMB! But later on it effected me because I think it had sugar in it and I'm on a keto diet. But darn was it great! Yum! read more

I have been to this cafe twice, once with my friends and then with my family. Both of the time we have been greeted with smile and given option for where we would like to sit. Today our server was Claudia and she was really nice. The food was great. I wish they start offering more gluten free. My kids loved the French toast and mixed berry pancake. read more

It's a really cute place good, reasonable priced food. I got a hot chocolate and waffle and both were good, and my server was sweet

My friend and i came for lunch because their online menu had a good selection and a variety. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive, we came a second time and their service was great too! The food is also delicious and we didn't need to wait super long (I ordered a shrimp fajita bowl today and it was so yummy ). I would definitely recommend going, by urself, with a friend, or go w your family! read more

other good is great but the mac and cheese is terrible it's pretty much just noodles with the smallest amount of cheese

I placed a pick up order through UberEats. Upon arriving at the restaurant I told the young lady serving that I had a pick up and she pointed me in the direction of the shelf of pick up orders. I proceed to check my name on the receipt, the man behind the counter asks if I have a pick up to which I say yes. He comes flying out from behind the counter saying he has to check it. I asked check it for what? He asks if it's Uber to which I say yes as he's trying to grab the bag from me. Then says "I have to check it read the sign it's right on front of your eyes." Rude and unnecessary. I'm sure if my name wasn't "LaToya" no checking would've been necessary. If you don't want customers to pick up their own orders leave it behind the counter. First and last time ordering from them. I will inform my coworkers at the hospital not to use them as well!! read more

The food was tasty. The server made a few mistakes but was so nice and thoughtful that I had to overlook them. A great attitude and smile goes a long way, I suppose. read more

Supported Bernards Cafe thru' COVID. Quite surprised to see my VISA charged $91.68(!) for my food order of $63.10! Really?? WOW!!! $28.58 going to whom??? How about posting that there will be add'l fees to Grubhub (almost another meal's worth!) somewhere on the ordering platform??? read more

The food was below average for breakfast, but the prices were outrageous a small breakfast between 3 people ended up being almost 50 dollars. 3.75 for apple juice, 8.75 for 1 Belgian waffle. This place needs to step it up read more

We order from here regularly. The food - excellent. The staff - very kind/efficient. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. As with any eating establishment during the pandemic, you're bound to find occasional imperfections. That said, Bernards Cafe always makes it right. They care about their customers. Notable menu items: Meatloaf Chicken Parm (entree, sandwich) Roma Panini Chicken Milanese Salad Veggie side (~$3 for a delicious and generous portion) read more

I've been here rather regularly, at least once a month for the last 3 or 4 years and sometimes more often. Service is a bit slow at times. I guess we've already adapted to this and plan accordingly. There were probably several times we didn't go because of time constraints. For out-of-towners, this place ok. This is reasonably priced and portioned place for locals. This town is not cheap. If you want something more reasonably priced, you will have to go to another town. Also my group is not terribly adventurous with our food diversity here. We typically stick with the hamburger items (usually the black bean or the one with the egg in it), short ribs (wednesday special), or salad. We have only done lunches here. If you are looking for a sit down with a bit more reliable service locally, The Grill a few minutes north is not bad. Otherwise, this is one of few places we frequent on a regular basis. Slight cheaper and faster service, Thai Villa has been slowly moving up our list. I haven't experienced any poor attitudes with service. This may have to do with my more contagiously upbeat friends. I suppose there is one that takes a bit longer to warm up to them. Food quality has been decent. We have not yet wanted to return a dish (we never actually return a dish, we just don't return). Would I go to any place in Basking Ridge specifically from out of town? Not really, maybe 3 at best. Stuck here and limited time? 4 stars. read more

All of the food here is delicious. The staff and team at this spot are incredibly nice and helpful - not only the waitstaff, but the owners and family as well. We not only come here for a meal but also order catering here (sandwiches for family gatherings) and everything is amazing. The quality of ingredients, interesting flavor combinations and the ability to customize is appreciated. Can never go wrong! read more
