    The front

    Bernie's has been in this location on E. Bessemer Avenue for as long as I can remember. Like Frosty's and O'Henry's in Greensboro, there is barbecue in the name, but they don't cook their own, and their other food items are a better choice - daily special meat & 2, and sandwiches. Like so many mom & pop operations, this place is worn looking inside and out, more about food and service than ambiance. The meat & 2 items contain the usual suspects - Country Style Steak, Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, etc - and generally are good, if not spectacular. The hot dog is good, and could be very good if the flavor of the chili was kicked up a notch or two - I've found that a good dose of salt and Texas Pete works wonders here. The burger is a typical, greasy diner burger, again good, but not great. Don't care for the fries here, no real flavor, mushy consistence. Good friendly folks here, waitresses seem to know most the customers. The parking lot is small, and parking can be a bit of a problem at peak, but a side street is available.

    We eat here a lot. The menu is limited but the food is good and the service is great. It is a small local eatery.

    Best home cooked food in Greensboro. Been around for 35 years. Plate lunches are where it's at.

    Was in the area for business and this place was recommended by some of my Greensboro colleagues…read more The daily specials on my visit were brisket meatloaf or brisket chimichangas. Unfortunately when I arrived at 5:30 both were already sold out. I went with sliced brisket, collard greens and Gouda Mac & Cheese. Everything was excellent! Good smoke ring on the brisket, meat was very juicy and not dry. Only complaint would be that I prefer the stems removed from my collards, not a deal breaker, just my preference. All of the BBQ sauces were excellent as well. The atmosphere was awesome, loved the old vintage hometown feel. Can't wait for my next visit, I will arrive earlier to try and get the daily specials!

    Such a great experience! I don't eat meat much, but took my brother to Black Powder on our Yelp CM…read more- Didn't let us down at all! The service was great with everyone there being super helpful and sweet to us first-timers. We ordered 1/4lb beef brisket (only my brother had that and really loved it!), sauced chicken wings, turkey sandwich with potato salad as a side, pulled pork sandwich with fries, and Smoked Gouda Mac&Cheese. Everything was delicious, especially the fries, turkey sandwich, Mac&Cheese, and the wings!! The place has a very warm atmosphere and we saw a lot of families enjoying their meals. Overall a great stop for anyone wanting to try Barbecue in the Triad area.

    I finally got a chance to try Papa Byrd's food again!! I got the Pork Chop, Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs,…read moreMac n Cheese, & Cabbage. It was DOGGONE GOOD! $10 for meat & 2 sides is a great deal. He's also got big yummy turkey legs & more! Y'all should definitely visit & support. I was going to do a mukbang review, but the food was gone in like two seconds. Hours: Mon-Sat (sometimes Sunday) 9-4 Locations: 1) Ace HardWare ( Randleman & Vandalia ) 2) American Furniture parking lot (Gate City Blvd) Greensboro, *Weather permitting*

    These guys have been killing it for years and years on this corner…read more Their schedule from what I've learned: Monday-Thursday is dogs, and steak and cheese Friday-Sunday is pork chops, ribs, Wings, fish I think I'm missing some items. The around the world plate ($35) isn't bad, ribs are a hit and miss. Some pieces have been charred to death and really dry. Other pieces are succulent and juicy. You get a good amount of fish, but the later you go, you start tasting the oil getting old. The wings are good. Simple topped with old bay. Crinkle cut fries are, well, just that. The pork chop was the shoe stopper. Look at that damn piece! (Sorry my inner monologue escaped). Juicy and lots of flavor. The steak they gave, was great. Who doesn't love a grilled steak! Come check them out on Randleman! Price range $15-$45
