Had the most unpleasant experience and treatment from the owner of this establishment last month. I have been meaning to post this but have very busy but I could not let the rude offensive language and behavior of this lady who is the owner. I was treated very badly in front the whole restaurant for no reason whatsoever. I simply just didn't like the taste of a what I ordered and I was extremely polite and respectful when I expressed it to my waitress. She informed the owner and she came like a vicious person aggressively questioning me why I didn't like it and that she wasted her food on me. I apologized and told her to please keep her voice down and behave appropriately as I did not raise my voice to her she instead opted to yell out louderso everyone can hear her I asked her to please lower her voice and told her that was not professional behavior and that I would pay for the rest of our order that my family ordered. We paid for the check and tipped our waitress with no problem and she kept on to stating do you do this in all of your outings in restaurants I was appalled by this comment - embarrassing and insulting to say the least. As we get up she yells out get out of my restaurant and I never want to see you again. People were looking and even questioned me what happened. I have never been treated in such a terrible manner. I am an avid restaurant customer in Naples and all over Florida. I personally don't think this is how you approach and handle yourself and run a business. Absolute failure of respect of a customer. I could have stooped to her level but I do not conduct myself in such a disrespectful manner. I gave one star because I couldn't leave zero stars as deserved. read more

Grrrrrrreat waffles! Huge, crispy, fluffy, amazing. Delicious corned beef hash, super crisped and pounded this across the large square plate: the better to splash with Cholula. Nice rye toast. The mimosa choices are fun! I opted for a spiced pear, which arrived with a lovely rim of spiced sugar. Really enjoyable with the HUGE side of crispy wide bacon. The coffee needs some oomph... don't know if I got the light-handed batch, but I was so hoping for strong chewy coffee here. I'm guessing the woman who came out to apologize sweetly for being out of pork chops was the owner. She checked in with every table in a breezy quick way, outside and in. Our waitress was fast and had a great smile. This is a 5 star starter breakfast. Going back for chops!! read more

I've had a lot of breakfast spots in Naples and most are run of the mill - I expected the same but Bernie's really stood out. Got the biscuits and gravy platter with eggs and home fries and they were all delicious. Friendly (and quick) service too! This will be one of my "go to" spots for sure! read more

In the same cluster of stores The Pewter Mug is located. Mrs. K wanted to try this place and since it was new to me, I also wanted to give it a try. I had ham and three eggs with hashbrowns and whole wheat toast. It was enough food and very tasty. My eggs, ham, hashbrowns, and toast were all good perfectly and tasted great. Mrs. K. ordered the Strawberry and Banana crepes. I am not a crepe kind of guy, but she gave me a taste. They were outstanding. If this place was slightly more crowded it could have been a problem with only two servers working the whole room. As it was, we had perfect service to go along with the food. read more

Service was great. You can tell the owner really cares and tries. She was saying hello and good bye to everyone. The food wasn't so special though. It's all something I could have made at home. We wanted a side waffle and it wasn't an option, we had to get a whole entree for an entree price. My Greek burrito had yellow cheese on it. Never had a Greek anything with yellow cheese. The menu said it came with feta and there was none in sight. Coffee and juice were tasty. For a breakfast place with basic food, we paid way too much. read more

Had breakfast this morning at Bernie's. Took our grandkids. Everything was good, EXCEPT for the bacon. It was clearly and tastefully evident that it was NOT freshly grilled with our order and was likely grilled yesterday, refrigerated,and microwaved to warm it . We did not want to address it in front of our grandchildren, but should have. read more

One word-Amazing!!! We stopped by on Wednesday(me and 2 friends of mine) for early lunch, they had special "homemade spanakopita" which I got and I loved it!!! My two friends got traditional gyro and avocado Benedict they were charmed with flavor. For our server we had Iona she was brilliant(don't forget to ask for her when you get there), and she can always recommend you good stuff cause they have huge menus, available breakfast and lunch all the time. For sure will be back!!! read more

Went for lunch and will definitely go back. I had a tuna sandwich with coleslaw. The tuna was delicious and the sandwich was overflowing with tuna. The coleslaw was perfect. Not to mayonnaisey and not to dry. Perfect. My husband had a corned beef sandwich overflowing with meat. Service was excellent. Very busy place for a week day. Clean and nice decor. read more

Looking for a local place to grab some brunch on our way home. Bernie's was on our way and looked like it had some great options. Sat ourselves and was waited on by Rosie. She was fabulous and had some great stories. What a life she has lived! I got the Bernie melt. Delicious and packed full of flavor with the corned beef and turkey. Deb had the traditional gyro. Really good and tasty. Everything was cooked to order and fresh so you may have to wait a bit longer but it will be worth it. read more

If you have not been to Bernie's, you are missing out!! I have never had a restaurant make the most perfect over easy eggs, EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!

Food is served quickly and always hot! read more

Based on Bernie's having a 4.4 rating, I must have visited on a very OFF day. Went for breakfast with my wife - and won't be back. Walked into the restaurant at 10.30am on a weekday - approx five tables were occupied - so they weren't busy. A tall male server half greeted us from a distance. We made our way to a booth - where this same server left two menus and walked away. After sitting for about 10mins a female server came by and asked if we had been helped. We said no and she said she would take our order although the male server was assigned to our table. So strike one for service. My wife ordered scramble eggs with bacon, English Muffin and orange juice and I ordered the corn beef hash. The waitress asked how my wife would like her English muffins and my wife requested well toasted. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed the waitress asked this - it was a first for us. The food came out surprisingly quickly - but left a lot to be desired. My wife's orange juice was luke warm and she required some ice . The English muffin was barely toasted and was sent back to be further toasted. The muffin came back toasted as originally ordered - but was cold . My wife's scrambled eggs and bacon were cold. My corn beef hash was about the size of my hand - and was waffer thin. I foaled the wafer thin hash over - and consumed the entire portion in two mouth fulls. Actually the hash tasted pretty good . Here is my main complaint - How can food be served quickly - maybe five minutes after ordering and be served cold ? How can a muffin go back to the kitchen to be toasted - come back toasted within a minute cold. Unless someone has invented how to "cook food cold" - I'm perplexed! All in all a pretty sad experience - needless to say we won't be returning to Bernie's. Too many other good breakfast spots - House of Omelette, Blue Jelly etc. . read more

Bernie's City Diner is a homerun if you're looking for a totally enjoyable dining experience. Starting with the welcoming decor and the vast menu, we were delighted with the food we ordered. But best of all our Food Server, Rosie, was the best we've experienced in a long time! She was just a delight and really elevated the whole dining experience with her "people skills" and knowledge of the entire menu. The Spinach and cheese omelet that she recommended was fantastic and tasted as good as it looked. Rosie is a "personality plus" kind of gal. Be sure to ask for her table when you visit Bernie's for a truly enjoyable meal! Thank you, Rosie and Chef! read more

Bernie's City Diner is now open for dinner offering a delicious line up Mouthwatering food from Greek inspired dishes like Moussaka, Gyro Platter, Saganaki (flaming cheese), Spanakopita (Spinach pie), Souvlaki to American comfort food like Pot Roast, Liver & Onions and Ribs. I was told Prime Rib will be on the menu soon which is a big bonus considering they make a killer French Dip during breakfast and lunch time. The menu offers appetizers, desserts, seafood and salads. I was sat right away and was immediately greeted by the owner who was very outgoing, friendly and helpful. After reviewing the menu I decided upon one of my favorite items, Liver & Onions. I'm very picky about my food my L&O's and this dish was spectacular! Cooked to a perfect medium it was melt in your mouth delicious! Served with a side of mashed potatoes and flavorful green beans. I put this dish up with against any L&O's in SWFL. I also had the Saganaki (Flaming Cheese) that was cooked perfectly and served on a hot cast iron skillet. I discovered this place about a year ago and have become a frequent regular as the food is just that good. Service was excellent and can't wait to return. If your dining for lunch, I highly recommend the French Dip Sandwich served with shaved prime rib and au jus. read more

Tried Bernie city diner based on yelp reviews today. Place was nice and clean service was friendly and attentive. I try the Irish omelette which had corn beef inside with a hollandaise sauce on top. The omelette was huge. The corn beef was homemade and quite tasty. It came with either home fries or hashbrowns I tried the hashbrowns. They were delicious and you could have toast or fruit or a pancake I chose a pancake. It was probably an 8 inch pancake. They had sugar-free pancake syrup, which was great. My friend had the Western omelette with hashbrowns and multigrain toast. Both of us could not finish our meal. It was very large and delicious. Will definitely go back. read more

They never disappoint! read more

Best breakfast in Naples, hands down. Portions are huge and everything is fresh! You won't find a better sausage gravy without making it yourself! Waffles are light and crisp. Lots of Benedict options. Mediterranean and greek scrambles are my two favorites. Lunch soups and chili are all awesome. Homemade spanakopita is best ever had as well! Salad portions are huge and are amazing! read more

A great breakfast and lunch spot and Rosie (Rosemarie) is always a wonderful server that knows how to take great care of the customers. She makes wonderful drinks (I especially love her Bloody Mary) and all her drink creations add to a great meal. She is always engaging and makes you feel welcomed and special. She never steers you wrong on the daily specials. Be sure to get a chance to be served by Rosie! Bernie's is so lucky having great staff like Rosie and the other servers that understand a great dining spot is about feeling welcomed, as well as served good food, you can get good food at many places, but a great experience makes a real difference! At Bernie's Diner you'll love the food, the service and awesome Bloody Marys read more

Bernie's Diner has earned their stars honestly. We don't get to the area often but must plan for lunch at Bernie's. The Damschroeder Melt is so full of flavor. And the fries have a nice crisp crust with tender centers. Everything I have tried is much better than expected. Service is quick from the kitchen. Hot is hot. Cold is cold. The wait staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. You are treated better than family, more like old friends. read more

Let me just start by saying I am very picky with restaurants and am not a diner fan. My husband has been bugging me for weeks to try this place because of their homemade corn beef. I begrudgingly gave in this morning and was completely expecting to leave dissatisfied. When you walk in, its a typical diner with no frills. The menu is limited which means they better be good at what they offer. The menu consists of homemade corn beef, pastrami, roast beef etc. They also have breakfast. So what do I order at a restaurant that specializes in corn beef? Breakfast! Rookie mistake! My husband ordered the corn beef sandwich and I ordered the french toast platter. My breakfast was huge with french toast, eggs, homemade sausage, and home fries. My breakfast was good, but the star of the show was the corn beef. I had major food envy when my husbands food came. The meat was sliced thin and delicious. It was an easy 5 stars! I wanted to eat all of his sandwich. My food was good 3 stars. But the corn beef blew me away! I want to come back and try their other homemade meats. So some things to know before you go to Bernies. Get the corn beef, roast beef or pastrami. All are homemade and the corn beef is easily 5 stars! Just come for the meat. Dont come for the ambiance or anything that isnt homemade. Bernies is a great unique addition to Southwest Florida and will transport you to a New York deli!!! We need more of these unique delicious restaurants!!! read more

This was a great surprise for me. I have been looking for a good corned beef sandwich in SWFL and I finally found one. When I got here I asked them if they made the corned beef themselves before ordering. So many places around here just buy some from a food distributor and slice off that. I got the normal corned beef sandwich. They had other options with cheese and other stuff on it, but those hide the flavor of the meat. You can tell the difference in the freshness right away when it is made on site. One bite into this sandwich and the juices fill your mouth with that great salty flavor. You also don't get stringy fatty meat in Bernie's sandwich. I couldn't ask for any more. read more

My husband and I went for lunch wanted to try this place. There was a wait for outside seating but inside was available. We went inside the lady told us sit anywhere so we did.. few minutes later I had to get someone to get us the menu, about 5 minutes later still no one paid us any attention it was busy I understand, I'm very forgiving when it comes to that, but for another couple to just walk in after all of this sits down gets handed the menu, water brought out and order taken, while we are still sitting here without anyone even asking if we've been helped. This is ridiculous, seems to me this place is racist because we're not white they don't even bother to greet us. So anyone other then the light skinned people if you go here beware!!! read more
