Yall. When I tell…read moreyou this is hands down THE BEST fried chicken I've had in probably 7-8 years? I'm from South Mississippi and KNOW me some fried chicken, frfr. This place had me hootin and hollerin this afternoon. The workers made me feel right at home like it was meant to be. I don't know anyone here in Columbia and am just getting to know the area and got recommended. We have a place in my hometown called Hartz Chicken and this rivals it (never thought I'd say it). The entire vibe was giving blue collar worker, families, hard working professionals, my white tail, and all in between. If you haven't gone in here, you're wrong for that. I WILL be back, trust and believe that. Thank you to everyone at Bernie's for being so kind to me and welcoming me not only to South Carolina but to this gem of an eatery.

I'm not sure what sparked the craving, but as I passed through Columbia at lunchtime, fried chicken…read moresuddenly seemed like the only answer. I asked Yelp for the highest‑rated spot and ended up here. The place was bustling, with most of the parking lot full, yet the ordering process moved quickly. By the time I returned from the restroom, my number was already being called. I had ordered a three‑piece meal with double cole slaw in place of fries and a sweet tea. Settling in at a table, I dug in. The cole slaw leaned too far on the sweet side for my taste, though the texture was crisp and fresh. I skipped the dinner roll and the tea, focusing instead on the chicken. It was thoroughly cooked, meaty, and satisfying. Not especially spicy or bold in flavor, but solidly good. This isn't a fancy establishment. The tables and floor may not be spotless, but the food delivers. Best fried chicken I've ever had? No. Still, it was very good, and worth the stop.

Spicy pork bowl- as is, it was packed with flavor and loaded with veggies. Everything tasted great. I also loved that they offer complimentary miso soup which is such a nice touch. The dessert section looks incredible, they have soft served ice cream and taiyaki which is like a waffle I think and it can be filled with custard, Nutella or red bean! I can't wait to try it next time. They have tons of drink options too, so you really can't go wrong here. There's plenty of parking, and outdoor seating is available when the weather is nice. Highly recommend!

From Korean fried chicken to bibimbap and tteokbokki and the main desserts this place has a nice variety. They even offer hibachi bowls here and have some great dessert options. They have a self ordering kiosk as well as a register if you want human interaction- what I love about the kiosk is you're not holding up the line and can look through the menu. This place was clean and they ordering was efficient with the wait not being too bad either. I went with the bibimbap bowl that came with bulgogi and I loved it, I ordered a mango milk tea with it and added boba ( now the boba was not very good it was hard like it was either undercooked or sitting too long) but everything else I loved. My family all opted for the Korean friend chicken and different drinks an we're all impressed. We had to order some bingsu for dessert which is their version of shave ice and it was magical. All in all if you have not tried Korean food this is a good first introduction, prices are fair and the place is clean with good customer service .

The food looks buffet style but it's not and it's all hot. There's certain dishes that are only there on certain days so I got chicken, corn on the cob, and green beans. All of it was good. The only thing it's lacking is a place to sit and eat. This is more of a takeout spot. Not a big deal.... If I'm back that way I will hit them up.

I told myself, things happen, maybe it wandered in, the reviews were decent, perhaps the food would make up for it. It did not. It took nearly 20 minutes for our meals to arrive. My wife ordered the quarter white meal with corn and mashed potatoes, which was fine but forgettable. My son ordered a chicken tender meal with plantains and received fries instead, after waiting that long, we did not bother sending it back. I ordered the steak bowl with plantains and black beans, and the steak was so poor I stopped eating after the second bite. To be fair, the rice was good, and the black beans and plantains were decent. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the experience, and it was not enough to offset the cleanliness concerns, the wait, or the quality of the main dishes.

Chester's found in lot of truck stops gas stations places like that the Loves ones are ran by loves same with Pilot they're not franchise separately. I came in I really wanted some fried chicken livers but they were out they got cleaned out from the lunch crowd would be about an hour till they had more made. there wasn't even enough for a whole order of potato wedges they would be about another half hour till they were made I was hungry and had to go. the reason for such a long duration staffing help they only have one person working so she not only has to ring up the sales but also has to turn around and return and do all the cooking meaning pull it bread it fry it. so I went with the four chicken strips that they said they just gotten done mashed potatoes and came with the biscuit. Chesters to me are hit and miss touch and go and a crap shoot you never know if you're going to get a decent one with employees that know what they're doing and take pride especially at loves or if it's going to suck. I should have went more with the more recent reviews on Google. they definitely reflect my experience today. Sit down I open up my box and the mashed potatoes were a total let down they were not cooked like mashed potatoes they were gluey. I didn't want any of the gravy because it looked old. for some fresh chicken tenders they were Fair not quite average they were edible but it didn't seem like they were cooked properly like some other chesters can with nice crispy outside. the biscuit seemed like it was getting old too. I also bought a chicken leg cuz I was pretty hungry when I came in that was definitely pretty much at the end of its cycle too. I felt like I didn't get any value for my money but I'm not one to really complain that wasn't going to pitch a fit but it is what it is it wasn't hot but it was warm and that's usually how a lot of Chesters are unfortunately. and why for the most part I don't just wake up saying oh I can't wait to have chesters today tomorrow like what's around now I guess it'll be Chester's over McDonald's or Subway if I've had too much.

This place has me excited when it comes to the "Dave's Not Chicken" menu. I ordered Cauli Dave's #3, which is 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider W/ Fries. This is so delicious! Everything has that perfect crispy and a taste that melts in your mouth. The sauce and honey make it just that much better. An amazing combination. My husband ordered the Saucy Bites W/Fries. He stated the meal was crispy and fulfilling. We also ordered the Small Cauliflower Top Loaded Fries. This was another hit for me! It comes with a cheese sauce, pickles and kale slaw topped with cauli bites and a drizzle of Dave's sauce. It tastes so good! If you have never eaten here or tried the cauli menu, please try it. I highly recommend it. As always great service and clean restaurant.

The inside was clean and it ended up being a 15 minute wait, not 45. The chicken to breading ratio was great as it wasn't too breaded.
