It has a private lot and I am assuming it used to be some sort of a fast food Mexican place. The staff is very friendly. Not many tables. I got my order to go. Spicy Garlic tenders and fries. Very tasty. A little bit of kick but no too bad even though the menu shows 3 hot peppers for spice level. The fries are the crinkle cut kind so not fresh cut but still very good. I'd go back for sure.

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.

I got fried wings , fried shrimp with shrimp fried rice (lunch deal $12) and my boyfriend ordered chicken and broccoli with white rice. $22 in total for two meals including drinks which is awesome in this economy.

This is one of those full size stores cosplaying as a "little grocery in the middle of Appalachia". I was cross when my husband and I walked in. I don't like gimmicks. Give me a store with crisp, straight aisles and mind numbing florescent lighting. No frills! We just needed some decent coffee. I love my mother and father in law, but their coffee is clear enough to see through. I glanced around. Hmm. Lots of interesting little bottles of juice. That's kinda neat. Another glance. A beautiful display of flowers and square mylar balloons. I love square mylar balloons. Alright, okay. We ventured further. Huh. Coffee beans with the type and flavor handwritten on the bags. That's kind of endearing. A local shopper told us the "Bourbon Pecan Torte" flavor was her favorite. (She pronounced it PEE-can, which was a treat. If I had a penny for each time someone corrected me with pah-CAHN, I could summer in Newport.) We decided on the pecan and a second bag of eggnog flavor. We ground the beans in the store. How quaint! As we headed toward the dairy section, I noticed their meat and seafood looked rather nice. There were people making sausage. Actual, real, hand ground sausage in its own area. I refused to say it outloud, but in my head, I thought, "That's the way to do it." We moved on and retrieved a bottle of Stōk refrigerated coffee and a container of half & half. You can never have too much coffee. This place ain't so bad. It was when we were headed to the register that I accidentally let out a squeal. Displayed in all its glory was a tin of the Royal Dansk, limited edition, winter cookie collection...as rare as a Fabergé brooch. I walked into Lowe's Foods with a chip on my shoulder.

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 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.
