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.

I saw that this place was open and coincidentally, I was craving Korean fried chicken. We ordered fried chicken of course - half honey garlic chicken and half of the yangnyeom flavor. We also got the cheese fries and corn dog. I loooooved everything! I wish I had the stomach capacity to order more chicken so I can try more flavors!

I then had to go inside and be told there were only 3 people working and had to wait so I didn't get my fries and a medium coke until 7:30. Workers need to be off the phones and work..

They were very helpful and upbeat. While waiting for the chicken I noticed the colorful murals on the wall and it gave the place a nice vibe There were table and chairs inside and outside too. Our order was ready promptly and looked delicious. I had the number 4, which was a chicken slider and my side was crispy fries. They offered 5 heat levels, I had the number 2. They have the reaper which you have to sign a waiver. Let me just say the chicken slider and fries were delicious. Daves uses high quality chicken and you can tell by the taste. I will definitely return.

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.

Finally, I tried this place and it satisfied my craving that I been having for a while now. The first thing I noticed was how clean it looked and smell just walking in. I kept mentioning to my boyfriend how cleaned the restaurant was. The service wasn't overly friendly but provided everything I needed so... But food was good and the rice was brown how I prefer it. 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. The lunch specials are worth it . We ate there and finished the rest for dinner.

That's some serious stuff. To get a C rating in SC you have to miss a lot. Guys please check the ratings of places before you order because it's crazy that happened. Anyway I threw the food out before I could take a photo. The teriyaki chicken looked a mess and unappetizing but the wings and friend rice looked great we just couldn't eat it due to the roach and the C rating. Better to be safe than sorry. Here's the pdf to see exactly what they missed, usually a C rating is bad but it depends what they got docked for. In this case it's terrible because not only are there bugs but also improper raw food storage and cross contamination. That'll get someone sick! https://pubdoc.dhec.sc.gov/inspection/a08222db-1798-4345-bb9a-ecbf3e19e2a4.pdf

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 left with a smile.

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.

Excited to try fried chicken pickup in the future.
