Bernie's - Kennesaw

I have to admit, I had very high hopes about this place, being from the good reviews and a couple people mentioning it in passing. The building is inviting, open and in an amazing location. The menu is written in a way that makes you want to eat everything, unfortunately, you won't want to do that. The appetizers that we started with were good, highlight of our meal, crab fritters and queso, and that is where it should have stopped. I ordered the steak frites, medium, it came out well done and inedible, no problem things happen. I change my order to the brisket burger, medium, came out well done. Ok, I sense a trend,  whatever, ill keep it. Burger has onions, bacon jam and blue cheese on it. Drowning in blue cheese, drowning. Trash. Gf gets the pasta Primavera,  it was decent. They offer us a complimentary desert to make up for the botched food, so we indulge, and get the Creme Brulee.. now I didn't read the menu to see if it was some kind of special but it was more like flan from the grocery store with a bit of sugar, and then to give the final huh, they throw a big chunk of ice cream on top. Had high hopes, should've kept low expectations.

Great choice! It has a fantastic atmosphere and we had superior, gracious service. It's in the middle of downtown Kennesaw and kots of outdoor and indoor seating!! Bernie's food is top notch and not run of the mill. We had the chicken nachos with blue chips, avocado and a house made queso that is not like anything else! Loved them! We also had grilled oysters on the half shell with cheese, LOTS OF CHEESE! Our drinks were great from the bar and my favorite turned out to be the peach sangria! Go give it a try!!

We had the blackened Salmon BLT and Pad Thai w chicken. Both dishes were very good. The atmosphere is cozy. We will come back.

My father and I had dinner at Bernie's weekend before the last and let me tell you we had an amazing experience!!!! Everything from service to ambience was perfect! Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The food was so delicious!!! If you have not tried the Perogies, they are a must and come to ours made them authentic by a Polish family and delivered to Bernie's. The owners definitely know what they do, and we also love that it is family property. We will be absolutely back!!!

Bernie is a cool place for lunch or dinner in the heart of Kennesaw. The food is delicious and its menu has enough variety for everyone to find a favorite!
