Bernie's Social Bar

My experience at Bernie's exceeded my expectations! I met a friend for dinner on a Saturday night spontaneously, and we expected the wait to be long so we went early. It was packed because there was a concert in town, but we didn't have to wait long. It's a large restaurant with a lofted area, which is where we were seated. Our waitress rocked!I saw a lot of people with the Ultra Violet cocktail, so I ordered that and it was really nice.My friend and I shared the Birria Short Rib Flatbread and the Shrimp and Scallop Fettuccine, and honestly, both were 10/10. Seriously so good, and I'll be returning just to have those again.

The service is superb! Food is outstanding! The drinks and beer selection is awesome! We come here for casual dinners and special occasions. It never disappoints! I have tried so many items on the menu. Tonight, I had the beet salad, salmon blt and the Branski for my drink. My husband ordered the cranberry salad, and pork medallions. We had the ahi tuna nachos for appetizer. All really yummy...so much so that I didn't have time to take pics. Taylor was our server and she was excellent!

First timer here!!!Came on a Saturday for a girls' afternoon lunch. Thanks to Yelp, we found this place to try and none of us had been here before. First thing, the vibe- it's a very nice interior with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs prepare the food. Speaking of food- I had the Salmon BLT sandwich.... And I must say, that thing was absolutely delicious. I mean DELICIOUS. I don't think I have ever had a better salmon sandwich before. The Parmesan fries were a wonderful addition to the meal. No compliments at all. My girlfriends had an open burger with side salad. The other had a salad with shrimp and house dressing. All of us had rave reviews for the food. I recommend everyone give this place a try. I would absolutely come back.

Bernie's is my favorite restaurant! On this trip I got the lobster Benedict for brunch and it was great. I loved the Cajun potatoes that came with it. The staff is excellent and the drinks are delicious. I've also had the salmon BLT and the hot honey chicken sandwich- so good!

My wife and I tried this restaurant today. It is a great location that is bright and cheerful inside but also offers outdoor tables. At first we sat inside but I asked my wife if she preferred to dine outside. It was a beautiful Spring day so we sat outside. Our waiter was Harrison and he quickly greeted us and provided water to us. He asked about other drink options and asked about appetizers. He said their char-grilled oysters were a good starter. He offered descriptions of some of his favorites on the menu. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and my wife ordered the Corned Beef Reuben. Both were scrumptious and were delivered to the table quickly.We will definitely return and plan to sample of of the great sounding appetizers next time.

We were able to dine today at Bernie's for lunch immediately after church with no reservation. We called ahead and they had no wait, which was awesome. Parking is ample and free in the street. This was our first time to downtown Kennesaw, and it is very quaint. It reminds me for downtown Roswell and downtown Alpharetta. We are blessed in Georgia with very nice small towns and suburbs that are not overly crowded and are off the beaten path.We started with the Brussels and the Perogies. This was my first time having Perogies. They are like Gnocchi if Gnocchi was ravioli. They are soft, delicious, savory, and were served with sour cream. The Brussels were okay but they were not the best I've had---they were a little tough to chew and cut and were not as well seasoned as, say, a Toast on Lenox.They accommodating my request to Blacken the salmon. It was simply delicious, cooked to perfection, and served over root vegetables with a scrumptious risotto. This may be the second best risotto that I've had behind that at Georgia Sea Grill on St. Simons Island, which is undoubtedly the absolute best. My lunch entree was so good, and I highly recommend it.They dessert special was the Blueberry Lemon Muffin with Vanilla Ice Cream, and it is enough for two. It was delightful, as I love anything that is blueberry and lemon flavored. There is more of a blueberry compote served on top instead of a traditional blueberry muffin. You will not be disappointed with this amazing dessert option.Overall, this was a stellar post-church lunch on Palm Sunday. We were quite pleased and will definitely return in the future.

I might normally have given Bernie's a 4.5, but I rounded up for a few reasons. We happened to be in the area and wanted to explore downtown Kennesaw. This was one of the places I had scouted ahead of time, and apparently they changed their hours a couple of months ago and now opened (on Sundays) at 11 a.m. rather than noon. We parked in a free lot across the street (points for that) and wandered in. I'm always a bit apprehensive about restaurants that serve brunch, actually. My fear is that the switch to brunch only and won't let you order from the normal menu. I'm giving Bernie's points for both a) offering both menus, and b) having something on the brunch menu that was appealing. In fact, both my wife and I ordered it - the omelet. It came with cubed potatoes which were cooked and seasoned quite well. Sometimes these can be greasy but mine were not. Service was...leisurely, in an appropriate way for a late morning on Sunday. Nothing felt rushed and we were never in a hurry to move on. Our server was quite friendly as well. The décor was interesting. It looked like they bought a bunch of lumber, distressed it in various ways, and then put it up in semi-random patterns to simulate using salvaged products. It was odd, but worked. The layout was a large main floor at street level, a smaller balcony level where we sat, and a few outdoor / patio tables. Bernie's was a nice blend of multiple aspects restaurants. I'd be interested to check it out again.

We arrived and were very impressed with the staff and the restaurant. They had asked us where we would like to sit top floor or outside bar even bottom floor. The restaurant is just eclectic a little bit of everything for everyone with the decor of the restaurant. Simple but stated! The food was outstanding. We started with a simple cup of French onion soup, which had all the perfect flavors. we then ordered a few drinks and waited for the chargrilled oysters. Outstanding and delicious; cooked well with different types of sauces to put on them.. We went through them by Grant through Richmond. Decided on and ordered our entrées. My Wife ordered the breakfast hamburger with patti instead of four Patti's which comes with this burger on it, bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese. She added arugula from my dish to her sandwich, which put it over the top for her. I ordered the snapper which was 8 ounces grilled in a butter sauce and was excellent tender, sweet and vibrant. Accompanied with succotash a great value. It had flavor out of this world.

I really like this restaurant. Great food, nice and welcoming staff and cool atmosphere. The Camp McDonald was a good quality spin on the Big Mac! They also pour a pretty good and strong drink at the bar . Highly recommend!

Visited the restaurant for dinner last weekOur server was very courteous and quick. We ordered some drinks with queso dip with tortillas and chips. They brought a lot of chips and queso was really good. We split a burger with french fries and coleslaw. All this tested good. Then split a warm brownie with ice cream. Liked the food next time we'll try something different The place is modern casual and relaxing The Kennesaw downtown setting is very pleasant and nice to visit
