I usually go on a promoted party event days. When I first came the food was decent or should I say pretty good and that was around the time they first opened up as I continue to come occasionally, quality of food got worse. I usually get the catfish greens and baked beans or catfish and fries with an extra side, it comes with 2 sides. I recently went. I believe it was February 21st and I got the grilled wings because they were recommended by a friend, they were not hot at all as in fresh just like warn, super small and super dry...I was so hungry and I wanted to eat before having a couple of cocktails so I end up keeping the food because I didn't want to wait another 45 mins for food that still probably wouldn't have been good but I will never do that again because I'm quick to send fo

Had an amazing time at the lounge! 🎉 The food was really good, the vibes were great, and everyone had a fun time partying. The atmosphere was perfect for a night out and the staff was friendly. Definitely a spot to come to if you want good food and a great time! 🍹🔥

Disappointing and Misleading Experience – This Is Not a Restaurant My friends and I chose this place for a girls’ night out after seeing it promoted on Black Foodie as a restaurant. Unfortunately, what we experienced was not a restaurant at all—it was a poorly managed club with misleading advertising. First red flag: when we called ahead to make reservations, we were told reservations weren’t needed because there was “plenty of seating.” That turned out to be completely untrue. Second red flag: upon arrival, we were told parking was $40. We declined and had to park in a dark lot several minutes away and walk back. Third red flag: security conducted an invasive, unnecessary search that felt inappropriate and unprofessional. Once inside, we waited about 10 minutes to be acknowledged, on

My husband and son randomly chose Bernices for lunch and dined in. They were greeted by the waitress but was asked what they wanted when before they barely sat down or viewed a menu. Waitress lacked intuitive waitress skills. Like many people dont actually dine in to be served. They were never offered water or table settings. Which they ordered habanero wings, you would think water would be offered. When they received their water, it was in a short whisky glasses with stir straws. Food was just OK, not the best quality for the price. Wings seem to be frozen, fried and then tossed in sauce. We love trying new establishments in the area, but this one seems to cater more to their after hours events, and possibly takeout customers more so than dining in.
