★★★★★ 5.0 Brandon Crawford · Nov 2025

Such a great place, 6 of us had dinner and drinks and the service was outstanding, our server( I forgot her name) but she was going to costarica when they close for the season. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. We had a little bit of everything from the menu. I highly recommend this place for just having a few drinks or having a great dinner with a bottle of wine and fantastic food. The bathrooms were also very clean and plenty of parking.

Family decided to try Bernie’s for dinner. Had to wait about 20 minutes, not terrible for what seemed like a pretty busy night. I ordered the Brazilian Steak Carnaval. I requested medium rare, but it came out more like medium to medium well. Food took a long time, so didn’t want to wait any longer for a correction. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food more or less. Although portions for price for most of the items weren’t great. Seems like a decent option for a beach town as long as the wait isn’t too long. Just don’t expect anything amazing.

We visited in August and again in September, based on a friend's recommendation. While we have also frequented Barefoot Bernie's, we actually prefer this location now. In August, it was a Friday night, so we knew they'd be busy. We liked the option to wait in our car and view from our phones where we were in the queue, when it was our turn to be seated. We were seated in the bar, which was lively but not too noisy. What really impressed us was the bartender (Danny?). He did not miss a beat! He covered a full bar AND made sure his tables had the coverage needed. It's rare one can do that well and he struck the perfect balance, during an incredibly busy time, impressive. We returned for lunch on Friday in September, seated in the dining area, and our server took great care of us as well. Bot

We really enjoy this place every time we’re in Corolla. We make sure this is a stop every time we’re down (even when it was the tomato patch). It’s been consistent for years now. Really enjoy the parrot wings. If you don’t want to wait, the bar is also a great spot to eat at.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Aileen · Jun 2024

Bernie's is one of my favorite restaurants in Corolla. Whenever my family and I come to town, we always come here at least twice. There is so many options for everyone and their Fish and Chips is the best I've ever had. The employees are kind and attentive plus the atmosphere is inviting. 2025 Update: Honestly, this is really the only dinner restaurant that we love coming too. The food is amazing, the staff is incredibly attentive and caring, plus the atmosphere is wonderful. It's the kind of beach place you want and are looking for when you come. I don't think there's anything on this menu that we've gotten that hasn't been good. We keep coming back and you should too!
