Absolutely great happy hour. The place was busy and a lot of good natured people. Hamburger was excellent and the potato salad was spot on. We had a great experience. A couple of items some may not be excited about, there’s good old fashion cigarette smoking and the bar tender was whipped due to only being one on shift. She hustled, but we had to be patient due to the number of patrons. Great bar with a dive twist.

This was an interesting thing… you start by finding a table. You have choices between bar seating, outdoor patio or inside booths and tables. Then you head over to grab menus and order at the kitchen window. You are given a table buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. The bar is hopping and super busy. So be patient for your turn to place a bar order. There were two bartenders, serving about 40-50 bar folk, as well as the additional walk up diners. It was impressive to watch the bar staff move quickly and efficiently. The food was a little bit of a wait, as it seems to be a one man show in the kitchen. But boy was it worth it. It was delicious! The french dip was very tasty and there was almost too much meat in the club. I highly recommend the food. Be patient, it’s worth it. I only wish that they had a bit more staff. Seriously, two bar tenders, one cook and one bus person. Apart from that, the atmosphere was fun and people were super friendly. This was a memorable meal.

We have eaten at Bernie’s multiple times. Today was very busy, we understand. After an extremely long time (40 -45 minutes), I went to check on our meal. I was informed by the individual cooking; it would be ready when it was ready. We purchased the special 2 Bacon cheese burgers and a pitcher of beer. Guess the bacon was optional. Husband got mayo on his. Mine was dry. No bacon, (which we paid for) no mayo. Husband offered to go get me some mayo but after the attitude of the cook, no thank you. We will never eat there again. Expect to be short changed on your order and attitude when busy.

Stopped by Bernie’s for a drink and a bite to eat.
Oh boy were we were surprised!
We got there around 2:00 for happy hour and it was starting to get busy.
The place filled up with locals by 3 and we checked out the menu..
Wow a fried Bologna sandwich served on Texas toast with potato salad and bread and butter pickles Yummy. $7.75 well worth the money.
We also tried the Air fried egg rolls and that came with soy sauce and red chili sauce. These were good also.
When the bill came the draft Bud light were $1 each and the mixed drinks were $2 each un happy hour.
Five stars *****
The only down that I have personally is that you can smoke in the bars and everyone inside was smoking.

One of the best sandwich spots on the island, closes at 7:00 p.m. but until then they serve some of the best food you’ll find on this side of Port Aransas. They mean “extra” when you order it like nowhere else

On my fishing trip, I had a fantastic experience with great service. The prices were reasonable. I was particularly impressed with Jordan, the bartender, who provided professional and attentive service. She is a true gem.

We just moved to the area and went here a couple days ago. No one acknowledged us after walking around for about 10 minutes. Seems to be a locals only kind of place. It felt uninviting to 1st timers. No big deal. There are plenty of other places to spend money at on the island.
