Best Subs ever! Toasted to perfection every time. The Italian sub with the pepper relish (relish is a must) is outstanding. Family also loves the Turkey and Cheese. Best to call order in ahead of time even if eating there but always worth the wait.

Nothing much needs to be said about Bernie’s other than it’s the best place for an Italian Sub (Regular) with peppers, extra soggy. IYKYK.

On many recommendations stopped by, gf had the most pathetic turkey sub with 2 super thin slices of meat. I got steak/cheese with mystery meat. Employee was barely there. We were very disappointed to say the least.

Been going to Bernie’s since the 70s. The subs are consistently good but the service is horrible. Their posted hours are 11 to 8 but they consistently close at around 6. I walked in at around 6:15 one afternoon and they would not serve me as they were closing. I challenged the owner on that and he acted like I was just a pain in the behind. Too bad the ownership doesn’t really care. Used to be an awesome place.

The food was delicious! I do wish I had a bit more turkey on the turkey sub, but if you get the sub toasted it is the most delicious thing ever! Also, the manager is so sweet and she will always be willing to have a kind conversation with you 🙂

Have been eating Bernies subs since I came to UR in 1973. Loved the pizza oven toasted crispness of the sandwiches. Usually get the Italian or Roast Beef. Has been worth the drive as I lived in different areas of Richmond over the years. In 2020 moved away until 2024 when I returned. Saturday I attended an afternoon basketball game at UR. Afterwards went by Bernies to pick up an Italian and a Steak and Cheese for the wife and I. Was surprised there were no customers. Got the sandwiches and left. Got home and tried them and was astonished at how bad they were. Italian had no lettuce or tomato, but so many hot peppers I could taste nothing else. It was bad. “Steak” and cheese had some kind of compressed beef loaf layered on the bun with a slice of Swiss cheese between the meat substance. No lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, mayo, oil&vinegar, or anything……but some hot peppers. We ate half the sandwiches and threw out the rest. WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?? I used to get great sandwiches there, but these were nothing like the original sandwiches I became accustomed to for nearly 50 years. I was the only customer (after a game with 6000 attending literally a half mile away right before dinnertime??), yet waited over 20 minutes for 2 sandwiches which the “chef” obviously had no idea how to make. I guess every good thing eventually comes to an end. Miss the old Bernies, but won’t be back.

I will start to say that the Ham and Cheese sub was pretty good.
My experience, however, was not. I was in the area and was looking for something quick to pick up that wasn’t normal fast food (like McDonalds). I found Bernie’s on google maps and I saw they did call ahead to pick up. When I called, the woman on the phone was unpleasant. I had a couple questions since I had never been before, and she came across as if I was a burden or taking up her time, answering very curtly with a tone.
I arrived 15 or so minutes later and when I walked up to the door, I saw the note that said, “Cash Only, 7-11 Has an ATM.” That would have been nice to know ahead of time, but I went over to 7-11 to withdraw the cash anyway. The ATM inside was actually out of cash, so I had to make 2 separate purchases at the counter to get cash back (max was $10 per transaction and I knew my sub was more than that). I head back to Bernie’s and walked up to the register. I assume it was the same woman on the phone as before based on her tone. I asked her if the chips were in the bag, she said yes, and then I asked about napkins and she pointed to the side table. It really did seem like I was interrupting her day.
When I got back to my car I looked and there was not a bag of chips in the bag. I was so frustrated with the whole thing that I did not feel like going back inside, I’d rather just go home.
Like I said, the sub was pretty good, which would tempt me to return, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. As a customer, I felt like an annoyance.

The worst sandwich I’ve had in Richmond. Give it a pass. Disgraceful for a “sandwich” shop.

My first time here, and the food was really nice and spiced well. Not bland at all. A bit noisy but any good sub shop usually is. Lots of traffic from both in house dining and to go orders. I would go back again.
