"The restaurant is small and very quaint. They accommodated our party of 8 easily but I wouldn’t try for bigger. Perfect fit 2-4 size parties. The food was amazing. I had bourbon glazed salmon. The portions are big so you will probably go home with another meal. We all enjoyed our drinks as well. Definitely going back when we want a great meal downtown."

"Food was delicious, cooked well and nicely seasoned, but took over an hour after ordering to come out. They forgot about our appetizer, it came out quickly after flagging down the server who apologized it had "slipped through the cracks". Beer list on the wall was not updated, and the beer suggested as an alternative was also out. The tables are kind of jammed in there we sat by the door, it was cramped. Overall the food was good enough to overlook the small issues with service and food wait time."

"Hands down the best food I had all weekend while visiting Roanoke. The crab cakes and buffalo wings were incredible. I'm a Marylander so I can vouch for the Crab being Maryland crab. The wings were incredible I even got some to take to the hotel to eat later. the service was amazing as well which is saying a lot since it was only two people working the restaurant side. The bartender and server worked together to make sure everyone was taken care of beautifully. Thank you Bernards you set the bar very high for all of Roanoke restaurants."

"Went to Bernard’s for brunch on Saturday 01/17/26, it was excellent. Ordered the crab cakes Benedict. Some of the best crab cakes I have had. Perfect medium poach on the eggs. Very impressed. Burgers and hand cut fries looked good and we will try next time!"

"We tried this place on a whim and it was outstanding. The service was great, we were able to park right outside on the street, and the atmosphere was really cool. The food was very well prepared, really tasty and the portions were generous. It wasn't cheap, but it didn't break the bank either. The entrees and sandwiches were all around 20, which is good for dinner. The pear martini was delicious!"
