Stopped here for lunch upon reaching the Outer Banks for our week in South Nags Head. Very good soft shell crab sandwich and a couple Shocktop Drafts - very nice waitress as well!

We went there in the past but didn't find it very good. I read the reviews and saw it got good ones so decided to try it again. They were able to accommodate 8 of us fairly quickly(20 minutes or so). I had a whole lotta colada and it was yummy.

I had the crab cake sandwich which was pretty good. My daughter had the aloha chicken which she said she liked. I didn't pay attention to what everyone else got. Haha. It was a happening place ! I also found it somewhat reasonably priced.

We definitely would go there again.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. I tried the fish tacos and they were awesome. We really liked the fresh bread and pesto sauce they brought out while waiting for food.

Been eating as BB's for over 5 years and have NEVER had a bad meal there. Wife loves all of the pasta dishes she's had there. I'm partial to their seafood dishes. Seafood gumbo is my favorite. I almost for got to mention.... the service and appetizers rock!

Had to try this place finding out it was more of a Steeler Bar! Fell in love with the food! Try the Loaded Cheesy Chips. My family and I actually fought over who gets the last chip! The steamed clams were wonderful! We have had everything from burgers to Chicken Jambalaya Pasta - Never had a bad meal!

Barefoot Bernie's is one of our regular stops every year on vacation. The food is good and prices reasonable. Restaurant is clean and atmosphere is great, especially if you're a Steelers fan.

Our friends recommended Barefoot Bernie's to us on our first visit to OBX. It was the best restaurant we have found here. Food is good, service is friendly and the atmosphere is fun. We always cap our vist to the OBX with a family meal here. It is always a highlight of our vacation. There are many tourist traps to get sucked into on the OBX, but Bernie's is definitely not one of them.

Went earlier enough to have dinner before the Steeler game. Dinner was tasty & the bar was wild for the game! Recommend it.

Went here for a girls night out dinner. The food was delicious! I had a pecan crusted flounder. So good! Everyone raved about their meals. Can't wait to go back.

Rating: A Dissapointing Evening at Bernies 7/3/2010
Reviewer: David McDonald

My wife's Grouper in a bag was only half cooked and had to be sent back - she had to settle for an appetizer instead. We thought that the manager would comp that but they didn't. Also we sent a cocktail back because it had a hair in it. The waitress was iffy.

We had a group of 11 and nobody thought that their meal was above mediocre. I had the special which was grouper and scallops with a risotto and asparagus. There was way too much butter on everything and the fish was overdone. Our waitress didn't know what the special was so before we ordered I had to walk up to the front of the restaurant to read the specials.

Overall there was nothing about Bernies that will make me ever want to go there again.

The title says it all; additionally, there is a good variety of choices on the menu. I've tried several things and have been pleased with all of them.

Reviewer: Blue Water

The food was really good and the service was terriffic once we got to the table. The only downside is that the restaurant is pretty small, so you might have a fairly long wait.

4 of us had dinner and we all loved out meals! Excellent food and a very good (attentive but not overly) waitress. Would definitely recommend Barefoot Bernies!

Reviewer: Michael and Tina

We found Barefoot Bernie's a few years ago when the restaurant we arrived at another restaurant only to find it had gone out of business. In a hurry, we had to decide where to go. We had driver past Barefoot Bernie's and decided to give it a try, and we are so glad we did. Good food, generous portions and reasonable prices. Barefoot Bernie's is on our "must do" list every year!

Barefoot Bernies never disappoints! Great menu includes sever international dishes (including my favorite, cuban steak) and any salad that you could imagine. Great service!

My friends and I stopped on a Sunday afternoon to watch a little football while we were waiting for our Sunday check-in. I had one of their gourmet pizzas and it was delicious. Bacon, cheddar cheeseburger pizza...I recommend highly. We didn't go back for the Steeler game that night but I hear it is one of the best places on the Banks to watch the Steeler game.

Myself & 9 family members visited Barefoot Bernie's last year. I had the conch fritters & my sister had the coconut shrimp. It was definitely a fun place for the whole family. The food has a fun flare, so be open to it!

We live in KDH and eat frequently at Bernie's. The portions are large for the price and the ingredients are fresh. I like the big salads. You'll notice a lot of locals at the bar, eating dinner. You know the food must be decent and the prices good if the locals frequent it.

We have a house near BB's, so we go often. Nice, friendly service and very good food..especially for the price. Love the big salads! Great for kids.

Reviewer: Mary Ann

Ate there in June 2006. This was the best meal we had during our stay. My mouth started to water when the server brought out a loaf of freshly baked bread and olive oil/herbs to dip it in. I had steak, my daughter had crablegs. Both were delicious. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.
