Lopez said that Bernie’s Café’s recently revamped food menu, including chicken quesadillas and chicken wrap sandwiches, which have caused them to become a hit based on the number of orders weekly.

Student senior criminal justice major Mariam Gendy said she eats at Bernie’s “at least two times a week.” Gendy said she orders quesadillas and steak and cheese subs. Gendy said the service is “fast when not many people are there and slower when it’s busier.” Also, Gendy said she would recommend Bernie’s to other people.

Student sophomore graphic and media design major Amira Holland said “I probably eat at Bernie’s 1-2 times a week.” Holland said “I literally only get the Philly cheese steak or the cheeseburger.” Holland said it depends on the amount of people ordering whether Bernie’s food serving time is fast or slow. Holland also said, “I would recommend Bernie’s to students, but if family is coming to see me I honestly wouldn’t.”  

Student senior health sciences major Blessing Alegbeleye said she eats at Bernie’s “every day.”
