Berties Luncheonette

Best Chicken Fingers in town! Service was great and the prices are very reasonable!

Food and service were mediocre. Food took too long to be served. Other patrons at tables right next to us were asked of they needed their coffee refilled but I had to ask. I could’ve made a comparable omelet at home. Overpriced for the portion received.

Had a great small fresh hamburger and homemade chips here. Not a fancy place but good for lunch.

Had breakfast there, Service was ok… slow to refill our coffee once. My breakfast burrito was good, wife’s gravy tasted odd not good. The biggest dislike is the prices on the menu and the bill was different, not A big deal deal but dishonest. will not be back!

The food was very good… service was great… full of locals… we will be back!

I’ve been a local for 20+ years and this place has been a wreck ever since the change in ownership about a year ago. The employees are very unfriendly and couldn’t care less whether or not you’re satisfied as a customer. Do NOT waste your time and money at this establishment. There are dozens of other family owned restaurants in the Daytona area that actually care about their customers.

They are open for dinner now! Usually grab a breakfast sandwich. Tonight I had the Reuben and grabbed meatloaf dinner special for later. Check this place out!

Loved the food, but my husband ate a bite of raw chicken there (defrosted frozen chicken nuggets not cooked all the way through) and was extremely sick for several days.

Very poor service… Our breakfast was pretty cold… Very old décor and in my opinion dirty… I’m not going back… Sorry

Very good breakfast. Seems to attract older locals. A little hard to find, tucked away in back corner to the right of Public shopping center next to the pet shop. I would come here again.

Food is good, price is fair and service is friendly. I ordered spinach, mushroom and cheese omelet and side of bacon… .I appreciate it was served bland (not a salt fan) & the bacon was crisp

Geat place for breakfast. We ordered biscuts & gravy and croissant cristo. To say it was good would be an understatement. It was one of the best b & g my wife has had in a long time, not salty at all. My cc was really good and filling. Definitely we’ll be back.

If u like quiet, this is your place! If u love geriatrics, go eat at bertie’s! It Is a small little place in publix shopping center. The staff is a 5-​star exceptionally friendly and at your service! (the old ladies look like they’ve been working there for 40 years!) they aren’t very flexible about substitutions. I am gluten free but they wouldn’t sub my toast for anything else. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfect! Bacon is served crispy, coffe isn’t the best. In the empty booth next to us, a woman in her late 80’s sits down and her booth was wobbly so she’s rocking it back and forth with her body and says «oh my, this bench moves! I’m moving! I don’t want to end up on the ground!» then proceeds to move one table over. If u love old people, it was really cute. Another old lady was celebrating her birthday there. For $ 11.99 + tip, we got a bunch of simple, home cooked food that was served with a smile! I see now why the locals come here, it’s like being at home! I would go back.

Poor service, as well as portions for birds. Cream sitting out on table for how long no one knows. Biscuit and gravy disgusting and taste like plastic. Asked for hot sauce and they bring Frank’s red hot wing sauce really! Not a very good place of your hungry. Carpet is gross, food on the walls.

The secret is the Cristo Croissant. The turkey was thick sliced and fresh, accompanied by a generous slice of slice of Swiss. The croissant was flaky and tasty. Very good! Unfortunately, the omelette portion was that in which you leave hungry. The biscuits and gravy were mediocre. The ambiance is that of what you’d expect from a small mom and pop brunch place. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

There’s nothing better than waking up hungover after a long night of drinking than going to Bertie’s. It is the best remedy for any kind of morning and the place will immediately lift your spirits. It seems like the same people are here every day reading the newspaper and conversing with the waitresses. If you come often enough, the waitresses will get to know your usual meal. And Bertie is the nicest lady behind the old time cash register, still going strong btw.
My recommendations are: breakfast burrito, any omelette, the pancakes are huge, cinnamon toast, and getting a side of hash browns is a must.
Breakfast is pretty cheap and comes out quickly. Best brunch in town, hands down.

Based on our pre-​trip food reconnaissance, Bertie’s was initially high on our list of breakfast spots thanks to the positive reviews and popularity with locals. Unfortunately, Bertie’s, while good, did not live up to expectations (particularly since we went to Peach Valley Café earlier in the week).
Location-​wise, Bertie’s is easy to find, sharing a convenient strip mall location next to a major landmark (Publix grocery) with plenty of parking. Given that we came late morning mid-​week (10a on Friday), we were seated right away in a booth near the back of the restaurant and received service promptly. The patrons consisted of mostly Octogenarians, with a few 20-​somethings sprinkled in. Artwork on the walls consisted of photos of Bertie’s over the years, dripping of nostalgia.
The menu was as we expected, fairly simple diner-​style breakfast food with options including breakfast sandwiches, a few omelettes, and stand-by’s like biscuits & gravy. They have a lunch menu along the same lines of style and variety.
Looking for something with some flare, I ordered the Corned Beef Omelette with caramelized onions and Swiss cheese, a side of hash browns, and coffee. The coffee was very good — strong and flavorful. Regarding my food, I was pretty disappointed. I can only assume that the waitress misheard my order, because instead of hash browns, I received hash blacks; way overcooked and, well, burnt. When the menu claimed that the onions would be caramelized, I expected such — instead, diced onions were seemingly thrown into the omelette midway through cooking and were barely softened, let alone caramelized. The corned beef was good, but there was either (a) way too much of it or (b) not enough eggs, as the omelette barely held together — and did so mostly with the help of cheese. In my opinion, it would have been much better to add more egg, and possibly add a fluffing agent (e.g. pancake batter) to make the eggs more prominent. My meal also came with two pieces of toast which were also overcooked, but not to the extent of the potatoes.
My wife ordered the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Sandwich, a side of hash browns, and a large chocolate milk. Her sandwich was very good; the croissant was a great combination of light, buttery, and flaky, the ham was grilled, and the cheese provided a welcome creaminess to the sandwich. Her hash browns were also well overcooked, but not to the extent of mine; they were at least still a dark shade of brown, but she commented that they tasted burnt.
Wanting to sample more of the menu, we also split a half order of biscuits and gravy. For some reason, it did not come out with the rest of our food (the waitress said «it looked funny» and she had the cook remake it) and instead trailed behind by 10 mins. No huge deal since it was not our main order. Once they arrived, they were very good (surprisingly so after my experience above); the gravy was thick and creamy; LOTS of butter and cream used in the roux. The sausage had a good flavor of sage with complimentary red pepper flakes in the gravy. Good, but VERY heavy. Probably too heavy to be a stand-​alone entrée, but that’s just my opinion.
My daughter had her stand-​by order of scrambled eggs and pancakes. The eggs were nothing special, but her pancake was enough to make me jealous. It was golden brown and very dense; a hearty meal. The batter had a surprisingly piquant flavor without syrup; our best guess was that the batter had cinnamon or nutmeg (or both) in it. Good stuff.
All in all, Bertie’s was OK, but could have been much, much better. Simple diner food for a reasonable price (our bill was under $ 40 with tip) with a «grandmother’s house» feel, but nothing was good enough to bring us back for another visit. When in town again, we’ll likely go back to Peach Valley Café if we go anywhere for breakfast.

It has been a while since my last review of Bertie’s, so I feel obligated to update my review. My wife and I enjoy exceptional dinners at Bertie’s 2 – 3 times each month. We often bring friends or family to share our special restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing special about the location (Bertie’s is a diner by day), but t doesn’t matter whether it’s gourmet burger night, prime rib night, New Year’s Eve, or Valentine’s Day the food is always exceptional.

Great place to stop and eat I love good home-​cooked diner food. You will too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic breakfast! Great price! Sweet and attentive staff!
Sausage gravy was delicious with just a slight kick. I got the single biscuit helping so I could order more. Waitress recommended the link sausage. I’m more of a bacon boy, but opted to go with her recommendation. Each bite exploded in my mouth with delectable, fatty deliciousness!!!
I finished off my breakfast with hash browns, crispy please. They were delivered to the table as requested. Nothing extraordinary, but I do love crispy hash browns.
We almost left when we arrived because of the big No Credit Cards sign. We weren’t going to leave for hood, just long enough to get some cash. They stopped us, explaining when the chef is in he’s able to submit a charge on his phone. This he did very graciously.
Bertie’s will become a breakfast mainstay when in Daytona.
