Reminds me of a 50s diner . The food tastes amazing, I always get the fried cheese . The place is cheap and is well worth the wait...if there is any. I could eat here everyday if I won the lotto.

Come here for perfect classic American food . Cheese on the grill, tender simple burger , creamy fresh-dairy shake that can't be beat, crispy rings and fries . Plus cute sweet waitresses . :) The best.

Had the cheeseburger with fried cheese , interesting to have, but once is enough. The cod platter was much better. The ice cream was great. Nice place, will go to again when in the area.

Very nice 50's ambience, decor. Great burgers , and cheeseburgers with a twist. You will notice! Also don't go away without ice cream or a shake !

The food here hits the spot. The cheeseburger is as advertised, very good, and is best eaten with all the fried cheese folded under the bun .

Connecticut staple! fold the fried cheese onto the burger and you won't be disappointed. finish off with some of their homemade ice cream

The Bernice original is a must-order. The cheeseburger comes with four slices of American cheese in one of the most unique displays of a burger you'll see. Their shakes & ice cream rock too. Get 'em.

Check out their James Beard Award they received located at the front. This is the equivalent to an Oscar in the restaurant biz. Congrats Shady Glen!

Have the cheese burger its fun. Coleslaw good french fries are old timey and nice. Soda not like from a can.

Esquire: They do this thing where the cheese on the cheeseburgers curls up into crispy corners. And homemade ice cream sundaes .

The Bernice and the Breakfast is frugal friendly and tasty!

If you don't want a burger , you can still order a side of the legendary fried cheese for $1.90!  (Edit: Well , it was $1.90 on November 26, 2011. Up to $2.30 in May 2013. Still worth it!)

You only get 4 fried cheese as a side with your platter. Still enough to share with someone. Love that you can choose the flavors in your banana split .

They are not messing around with these cheeseburgers - absolutely unreal with the crispy-chewy slices enveloping the patty. Also the best onion rings I've ever had. Great shakes/sundaes, too!

Pumpkin ice cream ...yum! Peppermint ice cream is the best. Grilled ham and cheese not so great. Bowl of soup is huge! Chef salad is the best!

You have to have a hotdog with the cheese frizzled around it... Makes you feel like a little kid again.

Ice cream ! Need I say more? I will, though. The cheese is amazing, too.

Get the cheeseburger . It comes with deep fried cheese .

Bring cash. They don't do credit cards. The ice cream is amazing.

I've been going here for 60 years...The cheese is heavenly! :-)

The cheeseburgers are not as good as the hype. The way the cheese is cooked and presented is certainly unique, but the burgers are thin and plain.

The cheese is really the secret to their burgers . Highly recommended.

The legend of the fried cheese cheeseburgers is legit, all right. Off the menu : crispy cheese sandwich .

Crunchy cheese on the burgers (or as a side) is a must-have when you visit.

Kinda cool the 50's theme soda shop but:The food was very ehh. Standard precut fries , standard burger , standard cheese ( Except the way they cook it on the griddle.) Lunch for 2? $34.00. NOT worth it.

You must try the cheeseburger and side of cheese !

Don't order burgers or fries . The cheese is good bit the burgers are not fresh and taste like freezer burn. The ice cream and shakes are good though.. Get dinner somewhere else and go here for desert .

The fried cheese

Cheeseburger !!!

Cheeseburgers

The only thing good is breakfest. Even that is just average. The burgers are ok only thing special is the cheese . Got a salad and had a cup of water in the bowl. very expensive for what you get.

Try the burgers but definitely leave room for some ice cream after!
