" If you want the best water ice, look no further. Bernie's offers a wide variety of flavors, all made with fresh ingredients. I personally love their watermelon and chocolate flavor—an unexpected combo but oh so good! The service is fantastic, every time I go the staff treats you like family. I especially enjoy stopping by on warm evenings when the place is buzzing. Just a great experience all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always make it a point to stop by Bernie's whenever I visit Wilmington! The water ice is always fresh, and the flavors are divine! On my last visit, I tried the mango flavor and it was so refreshing. I also had a slice of pizza, which, while decent, is not the star of the show—definitely the water ice takes the crown here. The staff is friendly and the place is usually bustling with energy. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just love coming to Bernie's! It's always a great experience—the bubblegum water ice is a must-try and the pizza is tasty too, not too greasy which is a plus. The staff here knows how to keep things moving and are always pleasant. It's such a vibrant place filled with happy customers. Definitely a summer staple! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week I visited Bernie's for the first time! A friend of mine recommended it, and I was not disappointed. The water ice is the best I've ever tasted! I had the mango flavor, and it was just perfect. The pizza was okay, not the focus of my visit but still a good option. The service was quick and friendly, which made the experience enjoyable overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Bernie's during my visit last week. The water ice was so refreshing, perfect for a hot day, and worth the wait! I really enjoyed the cherry flavor, but their menu is extensive so I'll definitely try more next time. The pizza was decent, though I wouldn't come here specifically for it. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience here! The water ice is beyond fresh! I tried the new flavor, passion fruit, and it was an instant favorite. I also ordered the pizza and I must say it was a solid choice too, great crust. The ambiance of the place really adds to the experience; it's a cozy spot where everyone seems to be enjoying their food. Staff was quick and accommodating. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really great experience here! The line was long but that just shows how popular Bernie's is. I got a combo of the lemon and cherry water ice and it was delicious! The flavors were balanced and the texture was perfect. I also tried the double slice pizza which was surprisingly good! It's not gourmet, but it's definitely comforting. The staff was nice and patient despite the rush. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
