  • Prime rib lovers, it's time to open wide. Really, really wide. You've never seen a side of slow-roasted, juicy, tender, beef, like the one they serve up in insane proportions at Bernie's Dining Depot in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

    It's in a small town called Chicopee.
    You eat in the train car and their "small" kaboose cut of prime rib is bigger than anybody else's.

    This is the one restaurant I go back to time and time again. Fortunately I attend a lot of events at the Big E fairgrounds so that gives me an excuse to go to Bernie's. While their prime rib is the best I have ever had, non-meat folks will be just as pleased with the seafood offerings. Huge portions, all cooked to perfection. I don't know how Bernie's does it. I've been there many times, and the food is always consistent, always perfect. And that's not easy to do with prime rib.
    Prices are more than fair. The other day at lunch, I got a Yankee Pot Roast for only $7.95. The meat loaf was $6.95. The prime rib is the star of the show, but everything is excellent. I would drive here, (2 hours from home), even if I didn't have any other reason to be out that way. I've always gotten good service too!

    They stopped serving the signature Prime Rib. Why? The price was too high. You CAN'T get rid of your signature item. Closed now 😐, gone

    Been there many times. Its not 5 stars, but the food is very good, portions HUGE and the prices very reasonable.
    I love eating in the train car. Very nostalgic.
    In case you're wondering: yes, I've ordered the conductor's cut a couple of times. Came close to finishing it both times (waitress was VERY impressed- I'm not a big guy - lol).
    Funny thing about eating 3 pounds of meat: It loses its enjoyment after the second pound. That last pound and a half, you're just forcing it down the hatch... and then comes the desert. Lol

    I love bernies! I dont live that far from Bernies so I used to go there a lot with my family growing up. I used to think the restaurant itself was super cool but the food was amazing too. 😊
