"This place has amazing food and service. The drinks are amazing. Besides the sloppy Joe's, chicken bobs, saganaki. To be honest, I tried almost every article on the menu and I'm never disappointed. The fireplace is such a perk coming winter time. And the service is phenomenal. Everyone is so nice and it makes you really welcome. And their green beans should die."

This restaurant is a lively spot with a diverse menu, an impressive selection of wines, and a friendly staff. The calamari is outstanding, and the gyros appetizer makes for a great dish to share with friends.

Torn between 3 and 4 stars. We were here to celebrate my daughters. We had 11 guests a 715 reservation, but could not sit immediately, but other parties. We ordered several apps. Nachos was good. But the rest of the food was average. I will try again, other things and revise my review.

Great food, great employees, great place. My family loves this place. The manager Chris is the best. He is down to earth and cares about all his customers. The hostess Lilly is awesome and super friendly. Eating here a few days in a row is not unheard of because all the food is great. We will see you there!

"Not having visited in a while, we 'd forgotten just how great this joint was. Herman, the original owner, sold his business way back in 1974; since then, the Shane family has maintained the name, traditions, and legendary comfort food. The place is nothing fancy but the wide ranging menu extends far beyond standard hot dog burger gyros fare. Herm 's is celebrated for their decadent Cardiac Sandwich (pastrami, fried salami pepper jack cheese). Other options include a breaded veal sandwich, rigatoni, fish tacos, eggplant parmesan, pizza puffs, chicken gyros, etc., etc. There are salads and other vegetarian items, and they serve beer, too. Most sandwiches run under $10 (sides are extra), and menu items currently top out at $14.75. At least for now, Herm 's is a safe harbor from inflation. I decided to be brave and order a turkey club. I 've rarely seen this sandwich on other hot dog joints ' menus, but Herm 's version was a solid fresh tasting hit with generous amounts of thin sliced turkey and crispy bacon. My Missus said her chicken kabob plate was better than the versions served at many Mediterranean restaurants. But what made the experience extra special for us was the guy behind the counter who adeptly juggled order taking, serving, food prep, and running the whole show in general with an abundance of friendliness. Craig must have a photographic memory, as he somehow manages to get multiple orders and special requests exactly right without writing anything down. He makes an effort to get to know his customers, too. Watching him work and interact with his back room staff and clearly enjoying his work was a pure delight."
