"My friend and I were looking for a good breakfast spot before leaving the area, and this diner was the best find of the day! We love classic diner food, and this place delivered. I was driving a van with a trailer and a motorcycle—parking was doable, but just barely. A few more cars and I would've been out of luck. Inside, it’s a bit tight, especially when full (which it was), but totally worth it. The food was excellent, the service even better—both waitresses were friendly, attentive, and kept our coffee full. Big shoutout to the two ladies behind the counter working hard on the grill. We’re really glad we stopped in!"

"Rosemary was so sweet and attendant. We stopped in Herman’s Drive-in before our drive back to Brooklyn on a weekday late morning. Everyone was so friendly, service was fast and food was good! We ordered the make your own omelettes and they were made perfectly. Our server Rosemary was very helpful and genuinely kind. As an LGBTQ black couple, it was a great experience in CT."

"My family of 4 picked this place at random driving through the area and were delighted. It feels like a hometown place, with funny signs everywhere you look. The servers joked with us and my kiddos and we're very attentive. The food was delicious and fast. We would definitely go here again."

"Found Herman's through a Google Search while working in the area. It's the perfect homestyle diner with friendly staff and good food. Had the Cheeseburger plate with hand-cut fries, delicious! Diner staff very friendly and there were plenty of local's around to have a conversation with. Highly recommend!"

"It was an icy day and we didn't want to travel far so we gave this place a try. We were so happy we did. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff extremely friendly. We will definately be back."

"Herman's is the quintessential small town diner. A cozy dining area that seats less than 30, by my count. The counter, several 2-person tables, and I think there was a table at the far end that seats 4. I heard several people greeted by name. My burger and fries were excellent, the service fast and friendly, and the prices reasonable."

"Let me start by saying that the food itself was very good. We sat down at 11:10am, was able to order food at 11:15am. We received our food at 12:05pm. Almost an hour for breakfast. While it was busy, the place is very small and absolutely inexcusable for breakfast to take an hour. Regardless, the eggs were perfectly cooked, the toast was done just right but the hash browns were mush and very oily. Some people might like it that way but I felt they needed to be crispy. The bacon was perfectly cooked. Everything had a small bit of char on it which was the best part. Small Town atmosphere, you know what to expect walking in. You know what's being cooked because you can see it. Overall good experience."
