Can’t say enough about Herm’s. It’s been a family favorite for over 22 years. When our kids come home from college, we have to make a trip to Herm’s. Love the food, the place, but especially the family that run it. Great people thru and thru!

Good greasy grub. Grab great goodies, gorge/graze until guilty. Gah I give up, tried to go for a review that only had words starting with«g». This place is a staple, and although I only live a few blocks away I really only started coming within the last few years. They have all the classic foods you’d expect from a hamburger/hot dog place along with a few extras to take them to the next level(Grilled cheese hamburger). The food is definitely greasy, they do have salads but I have never seen anyone order one before, and the prices are reasonable. It is definitely a little confusing/intimidating when ordering, but once you get used to it the food is totally worth it!

This is the first restaurant we tried when first visited Skokie. It has become one of our local favorites and we take our family/friends here when they visit. The grilled cheese burger is fantastic(make sure you are hungry!). My wife loves the tilapia caesar pita. Also, we usually split an order of pepper puffs. The guys who own/run this place are phenomenal! They really know how to treat their customers. The restaurant has a really cool Chicago vibe too. Highly recommend it!

Visiting Chicago for the weekend and the guys at Herm’s took great care of us. Everything was super fresh and delicious. This was the first time that I tried a Chicago dog and it was amazing! We also tried the chopped beef ribeye sandwich with fries and the Italian salad. We are going to have to definitely stop back in the next time we are in town!

Great little neighborhood eating spot, for lunch and dinner, kinda like some of the little food digs in Chicago. The gyros, chili fries, burgers, and Italian beef sandwiches are great! And the menu is loaded with a ton of other things. I come here often for lunch with coworker’s, or Friday night after movie meals, with my family. The staff is polite and fast. There are flat screen Tv’s to watch sports on, a mini arcade area, and restrooms. There’s is also plenty of seating and parking.

My family from Chicago suggested this place because they know I love my Greek style food. I came here and had a very good conversation with the owner. Opened for 40 years which is just amazing knowing how hard it is to open places like this. I tried a couple of things and that we’re all amazing. The service is fast and the arcade section of the place is just nice knowing how old they have been opened. They have so many choices to choose from. This place reminded me of home. Can’t wait to come back in town to try this place again. I suggest this over all those other bad Greek places.

Used to take Long Lunch breaks from Martin Luther King Elementary School 2 blocks away, on the regular, and walk over here and grind. One time they caught me or wanted to teach me a lesson. They gave me a pop math test with geometry n calculus. That was a big mistake on thy part, perfect score n then I just hung out in the work shop n showed up for math test days. I made myself wooden dj crates. I always had a double dog Chicago classic n Chedder fries.

This family owned business is one of my most favorite places to eat with my boys. We have been coming here for years and it never ceases to amaze how they can calculate your bill so fast without he help of a registered for calculator! Scott and Craig are great! The variety of food is killer! Great place for take out or dine in!

That T bone steak sandwich with a side of cheese Kurds is the best in the business. Everything we try always hits the spot. Freshly made. Fresh tasting. Glad I live just a few short minutes away.

This place is fantastic. Very comfortable. They always have«the game» on. Food is hot, fresh and delish! Some of their new offerings are amazing, too.

Plain chicken sandwich with tomato and lettuce and a bit of mayo. Was the best thing I’ve had in a while. Nice little multicolored packet of fries on the side. Order at the counter and they bring food to you. I bussed my own table(picked up some spilled lettuce) and got a mild scolding! The guys really take care of you here. Gave me customer copy of the receipt and wouldn’t let me leave a tip – is that right? I feel indebted to this place. Probably means I have to keep eating here to make up the difference

Skeptical at first. The guys up front are super friendly. The environmental is like mid 90s local hot dog joint with arcades and TVs [not a first date spot]. You order food then sit down, then they bring the food to you. It’s a bit confusing at first but still very cool. I ordered the Grilled Cheese Burger, the Grilled Jumbo Hot Dog, and Cheese Fries. 5 Stars for The Hot Dog, 3 Stars on The Burger. After 3 bites, the unseasoned burger becomes dull. It lacks flavor and it’s $ 9.85. The cheese fries are standard. Overall, great service but this place has a hit or miss menu. It definitely deserves a revisit though.

A very casual diner with very solid diner fair. A wide selection including all the Chicagoland basics from Italian Beefs, to sausages, gyros, Reuben’s & hot pastramis. The large selection can be daunting to the indecisive but it’s inexpensive enough where you can try several things without worry. There’s a lot of seating and a few arcade games in back to make it a popular place for families but also still enjoyable for the general public. Nothing fancy here, but it’s true no frills diner fair done right.

Went to this place by mistake and I will say it was the best mistake I ever made. I was watching tv and seen a fried hotdog and I wished I could get 1and poof like a miracle walking into this place I seen it on the menu ! I ordered the hotdog with pastrami along with Mac & Cheese puffs(outstanding). Friendly staff and great food so good I went back twice in the same day. Herms Place is a must if you are in the Skokie area.

Our favorite next door hamburger place. Very welcoming atmosphere and the guys are always friendly. If you want a relaxed hang out spot with great food, or if you wanna go out and watch sports with your buddies, I’d definitely recommend this place. Great food, great service. What else can I say?

Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger! This was good and big. Great grilled cheese sandwiches wrapped around a burger patty. It was juicy and full of flavor. The fries were good. They are the skinny type. The meal also came with coleslaw. This was one of the best coleslaw’s I’ve ever had. The place was clean and had a lot of tables. They also have a few video games. The people were really nice. They brought the food right to the table. They do have bicycle parking in front, be it one of those old tire bender racks, but it was nice to see the effort. I will return again!

For the indulgent foodie or the junk food addict, this is the place. Since I have lived in the city some 30 years ago until now, the food is the same and service is super friendly. They have added a few new items to their menu like the Grilled cheese Burger which is so decadent! I stick to the old regular cheeseburger, fried mushrooms and cheesy fries and it’s already so filling, I can’t imagine getting through a ½ pound burger with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches! The grandkids enjoy the few arcade games they have in the restaurant and my husband enjoys the multitude of televisions they have in the joint. Check out the menu, it’s sure to please.

If I see something crazy on a menu, I have to get it. It’s an addiction, a calling, it’s just something I must always do. So when I saw a grilled cheese burger on the menu, my tiny mouth be damned, that baby was going right in it. I lived in Skokie for a few years and my boyfriend at the time would pick us up food from Herm’s every now & then. I remembered liking it but wasn’t sure to what extent. When I recently went in, it made me remember why I missed living in Skokie so much — so many independent food places like this run by good people with good food. On my latest visit I had the monstrosity of insanity that is the Grilled Cheese burger for $ 9.60(that includes fries & coleslaw). This burger does not have buns on the outside, oh no no! It has two buttery ooey gooey grilled cheeses with a half pound burger snuggled between them. I took one bite and it was like the pearly gates opened up and let down a drawbridge letting me in. Such an indulgent meal is not an every day type of dinner, but I enjoyed it greatly as a special treat. It’s just like three sandwiches in one so it probably won’t surprise you to know that I couldn’t finish it all — it made a couple of meals for me. Herm’s Palace is full of overindulgent items that I could ramble on about all day. Or if you are on some kind of lame-o diet-o, they got you covered with salads-o. Service is friendly and they treat everyone like a long lost family member. Inside the shop are a few arcade games but the coolest part of the casual eating establishment is the artwork on the wall. It’s this crazy mural that includes the owners and a bunch of random Chicago celebrities. My friend and I had a fun time going through and identifying who was who and mad props to any place with Chicago pride because it’s deep in my heart, too. Chi Town baby! Bonus: They have beer!

Y’all know I love a hotdog, and Herm’s is TOPS. I am so excited to add it to our regular hotdog dinner rotation. Just a few standouts: MILKSHAKES. the smalls are enormous. Split yours with a child, perhaps. HOTDOGS. they are cut spiral? and kinda crunchy? and fat but not overwhelming, with perfectly steamed buns. nice sized pickle. FRIES. well, fries are just normal, but you can get them with merkts cheddar, which takes them to amazing. SALADS. yes I had a salad at a hotdog stand bc I am a sucker for a good greek salad, and this one did not disappoint. If you love giant chunks of feta and tons of kalamata olives, this is the salad for you. ICECREAMCASE. there are frozen bananas. and choco tacos. and king cones. A king cone and a hot dog, plus a(pepsi, ugh, but they do have dr. pepper) drink from the fountain or a coke(yay!) or cel-ray(i love any shop that sells cel-ray) from the cold drink case and I’m a happy place. The décor is standard hotdog shop, but with plenty of tables and an awesome mural. Plus, there are a few arcade games if you are a slow eater and need something to entertain your 7 year old so you can finish your salad in peace. And the staff is probably the friendliest ever. Herm’s, I’m so glad to know you, and I’m excited to have a long relationship together.
