Herm's Palace

Came back for more Italian beefs, still some of the best id ever have. Service was just as friendly as it was last time. Amazing place and food.

Came here to try the onion rings and loved the grilled jumbo dogs. I just had the fresh onions which were really nice and sweet. Loved the crisp skin and moist beefy meat. The onion rings were crispy as well. Tasty whole onion. I will definitely return. They have a large menu. The staff are super friendly. Place is really busy even at 1:30 no waiting though. Service is great.

My husband is a very loyal patron and put me onto Herm's. He usually orders the fried salami sandwich. My go-to is usually a chili dog, pizza puff, and fries. My kids like the tamales. This is a very family-friendly joint, and the two brothers that run it will make you feel like one of their family. It's casual and clean inside and just a great local Skokie restaurant. We eat here at least once a month!

What an absolute gem! The staff was incredibly friendly. And unexpected innovation on the menu board! Had a polish *with* pastrami, which is basically a perfect pairing with mustard that never occurred to me before. Friends had hot dogs they loved, and we all shared perfectly cooked skinny fries. Cannot wait to come back and enjoy the sun on the patio once more.

Very fun busy place ! I came across it after we were trying to go to a place across the street that said it was open that was not. It was quite delicious . I had the corn beef sandwich with pickles. My daughter had a club sandwich . They offered combos with fries and coleslaw but I wasn't that hungry We had bottles of water . There were many choices on the menu . I would drive there again to try something else. We do live almost 50 minutes away . Good job You pay on your way out of you dine in .

My husband is a very loyal customer - loves their gyros with everything. I think their Greek salad is fabulous. Very fresh ingredients, and generous amounts of them... great olives, a briny feta cheese that's the real deal, tomatoes, romaine, red onions, cucumber and pickled yellow peppers + two sides of Greek vinaigrette. Plus, it's very clean and the owners are super nice.

With so many similar places in the area; Dengeo's, Poochie's, Hub's, etc...Herm's would be a matter of personal preference and it's one that I've known about since high school. They have a large parking lot and ample menu board with all the usual fast food fare; burgers, hot dogs, salads, misc sandwiches and dinners,; lots to choose from and something for everyone, made to order. Having been in business so long, the owner can calculate your total in his head. They have several tables if you choose to dine in and fast carry out. I love their popcorn shrimp; it's only $10 for an ample serving and the shrimp are larger than popcorn. Give them a try.

Great quick service spot! Wonderful service and tasty food! One of the few spots that actually has a good turkey burger.

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.

I first heard about Herm's back in 2016 and ever since then, I've only ordered one thing every time I get food from here and it's the chopped steak sandwich. Seasoned chopped steak on garlic-spread bread with lettuce, cheese and tomato. The flavor is consistent every time I've ordered it and it's just made with tons of love. The best sandwich here, ever. I'll be ordering here for many years to come as long as they have this on the menu.
