Herminie Diner

The Herminie Diner turned out to be the perfect backdrop for a father-daughter breakfast that I didn't know I needed--but my 12 1/2-year-old daughter somehow did. These days, our quality time mostly consists of me asking her to put her phone down and her pretending not to hear me, so when she suggested breakfast on a Saturday morning, I threw myself into action like a guy late to a mid-life crisis yoga class.We landed at this charming little cash-only joint where the coffee flows freely, and the smiles are served as generously as the portions. I ordered the everything bagel sandwich loaded with sausage, egg, and cheese, which was so good I almost forgot I was still half-asleep. My daughter, meanwhile, ordered a pancake the size of a medium pizza, topped with strawberries and whipped cream. It was a sugary behemoth, a kind of breakfast Mount Everest that she nearly conquered in one sitting--an impressive feat given she had to dose for it like a breakfast chemist managing her type 1 diabetes. Watching her tackle that pancake made me prouder than I ever thought a flapjack could.The staff? Fantastic. The kind of cheery and attentive people who make you feel like they've been waiting their whole lives just to serve you breakfast. It's a rare skill these days. And let's talk about the price--it was shockingly reasonable. Compared to some other local breakfast spots where you have to take out a loan for bacon and eggs, Herminie Diner feels like an oasis of sanity. Just remember, they're cash-only, so unless you plan to barter pancakes for payment, come equipped with some greenbacks.Final verdict: The food was fantastic, the company even better, and if my daughter keeps choosing pancakes over Social Media, I'll be back every Saturday morning with bells on (and maybe a bigger wallet, just in case that pancake gets upgraded to "large pizza" size).

After a quick detour we stumbled upon this gem of a diner. The family owner diner took me by surprise, as I set my expectations to a greasy spoon and boy was I wrong. I was first blown away by our wonderful waitress Penny, just an amazing woman full of cheer and a smile to spark your day! Our food arrived within minutes after ordering and piping hot freshly grilled potatoes, beautifully prepared Hollandaise sauce and poached perfection. The chef and owner Jerry is always available to his fan club (all the patrons) as he greats his regulars and the newbies. Great diner, great food and great people....We even returned the next day to validate our experience by bringing more people and again awesome!! Thanks to Athena our waitress!!B

This place is a gem in the Herminie area. The food is excellent and so is the service. The portions are large and everything is freshley made, as they should be in a rural type diner.I had two eggs over easy because I wanted to keep it light, but the homefries and large wheat bread had me stuffed. My wife had the veggie omlette, daughter had belgium waffles, and step son had bagel breakfast sandwich. All were very good. The pictures with this review do not lie!I live in the area and first went here when we moved here three years ago. We don't eat breakfast out much, so we don't frequent this place often. That is the only reason! If you are in the area, I would highly recommend the Herminie Diner. You won't be disappointed.

I think i might have found one of the best diners i have ever been too...the pancake was perfect and as trump would say yuge.., seriously this was the size of a pizza!!! It was perfect had crisp edges, quality batter, it was just epically delicious, the omlette was fantastic, and the bacon was thick and cooked perfectly, the home fries were delish...i had great service and great food i have no negatives about the place, cute decor and a very nice owner(think it was the owner)... please note cash only but atm on site...100 percent the best diner outside the city and one of the best i ever been to!!! Bravo bravo

Best breakfast in town. My daughter first took me here, been going ever since. Friendly hometown service. Pancakes are as big as a tire. Get the French Toast.

They get busy, so get here early and BRING CASH. They have an ATM.You will Not leave hungry. They have weekly specials posted on Facebook. Never a bad meal or service after at least 20 visits. It's in an old hardware store with charter. The owners will check on you and make sure your happy!

It pains me to write this bc this used to be my most favorite place to go bc their food is amazing. I recently as stomach surgery and can't eat but a few bites and explained this bc my wife and I just wanted to share a gyro platter. They were going to charge me $4 to share. I can see 2 bucks maybe but 4 is way off and I couldn't give a crap if these ppl have to close tomorrow. Thieves in my mind. Of my 50 or so reviews I've given maybe 2 one stars but these thieves earned it. Getting back to the story I then had to order 4 dollar soup to avoid the charge which it was good but I literally ate 3 bites. As I was thinking about it I was more mad about it and here I am. Thieves

Delicious. I had the French toast. Big slices of light and fluffy goodness. My company had western omelets with sides of sausage. One had the sweet sausage and the other person had hot sausage (served on the weekend). Both cooked perfectly. We also had the hash browns. Seasoned just right, not too salty but with lots of flavor! We'll done. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Missed breakfast but I am anxious to go back.This little diner like place is exactly the kind of place I love to find.The food was delicious and plentiful , the menu was unique, and Dolly is gem.

Food is great people are great and you get huge helpings of food!You ever try their food you would be addicted excellent cook there
