What People Are Saying About Herm's Hot Dog Palace

In Short – This dog and burger house is so casual, the order-taker adds up totals in his head, then blurts them out for the cashier to ring up. Many come here for the half-pound cheeseburger special (served on dark rye), but the skirt steak sandwich is hard to top. The steak is grilled to a slight char--but is incredibly tender--then served on a garlic-toasted roll. Other favorites include homemade chili, tasty tamales and tender Italian beef.

It may look different from the Palace of old,but this is a place that keeps them comming back for more.
Great food,even better owners, who take pride in everthing they do. No, I am not a family member,but
your treated like you are. I have be comming to this place since I was a kid, now my Grandkids come here
when they are in for a visit. Never once did they goof up an order,and thats some feat, they never have to write things down, you get exactly what you order. Hall of Fame, in a Hotdog World....
- Pros: You are in Fast Food heaven!
- Cons: I can only eat so much !

The Best in Dogs is the Best in Burgers
by skarulisap at Citysearch
While very unassuming from both the outside and in, Herm's can satisfy a hamburger craving like no other in Chicagoland. Known for their amazing dogs and brats, Herm's double-cheddar burger sets itself apart form the pack, by piling the char-burgers with quarter-sliced whole pickles, hot-peppers, mayo, mustard, ketchup, and a lot of other tasties typically considered too daring for the burger.
This isn't your gourmet burger. It's a real man's burger. Best complimented with a large order of chili-cheese fries and a large Dr. Pepper. Chow baby.
- Pros: delicious, old-school, daring
- Cons: slower, ambiance

Know Before You Go:
It's crowded here on weekend afternoons, but still pretty easy to get a table. Kids flock to the cramped corner that's packed with video games.
