It was our first time at Herb and Ernie’s Diner, and we really enjoyed it! I’m super picky about cleanliness, and the place was immaculate, seriously one of the cleanest diners I’ve ever been in. I had the Jäger Schnitzel with red cabbage and cucumber salad, and everything was delicious. The schnitzel was cooked perfectly, the gravy was flavorful, and the sides were fresh.
