Herb & Earnie’s Family Diner

What a fun story. A couple that decided to make their home dishes in a restaurant. Nice mom and pop place. Clean, great service and a charming server. Had the jägerschnitzel, sauer kraut and red cabbage. Finished it off by splitting a banana pudding and an apple pie. Oh my. Jägerschnitzel was extra crispy, the pork was cooked to perfection and the sauce wasn't what I've typically had before, but it was very nice. Overall a 9 out of 10. The sauerkraut had almost all the flavors that I've come to expect from a good German traditional dish. I would put it about an 8.5. The red cabbage. Wow, ok. The flavor profile isn't what I would typically expect, but it had a deeply pungent flavor that was nice. Seemed perhaps the cabbage may have been a bit overcooked. 7.5 for that. Tried

We had breakfast here this morning on the recommendation of my mom. She said the pancakes remind her of The Kettle. We ordered two pancake stacks and a hash brown casserole. The orders came out exactly as we ordered them, the casserole was cheesy and delightful, and the pancakes still taste like a different time. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and had a great rapport with one of her regulars. She also handled a pickup order and a DoorDash order. Service was important to me because several of the reviews mention less than great service, but that was not our experience. The photo I've included is a painting on the front window. It's a welcome sign from the owners, Andy and Betina. I've also included a sticker used to close up the silverware packets.

Got delivery and got the Benny. Eggs were overcooked and not runny at all. Hardly any hollandaise came with it. A great eggs Benedict would have runny poached eggs and enough hollandaise so the English muffin isn’t dry.

My husband took me out to eat here for Valentine's day. It was my 1st time here. Loved it. Prices are decent to you not as expensive as I thought it would be. We will be back. Afterwards we walked next door and got to shop at Mercantile's where they sell consignment stuff and I loved everything and found the perfect chicken earrings oh and they also have Bulldog stuff. And the store smelled great. Can't wait to do this again. Oh and I think next time somebody has a birthday getting them a gift card for Herb and Ernie's would be a great idea!!

Good food, fair price. Have to try the waffles and Crispy Chicken, Mmmm good. And go next door to the Main st. Mercantile Store. 100 different small independent vendors of all types. Lots of different things to see and buy 🤑
