    Herman's Diner is a Colchester staple that has been in operation for decades. They offer a wonderful selection of homemade breakfast foods at traditional, diner prices with large portions. There's usually quite a crowd and it's a small place so I recommend getting there on the early side if you're in the area! Other than that, you won't be disappointed with their yummy breakfast favorites!

    Update: I brought it down a few stars, we went on a mid morning weekday and there were only 3 other people there besides us. The cook was someone we've never seen before and same with the waitress, We ordered two basic omelettes, it took literally 45 minutes for us to get them and they were complaining while cooking the entire time. Plus the bacon AND egg in my husbands wasn't even cooked so he ended up getting sick. It's definitely not normal for them but pushed us away for now..

    Honestly wasn't sure about it based on the size and reading its cash only, but decided to give it a shot. We walked in and sat down at a small table. It's mostly bar and a few 2-seater tables. We ordered coffee. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my husband an omelet. It took an extra bit of time to get the food to us, but we didn't mind because we could literally see them making it.

    When it was delivered, amazing. My sausage gravy was creamy and perfectly salty. The biscuits underneath were definitely homemade and the home fries were cooked by a pro. My husbands omelet  was just as delicious, you can tell the veggies were fresh and the toast was homemade.

    The portions were huge and the bill cheap. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. We actually got 2 of the largest muffins I've ever seen on the way out. Even though I literally couldn't eat anymore I had to try them. We chose the cranberry white chocolate and it was every bit as dreamy as I hoped it'd be.

    This is absolutely our new breakfats

    Herman's hit.the.spot. for us this morning.  After a long night at the casino we were headed back toward Hartford and needed a late breakfast spot.  Herman's is right off the highway so a very easy on / off if that's what you're looking for.  The diner is a repurposed trailer home and they use ever square inch well.  Two women were running the show when we stopped in and nailing it.  

    We had the house special with two eggs perfectly over medium and also an order of french toast with eggs.  We of course had bacon which is thin and crispy.  The potatoes are HOT potatoes - give those puppies a good minute before you stuff your face.  

    A great deal & just what we needed.
