Herman’s has been a south county institution for nearly 40 years, regarded for its cut-to-order service, homemade Italian sausages and store-ground meats. For more exotic tastes, owner Dominick Reina offers alligator, cow brains and a variety of bones. A hearty and inexpensive way to sample Herman’s offering is at its Saturday afternoon cookouts, featuring sausage, ribs, hot dogs and side dishes.
