What wonderful service! The employees really went above and beyond and the food was, as always, excellent. Their gluten free bread is delicious!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are delicious!Dietary restrictions: Great option for gluten free sandwiches!

My partner and I were having a nasty argument on our road trip. We were both hangry (that’s a portmanteau of hungry and angry for those who don’t know.) This tends to happen frequently as we do not prepare for road trips with snacks for our journey. It was around lunch and one of us suggested we get a deli sandwich. We did at this establishment. Sharing a sandwich, chicken pesto on 9-grain whole wheat, we were able to make amends, laughing and reminiscing over the times we had shared. Erik’s brought us back together when we were close to falling a part. Thank you Erik for your secret goo.

Good food but I would say a little pricy. If in the area I would definitely go back.

My coworker and I had Erik's for lunch today - take out order. The order was all messed up. I wrote an email to Erik's and within a few hours, the manager called and made things right. Usually Erik's has really good sandwiches and we enjoy eating there. We will be back - thank you for taking the time to call and talk.

I always love Erik's. Food taste is consistent no matter what store you go to. This one is no exception. The employees were friendly and got my food relatively quick.

Clam chowder was good, clumsy service. Sloppy presentation. Spilled soup all over the saucer. The warm sandwich was horrible. It was heated in a microwave and the bread was doughy tough like a ready made gas station microwavable sandwich. Never going back

Stopped by during a road trip. Quick refreshing meal. I ordered the 1/2 Sandwich Combo with the Butternut Squash Soup and Ciao Down Sandwich. The soup was really good. The sandwich was decent but bread wasn't that fresh and flavors weren't anything special. I wish to give them a 3.5 since they gave us two extra pickles which was really awesome.

I had their sourdough veggie soup and it was yummy, the only thing I wish that they gave more soup, the sour dough was huge and soup was very little. Overall it's great

My favorite sandwich, when it’s well made, is a Rueben. I’ve been looking for this sandwich in my area (Salinas/Monterey) for a year. It’s been rough, so I’m guessing it’s choice is not currently popular. (?) Recently, I discovered that Erik’s Deli makes them, so today I dropped in. The service was good. Sandwiches were made quickly. The employees were friendly. The facility was clean. And, they offer a senior discount! However, I was disappointed in my sandwich. It’s supposed to have sauerkraut, which was not immediately apparent. There was too much dressing which dripped and caused the other ingredients to slide. The majority of the filling was in the middle of the sandwich, leaving the outer edge of the bread with nothing but thousand island dressing. This was significant because the meat, cheese, and kraut slid out from the center, increasing the amount of bread standing alone. Will I return? Possibly. I don’t know if anyone else who makes this sandwich.

On Tuesday I went to order my favorite pilgrim progress sandwich. They had no avocados & no sprouts for my sandwich I Waited over 25 minutes for my sandwich. In that time they could have ran to Food Max to get what the needed. Poor planning
