A good sandwich for a fair price but the two young ladies working behind the counter were swamped. It wasn't their fault; they were moving fast the whole time I was there but the business was more than they could handle. The floor and preparation area looked like a hurricane had hit. That said I really liked my ham sandwich (don't recall the name). I know it wasn't the healthiest thing I ate that day but it tasted good. read more

Was really liking Eriks Deli near my office and started taking lunch meetings there daily, went about 4 times in 1.5 weeks. Good sandwiches. Well, today I felt very unwelcome. I tried to order what I always get there and was told no, only to pick from menu. They do not do any changes anymore. Tried to ask about and just got mumbled at. Man would not give his name or talk to me, just went back to work. My business is not even a block away and I was coming here often with employees but now feel very unwelcome and will look for another spot to make my place. Since I buy lunch for my staff regularly, this is a costly rude person for this business. Hope he is the owner not just working there. Then if he wants to treat customers so rudely its his choice. I got a message from corporate and they gave me a code for a free sandwich. But when I went back to use it, I showed them the code, it didn't work and I had to pay for my sandwich! Not a word from the local store. I think absentee owners that don't give a damn. I got treated very badly here. read more

The guy taking our order was very rude. He gave us attitude for not ordering fast enough and then would ask us to repeat our order. He gave a lot of attitude throughout the whole interaction. Very unprofessional. read more

I ordered from here via a work lunch delivery service. I had the farmer's market sandwich, made vegan by removing the mustard and swapping the bread. Their ciabatta and sourdough slice are vegan bread options. The sandwich was delicious, well filled and I greatly enjoyed the sourdough bread. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Disappointing experience. I ordered online for pickup and arrived even a few minutes after the scheduled pick up time, expecting my food to be ready. However, it took more than 20 minutes from the time I placed my order, and it hadn't even started yet when I got there. The staff had to ask me what I ordered and then made it on the spot, which was a bit disappointing considering I was on a short lunch break. When I checked my sandwich before leaving, I noticed they had forgotten the sprouts. When I went back inside, I was told they were out of sprouts--something I wish I had been told earlier, either when I placed the order or while they were preparing it. I would have appreciated the heads-up so I could decide on something else. They offered lettuce as a replacement, but unfortunately, it was wilted and lacked any crunch. It wasn't fresh and really affected the overall quality of the sandwich. Overall, the communication about ingredients and the condition of the food didn't meet expectations, especially considering the price. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future customers. read more

The food is just okay. I could make a better sandwich at home. I asked what the most popular was and they said the CA crunch. Umm there was no crunch they gave me just basic bread. The sandwich came with a pickle and slice of orange. The orange looked very un appealing it looked like it was from yesterday as it was very pruned. I asked for a cup of water and they told me ohh the machine isn't working. So I'm like fine I'll get a fountain drink and they sold me that when I went to the machine the water spout was working just fine . I don't think they realized I'm a Spanish native speaker and they were talking bad about other employees out loud in Spanish which doesn't sounds to professional. The staff was very friendly to me besides that so it sounds like all of this water machine not working is just a sales tactic that prob came from their upper management. read more

I want to like this spot for their good sandwich combinations but execution was lacking. Bread was tough to the bite and the foundation of a sandwich heavily relies on the bread. Because of the difficulty, sandwich contents would fall apart before I could actually tear the sandwich. I got the Sea Dog with a brownie on the side. Sea Dog Sandwich with Smoked Bacon - added some bacon cause why not and actually really liked the smoked flavor. The Sea Dog is a classic tuna sandwich and has some avocado for a fatty, creamy enhancement. Contents were great but again, the bread was tough to bite and this meant my sandwich fell apart with each bite with the crust still in tact. Peruvian Chocolate Manifesto Brownie - a fairly large and chocolately brownie but not dense at all so I'm conflicted about how to feel. The chocolate chips were rich but the brownie as a whole was a bit disappointing and almost dry? read more

Food and service was excellent. Great environment and workers. Couldn't have been sweeter.

This place drives me crazy. Owner is never in and nobody in the store can figure out how to use a gift card. Feels illegal selling gift cards but not being able to redeem them. The food is fine it's just a very poorly managed place read more

Ordered the vegetable soup and Turkey Sandwhich. The Sandwhich was well worth it! The soup looked and tasted like mush do not recommend. My sister ordered the soup and salad and the Salad was worth it! It was fresh and a good portion. So advice, stay away from the soup, but order the sandwiches and the salads. read more

Our company orders food from this place quite often. They have a good amount of vegetarian selections and the sandwiches are great. However, the last time I got a salad, there were so many wilted pieces of lettuce that were turning. It was such a turn off to pick out so many pieces of lettuce that has gone bad. Makes me wonder what kind of lettuce they put in the sandwiches that are hidden in plain sight. read more

Tried Farmers market veggie sandwich- 2/5. ordered for delivery. Ordered wheat bread but got white bread. Didn't have most of the veggies that appeared on Yelp pictures. No flavor, for $10 you are getting a bland salad without dressing between 2 pieces of bread. Avoid. read more

I'm a sandwich type of guy and love to try many deli places. Erik's Deli is a popular sandwich shop and there's many locations all over the bay area. I ordered the Erik "Berger:" Meat - Smoked ham sandwich with a peppered onion roll with Monterey jack cheese, and Erik's "Secret Goo". Veggies - Slivered red onion, fresh tomato, and locally grown sprouts. All the fresh meat and ingredients made me enjoy every bite. The staff was friendly and the order was ready so quick! read more

ordered a simple half veggie sandwich like i do all the time, it was barely 3 inches long. i took it back to try and show them and they said "we don't make the bread" and said they could remake it but i would be charged for a full. i said never mind and left, then i opened the sandwich, barely a dash of every ingredient, the saddest singular layer of the very end of a romain lettuce, a single slice of bell pepper, single slice of pickle,, not sure what i did to deserve such an empty small sandwich but i wont be going back. i got a refund but wasted time on my short 30 minute lunch. wont be going back to this location. if the roll is much smaller than the rest it shouldn't be the same price, ingredient amount aside. read more

Barely any Turkey on this Rio Grande Club. Scared to see what the other sandwich will look like as it's for someone who works night shift and I won't know until they tell me. For $22 and change on two sandwiches and bags of chips that's ridiculous. Employees are very nice. Not sure if they are being instructed to use less meat, but it's happening and it's disappointing. Definitely not worth the gallon of gas at $6.49 to get there. read more

Not a bad place to grab a bite in this shopping plaza. "Sandwiches with character" is the slogan, though I would argue there's nothing unique about these sandwiches except their names. The $7 Pilgrim's Progress is an enjoyable sandwich with turkey, avocado, onions, tomatoes, sprouts, mayo and mustard on 9-grain wheat bread. It also comes with a pickle and a slice of orange. The ingredients tasted fresh, I was glad to see several layers of meat in the sandwich, though as a whole it was only moderately filling. For the price, the portion size was fair. But I don't know what this sandwich has to do with the John Bunyan novel by the same name. I certainly don't remember there being turkeys in that story. Perhaps there's something about this sandwich related to persistence through adversity or treasures in heaven that I'm missing. read more

A Vegetarian's Dream Lunch! Love their Del Monte Special sandwich loaded with fresh avocado, sprouts, tomato, red onion and Monterey Jack cheese with their special goo on fresh bread! It's been my go to favorite as well as their delicious and healthy carrot cake...just the perfect amount of icing....not too much or too sweet like other carrot cakes. A real treat. Friendly staff and fast service. Like their frequent reward program available through the app with free carrot cake on your birthday! read more

pesto sandwich bad. execution was lacking. made me sick and bloated. will never order again. thanks.

Ordered 2 pilgrims progress sandwiches and they tasted awesome, lots of Turkey and avocado!! Bread very fresh and soft too. Pleasantly surprised:) read more

One of the worst $12 sandwiches I ever had. Bread super stale. Ham tasted funny. While I was reading the menu the cashier is taping his fingers like hurry up in an empty deli. I had the ham and cheese I wanted a roll he gave me sliced. Worst place ever. Next time I will go to the Starbucks next door. read more

Customer service is always great, very quick preparing the order and always look like it's made with love

came here to get some sandwiches for takeout for a picnic! the service was really fast. the portion size seemed smaller than other sandwich places but it was a good size for me. I got the daily special which was plymouth rock and it was pretty good. read more

Comically terrible experience. I ordered the Del Monte Special and my fiance ordered the Natural High, both with soups on the side. My Del Monte came without sprouts. My fiance's sandwich came without mushrooms, sunflower seeds, or sprouts. It was just a grilled cheese in pita. We went up to ask what was going on and they said, "Oh yes, we ran out of sprouts." I asked why they didn't tell us when we ordered, they said they didn't know. I asked why they didn't tell us when they delivered them to our table, they shrugged and said they'd give us lettuce instead. What?? On the positive side, they made me something new for free... Unfortunately, it was the Mediterranean Veggie Wrap, which tasted terrible. Mostly like basil and canned roasted red peppers swimming in italian dressing. Bad bad bad. Not their fault here, just a poor concept overall. On the actual positive side, the buttenut squash soup is absolutely killer. Just get twenty servings of that, and this place will be truly delightful! read more

I'll keep this review relatively short. I don't know if I got the wrong sandwich, however, I just don't see a good value at this place. I got a sandwich which I can't quite remember the name, all I remember is that it was called express (and I can't remember the rest). The sandwich came out super fast, which is great. On the flip side I felt that I spend $8 but on a sandwich the size of a bagel. I will try a different sandwich next time, perhaps it was just a bad choice. read more

After seeing a program on Miller's east coast deli and not being anywhere close to SF, i had to get some pastrami. Since i was buying some stuff at REI i dropped in. Erik's reuben was the way i went. Corned beef, sauerkraut, marble rye and 1k island. Decent flavor, hot has heck after they heat it and semi filling. Its no hardcore deli but it somewhat satisfied the craving for deli read more

After shopping at bbb we stopped by here for lunch and ordered: Chicken and rice soup: 3/5 average Chicken pesto sandwich: 4/5 pretty good, good amount of pesto, not too overwhelming and the bread was nice and soft. Raging bull: 4/5 pretty good as well! Roast beef with pepper jack cheese yum. They use mason jars as cups. First visit at this chain and it will not be my last. read more

This is the worst place to purchase a sandwich. I spent almost $12 on a roast beef and turkey sandwich. It wouldn't be worth it if it was $2. They only give you one little slice of lettuce one very very thin sliced tomato. They don't follow instructions. Don't waste your time or your money on this place read more

Came here at 7:30 to get 2 Chicken pesto sandwiches and a couple of soups. Upon arriving home I had one of the worst Eric delis sandwiches, it was as if I had told him light pesto! the sandwich content portion didn't fill the bread. Honestly not what I was expected. Even though I had just Spent $40 plus dollars and couldn't get a couple of bread pieces with my soup. This Eric's deli is not doing it right. read more

A nice addition to the neighborhood. This Erik's DeliCafé is small, but clean. The staff has been very friendly during all my visits and the sandwiches and salads have been excellent. For roughly what one might spend at a Subway, Quiznos, or Togos, one can get a better tasting sandwich made with higher quality ingredients at Erik's. I'm pleased that one now has opened nearby my work. read more

Bread is super stale at this location, couldn't even bite my sandwich. Soups are diluted with water which makes the soups have no flavor and as if you just eating hot water. The two ladies that are there every time don't listen to your requests for sandwiches. Seems like this place is cutting corners and selling poor quality food at regular prices. read more

This is a nice little cafe in a great location. The sandwiches are very good -- somewhat better than places like Subway. They aren't quite up there with sandwich shops like Ike's or Driftwood, but they're still tasty (and inexpensive). The soups/bread bowls are good too. The parking issue at this location is perplexing. There is plenty of parking; however, it is often difficult to find a spot. You might want to park a little further from the lot in front of the restaurant. read more

Erik's deli makes a quality sandwich, and they are really quick, despite most locations being busy during the lunch hour. Sure, its not your hometown mom and pop sandwich shop, but for a chain, it easily stomps all over togos and subway. I'd say its second to only Mollie Stone's or Wholefoods. The produce is ripe and fresh, the meat has nice taste, and they aren't shlopped with mayo and sauces. The only issue is that the sandwiches are indeed a bit small. Get a side of soup or potato salad though, and you're set. read more

Erik's is another sandwich place I so desperately wanted to try...then was disappointed by. As with the others, I'll give them another go and order a different sandwich. I know these sandwich spots exist for a reason (or really want to believe*), so I blame myself on Round #1. I got the Durango Chicken without the special sauce (and it came with the special sauce.....), and it was not good. I didn't find out about the sauce until we got to work and tried to wipe it off, but it didn't really help. Something just didn't taste right about the whole thing. Like I said, will be back, will definitely get something different and check that there is zero sauce in my sammich. The two spots which haven't disappointed me are Driftwood Deli & Simply Sandwiches. read more

Eli, she has good service. Thank you for taking care of us and making us an amazing sandwich and coffee's. Last Monday was amazing read more

I will now be a frequent customer at this location as it's super close to work and different than Subway. Sometimes I want a heartier sandwich and that's what ya get there. Now there are 2 totally different experiences here. First is going here- you walk and there is a very small order/waiting area. If there are too many people in line, you are waiting at the door and are totally in the way. There are a decent number of tables if you wanna eat, but if you are getting to go, you must wait around awkwardly in the small area and try not to be in everyone's way. I ordered 2 sandwiches and waited, luckily not too long. One was labeled, one was not. Pilgrim progress was super yum and a huge sandwich, and that's my usual go to. Now the 2nd is ordering via doordash- and this part is strictly for the restaurant. When we do a large order for work, I have placed instructions to write everyone's name on the sandwich and they can't seem to do this. read more

Stopped in quick before catching a flight home. I'll be honest, the star rating was a little concerning. Fortunately, I asked someone's opinion in REI next door and they gave big thumbs up so I gave it a try. Everything was very fresh and I loved the onion roll. Better still, the people behind the counter were SUPER nice. Definitely coming back on my next trip to the Bay Area! read more

I got here a little after 12PM today. There were four customers ahead of me and one cashier. This cashier looked zoned out - he kept asking the same questions of the customers ahead of me. The lady in front of me looked annoyed after being asked again and again if she wanted sprouts in her sandwich (she had stated in the beginning that she didn't want any). Most of the tables were filled, and the four customers before me all got their orders to go. The beverages were in a refrigerated case to the left of the cash registers, and the chips were on a rack right below the cash registers. When it was my turn, I stated upfront that my order was for "here", and showed the cashier the bottled water and bag of chips that I was getting. I ordered a Rio Grande Club (turkey, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese) on gluten-free bread. It states on the wall menu that you can get any sandwich on gluten-free bread without an extra charge. The cashier asked me twice, after I had stated that my order was for "here", if my order was for "here" or "to go". My order came to $11.39 ($7.39 Rio Grande Club, $1.39 bag of chips, and $1.69 Arrowhead bottled water, plus tax). I gave the cashier a twenty, and he looked confused as he counted my change out three times before handing it to me. About five minutes after I sat down, my sandwich arrived - the employee that brought orders over to the tables snatched the numbered signs and dropped each diner's plate in front of him/her loudly. The gluten-free bread used for my sandwich reminded me of Udi's GF bread: http://udisglutenfree.com/products/whole-grain-bread/ My sandwich was sliced in half, with each half held together by a toothpick; an intact bread slice would have measured about 4" x 5". There were three thin slices of turkey, a thin slice of pepper jack cheese, two pieces of crispy bacon, the thinnest layer of guacamole that I've ever seen, wilted lettuce mixed with crunchy lettuce, and two slices of tomatoes that were so thin that they were almost invisible. On the surface, the presentation was good: sandwiches were served on brightly colored plates with a pickle on the side and an orange slice. I thought it was ridiculous that they had the crunchy lettuce on top of and hiding the wilted lettuce, like a customer wouldn't notice. Two customers at the table next to mine were talking about how small the sandwiches were. They weren't kidding. I was so hungry that afterwards, I had to go to the Mountain View Costco, which luckily was close by, and get a food court hot dog (without the bun). I kid you not. A lot of cars kept driving at high speeds towards pedestrians that were in the crosswalk, with many of the drivers slamming on their brakes at the last minute. I parked by Best Buy, away from all the action. In the same shopping center as Best Buy, Chipotle, and REI. The cross street is Independence Ave. read more

So I work across the street, and decided to stop by here for my lunch for a sourdough bread bowl with the vegetable vegetarian soup. The lady that rung me up, was very rude and not attentive at all. I ordered everything to go. When I opened my bread bowl, the bread was molded on the inside(I will post a picture) and the soup was not warm at all. I definitely will not be coming back here. I would give this place zero stars, but that wasn't an option. read more
