I went on my lunch break while in the office. It was busy but not crazy. My wrap came out pretty fast!! I got the chicken Caesar on a wheat wrap. It was so good. I didn't want it to end. It had the perfect amount of dressing on it. The croutons added a nice crunch. I will definitely be going back for this and to add some of the other wraps and sandwiches. read more

Erin's Deli - Turkey bacon sandwich - Desserts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Best Deli in Downtown Pittsburgh hands down. The sandwiches are elite, Erin's club is my fave.

While visiting Pittsburgh for a conference, I found this deli. If you are looking for a great salad and awesome service, check it out!

Great place. It takes a bit to get your food, but it is delicious. Lots of options, but delicious and fresh made.

I was downtown and went into Erin's Deli. Very amazing selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Very good food and great people that work there. Will go back again often. read more

Great place to have a seat and eat good made fresh right in front of you ! Great location as well friendly environment

I paid 16 dollars and some cents for an iced tea and a Chicken Monterey sandwich it was all lettuce! Very little chicken and the chicken wasn't real. The bacon was so thin and very little that I could not find it. it was literally a half a pound of lettuce, and some black nasty looking avocado. Had zero taste to it because nothing was on it! 16 bucks! I will never go back. read more

I get breakfast from Erin's anytime I'm in the office, top tier breakfast sandwiches!

Wow! I ate lunch here today and will definitely be back. Homemade breads and delicious, unique sandwiches and salads. I had a French dip today and it was the best I've ever eaten. My only complaint was they pour the au jus on the sandwich instead of serving it on the side so it was very messy to eat. It was so good, though, I didn't care! Just used lots of napkins! read more

Erin's is my favorite lunch spot when I go into the office. Great sandwiches and soup (try the stuffed pepper soup). Reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. You can get chips, sodas, and cookies at checkout. read more

I come here daily for lunch as it's close to my work. For the price tag that is less than $10, I get good fresh salads. Erin's Deli has a great selection of salads and sandwiches. Usually they run the place very efficiently and you get your salad or sandwich pretty quickly. However, try to avoid rush hour between noon to 1pm. However, I was disappointed a couple times when the bread that came with the salad was stale, which I suspected is because they do not get daily fresh bread deliveries. I would highly recommend them on managing their inventory more efficiently so they can have a continuous supply of fresh bread as it does make a difference. Overall, will continue coming here for lunch and recommend you to give it a try if you happen to be around. read more

Erin's Deli offers a refreshing friendly escape from your busy workday. Fast and fresh, there are plenty of flexible options on the menu. It's hard to go wrong! This restaurant has quickly become the top seated lunch spot among my heavy rotation. I work downtown, and try to pack my lunch when possible. On the days that I can't brown bag it, I find it fun to sample the local lunch scene Downtown. No point in wasting my time at a fast-food chain when I get get a quality lunch at a reasonable price elsewhere. I've found quite a few favorites, but Erin's takes the cake. I have two passionate recommendations to make, but I've tried other corners of the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. My absolute favorite dish amoung Erin's roster is the Mediterranean Wrap; an exhilarating vegetarian option that is bursting at the seams with an assortment of fresh lettuce, kalamata olives, chopped artichokes, spread fetta and just a hint of balsamic vinaigrette. I've definitely requested to add grilled chicken in the past, and it fits the medley perfectly. However, this wrap is so packed with flavor that it is plenty filling with just the plants and feta. Quite literally the best wrap I've ever had. Sometimes I will wake up thinking about it (I literally just woke up and I'm typing this review in bed hahaha). The second item that I would be remiss to leave unmentioned is the Stuffed Pepper Soup. A big bowl of ground beef, soft rice and green peppers in a dark warm broth. This bowl of comfort has practically saved my life on some of the more frigid afternoons Pittsburgh has been forced us to endure this year. Erin's is not a discount restaurant, but it is comparable in price to other Downtown lunch spots and the menu options are not remotely stingy on quantity or quality. The atmosphere during lunch is definitely busy. This is mainly because the restaurant has prime real estate on the ground floor of the K&L Gates building downtown, and also because the food is so dang good. Despite the bustle, at no point during my experience do I feel unwelcome. The staff is friendly and efficient, they always greet me with a genuine smile and they keep the lunch rush moving with relative ease. Although during the summer it was fun to take my lunch outside to eat in the sunny court yard, the December chill has widely discouraged this. Lately I've been staying to eat in house. The atmosphere is super cozy and provides a more than nice alternative to scarfing down lunch at my desk! I love people watching and noticing familiar faces that have also become enthralled by the alluring draw of Erin's menu. Hope this review helps you decide what to eat for lunch today! :) read more

This is a convenient stop for lunch downtown if you're looking for something light and healthy. While all of the sandwich options and salads are predefined, they are not prepackaged. Orders are taken at the cash register, and you can see the salad (or whatever you ordered) being prepared fresh! This place gets busy, but the speed in which the food is delivered has never failed me. The staff are friendly, it's a good stop of either dine in or take out, and portion sizes are filling! I'll definitely be back! read more

Erin's Deli - Bang Bang Chicken Salad - Desserts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Erin's Fine Foods is a great little shop for lunch. Walking from Grant St, I couldn't find this place originally, but it was hidden inside the K&L Gates building so it took me 2 tries until I got it right. I love that this place always has really fresh food and I'm pretty sure I had the best chicken salad of my life here. They have a daily special which can be worth checking out as well. Even though the lunch can seem a bit pricey ($10+) for what it looks like, the food quality is definitely there and worth it. Just make sure you hit this place at the right time, or end up waiting for a while (at least 15-20 mins)! read more

Fabulous super fresh food made to order right in front of you! The price was totally right and it was sooo very right. read more

I don't frequent this place that much anymore because it's just not consistent enough. But I tried it again today & was completely disappointed. I paid $9 for a "Monterey Chicken wrap" which was mostly lettuce. There was very little chicken, I couldn't taste any mayo, and the bacon was super thin as well. Normally these sandwiches fill me up, but since this one was mostly lettuce, I'm still left hungry. Won't be back unfortunately. read more

Erin's Deli - "Monterey chicken wrap" which is almost entirely lettuce - Desserts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I really enjoy coming here and I'm lucky because it is in my work building! I've been here many, MANY times for breakfast and lunch. They have reasonable prices and great options that include salads, wraps, sandwiches, soup and PLENTY of delicious pastries. A few of my favorites include the Chicken Caesar Wrap, the Bourbon Steak sandwich, the Spicy Meatloaf and the Bang Bang Chicken wrap. The staff is very friendly and the food is good. My only warning is that this place gets PACKED right around noon, so either be prepared to wait or go a little earlier/later than the lunch rush! read more

This deli is hidden inside the K&L Gates building. Very convenient if you work right in the area. I have tried many things here - sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), salads, soups. Everything usually does the trick, but feels overpriced to me. At lunch, their sandwiches come with a pickle - you have to pay more for a drink and/or chips, which basically everybody wants. Once you pay to add chips and a drink, the price becomes not worth it. For a grab and go type of place at lunchtime, the prices don't reflect that. You order at the counter by where they are making the food, then take your check to the register and wait in that area for your meal. This process isn't very obvious so it would be nice if they put up little signs like "order here" and "pay here". They do have a few tables and chairs if you want to sit and eat. read more

Looking for a healthy option downtown for lunch? This might be one of the places. They offer a variety of sandwiches, wraps and salads. I absolutely love the bang bang chicken wrap. It's more of a thai flavor with peanut sauce and veggies, it's also offered as a salad. The hot sandwiches are also a great option. I like the spicy meatloaf, everything just melts in your mouth. All orders come with a side of veggies or a pickle. There's plenty of room to sit down and enjoy lunch. It does get crowded but the line moves fast. read more

I can't say or tell co-workers enough about Erin's Deli breakfast bagels. The "Sausage Egg And Cheese" with Swiss and Chipotle Mayo is my go to and I can't get enough!! Come here multiple times a week. read more

Nice Place. Better than the quizno's that it replaced. It was clean inside. Expanded to be bigger by knocking out one of the walls. You order at the counter. The man running the counter was funny. Recognized one of my friends and called her Lisa. (Lisa wasn't her name but he played it off). We laughed. You then walk down the isle and pay the cashier at the end. The food took maybe 5-10 minutes to prepare. I got the bang bang chicken salad. It's made with a spicy peanut sauce. I also got double chicken since I work out. I don't know if it was really "double" since it looked like about a breast worth of chicken but nonetheless I'm glad they could accomodate my dietary need. I got a drink and a cookie and my meal came out to $13.50. Again my fault for getting double meat, prolly would've costed around the $11 range otherwise. Portions here are pretty small. Usually deli's are known for getting a good bang for your buck but here the portion sizes are ample. They use plastic containers that are half the size of a regular one, so you get about half the salad you would anywhere else. The bang bang chicken salad and wrap come with mixed greens, nuts, cucumbers, roasted red peppers and its bang bang asian peanut sauce. The chicken was shredded and tasted good. I'd give it a two thumbs up. Now that I have tried the new place on the block the big question comes up, would I go back? Sure If a coworked asked or if someone wanted to try a new place. But I wouldn't have cravings for this place like say a chipotle or five guys. It's good, quality somewhat healthy foods at somewhat moderate prices. But in a community that's filled with such diverse options, being good may not make you stand out among the crowd. read more

I started going here as soon as I started working in the same building. I was told from coworkers that the breakfasts are good but the lunches are hit or miss. I have purchased both breakfast and lunch options, as well as bakery treats, too many times to count. Therefore, I will say the following: - Breakfast is usually great. The souffles are amazing, the smoked salmon on a bagel is superb, and it's moderately priced for downtown - around $7 for a breakfast and coffee. The meals fill you up to get to lunch. The coffee is also great and simple. - Lunch is usually a miss for me. I liked the Stuffed Pepper Bowl but it is seasonal. Everything else I have tried has not been good. It's kind of like dressing up - take one thing off at the door and you're good. They need to remove one "extra" and it would be a great lunch. I don't feel like I get my money's worth on the lunches either. Maybe throw in a bag of chips and a drink too rather than the pickle or vegetable option. Also, put some signage up saying how lunch needs to be ordered because you feel a bit like a novice idiot when you don't realize you tell the person with the notepad your order and name, take that to the register and pay, and then wait to get called. - Sweet treats are really good - great cookie selection and interesting takes on classics. The only one I didn't like was a scone that was really dry. But I did get it at the end of the day so maybe it went stale? - The refrigerated section is full of different salads and fruits and is usually good. Twice I purchased some spoiled hard boiled eggs but out of probably 100 times that is bound to happen. I think they've gotten more stringent on that though with the dated labels. I really do enjoy the people that work there. Some of them seem a little rough around the edges but their personalities grow on you. The register seems to be a revolving door but I think the new woman they have is a good fit - she's friendly and fun. My recommendations would be: offer total meals for breakfast and lunch like a meal and a drink for $X, offer a punch card for frequent guests so I feel like my choosing them for food is rewarded, re calibrate the lunch offerings and pair down on some of the unique ingredients on sandwiches, and monitor the refrigerated items closely to make sure you aren't labeling spoiled food as still good for a few days. read more

I have tried multiple times to give this place a chance, and as a result have paid for many of over priced breakfast sandwiches, soups, salads, and sandwiches. However, today was my last time ever giving this place any more of my money. I ordered a BLT Avocado Wrap, and upon opening up my wrap, found there to be no avocado in it. After approaching the counter to inform them, I was met with extreme attitude, and without a word being said, was handed a container of what used to be avocado. As I have said, I have given this place many chances, always tipped, always waited upwards of 20 minutes for my food, and dealt with the less than friendly man who is the cashier. The food quality should never be considered "fine;" the chicken in the chicken noodle soup has the texture of a wet sponge, the stuffed pepper soup is greasy with whole peppers or huge pieces of ground meat in it, and the salads are always over dressed with too many ingredients. Erin, you are very nice, and you seem to have a loyal customer base. I hope this feedback is received, and although I will never be a customer again, hope it helps out the droves of people that spend way too much money there every day. read more

Erin's Deli - "Avocado" - Desserts Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great lunch location! The workers are super friendly and seem just way too happy to be in there - maybe they are paying them partially in desserts? I am sadly always good when I am in there, so I haven't tried their amazing looking desserts - cupcakes, cookies, scones, sweet breads, other amazing-ness... But the rest of their food is amazing. The first time I went I had an egg white, avocado and cheese bagel. Delish and felt very healthy. The next few times I have had salads. The first time I had a turkey avocado salad. They chop the salad which to me adds a lot to it. I like being able to get all flavors in one bite. The last two times - I go there a lot, yeah - I have had the cape cod salad. It's dried cranberries, blue cheese, pine nuts, red onion and a white vinegarette on spring greens. Normally, I would add some meat to it, but this salad is so fresh and lovely tasting all by itself and is super cheap - $6.25 - that I don't even bother. I would tell you to go, but then I'll have to wait in line longer, so don't go. Let me go alone way too frequently :) read more

I would give this place about 3-3.5 stars. Cons: average wait time at lunch is around 20mins. A sandwich and drink will easily set you back $10 dollars. Pros: good food, close to work Suggestions : have combos- 1/2 salad and soup, 1/2 sandwich and salad ect. Include drink in the price . Hand out numbers for guests eating in. That way there aren't not 20 people in a group by the check out. read more

Best place to get a sandwich downtown. Tasty food, fairly creative recipes for a deli, decent prices, and fast/friendly service.

This place automatically gets bonus points because it's close to where I work. In all fairness though, I give them a solid 4. 1) Friendly staff - everyone here is so nice. They recognize you when you come in, they say hi, ask how you're doing. Try getting that at Starbucks. 2) Reasonable prices - enough said. $1.97 for a large coffee. Sold. 3) Baked goods are crazy good. Do yourself a favor and get a blueberry scone or a white chocolate raspberry scone and ask them to heat it up for a few seconds. I'm talking life-changing flavor. It's like eating a muffin top with that little crustiness to it, but the WHOLE THING IS LIKE THAT. And then they put some icing on it, you know, for good measure. If you want to be happy while simultaneously hating yourself for not eating healthier, this is the ticket. Those are the top three reasons why I like Erin's. The sandwiches I've had so far have been decent, but not quite at the level of the baked goods section. read more

Located in the bottom lobby of the K&L Gates building on Sixth Avenue, this place has everything from sandwiches to wraps to meatloaf to salads. I have ordered the balsamic pulled pork, the Italian wrap (best if cooked in the oven for a few minutes), the spicy meatloaf, turkey diablo and the roast beef before and they are all really good. The Italian wrap is probably my favorite, although the meatloaf includes a spicy chipotle sauce on it that is really good. The employees are very nice and talkative. They have a nice selection of salads, cookies, chips, etc. You also get either veggies or a big pickle with each meal. Great little place that will cost you between 8 and 13 for lunch depending on what you get. I go here probably once a week because it's good and convenient for me. read more

One of my fav downtown lunch spots! A good selection of wraps, salads, soups & amazing cakes!! Veggies are fresh and meat is decent quality. Pastries are too delicious. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating. Usually a short wait- the one time I did wait longer than normal, the manager on duty noticed and gave me a free cookie!! Works for me! read more

I love stopping here for lunch. Always have a great selection of fresh produce/ingredients and fabulous flavors.

Erin's is my favorite place to eat for lunch in Pittsburgh! The menu has a lot of thought in it and the combinations are to die for! The menu is always expanding and there's different specials all the time. Definitely worth the money. read more

This is a go-to for our office. They have a variety of options that are reasonably priced. I wouldn't say that it is the healthiest food option in downtown, but everything I have tried was good and seemed fresh. It is a little hidden in the bottom floor of the building, which leads to it being less crowded than many other places at the lunch hour. I would recommend it for a quick take out place if you are in a rush. read more

I work in the same building as Erin's, so it's a really convenient spot for me. In the same building, you'll find a Starbucks, except that Erin's coffee is way better. The hazelnut and the Kona blend are both fantastic, and I've come to prefer them above any other coffee around. Now I'm usually the pack-my-own-lunch type, but on days when I need to buy something, Erin's is also my go-to. Real, fresh ingredients and not a bunch of pre-made crap, with a unique menu in which anyone could find something to suit them. I've had too many things on the menu to name, from breakfast sandwiches (seriously the best in downtown), to salads (such generous portions that don't skimp on the chicken and other good stuff), to sandwiches (bang bang chicken is a favorite!), to wraps - seriously, all of it is good. And while I'm not connected, I just met the real Erin behind the deli this morning while picking up my coffee, and she's as nice as can be. The whole staff is. It's just an awesome place over all that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a quick lunch spot in downtown. read more

The best steak and egg breakfast sandwich out there! It's cheap too compared to other places.

They have many good vegetarian options and the price is right for the quality of the food. The veggie sandwich that is always on the menu is delicious. I tried the bean burger special, and it was OK. I appreciated that it was clearly homemade (and a vegetarian special), but all the ingredients just didn't quite jive into a cohesive sandwich. The mixed vegetable option that comes with the sandwiches is a nice touch. Nothing to write home about, though good enough that I always opt for that instead of the pickle, and I like pickles. Otherwise, they have a decent selection of sides to choose from for an extra cost. read more

I had literally the best lunch in recent memory here. Rice bowl with chicken was PERFECT. The reason this place doesn't get five stars is because there appear to be a cadre of gross regulars that get preferential treatment. I was waiting for someone behind the counter for someone to take my order, some sloppy Yinzer cut right in front of me, started yukking it up with the staff, and no one even acknowledged me. Hopefully the customer service gets better, and if it does please let me know. I won't be returning despite excellent food because trashy obnoxious middle aged sloppy dudes in faded polo shirts make me lose my appetite. read more

As a worker in the K&L Gates building, I am very happy that a deli has opened in the area where Quizno's used to be. I know from elevator conversations that the seemingly 100 year old partners at Gates wanted something that was more upscale than your typical fast-food franchise. Well, Erin's is exactly that: An upscale Deli with a few surprises. If forced to decribe the place, I would peg it midpoint between Au Bon Pan and the Bluebird Cafe. Good food, personal treatment, an excellent selection of made-to-order deli dishes, soups, and a section with pre-packaged sandwiches and salads for those in a hurry. The place has more than enough flair to differentiate it from the DiBella's and Penn Stations in the area. As of today (5/21/14) they still seem to be tweaking things a little, but I'm reasonably sure they will work out any small kinks soon enough. My first meal there was a cold roast beef sandwich with fresh greens on ciabatta bread. The ciabatta bread seems to be their signature bread and with good reason. It differentiates Erin's from the other places nearby. And it is really good as long as you eat there or order cold food. It also allows Erin's to provide a sandwich that is a little smaller than the gargantuan 1000 calorie things often served elsewhere. It was still filling. This was a good sandwich but I don't think it was something to write home about, probably because I did not order it with everything the menu suggests. I later had a hot skirt-steak sandwich with cheese and some unusual seasonings. This was NOT a "Philly Cheese steak". It also came on Ciabatta bread. The sandwich was excellent, but the plastic container it came in allowed the bread to "steam" so that by the time I got back to my desk, it was a little soggy. Common problem with hot take-out. I suggest you eat hot sandwiches in the sit-down area of the deli unless they change their containers. The surprise I alluded to is the desserts. They have a lot of really excellent and unique items that you won't find anywhere else in downtown except maybe the Capital Grill. I had a "s'more brownie" that was a layer of graham cracker, then a dark dense rich chocolate layer with actual marshmellows melted on top. Messy but excellent. On another day I had a small round flourless chocolate tort or decadence cake with a sweet cream topping. This was also very messy to eat but otherwise outstanding. I was always in and out as quickly as or more quickly than most of the other places around town at lunch time. And the staff is friendly and polite. GIve it a try! If you are tired of the new generation of fast-food places that have sprung up all over, this might be the perfect find for you. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots downtown, great sandwiches, soup, salad, and side options! I have even done catered boxed lunches for a large group and they were excellent! One critique is that on he occasions I have ordered soup, sometimes I get lots of meat and veggies and other times it's mostly broth. Despite that, all the soups I have tried are great! read more

I WAS a repeat customer. The food is really good and not burgers & fries or just cold cut sandwiches and they offer steamed veggies as a side. However, on my visit May 2, 2019 I specifically went in for a bang bang chicken wrap. They were out of chicken (about 1:00). No problem, I thought "I'll just come back tomorrow." Returned the next day, no one in line, but NO ONE acknowledged my presence, not Erin, not the food prep guy, not the cashier. All three looked up when I entered but continued doing what they were doing. I was the ONLY customer in line at the time - no one ahead of me and no one behind me. After standing there for a full minute, I turned around and left. I will NOT be returning no matter how much I like their food. It seems the art of customer service is lost. When a customer enters your establishment, it is your responsibility to greet that customer. I will not spend my money anywhere I am not properly greeted. If this is the new normal, I am sure they will lose many more customers which would be sad because the food is good. I definitely will not be back. read more
