I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The food was basic and bland, and the service made it worse. I asked for a hot pastrami and provolone, and the worker told me I could only order the sandwiches listed on the menu. So I tried ordering one of their sandwiches with pastrami and removing the other meats. Then suddenly he tells me I can order a custom sandwich (completely contradicting what he said earlier). When my food finally came out, it wasn't even hot pastrami. I paid premium prices for a sandwich that was honestly WACK. Definitely not worth the money or the frustration. read more

This is a really good location: #1. This location very clean inside and the decor throughout is well placed. I also noticed that the windows were clean. #2. There is plenty of indoor seating. #3. They have a great call to order menu with listings of what's in the sandwiches. #4. The "order taker" was super nice, and patient. #5. We ordered our sandwiches to eat there and were given a table order number. "The table service was fast and excellent" #5. I ordered their Gaocho Grinder. A warm sandwich that comes with roast beef, creamy mozzarella cheese, crispy fried onions, tomatoes, " secret goo", zesty chimichurri sauce. (Hold the sprouts!!) and a sliced pickle, wedge and orange wedge. The sandwich I must say was excellent, the Dutch crunch bread was super moist yet crunchy at the same time, the crispy onions added a nice touch while the chimichurri and secret goo sauce also added some wonderful flavors. I have been to 3 different Erik's locations so far and IMO this is the best location. read more

I order from this deli maybe once a month, when I'm on my way to my son's game at Gavilan. I place my order online and it's always ready to go as soon as I walk in. I've never eaten while at this location, but it is always kept very clean. I love my pilgrims turkey sandwich on rye. read more

Sandwiches were very good! It was tucked away but we found it off the freeway. The turkey was excellent.

DO NOT GET THEIR SMOOTHIES,absolutely disgusting, it's just blended ice with syrup flavoring. Service was good though, and sandwich's are pretty good. My dad recommends the sea dog. They have GF options. Environment was good, smelled a little funky but lots of indoor seating, and a couple outdoor seating options. over 2.5/5 read more

My all time favorite 4) The Dub Club is amazing they are 4 for 4. Don't forget the the butternut squash soup is the best!!!! read more

We were spending some time at the gilroy outlets and were feeling a sandwich and salad so we came here. We shared a chicken pesto sandwich and a chicken Gorgonzola salad. However, there are combos for sandwich + soup/salad or half sandwich + soup/salad if you don't care for a specialty salad! What makes a sandwich for me is the bread-- usually as long as the ingredients are fresh, something like a basic salad or chicken pesto sandwich will be similar everywhere. The bread here was soft and definitely one of the better deli sandwiches I've had! I also enjoyed the sprouts in the sandwich-- it was something I don't see often but complemented everything well. The salad was also really good. Dressing was tasty and the honey maple walnuts added a nice note. The portions for the price were pretty good relative to competitors. We brought home half a sandwich because we couldn't finish everything. It's for sure better in every way than Panera. If you're feeling a basic deli meal, this is definitely one of the better spots I've been to. No complaints here! read more

Such good sandwiches! Super fresh and nice workers loved it. In the outlet location so close to shopping

Today I was in the area of Hollister and Gilroy enjoying the surroundings areas. On the way back to the Bay Area decided to try this Deli in Gilroy. Wasn't bad and it wasn't great, the sandwiches didn't have a much deli meat and it lacked some taste. I can isay I won't try this place iagain read more

I waited for 15 minutes after their posted opening time and they still didn't open. I could see staff inside, but they wouldn't open their doors. I was in a rush on my way to the airport trying to pick up some food beforehand. Total waste of time and unprofessional. read more

Today is all about the service, the girl definitely had a attitude. IM sorry but you work in coustomer service. So you definitely forgot you owed me my cake and didn't think I was going to say nothing. What's worse I saw you talking to the guy employee and he ran in back as I walked up to the counter. So, a door dash guy yelled then he came back to help me, he was going to charge me I said already paid. As for the girl she was having lunch ignoring the whole thing. THE owner, or district Mgr should re-trail these employees. Coustomer service goes a long way. read more

Came on a Sunday at 1:30 and it wasn't very busy. We ordered the Square Meal, which is a whole sandwich and cup of soup. Specifically, we got the Rio Grande Club with tomato basil soup. They were both quite tasty. This was our first time here, and we would definitely come back. The dining area was clean and tidy, and there were several tables to choose from. They had a ton of chip options to choose from as well as bottled and canned drinks. read more

Juan and Evelyn make a great team. Professional, polite and great overall service! The place is clean, the food tasted great and we had a nice quick dinner at your restaurant. Great recommendations for further orders. Thank you! read more

Came here NYE for lunch and they were not busy, yet the 2 guys working there would take turns disappearing or both would disappear behind the counter into the kitchen. A family of 5 waited for 5m with no acknowledgment from the staff that handed orders to door dash drivers so they left. Our sandwiches were heated, and since the sandwiches were poorly stacked and made, the sandwiches were a mess to eat because it came completely apart. Hope owners sees this to train staff or get better staff. Not coming back. Oh and they forgot the extra sprouts we paid for. The ingredients were fresh, though the sandwiches look nothing like the pictures. read more

Have you ever hurt your mouth eating a sandwich?! I just did, by eating at Erick's Deli cafe sandwich. There was a bread clip inside my sandwich!! Staff is very rude and didn't even care to ask an apology. Very disappointing experience. read more

Being a creature of habit I often order the same thing over and over and over. Don't get me wrong, I love to try new food but sometimes there's just something that works so I stick with it! That said, I love the Del Monte Special and I order it right off the menu with no changes. To me, the mark that a restaurant hits has a lot to do with their consistency and I can say that the Erik's Deli at the outlets has nailed it every time I've had it and I'd say I've had it here at least a half dozen times. I've always had good, prompt service, and I'm surprised that this place isn't busier. If I had a critique of this location, I'd say that it's kinda dark and tired inside. It's looked the same for the last 20+ years and while I know it's part of their shtick, it's could use a bit of a refresh. read more

I really liked the sandwich here and the service was great. We came on a Thursday and it was super busy around 1-1:30pm. It's located in the outlet plaza, so there is plenty of parking. We ordered the pilgrim wrap and the chicken pesto. Both sandwiches were tasty, for what they were and met our expectations. Great chips selection and nice decor as well. read more

Placed an online order and I received more than I asked for. I poured the dressing into my salad bowl and started chomping away. I was about to put the next bite into my mouth and happened to look on my fork and THERE WAS A DEAD FUCKING MOSQUITO IN THERE...drenched in dressing and missing pieces of its wings. Called the store and was told they had no idea how it got there since the produce was washed in the morning. He apologized and offered to refund me the cost of the salad or any other item I'd want. Definitely took the refund as I'm not eating there again. read more

I've been going to this location since I was a little kid and the quality and service has unfortunately decreased. I understand that it's just a "sandwich restaurant" and of course it's not a fine dining establishment but a smile goes a long way. The server who took my order seemed like she had a rough day but a smile can make a difference. My sandwich, I usually get the raging bull, was cold and usually from past orders, it's toasted. The decor is the typical Western Style which is at every location. This place is definitely great for a quick bite but don't be offended if you don't get great service. read more

Wonderful good and the staff were very helpful and kind. Recommend for anyone coming to shop at the outlets

I really like to customer service. They are friendly and working really hard when it was busy. However, the sandwich was really dry. The pickle was warm. Add chili to my wife like the chili I don't like as much butter bread bowl that was decent. Environment was nice but a little bit warm inside. Overall, I wish I could give a better score because I love Am customer service read more

We stopped on the way to SoCal and wanted a sandwich. Food wasn't that great. Didn't have napkins available either. Not a fan unfortunately.

Ordered online today and the order was messed up. I love this place I really do but don't staple the receipt on my bag with what i ordered and put the wrong order in the bag. It's almost $12 a sandwich and when I get home and ready to have my REO I don't want a Pilgrims Progress marked REO. There's more to complain about but I'll just stop there. read more

I work near by and order online in the app. I love that they offer a points program and special deals. My order is always ready in a timely matter and the service is great. There was one occasion they called me due to not having avacado for my order, pilgrims progress (my usual). Luckily they called me and didn't just make the sandwich with no avacado, that's the best part. I quickly had to make up my mind and chose the chicken pesto sandwich which was delicious and will be a new favorite. The side salads are good too, fresh, I do miss the spoon full of pasta salad with the square meal in the salad. I also miss the pickle if I order the square meal. Either way I'll be back for sure. Thank you for being available during this hard time. read more

I really enjoy the sandwiches from here, today when I went the customer service ruined my experience. We walked in around 5:35 pm, I place my order; 2 sandwiches, 2 pasta salads and 2 drinks. The cashier asked "for here or to go". I responded "for here". She responded "we're going to wrap it to go because we close in 20 minutes". There were. Couple of people eating inside so we sat down and when our food came it was wrapped but not in a bag. We started to eat inside since other customers were still inside. Within 5 minutes they turned off the lights . It wasn't 6 pm yet. Around 5:50 a customer walked in and ordered a sandwich and the cashier stated "we're closed we already put away the stuff to make sandwiches". The customer looked at his watch and asked "you close at 6, are you closing early". The cashier responded "you can buy drinks". Obviously the customer left. After additional customers were coming in and the cashier announced "you can only buy drinks, and we are only taking cards". I understand employees want to start cleaning early to leave on time but you really don't need to turn off the lights. read more

A long time staple for a great sandwich. I love and recommend the Pot Belly or the REO Speedwagon. I really love the Natural High as well for a vegetarian option. Friendly staff and fast service. Perfect for lunch. I didn't give 5 stars because the bread was lightly coated with the secret goo. If you love condiments, as for extra. Family favorite, way better than subway! read more

I have been working from home and have been really lazy, so I would have their sandwiches through doordash several times a week. After several weeks of doing this, my conclusion is that 1. Overall the sandwiches are pretty good. All of the veg stuff tastes fresh, and the proteins are not bad. 2. In general, there's never enough meat on the sandwich, you have to go for extra meat to get a decent amount I didn't give them 5 stars because while 80% of my order will show up correctly, the other 20%. would show up wrong. Usually have something to do with my request for extra stuff or paid for extra stuff like extra meat. Anyway, 80% right is not bad these days, so I will continue to be their customer. read more

Pretty standard subs. Could use something that makes some kind of flavor pop out. Okay priced. Nice atmosphere in there, quiet, not too many people. Maybe a meat sandwich would be better,but veggie I think farmers market was the sandwich I got was so so read more

Really great for a quick and healthy bite if you're by the outlet! Try the Farmers market sandwich if you're veggie!

We had their vegetarian sandwiches and squash soup. The sandwiches are tasty and seemed healthy with the choice of ingredients. It was filling too and ambience was casual . Great choice after walking so much for shopping in the gilroy outlets area. One advice to the management: Dont heat the pita along with the alpha alpha sprouts. The sprouts give out a bad smell . They are super to eat raw along with a sandwich but not sure of their taste if they r kept for heating. read more

Erik's reminds me why no vegetable should be counted out! My love for (alfalfa) sprouts has been rekindled through the Chicken Pesto sandwich! For $7.39 you get a heated sandwich filled with copious amounts of Grilled Chicken Breast chopped up for ease of bite, smothered in Pepper Jack Cheese, both buns layered with "Erik's" Pesto (I guess because it's made on site?), on a Peppered Onion Roll with Red Onions (best onion option for sandwiches), Tomatoes and and Sprouts. Togo's used to have onion rolls but those days are long gone -- so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Erik's has a like roll. Bomb.com Other sandwiches include the secret "goo"... some form of mayo or aioli based goo? Whatever it is, it's mouth watering! We ordered a plain turkey and avocado with goo... and I think it had cilantro. GENIUS idea! Cilantro in mayo -- I am definitely going to attempt this at home. Then our meal truly hit a home run with the carrot cake. Homemade home run for sure! I wish there was an Erik's near my house... although my thighs might not appreciate all the carrot cake I would eat... so on second thought, perhaps it's better at a distance. Let's not forget the cute vintage-like character of the decor. Thumbs-up! read more
