    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.

    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.

    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?

    Famers market sandwich for delivery-. 2/5 avoid.

    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.

    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!

    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.

The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and created a great atmosphere. I ordered the tuna sandwich, and my husband ordered the tuna combo. Unfortunately, neither of us was overly impressed with the taste. It may be because we were comparing it to a tuna sandwich we usually get from another deli, and this one just didn't quite live up to our expectations. We also tried the lemon pie and apple pie, which were both decent and made for a nice treat after our meal. Even though the food wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, I would definitely come back and try something different because the customer service and overall energy of the place were outstanding. Sometimes a great atmosphere and friendly staff are enough to make you want to give a place another chance.

It turns out they moved just to the other side of the parking lot a couple months ago. The way they operate is still the same, ordering sandwiches from one side and then the donuts from the other counter. Our go-to order is their Hot Pastrami on an Asiago Roll (it comes with bacon too, but we decided to opt-out). It's a hefty sandwich for what you pay for, it will leave you feeling full or packing it to-go for some goodness later! With a big change for them, we were worried the quality would have the chance of going downhill, but I'm happy to report that they're just as good as we remembered. :) Congratulations to them on their upgrade of a storefront!

I ordered the Godfather, which is supposed to be their specialty, and it was very disappointing. The meats seemed old, extremely fatty, and so chewy that I was unable to swallow them. Every meat on the sandwich was fatty, including the mortadella, which was unusually greasy and unlike anything I've seen before. The texture made the sandwich very unpleasant to eat. It also made me question whether the meats had been stored properly, though I can't say for sure. The bread was average and didn't seem very fresh either.

Hence why I stopped here one warm late afternoon despite having lots of food options in this downtown-y area. The Godfather ($15ish/5*) When I first try a deli I will usually try their Italian combo. It's a classic sub I love but honestly I find it hard to find an above average one. I'm not sure if the art of making one has been lost, but within the last decade or so, I strike out more than I get hits. Usually the meat to bread to produce ratio is off. Sometimes the meats are too salty/poor quality. Other times the sauce/dressing flavor is off. I am so stoked that I found a legit one here. They use prosciutto, mortadella and salami here, all my faves. I hate when a place uses American ham/cheese on an Italian sub. And all the meats are of quality, not too salty at all. Provolone was the cheese, textbook. I chose a sourdough roll and even though requires a good amount of teeth strength to bite off a piece and to chew, it was pretty damn satisfying. The interior is soft yet chewy. They definitely use a solid bread company. The bites were what I consider to be classic Italian sub flavors. No curve balls like pesto, red peppers or strong mustard. Just quality meats with great textures, fresh produce dressed in oil n' vinegar so it taste like a good salad. And the kicker that pleasantly surprised me were chunks of marinated artichoke hearts so this made you feel like biting into an antipasto platter just in sandwich form. So Damn Solid. Italian Sausage Sandwich ($15ish/4*). Even though solid I didn't love this as much as the cold sub. They ask what type of sausage mild or hot Italian. Chose hot, no surprise. They said this will take longer to make, like about 10 minutes. I chose a regular sweet French roll for this. Not as chewy as the sourdough roll, much softer but still has body. I liked the flavors of warm marinara with their unique sausage, quite classic once again. But the sausage they use is super thick like twice as thick as a common Italian sausage link. They do split it so it covers the bread but that sausage is one of the firmest textures I've ever had for a sausage. Sausage by nature because of the grind usually bites easily. Not here, I had to bite so hard that the meat couldn't stay in the bread. I think the casing was unusually tough for some reason. I eventually peeled it off. Decent flavors but problematic to eat cleanly. $35+ (after T&T) for 2 sandwiches seems pricey but really it is the new reality. 10 years ago this would have been about $20ish. Welcome to the new world order. Lol
