    We found this super fun deli and butcher shop thanks to the owner of one of the souvenir shops on the main street who recommended it - lucky us! We were there on a hot summer day right at lunchtime so we did have to wait a few minutes. The sandwiches are very generous and made to order, wrapped in butcher paper, and best enjoyed with a soda from the cooler on a picnic table out front. Cute inside and Guy Fieri has been here so they have a claim to fame!

    Ernest & Son is a great butcher shop and stop for homemade deli sandwiches, soups, local sauces and condiments. A great go-to for breakfast, lunch and dinner eats. The butcher side has fresh cuts of meats and steaks for purchase as well. And, if you are a big soup person like myself....there is a huge freezer full of frozen homage soups for purchase "to-go." The soup options were plentiful....from minestrone, vegetable soup, ham n' bean....to chicken noodle, New England clam chowder and chilli. There were plenty more options that I fail to mention here, but you get the point. After scoping out the place and the great selection of sandwiches.....I tried an amazing sandwich made of Roast Pork w/ Sharp Provolone & Broccoli Rabe! This sandwich was literally the best I've had!! Also, the eggplant sandwich sliced super thin....topped with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers was a hit. While waiting a frequent customer highly recommend the Corned Beef Special. Will have to try this next time for sure. One thing for sure..... I couldn't help but to notice how they pack their sandwiches with tons of meats and cheese! We ate the sandwiches outside at the storefront picnic tables and were stuffed. I even grabbed a couple of fresh butcher ground sirloin-chuck burger patties, homemade soups, and this incredible Vidalia Onion Steak Sauce that is really good....all packed nicely to take home back to DC. Now, I know why this not so hidden gem has been on the Food Network - Diner, Dives & Drives....and many other foodie shows several times! Oh! I noticed that there was a small buffet that was a popular "grab n' go" option with many patrons and locals. There was a steady flow of traffic and customers while I was there and I see why. This place is a hit in my book!....all thinks for the likings of "metatarians" and "foodies" alike. I highly recommend! And, this place will definitely be on repeat whenever I'm back in the AC! * ELITE TIP: Great deal on the Frozen Soups on Sundays. All Soups are buy 2 get 1 free on Sundays!!

    Very nice old school Itilian deli in Brigantine. The Italian hoagie or sub for $10.00 is very good and also reasonably priced for a shore location. There are a lot of options ar Ernest & Sons. Looking forward to trying other sandwiches.

    Great cheesesteak! Delicious...ate the whole thing! Good size for one person...the cheesesteak isn't 'massive' as others refer to the hoagies. Prices are up a bit from someone else's review. It was $9.75. On the day I was there, they had a 'special' for $12.99 for cheesesteak, soda and chips. I didn't like how multiple times they tried to push the special on me like it was included. In the store they had a ton of drinks, fresh pasta for sale, fruit salad, vegetables, chips, etc for sale. They also have meats and lunchmeat. Seating: There are few tables to eat at out front. Parking: street parking, free Bathrooms: none for customers

    Still my favorite in brigantine! Hell, probably my favorite in all of the tri state area! You cannot get a better hoagie. Quality is top notch. Freshly made right after you order. They slice meat and cheese specifically for your sub. I get the ham, salami and fresh mozzarella sandwich on an Atlantic City roll. Outstanding. Call ahead and order and pick up on your way to the beach!

    Fast and professional service. Great cheese steak. Very interested in their homemade jerky. They also have daily specials and - when I went their - a make your own hot roast beef sandwich buffet. Highly recommended!

    Quality, quality & quality! This is my go to place for sandwiches on Brigantine Island. Very popular, so be prepared to wait for deliciousness! He is also a butcher & has quality meats for purchase. They were featured on food network as well with Guy Fieri!

    Ordered takeout for the beach. Pickup is chaotic and takes a little while, but the sandwiches are super filling, same as the fries.
