If you ever find yourself on the 99 and Waterloo for gas then stop in Ernie's for delicious deli sandwich. All the meats and cheeses on soft French rolls or bread of choice. They also have a daily special sandwich. I love the amount of meat and veggies and spread they use the ratios are perfect! read more

This establishment is very very fine. Leagues better than Subway. They have really great seasonal merchandise, including spicy fig jam, and made fresh sandwiches. Everything in there is Italian. One friend got egg salad with avocado. Another friend got a very saucy sandwich with meats and other finger, licking sauce. Myself got a vegetarian sandwich on rye. The bread was soft and cut to perfection. read more

Best sandwiches in the area. Great selection of meats, cheeses, and many other condiments for your liking. The store is also very interesting in general as they have a large assortment of items to just look at & be curious about. Staff is quite friendly as well. read more

Pit stop on our road trip needed some fuel for our Vehicle and for ourselves perfect stop for both. Saw on TIk Tok the sandwiches were good I love sandwiches so I needed to stop and try it out being from the Bay Area and grew up with 2 of the best sandwich spots (Little Luca and Darby Dans) I had to find a spot in the valley. I ordered a salami on Dutch crunch with the works and I will say it did not disappoint. You know a sandwich needs to be messy and this one was so I knew it would be good. My husband' had a turkey in sour dough and he is very finicky with everything he eats and well let's say there was not a crumb left We will definitely stop by in again when in the area I wished I took some photos but it smelled so good I couldn't wait to dig in read more

If I could give this little gem more stars I would. I work at a local business and was refereed to this location MULTIPLE times! Now I can see why. First off the store itself is amazing! Full selection of liquor, beer and wines, but then the deli..(my main reason for my visit) but was actually side tracked by the store itself!! The staff is EXTREMELY sweet & welcoming, the girls in the deli were ALL so sweet and helpful. The woman who made my actual sandwich, SORRY, I did not get your name but it was around 1:30 on a Thursday, you DID your thing. This was 1 of the top 3 sangwiches I ever had, just straight up PERFECTION 10/10 & this is a LEGIT review since I come from the Bay where the options go crazy! If you are in the area or just looking for a bomb spot to try, very HIGH recommendation you go to Ernies! read more

Don't sleep on the deli inside this place! Tri-tip Wednesdays are a must! Ribeye Thursdays are equally delicious! The rolls are so soft and fresh! I also like the chicken breast sandwich with Swiss cheese! They have a card you get stamped where you buy 10 deli sandwiches and you get your 11th free! Make sure to ask for your card and get it stamped every time you buy a sandwich . Trust me, after you eat one of their sandwiches you'll be going back for more so you might as well earn a free one! If you are lucky enough to catch the Rice Torta (Italian Rice Cake made with egg base similar to quiche but way better) being sold it is to die for! It is so good, I eat it hot or cold! Generous portion, and so moist! Get a couple squares, you will thank me later! The owner/operator of this local small business is found inside frequently, very friendly guy. Not sure about some of these other reviews that are being posted giving bad scores for the place being closed on the weekends (Businesses need to close when it is not profitable for them to stay open ) or no public bathrooms available (due to the transients I have seen many businesses moved to doing this especially when only one bathroom is available. It must be utilized by the employees only.). I've also seen other people comments about it being the best price and gasoline, and I can vouch for that. This is correct! Go here, get your gas, grab a sandwich and some Rice Torta from the Deli, and most importantly.... SUPPORT Small Local Businesses! read more

I've been a long time customer of Ernies. I used to come for the sandwiches but I don't live close by. You can get decent priced gas if you use cash. On occasion he would do fuel discounts and have cars lined up for cheap gas. He's actively working in the store and easily recognizable by the mustache. I've never had an issue in this store. As you can see, its been seemed the lucky lotto spot. read more

I ordered a couple sandwiches from their deli and they were very good. Definitely a revisit!

This place is awesome with the only downside being yelp has the hours of business incorrect. If you're headed here for the cheap gas (pay in cash), the actual store needs to be open which it is not later in the evening, on holidays and such. The sandwiches are great, the employees are great and you can always pick up a much needed random little item if the occasion calls for it. It is cramped inside so be patient. read more

Gayle and I stopped here for gas on the way back from the Bay Area to Genoa Nevada. PRO - Competitive fuel price CONS 1. Gas pumps are positioned in slanted rows, making safe access from the road problematic. I actually got blocked in before I could reach a pump and needed to back out. 2. No public rest rooms, even for paying customers. read more

Spent $25 in gas $20 in food and they guy refuses to turn the air on for my tires What a jerk read more

All the workers here are really nice people - I stop here everyday omw to work they go out of their ways to help me as I am disabled currently. The food is good always and I love the specials and the good variety of drinks and snacks. Also you pay less for everything from food to gas if you pay with cash! The food prices are good compared to others on this strip but are my go to because of the quality. You feel like your eating good food that someone made fresh that day. read more

This is maybe the third time we have gotten to eat these delicious sandwiches and they never disappoint! Outside of Italy, and like two places in us, this is the best place for true Italian deli and snacks. In addition to our sandwiches, I loaded up on special stocking stuffers of Italian candies, jams, and jarred items. The grocery store has many unique items. The people are friendly and you get the feeling it is a family vibe. The hours can be a challenge as they don't open on weekends, but hey, I don't blame them for not doing so if they don't have to, and judging by how busy they always are, they seem fine. Go if you can, and try the Dutch crunch bread! So good!! read more

No public bathroom even if you pay for gas? Also, outside trash can was either already full by 9am on a Sunday or not emptied. Trash was full and overflowing. read more

Sandwiches are great.. pizza was better than expected. Good ingredients. Pepperoni was spicy according to my wife. Some will say skimping on topping others will say a good balance of topping. Crushed chili flake and garlic salt of sorts are supplied to top your pizza. Pizza is fairly tin crust ok crisp and not soggy. Next time i will ask for well done. That's just a preference. It was tasty and was elevated it with the supplied ingredients. 12" Pepperoni, mushroom, olives and mozzarella cheese. . $11.99 plus tax. My bad for what it is. read more

The sandwich and customer service in the deli - excellent! The customer service at the front cashier - horrible. I ordered a peppered turkey with pepper jack which as unique, fresh, and very tasty. It came with a flavorful pesto spread, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, avocados, and black olives, which is a pretty unusual yet very delicious combination. I heard about this place from an influencer who reviewed their sandwiches and I made a special trip over there just to get it. The staff in the deli were super friendly and attentive. However, when I went to the front counter to pay, the old white, grey-haired man, sitting in the chair at the register was unwelcoming and rude. But I know he has the capability to be nice because I just witnessed him chatting it up with a customer that held up the line for 5 minutes. When it was my turn, I was the one who greeted him with a hello and a smile, but got nothing from him in return. I then asked if they take Apple Pay and he didn't respond. So after an awkward silence I repeated myself and he replied "hmph, yes", as if he was annoyed I asked. I left feeling his bad energy. I shook it off but that part of my experience was not good. read more

1st time here and definitely coming back! I had good service at both the deli in the back and at the cashier. Rather get my sandwich where than Subway! read more

My coworkers and I come here every once in awhile to get sandwhiches, and the sandwhiches are always great, just not so much the customer service. But today my co-worker basically ate a vegetable sandwich because her pastrami was all fat. I understand pastrami is a fatty cut but this is ridiculous. read more

The old man owner is the biggest jerk, was so rude to me when I paid for gas, looked at me like I was stupid and told me to put my card in when the machine wasn't ready and acted like it was my fault, no, u weren't paying attention, then I paid, removed my card and said I didn't need a receipt, he says it hasn't gone through, I tell him I have enough to pay for it, not a problem, it's not like I can get the gas without it goi g through, he then rudely says to me, that's what they all say, how dare you speak to me like that, of course my card went through but I'll never spend another dime here, After my card cleared I said some thing about how rude he was when I first put my card in and asked for gas kindly and he still wasn't apologetic for his rude unprofessional behavior read more

Love Ernie's! The Italian sandwiches are the best! All their food is great! And they carry hard to find imported products from Italy.

The sandwiches here are F I R E. Kind of a hole in the wall place, I'd have never noticed it if I didn't need to stop on the next closest exit to get gas. Mike & Mark are a bag of laughs, they sell a good amount of select alcohol too. Second time grabbing a sandwich here while I was in the area, def. worth a try. read more

I have no idea why there's so many negative reviews. So the workers aren't as talkative as you'd like them to be, oh well. No public bathrooms? Who cares? With the way people leave bathrooms nowadays I don't blame them. Their sandwiches are some of the best I've had and affordable too. Keep up making those bomb ass sandwiches!! read more

Best sandwiches in town. This is not your average gas station. If you're looking for a good deli sandwich, try this place. They are a lil bit pricey and not always consistent with the pricing but I'd still go back so that much vouch for something. read more

Customer service was inpatient rude, felt like I was rushed came in at 5:40pm while the sign on the door clearly says 6:00pm close. I was harassed over miscommunication because I did use the sign saying that there was a 90cent charge since I have albinism and I am legally blind, this is the worst store I have ever went to what a rude bunch of people. read more

They don't have a public bathroom.... being that close to the freeway and offer gas but no restroom. Hwy 99 is a busy freeway . Doesn't make sense not to offer a restroom. I wouldn't recommend taking your business on this area. Only place with a restroom was subway. Go there! read more

If you're driving off highway 99N by Stockton and in need of a snack, this is your stop. Found Matilde Vincenzi Italian cookies in a beautiful tin; nicely packed-not-stale-inside and my husband loved them. There's plenty of snacks to select from in this little treasure. Tried their salami sandwich and it was good. Tried the prosciutto but wasn't cut as thing as they do in San Francisco but it was good. They have an extensive Murano glass collection, good selection of Italian liquors and the Italian sorbeto gelato is yummy-careful, because it sells quickly even in the winter. read more

Closed at 1429. Lights on but no one home. Went across street to the extra mile and got what I I needed. Should have started there.

This place is a real gem. Cheaper gas than most places. Seems to be independently owned. I like to stop here any time I'm driving to Kirkwood from the Bay Area. They don't open their general store if you are there really early (like before 8 perhaps), but you can still get gas and then stop next door at McDonalds for a quick sammy. When the store is open, their deli here is really good. A sweet roll and fresh ingredients are tailored for a nice lunchtime treat on the mountain, saving me tons of cash. While they are making it, wander around the store. You will be surprised what you can all find in here. $400+ bottles of scotch, 12 pound roasts, crock pots, two types of garlic presses, Christmas ornaments, various chachkes, etc, etc, etc. I would bet if wanted it, they would have it. In short, this is not your average general store. If I lived near, I'd be a frequent patron. read more

Great food. Strange creepy 1970s truckstop vibe. But it is a gas station. It is best the call in your order or you will have to wait a while. read more

Warning: they charge you more for gas per gallon than what you had picked on the gas grade buttons! I selected 87 at 2.19 and I was charged 2.39. See evidence: 87 was selected and lit, 2.39 was charged. Shady. read more
