I've loved Erik's Deli since trying a sandwich in 1978 at their first tiny location in Scotts Valley! And this one in the Plant shopping center on Curtner is equally delicious. One of my favorites is the REO. Fresh tasty food always!!
Great place to grab a soup and sandwich for lunch. The best part about the experience is the service. Gerardo and Mayra are usually working when my friends and I go in and they are awesome. Quick and quality service. 10/10 would recommend.
I'm not sure why the low ratings, as I had a pretty good dine-in experience here for a mid-week lunch with a friend. The person at the register was quite nice and showed above average customer service of bringing out my food when it was ready (literally in 5minutes), offering me a water cup when I declined to order a drink, as well as taking back my tray and remainder of my trash items when I was done. I say above average because in take-out restaurants, I rarely see workers do that anymore lol. The food was about 4/5.
i went to erik's deli last week for a sandwich and slice of carrot cake. i enjoyed my sandwich but not my carrot cake. i stuck my fork in it and discovered it was all moldy. very disappointed since i paid $5.49 for it. i went online and contacted erik's ... describing how disgusted and disappointed i was with my dessert. days later, the manager Gerardo reached out to me and apologized and invited me back to rectify the situation. i went back today and spoke with Gerardo for a while. He's been with Erik's for 24 years and only recently acquired this location. he actually thrives to please patrons and help when he can. thank you Gerardo for reaching out to me and fixing the situation. the on the house salads was amazing along side the fresh slice of carrot cake. i'll be sure to support this location when i'm in the area.
Service, food, and price are perfect for lunch!! When I walked in, was greeted and asked if I got any questions. When we asked what you have for soup or salads, he explained and showed in a kind way. Food is hot and delicious and for the price it's prefect. It's not a cheap McDonald's lunch or a high end restaurant. The inside was clean and the guy who helped us did everything from bussing, taking orders, making our food, and being in all around amazing shift lead!! All in all, I definitely recommend this place for a quick bite or a nice lunch date.
Ordered DoorDash because we were feeling under the weather. We ordered the half sandwich and half soup combo. 1. chili and R.E.O Speedwagon 2. clam chowder and Chicken Durango 3. tomato bisque and Rio Grande Club You can pick any type of bread you'd like, opt for a wrap, or a whole wheat pocket. Do not ever order the pocket ever. It was dry and crumbly and the filling was very slim, it was 80% gluten to filling ration. Stick w/ white, wheat, sourdough or rye bread. My tomato bisque was creamy and delicious. I did not try the clam chowder or the chili, but the chili came w/ chopped onions and shredded cheddar cheese in a side cup which I thought was a nice touch even though the food was ordered via a third-party food service.
We were craving something light and delicious, so the BF and I decided to have dinner at Erik's Deli! I must say, their sandwiches are great! I love the option of getting half a sandwich and a cup of soup! It fills me up just right to where I don't feel so stuffed and unable to move. This Erick's Deli is located at The Plant shopping center, parking can be congested in the front of store, but can always find parking in the back.
