Erbert & Gerbert’s

Just tried herbs and gerbs new hot sandwich called the Saturn. It was super yummy… the pepper jack cheese brings the sandwich over the top. Delicious! Staff rocks here as well!

We have stopped here for lunch over the past three years while in town for medical appts which is approximately three times a year. Location is convenient for us as it is not far from the clinic/​hospital. The ingredients listed for each sandwich is what you receive. Example, if your sandwich choice lists lettuce then lettuce is what you will receive even if you would prefer spinach as a substitute to the lettuce etc. You do make your bread choice but that is all as far as choices go on each sandwich. You can order sandwich add on’s but at a price. If you like to build your own sandwich, then this is perhaps not a place to choose and I would recommend Subway. It does remind me of an upscale Subway without the option of choosing what you want other than your bread choice. Their soups are very delicious, especially the Minnesota Wild Rice soup. If you choose to dine in the sandwiches are brought to you after you are seated at a table or booth. They do not offer an abundance of seating, but what they do have has been ample when we have been there over the noon lunch hour. Would not be a good option for a large group that wishes to dine at the location as their seating would not handle it. We have had good experiences with food, and service when we have eaten here. It’s a good choice for lunch. Not necessarily a place I would make as a dinner stop, but for lunch they have good food. Atmosphere is upbeat and décor is well done. We will return here for future lunch meals.

Decent. okay local spot. Kind of reminds me of subway, which is right across the street. Albert Lea isn’t necessary known for their local or healthy dining. Needed something fast before an event I was in town for, so I stopped at the first un-​chain place I saw. Anyway, enough about my situation… If your a vegetarian, like me, order the veggie sandwich — was good. But they are a little hesitant to customize it. If your down with deli meat sandwiches, this is your spot.
Two stars for cute décor! Another because they employe young ins — which means they give opportunities. :) and the fourth because they ended up letting me customize my all veggie sandwich.
