Erbert And Gerbert’s

Eh. Sandwich was made quickly (Narmer) but maybe too quick. There was avocado spread all over the bread. What a mess. Friendly staff and clean place but I’d rather go to Jimmy John’s.

I got the Apollo. The bread was good but they forgot the cheese and they only put one slice of meat on it. I was pretty much just eating bread, lettuce, tomato, guacamole and BBQ sauce (which is an odd combo). Will be my first and last time eating there unfortunately.

On a cold day in December I stumbled into E & G’s after finding out Port-​A-​Subs didn’t offer soup and Subway still hadn’t finished making the soups for the day at 12:30pm. I was delighted to find that E&G’s offers up to 6 soups and chili. The chili was amazing. I could tell the chili was homemade and not a food product. I have been pleased with the other soups as well. Today I went back to try the Quattro (my first sandwich order). The mix of mayo and cranberry wasabi dressing is addicting. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is the service. The order-​takers have always been very nice and helpful. However, since it is an open kitchen, many of the rest of the staff have a less-​than-​enthusiastic demeanor about them. It’s never been busy when I have been there during my lunch break, so they appear bored and uninterested in their job. Perhaps they have school and exams on their mind (assuming they hire ASU students being so close to the University). I just feel uncomfortable at times going in there, especially expecting smiles and getting blank expressions and frowns. In comparison, Port-​a-​Subs and Subway have far more excitable staff. Still, the soups and sandwiches will tempt me to surely return. Very clean establishment as well.

I wish I could comment on everyone’s reviews who say this place is just like Jimmy John’s to tell them they’re crazy. These subs are unique (the cranberry wasabi sauce is delicious!) and the bread is soft and delicious. I literally came here because I didn’t want to go to Jimmy John’s and I got what I wanted! Can’t wait to come back and try something new!

I have ordered sandwiches from here for months now and I love their friendly customer service! I always get The Flash with avocado, bacon, and banana peppers. I swear it tastes better every time I get it. My order is never wrong and they are so speedy with deliveries. I’ve never been disappointed! Keep up the awesome work guys! And thanks for the delicious sandwiches!

I happened upon this place while on Mill to get some ice cream with the boyfriend. We had to park sort of far and we ended up right in front of Erbert and Gerbert’s. We popped in to see what was good, I’m a fan of cold cuts and subs and decided that we’d give this place a try. It wasn’t bad overall for the price. The sandwiches themselves are chocked full of lots of veggies and stuff as standards but the amount of meat was a little lacking. I’m also terribly picky so without the stuff that I don’t like on the sub, they tend to come out even thinner.
Overall a nice quiet little shop, but if you’re picky about what goes on your sandwich this place doesn’t leave much room for customization aside from removing ingredients and paying more for more of whats on it.
The boyfriend liked it, so I’m sure we’ll be back again. I’ll just have to try some of the cheaper options.

Has the potential to be great. Bread was good but there was only 1 thin slice of meat on the sandwich. I actually thought they forgot to put the meat on the sandwich at first.

Best sandwiches in tempe and im only saying this because im tired of the other sandwhich shops and their gourmet shit. I just want a normal cold sub that isn’t jimmy johns or subway. I love that they give you the innner bread piece with your sandwich. The sandwiches are not sloppy like jimmy johns, and they taste way BETTER than jimmy johns and subway. Plus delivery is fast and the subs are packed so tightly. Definitely recommend this place!

I generally don’t like sandwich shops because I feel like I can make something at home that is better. However, E&G make some freaking awesome sandwiches that are several notches above ordinary. They also have gluten free for celiacs and actually take every precaution to avoid cross contamination. All around awesome owners too. Really nice, with great service.

Meh is the perfect description. I go in here often, and you get what you pay for (decently cheap). The free student drinks are a great perk, but the sandwich are bland. You can pay more for one of their upgraded sub concoctions, but at that point you might as well just go to Ike, s or even sub factory.

They are the best sandwich shop around. by far, the greatest sandwich shop ever. The price you pay, the unique flavor explosion that occurs in my mouth with every bite from every one of their unique sandwiches (and i’ve had them all), and ease of delivery makes for the best day of my life– every time I order from them. Erbert & Gerbert– these are the names of my future children, regardless of gender. Thank you for giving me infinite reason to continue living.

I come here all the time, mostly ordering multiple sandwiches at a time. They were out of wheat bread which is the only type of bread I can eat. When asked if there was anything else that they could substitute or offer me because of the inconvenience they said only for an additional charge. Good to know they appreciate costumer loyalty.

Food is good and delivery is fast. However, all of the drivers are super rude about the coupons. Like come on… no one is trying to rip you off… You’ll get your stupid coupon back!!! It’s like they expect you to not have the coupon when they ask for it. They next time I order I will not be tipping! How about the next few times to get my point across!

When this restaurant first opened up, they were giving away promotional half-​sandwich samples. The sandwich was really good, different from the typical Jimmy John’s or Port of Subs taste that I’m used to as a college student.
I decided to go there and purchase a full meal. Their chips are okay, and their soda drinks are the same fountain drinks you would find anywhere. The ambiance is very «sandwich shop-​esque» inside, nothing too fancy or ornate, although the outside seating area is nice. I tried their iced tea, which was actually really good for fast food tea. The sandwich that I purchased was a really good spicy-​chicken sandwich with blue cheese. The flavors work very well, and the choice of honey wheat as a bread is great. I think one of the most unique things they do is give you the extra bread they scoop out of the sandwich as dip or just to munch on (the bread that Jimmy John’s profits off of by selling as sliced bread). Every other sandwich that I’ve had here is delicious.
Honestly, it’s a blessing to have this place open, seeing as Jimmy John’s ravages my stomach and leaves me feeling queasy with their not so fresh ingredients
The staff there are all very friendly, energetic, and talkative. They are quick in preparing sandwiches. If it weren’t for recent developments, they would have 5 stars in my book. However, they stopped preparing Tea, which is the only thing there that I would want to drink (not a soda fan, allergic to lemonade/​powerade). They also stopped putting the sandwich scoops in with the sandwiches, which was my favorite part.

I was there the other night for the first time. I don’t really like going into Tempe, but for those who are used to it (my daughter is graduating from ASU this year), this is a great place. The parking was a lot easier than I thought it would be, attached to the building and free for the first hour, so whew, it wasn’t too hard to meet my daughter there. My husband used to really like Jimmy Johns, (decent), but their food doesn’t compare and DEFINITELY nothing like a Subway for which I was grateful.
I ordered the Titan, which has a pesto mayo (love pesto) and heard from the young gentleman serving me that they had potato soup. He explained they carve out a portion in the bread for soup dipping. O.k., so normally I love potato soup, not so much so in a restaurant of this type, so I wasn’t entirely sold, but decided to give it a try.
It is a loaded potato soup (don’t know if it’s available all the time), but it was absolutely surprisingly delicious. I would most definitely order that any time it was available, I didn’t notice what other soups they had, because Potato is my favorite. I love dried tomatoes and pesto mayo. This is what sets them above what might be considered a typical sandwich shop. I want to try several other sandwiches, and like the versatility of the sauces like cranberry wasabi, that is one I think I’d like to try also.
I wish my business was closer, I’d order in :) I think you will be pleasantly surprised. The staff was extremely personable.

Think of this as Jimmy Johns with wheat sub roll. The place is an exact copy of Jimmy Johns. From the menu, to the look, the atmosphere, even the receipt is similar.
The sandwich was fine, nothing special. the strange part was that they give you the inside of the bread that they removed (see pic). I didn’t need it but it was different.
This location probably won’t last because there is an actual Jimmy Johns on Mill that will get all the passers by. This location is not in a very accessible location when there is a lot of traffic.
E & G’s is good if you are walking by and need a quick sandwich but don’t make a special trip.

I’ve been coming to E&G pretty much every day since they opened up here.
I had never been to an Erbert & Gerbert’s until I moved out here, and I’m glad that I finally got to experience them.
The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, clean and looks good, the staff are always really cool and nice to me, and I see the manager up at the front talking to customers every time I’ve ever been.
I’ve tried a few of the sandwiches and surprisingly I’ve liked them all quite a bit! Even the PB&J!
Tonight I got the Narmer but substituted the regular mayo for their pesto mayo and added their tasty peppadew mustard. I’d never had peppadew before coming here, and now I can’t get enough!
I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good sandwich spot!

Being from MN originally I was already familiar with Erbert & Gerbert’s but it’s been years since I’ve been to one so I was very surprised to find one here! My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday. This place is small! But it wasn’t very busy so seating wasn’t an issue.
I got a half Narmer, which is turkey with avocado, and a cup of chicken and wild rice soup. The soup was delicious. A mainstay up in MN or WI, not too many places here do wild rice soup and this was done just right. The sandwich was just pretty good. The funny thing is that like most sub shops they cut out the center of the bread, but here they give it to on top of your sandwich. Which worked out great for dipping in soup! Anyway, like I said the sandwich was pretty good. The ingredients tasted fresh enough but I wanted the French bread to be a little softer. The bread at Jimmy John’s is super soft so I was hoping for something similar. But overall, it was a solid sandwich.
There is a lot of competition when it comes to sandwich shops in downtown Tempe now but I think there’s a place for E & G. Especially if you’re looking for a sandwich on the go.

This store just opened and it’s terrific! With a great selection if sandwiches from classic to signature, the real problem is making a choice. Located close to campus with plenty of parking it’s easy to get to. Patio seating under a sunshade or inside in the cool air conditioning.
Even better: they offer delivery and stay open until 3am everyday.
The service is friendly and quick. The store is brand new and clean. The sandwiches and soups are spectacular.
I highly recommend.

Wow… We didn’t think a sandwich could be this pitiful. Somehow, these funny named little fellas found a way! Tasteless «French» bread combined with scant meat and scarcely any toppings makes for an unhappy patron. The only minor bright spot in the meal was the soup, but then again, when you pay close to $ 13.00 for a wich combo, cup of soup and a drink, you certainly expect something better! We would say that this is mostly on par with Subway only for half the amount of food and almost twice the cost. We certainly wish Erbert & Gerbert’s all the best and hope our experience was just an opening day fluke! These new 5 star reviews seem totally contrived, but we’ll be back in about a month or two to check and see.
