Erik's Deli

Sandwich
By Christine Escobar

Erik's Deli is very popular with families and kids of all ages, as well as teens. Their moderately priced menu offers a huge variety of original sandwiches from prime rib dressed with garlic mayo to Erik’s famous chicken salad: a slightly crunchy blend of chopped mixed nuts, chicken breast, fresh dill and a light touch of onion.

With a children’s menu that is larger and more varied than others, kids can choose from anything from french toast sticks to pasta to fried shrimp. Best of all, kids eat free from the kids menu every Monday night with the purchase of an adult meal (one free kids meal per adult meal).

All sandwiches come with a choice of homemade potato chips (they're great with sour cream on the side) or fresh fruit. Help yourself to a sample of some of their homemade chips to help tide the kids over until the food comes. Adults will especially enjoy the hot items on the menu, such as Erik's crunchy honey fried chicken. A fresh tasting salad bar gives picky eaters lots to choose from including soft buttery breadsticks. Dessert bars are served year-round and ice cream is available in summer. Erik's serves brunch on weekends. An order-at-the-counter type of restaurant, service is reliable, fast and generally courteous.

Highchairs and boosters are available and a changing table is located in the restrooms.
