Fantastic deli food, incredible service and beautiful day to sit at the tables outside. You definitively want to go hungry the sandwiches are huge. Ernie made his rounds twice ensuring all our needs where met. Incredible customer service, takes you back to the days of a local restaurant where everyone knows everyone and they are excited to invite new friends. Sorry no picture, it was eaten too fast. :)

Service was fun. The line was long. Only bad part was that the sandwich has to be eaten right away because it became very soggy when consumed later.

Meeting Ernie made the entire trip worth it. We have know about this spot for a very long time, but we finally were able to make our way over here to try the famous sandwiches. We had the honor of meeting Ernie himself and he was quite fun and very entertaining. We arrived right before the shop opened. Even standing in line was fun, we met many friendly people and heard a lot of stories about people's lives. A man who arrived the same time we did came all the way from Seattle to get a sandwich. The people working the shop and preparing the sandwiches were very friendly. They went out of their way to make up feel welcome, they even gave us a sample of the love seasoning on a cucumber to make sure we liked the taste. Since Ernie has taken a back seat to making the sandwiches, he was not there when we arrived, and they took pride in honoring all of his wishes, including, if it is your first time, he does not want your sandwich but, he wants you to fight through the monster. They had some delicious looking chips and cold salads and a case of beverages. But we just wanted the sandwiches. As they wrapped our sandwiches, that was when Ernie arrived. He made sure to talk to us, draw the hearts on the parchment paper, and make sure we were having a good time. We took them to the picnic tables outside. While Ernie was doing chores, he took some extra time to speak to us a bit more. He even greeted all of his neighbors in the area, he is the friendliest. The sandwiches were nice, piled high with meat, veggies, and mustard, mayo, love spice and olive oil. They were quite the battle to eat, of course there were leftovers. Ernie was a great host and hopes everyone returns soon.

Ernie himself makes this place a 10/10 but the subs...puts it over the top. These are the best subs Michigan has to offer - nothing fancy about them but oh so good. I live on the west side of the state but I make sure to stop by to get 2 subs every time I'm around Detroit. Ernie treats everyone like they are long time friends. One of the nicest, sweetest men you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Must try whenever you're in the area!! Yeah baby!

I've been to Ernie's market along time ago, but they're his sandwiches are banging. The service is absolutely gold mine, I like the old feeling the ambience of the old feeling of the old world really captures Ernie himself. I think the store that the deli the meats everything if you're looking for a really great sandwich and you're really hungry and you wanna spend some time in Oak Park then go here.

Everything was Awesome!!! The service was impeccable!!!! The food was flawless!!! And The Ambience was giving (Your About To Have The Best Lunch Of Your Life!!!!)

this is a great neighborhood sandwich shop that has achieved, at least in my eyes, iconic status. It's a little hard to find, but worth the trip. The tremendously - sized sandwiches are freshly-made in front of you, and are incredireasonably priced for what you get.

I didn't expect more than a great sandwich, but Ernie immediately introduced himself. A warm welcome, quality ingredients and a unique shop. We don't have Faygo soda in Texas and my son wishes he could try all the flavors. The raspberry crumble bar, by the cash register, was also fabulous. So glad I had cash on me since they don't accept credit. Worth the trip!

Today was my first time trying Ernie's and it did not disappoint!! The lady making my sandwich was very kind, and she makes one heck of a sandwich!! I got Turkey, salami, a bunch of veggies and the special spice mixture.... The spice was phenomenal!!! Not spicy - just so flavorful. They also have tons of chips and drinks inside to pair with your sandwich. Outside there are about 6 picnic tables to eat it! They were all super clean. Overall a great place to enjoy a lunch. I can't wait to come back!
