Foxspit was kind enough to drop me this quick review of Erbert and Gerbert's:
Erbert & Gerbert's was good. The sandwiches are HUGE, almost too much to eat. I had the "Narmer," a turkey sandwich with provolone, tomato (which was fresh!) lettuce, mayo (a little too heavy), avacado and sprouts. The sandwich was good. I liked that it filling but not a real mess to eat. The turkey is sliced pretty thin but there seemed to be enough meat. The flavor was good. Side choices of chips or soup were good.
If I had a do-over I'd add some mustard. A nice touch would be a condiment stand where you can add seasonings, if you so desire, to your sandwich. The lobby is congested enough, however, that a condiment stand would only make things worse.
There is also a Java Zone coffee shop in the restaurant. It wasn't getting a lot of business over the lunch hour but maybe it will draw business when the restaurant is slow.
I was underwhelmed when I heard another sandwich shop was opening up downtown. I actually liked Erbert and Gerbert's. The sandwich combo was around $7.50. Not bad. Planet Sub offers a much cheaper lunch option when you order the day's special, but I suspect people will keep E&G's busy.
If today was any indication, the restaurant seemed to attract Lincoln's most attractive women for lunch ... reason enough for me to go back and try it again.
I'm a simple man.
