Erbert & Gerbert’s Sandwich Shop

We recently moved to Wausau from Eau Claire and didn’t realize they had an Erberts & Gerbets until we were driving around.
The atmosphere was quiet and clean.
Our sandwiches were fresh and made neatly and quick.
We had a great employee helping us and she explained how their newer lobster sandwich was similar to the old geeter (my favorite)
I can’t remember her name, but she had red hair and was very nice with not only my hubby and I, but towards our daughters as well.
We will be going back :)

Cute shop. Cute theme. Love the stories and the names of the sandwiches that go along with them. But the sandwich itself was just ok. Nothing special. Quite honestly if I had to choose between the veggie sandwich at Erbert and Gerbert’s or Jimmy John’s, I’d choose Jimmy Johns. They were very similar but I prefer the JJ bread. My daughter had the chicken noodle soup with half a sandwich. She liked both but said «I think there were 6 noodles» in the broth.

Absolutely love this place! Great spot in downtown Wausau for delicious soups and sandwiches! Recommending it! Especially the cheddar and brocolli soup + the jacob bluefinger sandwich for my vegetarian fellas!

Great soup and sandwich. Here from Houston and stop by downtown for lunch. Very fresh and nestle in downtown by the square.

Unique sandwich shop with quality ingredients!

While not as large as a Subway sandwich E&G’s subs are much tastier. There’s the rub… the prices seem a little high for the portions. However the food is so good and the bread is much better than a Subway.
In the end I give 4-​stars because I’ve gone back quite a few times so I must like it. The soups are good even though they’re probably just Sysco or Reinhardt commerical soups.
The theme of the place being that Erbert & Gerbert are brothers and the sandwiches are named after characters from the stories that their dad told them as boys is unique. The stories, and artwork, adorn the walls and are fun to read and look at while you wait or eat.
My one complaint is that they’ve screwed up my order a couple times. More than once they’ve had it sit there where I could see it because they thought it went with another order. Or they’ve forgotten my soup (or gave the wrong size). Small things but with repetition they get noticed and remembered.
Still I’d recommend the place any time.

Awesome subs and soups! Good prices. Quick friendly service. A Downtown Wausau staple!

Man this is the best sub I have ever had!

Great alternative to Subway. Lots of uniquely named sandwiches (We luv the Tappy). Central downtown location open late and handy for all the 400 block events. Also like how the restaurant makes use of the old downtown building it’s housed in.

Three stars or four stars, that is the question.
I’ve eaten subs there many times. There are about 15 – 20 different sandwiches available with cutsey names like the Narmer.
In the last year or so I have hungered for more variety. So I have tried other places.
Their bread is very good. Fixings are very fresh. I love their deli style pickles. I have never tried their soups.

Excellent tasting subs. You’ll never go back to generic Subway again. The downtown location is open late and rarely busy, so stop in and enjoy. They also deliver.
Note that this place is on 3^rd Street (on the East side), not on 3^rd Ave as the map incorrectly shows.
