Small market serving up BIG sandwiches in a quiet neighborhood on the edge of oak park/ferndale. The market itself seemed to have drinks and ice cream, with the sandwich area in the back. It was my first time in and the ladies working the sandwich counter could tell, but they were super nice when explaining how it works and making suggestions. Although, she wouldn't cut my sandwiches in half because it's custom that "newbees" don't get their sandwich cut in their first order Don't look at the Ernie's market "website" as it's a scam and the sandwiches are on there don't exist when ordering. Ernie's market serves "build your own" sandwiches sort of like subway. From my understanding, the monster and baby monster sandwiches have specific meats and you add your veggies? I think they could take their sandwiches up a notch by offering a toasted sandwich option, but once you see what they're working with inside, it's not expected to get it toasted, lol. I got a single turkey sandwich on an onion roll, American & Swiss was suggested, and I got lettuce, onion, Tom, pickles, cucumbers, mayo&mustard, and they told me I HAD TO GET the "love spice" so I did. The sandwich was HUGE. Incredible sandwich made with lots of love! I'll definitely be back. Thank you to all the kind people who work there! I wish I got to meet Ernie but maybe next time

A hidden gem in metro Detroit. If you're in the area Ernie's doesn't disappoint. Bring your appetite.

First time at Ernie's Market and got to meet Ernie in the flesh!!! Friendly staff and the sandwich was amazing!! If there is such a thing as deli heaven...it was experienced today. Bless Ernie and his staff. -T. Robinson

Love Ernies Great sandwiches I order ahead to avoid the line , haven't been in awhile think I will give them a call oh yeah and they were reasonable!

Ernie's Market is a place I've been to many times. The staff is always excellent. They are kind and extremely helpful. It's always clean and consistent. The sandwiches and side options are plenty. Only high quality and fresh ingredients are used. You have to check out Ernie's next time you're in Detroit.

Ernie's is one of my favorite places ever. The sandwiches are the best and if you are lucky enough to catch Ernie there, it makes your day, week or even month. Ernie brings so much joy anytime you see him. Hes amazing and the sandwiches are too!

It lived up to the hype! I got the Ernie's Monster with everything, and it was a huge sandwich! The meats were excellent, the veggies fresh and cheese pairing perfect! The onion roll was soft and fresh, and I had them make it with all the condiments and Ernie's spice mix. And for those who complain about the price, for what you get it's priced good. Everyone wants gourmet food at fast food prices and that's what kills these businesses. They offer a high quality product, it's going to cost a bit more. But I would rather keep a business like Ernie's going than force them to compromise on quality ingredients! And as a plus I got to meet Ernie and shake his hand! The staff was excellent and I highly recommend you give it a try! I am looking forward to trying more from here and spending my money on a local business/institution!

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.
