“ Best sub in town! That pepper steak is so good and so are their cold subs. A must stop in Greenville! ”
“ You can't go wrong with ordering from Ernie's! I discovered this place a couple of years ago while I was working in Greenville. At first glance you wouldn't realize what a gem it is, but the food is incredible! I'm a fan of their Pepper Steak AND the Cheese Steak sandwiches, ordered "all the way." They are absolutely wonderful and you won't find a sub this good anywhere else in Eastern North Carolina! Make sure to call and order ahead since they're made fresh and there's usually a line. It's first come, first served, like any restaurant, so plan ahead if your lunch break is short. It's an original walk-up grill, so seating isn't available inside. However it's covered to keep customers comfortable and out of the weather. ”
“ When I travel to see my family in Greenville, NC I always get at least one meal from Ernie's Famous Subs. With work I spend a lot of time in local restaurants all over the country and I can assure you that there isn't a better Peppersteak found anywhere! You MUST order it all the way .. the secret seasoning is amazing .. the banana peppers add the perfect touch and the bread is perfection! There is little seating at this local institution .. and always packed so call ahead 15 mins before you drive over! Can't wait to go back! ”
“ First timer here. I've had a lot of subs in my life. Their Peppersteak Sub with everything on it is easily in my top 3 all-time. Could very well be #1. I think bread is the make or break ingredient in a sub and I can say without a doubt that their bread is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Light, crunchy and soft all at once. It is ideal sub bread. The peppersteak juices that absorb into the bread with the perfect amount of mayo made every single bite spectacular. It's going to be difficult for me to not go here everyday for lunch while I'm in town. I cannot say enough. AND THE ONION RINGS!? Are you kidding me!? Easily the best onion rings on plant earth. I challenge you to find better. 11/10. Cannot score this "hole in the wall" gem high enough. Service was quick and efficient. Drop what you're doing and go NOW. ”
“ The best Pepper Steak in North Carolina! Not up for debate... Whenever we're in Greenville, we always buy 2. Although there's nothing like a fresh one straight out the oven.. Normally I don't eat Banana Peppers or Onions on a sandwich but at Ernie's: LARGE PEP STEAK ALL THE WAY PLEASE! ”
“ It's an institution! If you're from Greenville, NC or spend time in Greenville, NC then it is an IYKYK situation! I've been eating this since I was a little girl. I can't lie the taste has changed over the years. The Ernie's of today is not quite the same Ernie's from 40 years ago. The nostalgia is real! Pro tip: Call ahead. Give it 15-20 minutes before you head over. Yes, you can order in but you'll be waiting 15-20 minutes. No worries. They keep your sub warm in the oven. What you want is the large Ernie's peppersteak all the way. If you're 'llergic to onions then no onions is fine. Otherwise don't deviate. Wait. If you're weird like my sister and don't like "salad" on your sandwiches you can get meat & cheese. Oh, I don't know what peppersteak is! It favors ground beef. It's not shaved beef like in a cheesesteak. Don't question it. Just eat it! When I finally figure it out I'll update the review. But uh ruhhhh I've been eating these for easily 40 years and still don't know. ”
“ I rarely give 5 stars and this play deserves 6. An outstanding restaurant and definitely a hole in the wall place. On the outside it looks like a busted up shop and it is but the food makes up for it. Not a sit down place at all, great spot for lunch and the service was pretty decent. The value for this $11 meal is beyond me. I could stretch this out for 2 meals and I'd be good. The manager is really nice and was working the counter with a smile and passion. I highly recommend the small sub combo all the way, you won't regret it! ”
