    Pastrami
    Stephen E.

    Golds Deli is a staple of my trips to Columbia. The owner is fantastic to discuss with and really wants to have a unique deli experience for the Columbia population. The food is ALWAYS so fresh and delicious, I typically get the Italian sandwich, but I opted for the Golds special sandwich this time. When I say this sandwich is massive, I am talking pounds of pastrami/corned beef. Typically not a cole slaw fan but adds a nice textural difference for this sando, the thousand island was a nice addition as well. You can either sit in at the counter and chat with the staff, or take it to go. It gives a new modern take on the old school deli counter seat. Seating is super limited! Maybe 10 seats total in the entire place.

    Great classic sandwiches with generous amounts of meat. They have a gluten free bread option on smaller bread but they make you two sandwiches so it's the same equivalent size. I had the Reuben on gluten free bread and it was delicious. I had enough left over for another meal. You can eat out on their little sidewalk area (there is limited seating inside or go around the corner to the green area with picnic tables.

    I drove here from downtown Nashville and this sandwhich definitely lived up to my expectations. It was fresh and had a little kick to it. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I must say at all costs get the potato salad. It is SO good. I can't say I will always make the hike down here but if I'm in the area I will certainly swing by to give Abe's favorite a try

    The Original: hot corned beef piled high and rye bread with Swiss. Don't forget to order a cream soda and coleslaw.

    A Hidden Gem in Columbia! We recently stopped by this New England-style deli, and let me tell you, it was an experience worth sharing! I had The Original sandwich -- warm corned beef on rye with Swiss cheese -- and it was absolutely outstanding. The corned beef was tender, perfectly seasoned, and piled high on the bread. Every bite was perfection! The pickles were also fresh and tasty and the cole slaw was authentic, creamy deli style. My husband couldn't stop taking bites of mine. We got to sit at the counter, which was a nice touch, and I loved the cozy, old-school vibe of the place. To wash it down, I had a cold bottle of cream soda. The service was quick and friendly - but make sure to get there early as a line does form and they can sell out of deli meat. We were in and out in no time, but I still felt like I got a true deli experience which I had missed living in Nashville. Can't wait to go back again. If you're in Columbia, don't miss this spot!

    The sandwiches are stacked with meats. I ordered the pastrami and it was delicious and not fatty like some other sandwich shops. Quick service and very friendly. I will be back.

    Italian = huge!

    Still the best in Columbia. We had the Original this weekend. Enough for 2 meals. Delicious. Line out the door and deservedly so! This place is FANTASTIC!

    Abe's Fav! The sandwiches are amazing! Great prices and the owner and staff are extremely friendly.

    If you're in Columbia stopping by gold's Deli is a must. The prices are amazing for the sandwiches that you get. Definitely check out Abe's Fav. The owner is extremely friendly and so is the staff.

    My 1st time here! I ordered the Fat Andy.

    I learned about Gold's Deli from one of my customers a couple of years ago. She said it was THE BEST deli in Middle Tennessee. I love trying out new places to get my grub on, and she wasn't lying! Their sandwiches are incredible. Some might say they're "pricey" but not for the amount of food you get!! Their sandwiches are huge and are often enough food for two! I have quite the appetite, so that's saying a lot for me. If you don't take it to-go, there's a bar that you can sit at to enjoy your food, or you can take it outside to the picnic tables around the back on a nice day. I usually order the FAT ANDY on a Sub Roll with Turkey, Pepperjack Cheese, Jalapenos, Lettuce, Jalapeno Chips, and Chipotle Mayo, but all of their sandwiches are amazingly delicious and quite filling. Be sure to bring your appetite!

    The Original. Hot Pastrami with spicy mustard.
    Ty S.

    Probably the best sandwich shop I have ever been to. I love me some pastrami and they did not disappoint. Friendly service with a HUGE sandwich. It seems like all the sandwich shops are now skimming on the meat, but not this place. They filled that sandwich so full I couldn't only eat half. Which was great because I had a half for dinner. It's not a big place so don't come looking for tables to sit back and relax. They have 4-5 barstools at the counter and that's it. It was great for us because we got to eat and chat with them. If you are looking for a large deli style sandwich, this is your place. Definitely worth the drive if you are not local to Columbia, TN.

    This place is exactly like their slogan; small but mighty. You walk in and are promptly greeted by the friendly staff. You can eat at a couple counter bar stools or order to go. The menu is not vast, but the sandwiches are. I don't even know how I finished a whole one for lunch and dinner and I don't regret it either. The sandwich was piled high with warm corned beef and the Swiss cheese was slightly melty, over the dressing and sauerkraut. It's one of the best I've ever had. I can't even describe how much meat is on it. You can share a half with someone easily! Everyone was fantastic and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

    The New Kid
    Ryan B.

    My foodie family came by today and ordered five sandwiches. I customized the special and put it on a hoagie. Absolutely loved it. It could've used a third more dressing, but it was just fantastic. I look forward to having another , and I'm excited to live in Columbia soon to make that easier. My wife (who runs a from-home bakery) and daughter ordered The New Kid on sourdough. The sourdough is the one downer we had with Gold's. It's dry and takes away from the other quality ingredients. Fixing the bread is an easy fix. Think about this if you're not highly committed to what you've got.

    "The Original" Pastrami

    Gold's Deli does not disappoints. We had "The Original" today which is a pound of pastrami on rye bread and deli mustard! A meal for 2 people to share! The rest of the family shared the "Reuben". George makes some outstanding sandwiches. Line today was out the door at lunchtime.

I have been recommended this place by multiple people throughout the years and finally got a chance to give it a try. (Well, I say that but mainly because I go to Gold's Deli everytime I'm in Columbia. So it was time to share the love) They have a pretty large menu of various sandwiches, I wish I had grabbed a picture of them. I asked the cashier if she had to pick one sandwich which one would it be, she gave me a list of about 3 that all sounded amazing. The fourth she suggested was if you're overwhelmed or unsure just get the Italian. I LOVE Italian sandwiches so that is what I ended up with. Everything here is fresh so I waited about 5-10 minutes for my sandwich to get made. I will definitely be trying out some of the more adventurous creations next time but this was so good. This Italian has a freshness to it that I have a hard time describing but their olive oil blend is lovely, the olives, banana peppers and lettuce helped with that fresh taste as well I'm sure. The bread is incredible! It taste house baked, crisp outer crust with a pillowy interior. The house chips were also really good and salted perfectly. The inside is cool, it's a microbrewery and there's subtle like alien themes throughout? Overall can't wait to try it out again, stop by if you're ever down in Columbia!

I dealt with who I think is the owner and she was very helpful to me as I've never been here before. I ordered a club which I love a traditional club, but this was actually hot which she told me, I got to order how I wanted it and I must say it's very good. I also ordered just regular french fries. They are also very good. They have fountain drinks and I got to mix my sweet and non-sweet tea the way I wanted it so that was nice. The ambience is pleasant and the prices seem fair. So overall, it was a good experience. I would love to see a traditional, thin meat sliced, fatty, shredded lettuce, style deli sandwich on the menu, but for what it is as I said, it's good.

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted. Inside is clean with 4 tables for sitting inside to eat. The restaurant is small and cutely decorated. The display cases with meats, cheeses and different salads and condiments looked great. The deli meats for the subs is sliced very thin. We started with lasagna and garlic bread that Dave and I shared. The filling had beef and Italian sausage and it was delicious. The cheese pull was good and not too much. The red sauce was very good. 5/5 We ordered foods to go after eating the lasagna in store. I failed to take a picture of the lasagna. Suffice it to say it was inhaled quickly. We tried the eggplant panini in store too. Everything else was to go. I ordered a Bruno Sub and asked for roasted red peppers to be added. Honestly I couldn't taste the roasted red peppers as there weren't very many added. There was a thin slice of 1 onion ring on the sub so I couldn't taste any onion at all. For me that's a fail as I like to taste ingredients. 4/5 The eggplant panini came with a side of marinara. I have had eggplant panini's before and was anticipating this one. When I saw it, I was very disappointed. There were 2 very thin slices of eggplant inside a sub roll that had been put in a panini press or under bricks to smash the bread down. The only taste was bread. Marinara was good but couldn't rescue the panini. 1/5 We bought 1 arancini and it came with marinara. I heated it up along with the marinara. One bite in and I was sold. I would definitely go back and order arancini again. The meat inside was flavored well and the marinara made everything come together well. 5/5 We ordered a pastrami. For us there was way too much fat and we couldn't remove the fat like we can in a Jewish deli because this meat was sliced paper thin. 3/5 The potato salad was lacking in flavor to me. There was a significant amount of mayo in my opinion. Dave liked it. 3/5 The marinated artichokes were delicious and so were the white bean salad. 5/5 Dave ordered a Super Sub. It had 4 meats plus lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a tiny sliver of onion but we couldn't taste it. He loved his sub. 5/5 The two cannoli's were delicious. I favored the vanilla and Dave favored the chocolate. 5/5 We will return as the food was good. If you are missing an Italian Deli taste, please stop by. This place makes everything from scratch. It was worth the trip.
