    Mustard Potato Salad

    Food was great, service was great, and the place was so busy there was a line out the door but it moved at a good pace for their quality of service. We will be stopping here again!

    Mom's Special

    First time going to their new location on Hampton. I ordered the Mom's Special. It has turkey, ham, roast beef, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hold the onions, and thousand island dressing. Delicious sandwich. It was very filling. I ate half at lunch and the other half at dinner. The sandwich is packed with great flavors. They have several tables so you can enjoy your sandwich right there. The restaurant is very casual and ultra friendly.

    PICKING UP DINNER

    I had certain expectations for Mom's. I wanted this to work well for them. I finally went in and ordered 2 Mom's specials and they were fantastic. We ate them on Halloween instead of an Imo's pizza as usual. I was still concerned that people are waiting outside to order inside. People wait in a single line when there is plenty of room to sit at a empty table or stand inside to take your order when it is your turn. I would like to see a sign either on the doors for people who ordered on line and just want to pick up their order I met folks who stood in line for 10 minutes just to pickup an order she did not have to wait for. Perhaps a second sandwich maker could be available or have someone present asking "If anyone had an order to pickup go to the otherside to pickup your order". I was hoping that the old Dado's drive up window would take care of that. I think it is blocked by racks of chips. Maybe in the near future it will be utilized. I like that they expanded the area were the bar was and have a lot of table space and prep area. It is bright and airy. I do recommend this restaurant.

    Welcome Back Mom's Deli! The new location is open and ready to serve the classic deli sandwiches. So happy to see them back since they are still serving some of the most delicious sandwiches known to exist! Thankfully, the new location has A LOT of tables to enjoy your food inside which is really nice. They do have some challenges to work out, however. We had to wait outside to get in and order so there is not a lot of room to wait and order. Plus, there are 2-3 doors to get in so it is a little bit of a train wreck to find the right spot. Then, the fountain soda was not working and they were about sold out of bottled sodas. Lastly, you had to hop out of line to grab your soda and chips so they could scan them at checkout. With all that said, the line still moved fairly fast and everyone is super friendly and happy to just be back! Quite frankly, I was excited as well, and hence the 5 s for knowing that this will be back and running like a top, in no time!!

    This was our first time going to this place. We got two deli sandwich and side of potato salad and pasta salad. The sandwiches tasted great to me. The breads were freshly made. The meat is of better quality than other sandwich places. I liked the potato salad more than the pasta salad. Our dog Chloe also was able to sit with us at their patio seatings. I did not go inside the shop, my boyfriend did the ordering and obtaining the food. The line seemed to move at a decent pace from what I saw while sitting at the patio area. There were customers coming to order mostly take out the whole time we were there on Sunday afternoon.

    I recently visited STL for a work trip. Coworkers living in the area brought me and some other out of state work friends to Mom's Deli for lunch. There were a lot of sandwiches on the menu that sounded great. I decided on the parmesan chicken sandwich. It was good! It wasn't dry or overly sauced with marinara. They did microwave it to make it hot, which meant it didn't have that fried crispy texture I typically enjoy on chicken parmesan. The sandwich was a lot though! I could barely finish half. I grabbed a bag of chips from a shelf and a bottled beverage from the cold case. I also picked up two bags of cookies to pack in my suitcase. It's quaint. Inside is small, all the seats are outside. There aren't a ton, but there are enough for a small lunch crowd.

    Line was out the door so we were excited to try. The order counter/check out system seems a little odd but very typical of a little mom and pop shop. Look at the menu before you go so you know what to get. They don't have a large menu that lists out ingredients in store. No seating inside, only outdoor tables. We took ours to go. Sandwiches were good. Bread was a little chewy. Our favorite was the meatball. Great flavor of the sauce. Would go back but not rushing back.

    Omg! This place was just like I remember it from when I was younger. Everyone is so polite when you walk in, and they listened to me reminisce. The mom's special is so delicious with an extra side of 1000 island dressing to dip the chips in. They do have a couple tables outside if it isn't too hot, but the inside is a typical deli. Go there if you are in South St. Louis, you won't be disappointed!

    If you have seen any of my other reviews you can probably guess I'm not a big "sandwich person". I'm more of a "full meal person". That said I've been taking a family member to medical appointments right around the corner from here and every time we drive by the place is packed. We knew we had to try it out! We popped in today and had no idea what to order so we both ordered a sandwich and we shared them so we each were able to try 2! Family member ordered Mom's sandwich. It's a cold deli meat sandwich and it was DELICIOUS! I ordered Ron's sandwich with is a hot salami - I opted for the spicy mustard with it - also delicious! The inside is very much like a corner store - chips, snackies, drinks and you can walk up to the counter to order a sandwich and/or soup. The sandwich line moves very efficiently! I liked that they had an outside patio and we took the opportunity to sit in the sun and eat our sandwiches there. There was a STEADY line of customers flowing through the entire time we were there (it was afternoon 1-2pmish). If you like sandwiches, stop in here and check them out!

    I could muster an unoriginal joke regarding the how big of a mouth you need for a big mouth…read moresandwich. Consider yourself spared. I shall jump straight to the good stuff: the sandwiches. Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.

All the sandwiches come on their house made focaccia and it is very good! Roast beef, romesco, pickled radish, aioli, and greens. It was a delicious sandwich, I loved the pickled radish and the whole sandwich had great flavor and freshness that you could taste - just like everything I have had here. I ate half and saved half for lunch the next day. I like scones as they are a nice dough but not overly sweet. This one had great texture and crumb.

The service was excellent, and the fact that they make their own bread is outstanding. Based on the food, location, and service alone, I would have gladly given them 5 stars. That changed when I saw the sign on the door stating that ICE officers would not be served. I respect the owners' right to have and express their personal opinions. But when you choose to publicly post those views at your business, you should also be willing to accept that customers may have a different opinion. My opinion is that I stand with law enforcement. The owners have every right in this great nation to take the position they have--and I have every right to decide that I won't return. I sincerely hope they never find themselves in a situation where they need the help of a law enforcement officer. But if they do, I believe those officers will still respond professionally and give them the respect and assistance that every person deserves. It's unfortunate, because without that issue, this would have been an easy 5-star review.
