I'm sorry -- I really tried to like this place. I was genuinely excited to find what I hoped would be a good sandwich deli. But the fact that the place was completely empty at 6 p.m. probably should've been my first clue. The young lady taking my order suggested the nachos instead of a regular bag of chips since they came with cheese. Sounded great at first... but in the three short minutes it took me to drive one block back to my hotel, the cheese had already solidified, and all the chips underneath had gone soggy. They even tasted like they might've been stale to begin with. Since the cheese had hardened, they were inedible. I also ordered the French Dip sandwich. It came panini-style -- flattened and toasted -- and looked really appetizing at first glance. Unfortunately, the roast beef was cut in thick slabs but layered so thinly that there just wasn't much meat at all. The texture and balance were way off, and it just wasn't enjoyable to eat. One quarter of the bread had no meat at all. I truly wanted to like Momma Goldberg's, but this was not a good experience, and I won't be returning. read more

Showed up at this location at 915 after a baseball game (says open until 10pm). No lights on and employee getting in her car.

momma goldbers just good everywhere really good sandwiches just sometimes tons of people cuase of the football games

Driving through Auburn on a road trip and decided to take a shot at what seemed like a local hot spot. Great decision! My fiancé and I both got Momma's Love 'All The Way' toasted. We really enjoyed the sandwiches. Way better than a lot of other sub chains so I can see why the Auburn students love it! There were two young students/grads who gave very good service and pleasant conversation. Overall the space was clean and tidy. Next road trip through this area, we'll be back! read more

Had the pastrami sandwich which was delicious. Everyone was very engaging and informative. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Food is fine. Nothing stellar or fantastic. An auburn tradition sure, but regardless its pricy and the restaurant and bathrooms are rarely clean read more

I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately I agree with the other reviews. The quality of the food we got was nothing better than or maybe a little less than Subway. The fountain drinks were great and came with the good ice but besides that I think there are a lot better options if you're looking for something of a higher quality read more

I would just say: don't come here if you're hungry. Guys- this isn't the way to boost profits. You're just losing repeat business by shorting sandwiches. I ordered a ten dollar chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad was almost undetectable. I'd say there was a couple of table spoons spread across the bread. Similar story for my friends - a scrap or two of ham and a single piece of cheese. You won't survive if this is the plan. Wise up read more

The food is not that great at all. Nachos are mot nachos. They charge a about $4 extra for them as a side vs chips but what you get are Doritos with a square if cheese microwaved on top. Soggy on top of that. Sandwich was not that good either. I would not go back. I would assume this is a free sample of what jail food taste like. read more

Momma Goldberg's Deli - Nachos lol - Delis Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

I've never seen such dirty beer pitchers ever. Honestly disgusting. No pride, no standards. Filthy pigs. There was puke in the grass on the patio that the staff didn't feel compelled to clean up. Amateur hour by people who don't give a damn. read more

Wow I am glad I disregarded these reviews because I just got mamas love and it was delicious. Sometimes the delivery people can mess up an order or worse the delivery but please don't take it out on the most delicious sandwich on the plains so glad to have ordered from this location traveling thru have never been disappointed with the mamas love sandwich keep them going!

If you have ever lived in Auburn you know Momma G's is a staple. Now has 4 locations in Auburn & has spread across several states. They're known for their steamed sandwiches & Doritos covered in cheese. Their beverages are served w/good ice & in a plastic cup you can keep. Their sandwiches are a little sloppy but that's what people like. I would just say in regards to this, the lettuce can be mushy sometimes; as they are supposed to add the lettuce after steaming. You order at the counter & they call your name. Some locations have a drive-thru. The customer service isn't the greatest but it's mainly college kids working. If you take your Auburn football ticket in: buy 1 sandwich & a large drink, get 1 free. All & all, pretty good food. read more

Very clean and delicious sandwiches as always. French dip sandwich with au jus was excellent. One of my favorite Auburn stops fir a quick meal. read more

I'm overall disappointed , they couldn't figure out how to charge my card, I waited over 10 minutes for my food, but I was like "it's okay, momma goldbergs is worth the wait" ... well it wasn't . I think I had the upmost ugliest and disappointingly untasty sandwich I have ever had. Once I got my food the cashier chick shut the drive through door on me with out getting my drink. I had to wait for her to open the door so I could inform her that I had ordered and payed for one in the first place . Very bad experience . I knew coming here it would be a little bit of a wait.. but all the bad customer services and my messed up sandwich is going to make me avoid this location at all costs. Go to literally any other location but this one read more

I miss when Mama G's was just an Auburn thing. Since it's become a chain, it's just not as good. Prices on the sandwiches are up but they're not any better. Used to be $5-6 for a meal, and that was worth it, but I shouldn't go in there spending $10+ for something that isn't exactly better than Subway. A Mama's Love or any of their other sandwiches are fine...just like a Big Mac is fine. But for the price, I could probably get something better somewhere else. read more

Upon our arrival, there was no staff in sight to greet us - we wondered if this place was even open. After 15 minutes of waiting, one staff member finally appeared from the bathroom offering no apology for our wait. The second staff member did not appear until it was time to create our sandwiches although we could hear him in the back as we waited. After more time of waiting, and watching the family of 4 behind us receive their sandwiches before the 2 of us, we finally received our food. The food tasted pretty good, but overall, I was pretty disappointed. I had not eaten here in years as there is not a location near me - we were driving through Auburn on our way to the beach, and I was very excited to eat here again. Sadly, I am not sure we will return. read more

I've had better experiences than at other Goldberg's locations, but my recent visit was just ok. At least the lines are shorter than at the one near campus. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and tea, but they didn't seem to know the tea wasn't out. The meat in both sandwiches was probably tasty, but I couldn't appreciate it b/c it was suitably warm on the outside but refrigerator cold in the middle. read more

I just moved here for school and decided to try the famous Momma Goldberg's. It didn't quite meet my expectations, but it was pretty good for the price. We ordered the momma's love and big momma. The momma's love contained roast beef, turkey, and ham, while the big momma had pastrami, turkey, and ham. They were both good sandwiches; however, we wish the hoagie rolls were toasted. The sandwiches were rather soft and didn't provide any textural contrast. read more

Was very clean when we went. The food was amazing as it is at all locations. Only complaint was that they didn't have the take home cups anymore and didn't offer lids so that was a pain with kids, but not the end of the world! read more

What I asked for: Cuban with no cheese and light mustard (don't @ me, I can't eat dairy right now and it sucks) What I got: Cuban with cheese and extra mustard. Also it was barely toasted. This seems to be the weakest of all the momma Goldberg's. The people working the drive thru are always nice, though. read more

Momma Goldberg's Deli - Delis Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Ordered a ham and Swiss sandwich today for take out. It was hot and soggy. I had told it I did not want it steamed or cooked. Take the order correctly and prepare it the way the customer asks for it read more

The Pastrama Mama was excellent ... and the word on the street (via my better half), Momma's Love Sandwich was also delectable!! You'll just have to visit their menu to get the low down on the ingredients. Will definitely hit this joint again so I can give their Cuban a try!! read more

This is my 2nd visit to the Auburn campus for work and I was already looking forward to visiting Momma Goldbergs again on the drive there. When my coworkers and I saw this new location, we decided to check it out. The space is much larger, the building is newer and cleaner (as expected), and the whole place looked/felt like it got a "chain restaurant" makeover. Whether that's a good thing or bad would be up to you. We ordered 2 Mama's Love ($5 each), 1 Beef & Cheese ($5), and of course Mama's Nachos with jalapenos. Everything was deeelish as usual, especially the soft, slightly chewy, steamed sandwich bun. I would also recommend eating the nachos first because once it starts cooling down and the cheese solidifies, it basically becomes one giant nacho chip (which is fine if you don't plan on sharing anyway). Be prepared to take a nap after a visit to Mama G's. read more

I really wanted to like this more. We stopped in Auburn for the night when headed to Florida. We saw Mama Goldbergs and it looked interesting. On our way back through town we stopped for lunch. It was just ok. I'm thinking this is the type of place you love because a) you've been going there forever and associate the food with good times and good memories or b) you find a menu item you really like and you stick with it. Kids and hubby all ordered sandwiches. They were all ok. Nothing special at all. Honestly, steamed sandwiches are great when you immediately open the foil, but in a few short minutes the bread starts to get pretty soggy and pruney. The highlight of the trip was my salad -as I imagine any salad there would be. The ability to pick your own toppings, dressing and have it tossed for you is awesome. If I lived near here I can see visits to Mama Goldbergs just for salads (see b above). Overall the visit was pricey. Roughly $30 for lunch with two adults and two kids meals. Kids meals do not include drinks, so they just had water. read more

Nothing against any other Momma G's locations, just this one. If you're in Auburn and want Mamma G's you can't go wrong with the original or the Thatch Ave locations. However, whoever is managing this one really needs to replace some employees. I went for lunch there twice in the same week and had the exact same issues both times. The employees were incredibly slow, and they gave me the most pathetic excuse of a sandwich both times I was there. I work on South College, and if this place were better it could be a regular lunch restaurant for me, but after multiple visits with the same horrible problems, I refuse to go there any more. read more

This restaurant sucks, for lack of a better word. I've tried it multiple times because I wanted to give it another chance but the customer service is awful, the sweet tea tastes so bad it almost has a moldy taste (I've tried it twice and both times it was horrible), and the sandwiches aren't even good. I don't understand the hype around this place because it's really not worth the money. If you're looking for a sandwich place, go to Newks or even Subway because they probably would be less disappointing. read more

There are a lot of options when it come to subs. Momma Goldbergs Deli should be near the top of your list. The option to build your own is a unique and welcome feature. I had Momma's Love "all the way" and my only complaint is that it was a little soggy and hard to handle. The amount of meat and the flavor were both above average. The reuben was very tasty. They also offer a build your own salad which looks terrific.....loads of ingredients and it's huge. Parking and seating are a little limited, but they seem to keep things moving pretty well. read more

Run by three disinterested teenagers who were sitting in the backroom talking instead of manning the front or doing anything constructive. Customer service lacking. read more

I went to this restaurant shortly before they closed (approximately an hour) and I ordered some nachos through their driveway service. When I got home to eat the nachos, I got about halfway through them before I realized there was a long, stringy, blonde strand of hair in my food hanging from my mouth. Immediately spit everything out and threw my food away. I was appalled and disgusted! Hopefully they change their tactics to wear hair nets and make sure clothing is clean and free of debris around food after they see this review. I for one, won't ever eat there again. read more

Best sammish experience I ever had in my life, heads dwn. this one short bearded dude took my order with such enthusiasm and also made my sammish as good as it good ever be, this place don't never disappoint read more

I have been to momma g locations in Montgomery, Birmingham, and every Auburn location and this is by far the worst one. My order here is consistently wrong, the tea is always sour, and the wait time is significantly longer. Tonight I went and ordered a salad in the drive thru and got home to a container of lettuce and tomato- literally every topping I ordered was missing. The workers were busy cleaning the floors and doing what appeared to be closing duties which confused me considering they had 3ish hours left before closing time. Don't waste your time at this location when there are 2 others in the area. read more

Bad. My sandwich was literally a soggy bagel with winted ingredients. I also ordered the nachos on advice from some others customers. It's doritos with fake cheese and it's gross. read more

The last 3 times I've ordered nachos, I say with peppers. Every. Single. Time. I've gotten home with my food, there are no peppers! Why even asked if I want them if you are going to ignore my answer and not add them???? I say yes peppers at least twice when ordering. Incompetent employees read more

Suzi is amazing, seriously! If she doesn't make your sandwich and converse with you you didn't catch the whole momma experience. Changed my life! Much love to south college read more

It was VERY new when I came here. I'm sure the smell of paint has been replaced by smells of awesome food now...

I have loved their steamed hoagies since I was a student at Auburn 30 years ago. It takes about 5 minutes to assemble and steam your sandwich, though, so don't expect that the food will magically appear before you pay. I've stood in line for up to 30 minutes while waiting on one of these mouth-watering sandwiches. read more

If you like Doritos nachos, make them at home. The best things about this place are (1) tradition, (2) legit fresh meat, (3) crushed ice in those cups everyone from auburn or who went to auburn has. Other than that, save your money and find a better sandwich. read more

We ate here last night after finishing up our engagement pics. Their sandwiches are so fresh. I had one called 'Mama's Love' (I think). Good prices and great location. Just wish they served wine hehe ;) read more

Meh, i just didnt see what all the hype was about. Kinda greasy too. Sandwhichs arent that big either. I tried one of their signature sandwhiches and just wasnt impressed. Price is ok though read more

At the end of the day it is really just a moderately soggy and borderline overpriced sandwich. I like the "nachos" and the cheap beer just fine, but their sandwiches really leave alot to be desired. read more
