Nashville | Gold's Deli- A New Go To Hot Spot For Sandwich Lovers

I don’t know about y’all, but there’s just something about a good sandwich. From grilled cheese, open-faced sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, or even the ever-so-popular submarine, I love them all. When I saw the post about Gold’s Deli on the Foodies of Nashville page, I immediately added it to my weekend itinerary. < And if you aren't following Foodies of Nashville- check it out!>

Unfortunately, this isn’t exactly located in Nashville. It’s more like Nashville adjacent, roughly 40+ miles south. Hear me out. I know that’s quite the drive, but Columbia is a charming little town, and you can easily spend a day exploring the area. < I've got some great recommendations, so message me! >

Gold’s Deli is already making waves with locals and visitors alike, completely selling out in just a few hours of opening, especially on the weekend. Never fear; pre-orders are always available and recommended, so you don’t miss out on that special sandwich.

The menu at Gold’s Deli features an assortment of mouthwatering sandwiches, including a Reuben, “The Original” featured above, and the Italian Hero, to name a few. Still, if none of those speak to you, you can customize a creation to your liking.

During my visit, I was torn on what to order. Do I get a Reuben, which I naturally gravitate towards whenever I see it on a menu, or do I take a walk on the wild side and send myself into a food coma with “The Original?” As it was my inaugural visit, the team recommended I start with “The Original,” served warm. I’m here to tell you it didn’t disappoint. All you need is two hands, several napkins, and a hearty appetite. If you read the menu, it may appear like a standard pastrami sandwich, but this is far from your basic pastrami. It was incredibly flavorful and melted in your mouth. The last time I had a sandwich that good was at Manny’s in Chicago.

Don’t skip out on the sides, either! The deli offers coleslaw, pasta salad, potato salad, and chips. I tried the potato salad and was left speechless. Any of these would be the perfect compliment to your sandwich.

Coined the small but mighty deli, Gold’s has limited counter seating available as most of their orders are take-out or catering.

Gold’s Deli is more than just another sandwich shop; it’s a new local favorite where quality and creativity come together. Every bite feels thoughtfully crafted, and the flavors are balanced and satisfying without being overly complicated. Plus, the location in Columbia means you can enjoy your sandwich and then explore this charming town—it’s a win-win!

If you’re a Columbia local or just passing through, add Gold’s Deli to your list of must-try spots. —you might just find your new favorite place to eat!

Until Next Time!
