Momma Goldberg’s Deli opens on Highland

Every college town has its student hangout—a place to settle back, grab some cheap and tasty eats, maybe drink a brew or two. In Auburn, Ala., Momma Goldberg’s Deli is that place. Now the famed hangout for those other Tigers has franchised, and a spot has opened up close to LSU’s campus at 3260 Highland Road (Map it!). The food may not be earth-shattering in its originality, but Momma Goldberg’s is the quintessential soup ‘n’ sandwich shop. Their specialty is the “Momma’s Love,” a meaty creation piled high with turkey, ham and roast beef and fully dressed, that one practically has to unhinge one’s jaw to eat. The nachos are another simple specialty—a perfect accompaniment to one of their delicious subs. An expansive takeout menu will likely win over busy students, as will plans to operate into the wee hours of the morning. Click here to check out the full menu.—Rachael Upton
