Gold's Delicatessen — Restaurant in Westport

Review from 2 summers ago: This review is based on the last time I ate there:1968. It's the best. Up until eight years old, I'd spend the summer in Westport. This was one of my family's regular spots. Fantastic memories. An hour ago, due to a Siri detour driving north from North Carolina to MA, to my delight, I found myself driving through Westport. And still there was Gold's! Alas, it had closed for the day, but just seeing the sign transported me in time to a delicious happy place I enjoyed with my family. Gold's has endured. My spirits are buoyed and my heart is a little lighter tonight. I will fall asleep with visions of pastrami sandwiches dancing in my head...A classic. Update: This past summer, we did more than pass through Westport. We stayed overnight. The town has gotten even nicer than it was in the 1960s summers of my childhood. This time, Gold's was open and we went for takeout. It was like stepping into a time warp. The place was just as I remembered. Food is still delicious. Gold's did not let me down. Endearing...

I just discovered this place recently, as it's on my way to PT, and I love it! I only order one kind of sandwich, the Super (a Reuben sandwich with some extra oomph) and, occasionally, some other items. It always meets my expectations. The set up seems a bit strange, given the narrow area where you can pay, which is also the area where you wait for your order AND it's really close to the entry/exit point. That can definitely be improved, should the owners decide to invest a little in some small adjustments. However, it looks like they are more old school, therefore set in their own ways, so that change might not happen. Interestingly enough, all that still works and it has a melancholic "scent" so to say (hey, if it ain's broke, why fix it... right?) It's a place where some strong traditions and cultural things blend in very well with the modern days and the customers, given that the food quality is good, will put up with just about anything...

“THE TRUE GEM OF CONNECTICUT” If you never knew, now you know! I had the pleasure of visiting Gold’s Delicatessen this past Friday with my coworker. We placed our order online, picked it up, went back to our company and feasted like there was no tomorrow! If you haven’t stopped by, all I can say is...whaddaya waiting for!? The food is DELICIOUS, great beef hot dogs, fresh knishes, the pickles crunchy and tasty, and the coleslaw “Ah-Mazing!” The ladies who came out to meet you are absolutely wonderful...the guy...an obnoxious jerk, but hey who cares right!? Focus on the food!!!! Will I be back, you’re darn tooting I will! Thank you Gold’s Delicatessen, your food makes me feel...
