Yes, I've been to Goldberg's, a number of times. IMO it's not a deli, it's a coffee shop with shtick. The food is sincerely mediocre, the service invariably terrible, and the prices way too high. We went in during Pesach one year and asked for matzoh instead of toast with our breakfast. The wait person didn't know what we were talking about, nor did the shift manager. A shelf with jars of gefilte fish for sale doth not a deli make.
It fits in that particular suburban mall because the nearest Denny's is a couple of blocks away.
No I don't have any problems with suburbs, nor with cities, nor with malls for that matter. Lousy fake delis are another matter.
