Mama's Deli is an easily overlooked gem in downtown Iowa City. Flanked by chain stores and lacking an impressive facade (though, recent alterations have improved that), Mama's is frequently cited as a "new place to eat" though it has been in operation for some time... The food is excellent, though, admittedly, it is not the cheapest around (the reason for the 4 of 5 stars). I just finished eating some potato salad that came with my sandwich (which can be 2 meals in itself) and, I have to say, even the side dishes are amazing. The food is great, the service reasonably fast (you can watch the workers cut the bread and prepare the food), and, with the reorganization of the interior, seating is usually abundant. Give it a shot, and you will probably be impressed.
