Groucho&#x27;s Deli

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

We had orders for (2) BLTs, 1 Chicken Salad sandwich, 1 greek salad w/chicken, 1 Philly Cheese-steak wrap, 1 beef sandwich and a bowl of vegetable soup. The BLT's were great...lots of chopped lettuce, good bacon and on a nicely toasted white bread. The Greek salad was huge...I mean huge! He ate half of it and had to really stuff the uneaten half into the styrofoan take home box. Chicken salad was very good and the beef sandwich (lots of beef). The Philly cheese-steak wrap was said to be a bit bland. Good service, quick, lots of space and GOOD parking (finally)! Our rating was a 8.83 on our ROMEO scale of 1-10.

There were about six customers in line ordering their food and it went fast. Their selections are great with a lot of variety of sandwiches (hot and cold), soups, salads, burgers, you hame it. I opted for a cup of Beefy Noodle soup and a BLT while my wife ordered the Patty Melt with onions. The soup was terrific....small cup for $4.99 with bowtie posta, sausage, mushrooms and a great broth. My BLT was also great with chopped lettuce, lots of bacon and tomato on rye seeded bread. My wife also liked her Patty Melt...the meat was done perfectly. Great lunch! We'll be back. Total lunch with top was about $23.

I got the special sauce on the side for dipping and it made the sandwich even better. I seriously can't rave enough abt this place, can't wait to go back again when I'm in town.

We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were. On a scale of 10 we would rate it as a 7.3 on the ROMEO scale...Yelp scale we'll give it a 4.0

For mine, I requested scrambled egg, on a bagel with cheddar and roasted garlic spread. Goodness! What a delight! My sandwich came well packaged for heat retention (and was plenty warm upon delivery). The best part? All of their orders come with a cinnamon roll. What? Listen. Imagine, you're traveling for work and have ordered yourself a breakfast to eat while working. And, you receive it and perched atop your sandwich order, is a warm and ooey gooey cinnamon roll. Are you kidding me? I literally clapped my hands in giddy delight. Thanks Devine. You made my day. Get to it!

Walked in around 1:40pm (they stop serving at 2) and there was no line. The sandwich menu is extensive, each sandwich with a bit of an interesting twist. We decided on the Gamecock and the Cuban. Both were excellent AND they come with a small cinnamon roll on the side as well as absolutely addicting store-made pita chips. We didn't realize the sandwiches came with these sides and this put the experience into the "when can we make it here again?!!" Cinnamon rolls were excellent as well and service was very friendly and fast. Based upon reviews, I know that CRD is super busy in the morning and here we were at the end of their day and you would have never known it. The team there is excellent. Highly recommend.
