This place is as good as it gets for lunchtime sandwiches in my opinion after only one visit, my wife and I are both fans. Saw many great reviews online and decided to pay this deli a visit today. We shared a couple different items and were delighted with our selections. Shared a dipper sandwich as well as a Reuben. Both sandwiches were extremely tasty and served on excellent bread. We received stellar service from Nora today . She truly helped with our selections. Her courteous and friendly service were very much appreciated. We will return another time and try a couple of other selections!! read more

It's pretty good, the waits can get crazy if you hit it at the wrong time but I think that pretty much anywhere nowadays. Whether you're dining in, ordering to go or catering for lunch it's always tasty. The staff is always friendly but the ambiance doesn't scream sandwich shop. It almost feels like an old saloon turned into a sub shop, not bad just a little odd. Definitely give it a try though. The formula 45 sauce slaps! read more

This Groucho's Deli location stays pretty busy! I highly recommend getting there early before the lunch hour hits full force. My little family and I got there in the middle of lunch rush on a Monday and it took a while for our food to come out. Once it came out though, it was superb! I love Groucho's and always have since I went to college at USC. I used to always order the Pink Moose, or the Apollo Dipper, but this time, I went with the Reuben Variation and found a new found love on their menu! It was very yummy & really hit the spot. Also, I could literally dip anything ever in their Formula 45 sauce and it would instantly taste better... Anything! read more

"Great food" covers it, but I'll give some more detail. That's not to say that it's wrong. It is great food. My customer suggested Groucho's as an alternative to the fast food joint that I had been frequenting. Good choice! A very quick look at the menu and my eye was drawn to the first thing on there - the Apollo Dip. Ham and turkey with melted cheese. It was heavenly. Not the largest portion, but the right size for lunch. I left full but not stuffed. As for why they call it that, I have NO idea. The sweet tea was excellent. Tip: Try to avoid the peak lunch rush. The courthouse is nearby and it can get rather busy during that time. read more

As soon as you walk in you feel like you time travel back to the 80's. The location might need some renovating but it's kind of a neat atmosphere. Most of the sandwich options are pretty delicious, can't go wrong with any choice really. It does seem like this location is ran by teenagers so service isn't always the best but I usually get my food to-go. Prices are good and I guarantee you'll feel satisfied almost every time you choose Groucho's Deli. (with the food) read more

This is one of my favorite places to stop for a super good salad. My wife's salad bowl with formula 45 dressing is top notch. It's a HUGE salad with tons of meat and cheese, plus tomato, cucumber, and of course lettuce. It's absolutely delicious and honestly I've never ordered anything else there, but their sandwiches do look good as well. Customer service is great. The parking situation is awful though as the parking lot is always full. read more

I've been eating at Groucho's Deli for 25 years or more. They typically have great salads and sandwiches. But the Lexington location has consistently had terrible service for the past five years. I have given them feedback privately several times in the past. It seems to make no difference. I'm beyond second chances after today. I ordered an Angel salad with feta for take out. It was 30 minutes late from the pick up time given. After getting home I see my salad has barely any turkey, no tomatoes and no feta (which I paid extra for). I was so put out with them I called for them to make another salad to replace it. The person on the phone tells me my total...what? You mean you're charging me for a product that you screwed up to begin with? She then tried to shame me for returning a salad! I wouldn't have to return it if they didn't mess it up in the first place! I just told her never mind. I am so done. It's a salad not rocket science. The last time I ate there in person was ridiculously bad too. I ordered a chicken power salad. It took an hour for it to come. And then when it came it was smaller than a typical side salad. I asked the server why is it so small. She said it was because they only had small plates and were out of baskets. Really? Not even kidding! I cannot even fathom giving that bad of service! I prefer supporting local businesses and I believe in second chances, but we are way past that point here. I will not be back to this location. ***I have never had this problem at any of the other locations. They all have fantastic service.*** read more

Not sure what's so special about the special sauce, but it is special. I dip my chips in it before inhaling an STP Dipper along with a gallon of sweet southern nectar (tea). Oh, and they have that really good ice that the iron deficient crave. Trivia: this is called pica. Parking gets tight on a Sunday because all the neighboring peeholes have reserved spaces. Some specifically state "not Groucho's parking." You can park on Main and walk through a dark alley to Groucho's side door. The alley is safe - not rapey at all. read more

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.

It's been around 80 years and today, I was eager to find out why. The whole diner scene is very clean and consistent with how I would imagine it has always looked. The walls are covered in framed historical documents and photographs about the Mathias Sandwich Shop and old signs from the 1940's and 1950's that I imagine are truly original to the era it was hoppin' and bussin' at during that time. It has a very unique feel to it, like a place your grandmother and her family loved to go to growing up in this area. You can tell some of their customers here are patrons. It's a true "mom and pop" kinda place, which I love! Although we ordered a kids burger and a couple Reuben sandwiches, I felt the need to come back and try everything on their menu. It was a simple sandwich, burger, hot dog, salad kind of diner, but each category had many choices to choose from. The food was served warm and with a smile, which is always a nice touch. My son ate all of his kid's burger and fries and my other son ate all of his Reuben and chips. Both of them were very satisfied! My Reuben was also very good.

It was delicious! It was grilled like a panini, but the lettuce was still crisp! Not sure how they did that but it was very good! I also got a side of pasta salad and the cheese and noodles also had good flavor. If I lived closer I would come more often! If you are in the area it is worth the stop!

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

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.

Thank goodness for Yelp. We've been here before but this time was our last. The food is always fine but nothing to write home about. The thing about restaurants is from time to time even a great place will have an off night, that's inevitable. The key to retaining customers is all about how you handle it when it happens. And well let's just say they did not handle it well. The place was crowded and short staffed so it took a while to take our order. I had a question about a menu item which the server could not answer. She said she'd find out but then didn't so I simply ordered something else. My husband got the ham sub. I settled for the pasta, feta and green salad. I ordered it with no dressing but unfortunately there was a dressing on the pasta salad that just ruined it for me. I didn't eat it. The waitress never came back. We had empty drink cups and my husband was done eating. Quite some time passed and we finally were able to get the check. We told both the waitress and manager that the salad was terrible and that I didn't eat. They were unconcerned and were not going to take it off the check. Then she said, "I hope this doesn't prevent you from coming back." Seriously? read more

We came here looking for good deli food. The food was ok but for the price the meat on the sub was minimal at best. Going into a deli shop you would expect the subs to be packed full of all the deliciousness. The staff were wonderful though. read more

I should've really gone to the other store The food is EXCELLENT(hence the 3 stars)! The service is normally ok, as my first visit the owner gave us a run down of the history and invited us back during lunch hour, so of course we honored the invite. I'm intrigued by old stores, but don't try to treat me as though we're back in the day. The men (customers and staff) were okay or at least kept it respectful, but it only took one old lady to walk in and turn the vibe out. She kept staring at us like we had just crossed some boundaries, and the treatment from a few staff members shifted towards those of color, like "yeah whites only". I should've walked out at that instant, but it was just another creature's "attitude" at this point. Unfazed, I waited in line to order, but the old lady kept staring like I was to disappear. The order taker noticed her and proceeded to go around me and took the color-bothered lady's order. WOOOOW, not just attitude but action, I thought. But I wanted my hotdogs and cake so I waited as I made mental notes of the past, the present, and the future. BUT!, when I did get to place my order and paid for it, they said, "he didn't charge you enough", like wait, what? you GAVE me something? NO. I bought this at NO discount. For a hotdog, a thin pickle slice, and chips at 3.95each (which is kid's combo) and 3 cakes at 3.50 each. I paid 20.38., twenty dollars and thirty-eight cents. Like wtf.. how much more do I need to pay for 2 hotdogs and 3 small slices of cake? At this point, I knew it would be my last time supporting this place. It is I, and only I, who chooses who and what I support and THE OTHER STORE is not something I will continue to support as long as they indulge and support such customers' unacceptable behaviors. No hard feelings here, but if you want to serve and respect a "certain people", please put the sign back up and stop accepting OUR support of YOUR establishment. It is 2026, not 1926. -TO EACH HIS OWN
