Best Rueben in Statesville! And the sauce! Even the water is delicious! And the ice! The staff are super-nice, too!

My family stopped here on a road trip and I was pretty disappointed. We came right at opening and it was pretty quiet, but it was definitely bustling by the time we left. Our server did a pretty mediocre job, if I'm being real - she took our orders and delivered the food but pretty much didn't check on us for the entire meal, and I ended up having to take my trash to the front counter to get rid of it, since no one was bussing the table. I got the Chicken Power Pita and I was underwhelmed with it. The pita was soggy and cold, and everything inside felt mushy and a bit flavorless. My wife's roast beef sandwich was also extremely lacking, although she did like the bread. Weirdly, she wanted lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, and the server told us that they didn't offer onion. Why does a deli not have sliced onion for its sandwiches? On the positive side, my father-in-law really liked his chili. Because we got there so early, we found parking on the street, but I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find parking if you came during normal lunch hours. Inside the restaurant, it had standard deli vibes. I would definitely not come back here if I was stopping in Statesville for lunch. read more

Not worth the hype. Could take it or leave it. Sandwiches aren't good enough to be so proud. Great if absolutely starving and don't care if they beat ya up because they don't like sandwiches with toppings. read more

Got delivery. Food came timely. Special instructions were followed (no tomato on my club) Food tasted GREAT but portions were small for the price. Larger portions =5 read more

Groucho's Deli - Big Dipper - Delis Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

We enjoyed another Groucho's location several months ago and when we saw this one in Statesville while looking for a place to stop for lunch, I think the car may have just driven us here to keep us happy, lol! We started with a couple of Dr. Brown's diet cream sodas which were tasty and refreshing. In my effort to eat better, I ordered the Chicken Power Salad with Danish Bleu dressing and without cucumber, while Hubby ordered a Big Dipper sandwich with no pickle. The salad was fresh, crunchy and filling, and Hubby enjoyed his sandwich with chips. Charity did a great job making sure we were taken care of and brought us additional cream sodas. One other thing I like about Groucho's Deli is the opportunity to donate a meal through the partnership they have with GiftAMeal. It's such an easy thing to do to help people in need. read more

This corner location is just perfect in downtown Statesville. It boasts plenty of seating inside at the old school benches. There is an array of different sandwiches to please everyone in attendance. The staff is patient and friendly helping you through any tough sandwich decisions. On this visit we tried the Baby sub with chips, pickle and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was amazing packed with tons of ingredients and flavor. I although didn't care for the vinegar based potato salad. My wife had the BLT Chicken Critter sandwich w/ potato salad and was very delicious. I would recommend trying this nostalgic sandwich shop as I will be frequenting it regularly. read more

Groucho's Deli - STP Dipper - Delis Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

We are back in Statesville so you know what that means... @grouchos_deli Groucho's Deli is a @statesvillenorthcarolina staple and guaranteed to always satisfy (especially when paired with the formula 45 sauce) Food: I got a Reuben variation - a turkey Reuben; otherwise known as a Rachel. Rye bread was nicely toasted but not to the point of being crunchy to where it cuts up your mouth. Warm, melty, Swiss cheese. Sauerkraut and brown mustard brought some intensity with the flavor which I liked. Add some of the famous 45 sauce and the sweetness cuts the tang extremely well. Delicious. I asked for double meat, by the way - I like my sandwiches on the more "full" side but you do you. Service: Classic seat yourself, order, and then it's brought out. Nothing over the top. Just a nice deli. Not a ton of server interaction besides ordering and refills. Ambiance: Lowkey sandwich shop - not much more to say. You'll see regulars snagging a quick bite on their lunch break or those passing through statesville who know a good sandwich! Perfect for a sunny day and enjoy the downtown or a rainy day pick me up (like mine was). Location: Located right on the corner of downtown statesville. Iconic, I guess you could say, for the downtown. Easy parking on the street or a short walk from Pecan Park. Rating: 9/10 Solid. Won't disappoint. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a good sandwich or salad in downtown statesville! read more

Another great meal and absolutely superb service from Allayna made dining in a pleasure. Chicken salad on pumpernickel was tasty and marinated Roast Beef hit the spot and tea was spot on to complete the meal. Looking forward to next time. read more

Good food and good service. I had their Rueben which is a twist on a traditional one, they have German mustard on it. It was delicious. I would definitely go back again and want to try another one of their sandwiches with a twist. read more

Very disappointed in the BLT. Doesn't look anything like the pic on-line. Very little bacon and all on one side when I opened the sandwich. Had I not redistributed some of the meat I would have gotten 1/2 a sandwich with LT only. You could have done better. read more

Excellent food and great service. I was passing through town and looking for dinner . Glad I found Groucho's Deli!

Food is always great as is the service. Everyone is friendly It's a clean environment Keep up the great job Groucho's Deli. read more

This little sandwich shop in downtown Statesville is quite nice. I haven't been in yet, but have ordered delivery from them many, many times in the past year. (They pack very well for delivery too, with everything arriving in great shape.) All the food is fresh & crisp. The sandwiches are great and the salads are a great size. The dippers are sandwiches with an au jus type sauce or a dressing; my husband enjoys those. My fave is the Deli Club for 2. They double the meat, and include 2 bags of chips and pickles. It's the perfect size lunch for a couple. Their club sandwiches are great! I highly recommend Groucho's for great sandwiches and salads and am looking forward to eating inside. read more

2013 Nov 11, Statesville, NC I have done several reviews on this particular restaurant with high scores. In all my visits, and i do visit often when in Statesville, I have only had one less than favorable experience several years ago. And that visit was during the week around lunch time time. I do expect that any place will not be great every time. Circumstances vary. But over all, one less desirable experience out of a hundred, and yes I eat here too often, does not diminish the great food and experience I get. I leave happy with my choice. The club and the Slaw Dog are two of my go to when i am too hungry to look over their great selection of foods to eat. The service is great by people who obviously want to give you the experience you will love and keep you coming back. Statesville has some fine food establishments to satisfy your hunger. But if you are downtown and looking for a quick dash in for a sandwich and drink, give Grochos a try while you are soaking up historic Statesville read more

Heading home from Asheville to Raleigh, we came for Red Buffalo Brewing a few doors down but were delighted to find this deli! I ordered the club, it was so fresh and tasty, and my partner got the Brown Moose. It was much smaller by comparison but perfect for him. Pasta salad was cold and tart, chips were basic, and the service was very friendly! Quaint location with and open dining space, wish we lived closer to this lovely area. read more

Groucho's Deli - Deli Club and *Brown Moose - Delis Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

Came in for lunch on a Sunday since it was one of the only places open in downtown. I really enjoyed my Deli Club, Cheerwine, and herb slaw. The sandwiches are large! The menu has plenty of choices and a good selection of bread; I had pumpernickel. One interesting thing I noted was bologna as an inclusion on sandwiches where I would normally expect pepperoni. The service was friendly and fast! I would visit here again for lunch. read more

The service was fast and friendly. The food was amazing!! We chose this place because we saw people were leaving with big to go orders, if the locals love it... My husband had the Rueben sandwich and I had a salad that was huge! I was able to eat it for a couple days!! The prices were very reasonable. We would have gone back if we weren't traveling. read more

Quick lunch option in downtown, it is fast and yummy. Sandwiches are small for me though maybe because I am used to Firehouse subs/ Publix size. read more

Dude, idk what their special sauce is made of, but I could drink it on its own. Subs were so good I could've ate about 14 on my own. Vibes were small town sandwich shop which is perfect because this is what that was. And small town hospitality was on full display. read more

great little deli sandwich shop with fun unique dressings and sides that they make in house. My wife had a chicken salad power meal and it was fresh and great also. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Love this place. The food is always fresh and I absolutely love "my wife's salad". The 45 sauce is to die for, and the bread on the sub sandwiches are awesome. There are days that I just wait for the workday to finish so I can go here and have the salad. Great place and awesome location in downtown statesville. Stop by and visit. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing food and service. Started eating here a couple of years ago with my son. Reuben's are amazing

We were car shopping in the Statessville area this week and wanted to try a new lunch spot. Groucho's appeared to be liked by many. My wife and I felt our sandwich baskets were boring. My wife got the Reuben. It was served on I toasted and Un grilled bread. I ordered a "flavorful" international sub sandwhich. It was served in a hoagie roll with a slice of cheese and packed with a characterless ham )nothing else but an oil and vinegar dipping sauce). Our meals were so boring we plan to never eat here again. read more

Visited for lunch today, super cute restaurant on the corner of downtown Statesville! Honestly I was looking for another place and walked in by mistake! A happy mistake! Everyone here is wearing masks and social distancing protocols are practiced. The servers are so kind and my food came out so quickly! My sandwich, a turkey and ham melt with swiss cheese was yummy! My plan was to eat half and take the other half home, but it didn't make it! I ate the whole thing! The ham and turkey were shaved to the point that they were falling apart and the bread was fresh. For me, the bread was too much. I'm not a fan of big huge rolls, but am sure I'm in the minority. Still, it was soft and delicious, I just peeled off one side of the bun as best I could. The tea was sweet and fresh! Anyone who's had skunky tea knows how important fresh is. I took mine to go which I rarely do. I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches! read more

This Restaurant NEEDS some work.... Today I went out with my family for a sit down meal, it was packed! Funny that most of the seats that we're taking up were by the trash and leftover food that the employees did not decide to pick up yet. once I finally got a seat, it took almost more than 20 minutes for a employee to come around and take our order and I'm not going to say that all that was the reason of this one star review, anyways me and my family decided instead of having to wait that long we might as well get takeout. But my mouth was opened once I saw what was in my food! there was a black bug in my food alive still crawling around. I was appalled I even gagged. I have never ever been to such a low tier standing place where there were alive bugs in my food Grouchos you can do a lot better. This is why I strongly suggest you eat somewhere else. read more
