Always fast and fresh no matter how busy they are. Great customer service from the moment you walk in.

The food here is great for something quick. It's like a sit down version of Firehouse but better. The dips some of the subs have is amazing. The service is usually pretty good and they are pretty quick on getting your order through. The restaurant is clean and feels kind of old school. read more

Great spot! Saw it going through town. Everyone was friendly! Short wait for the food. Sandwiches were very good! read more

The place was packed and it's obviously a local Favorite. My wife's meal looked amazing but my sandwich was missing lettuce and tomato for some reason. Should have been all of three ingredients but only got one and bread. Staff were friendly though a little scatterbrained and on the younger and untrained side. Several servers tried to bring us the wrong items. Will try again in the future read more

Enjoy eating lunch every time! The STP is my all-time favorite! Fast and friendly service. Always enjoyable.

Food was on point great service clean place. Parking was an open parking area. Will be going back.

I always enjoy Groucho's and am addicted to the 45 sauce. The menu is varied enough to please everyone. I've always had good service and good food at this location. read more

I was in the Columbia area and needed some lunch on the fly. Additionally, I was hoping for something healthier than many fast casual/quick options. Groucho's Deli to the rescue! Groucho's is a regional chain with most locations in South Carolina (and a couple in North Carolina and one in Georgia). That said, it all started in Columbia in 1941 with Harold "Groucho" Miller. I love the story that he dreamed up recipes during childhood living in the orphanage in Philadelphia, made his way to Columbia with those recipes and the rest if Groucho's Deli history. They serve up a wonderful variety of sandwiches and an impressive variety of salads as well. I opted for the chicken power salad, which consisted of a bed of crisp and fresh greens, feta, greek olives, cucumber, tomato, and sliced chicken breast marinated in their Italian dressing. It was exactly what I was looking for--filling, fresh, veggie filled fabulousness. I didn't dine in but got my salad delivered and it was well packaged and cool and fresh on arrival. Get to it! read more

Food was great service was fast and the workers were nice! Got the club and absolutely devoured it and my mom got the Arcadian chicken salad and said it was fresh and delicious! read more

I feel like this place is trying to stay under the radar... or maybe it's a mostly locals only situation... After a day of walking through Congaree National Park I was craving a salad and searched yelp as my brother drove.. out of all the places I picked her and BAM!! Simple done wonderful! I had My Wife's Salad- it the spot perfectly! Added the pasta salad and it was great! He had a Greek type salad and loved it- so much chicken. The only thing we would both add is red onions. Kimberly H was our server and she was great! THIS IS A MUST STOP IF YOU ARE DRIVING THRU! read more

Called in an order, staff forgot to make me pay, so I went back up to pay (not a big deal) Employee with my drink sets it down for me I walk to get it and another employee starts bitchin at me because I'm in an employee only area (it was not obvious at all and not marked) this is where my drink was given to me, and I was still on the customer side of the counter, she was just very rude Then I drive back to work only 5 min down the road and my food was given to me cold read more

I really love the location and really should eat here much more than I do. They are right next to my dentist's office so I will at least come in twice a year. I don't know why I don't go more, because it's delicious. That 45 sauce is so good, I always get extra. I grew up eating Groucho's, mostly the five points location. I even played on their softball team one summer. My go to is the my wife's salad. I just make sure no cucumbers, and so far they've never let me down. As far as my own wife they offere a couple of good veggie options too. read more

Food was fresh and delicious and was greatly paired with dr. Brown cream soda so good

Great service! Always love coming here! The food is always freshly made and amazing. The staff is super friendly and greets you at the door! Id recommend anyone coming to columbia to try out grouchos because it is a staple!!! read more

Warning. They refuse to accommodate any changes to your order. Staff & manger could not figure out how to add bacon strips and remove turkey from a sandwich; I've ordered the same sandwich many times with no issue. Ended up convincing my husband that it would be best to just order me a different sandwich completely. Quality of the sandwich I did receive was subpar. Dry, and bacon undercooked. read more

Great place for a big sandwich. I ended up taking half of it with me for a meal later. They make everything fresh and it shows. Very good stuff! read more

Groucho's Deli - Delis Near Me - West Columbia, South Carolina

We were driving through town and were looking for a quick bite to eat with lots of options for our family of 4 and my in-laws. This place is definitely family friendly. The staff was so nice and helpful as this was our first time visiting and it did take a minute to read over the menu. And I fully intended to take pictures of our food but when it came we all dug in so fast that it was gone by the time I remembered I meant to take a picture! But I highly recommend the BLC Chicken Critter. We also had 2 people order the mid east special. They have a few homemade sauces and they were surprisingly good. Overall a very great experience, I would eat here again if I saw one or was in town again! read more

Great food and fast service. Employees are nice and welcoming. Restaurant is clean and open.

The food was amazing. This was a big chance stop the outside appearance was not the best. However it t was well worth it. I was so excited to try their delicious sandwiches I read about on yelp and trust me everything about the reviews are accurate. The first bite I had to order another sandwich to go. The sandwich was that good on the way out they had homemade chocolate chip cookies they were amazing I got 4 of those. Great food and great service. The only thing negative is they need to do some renovation in the inside it was supper outdated and very 1980 ish however the food was Excellent great job! read more

Great location with good food! The staff is always very helpful. I have eaten here probably over 100 times and always get great service and great food. They also have very good catering options. read more

wow! meet me at the door for my pickup! Service with a smile! Easy to order (or re-order) read more

always a consistent sandwich one of my favorite delis to go to. I like that it is a chain restaurant, but everyone serves fresh deli meat, cut fresh and served warm or cold. Lots of choices and always an amazing delicious consistent flavor. I've never gotten a bad sandwich. read more

Ordered three sandwiches on line and picked them up ten minutes later. All done exactly as ordered. Great sandwiches! Great quality! Great service! read more

Isaac the manager should be released. Also, the waitress with the huge earrings with holes in her ears should be terminated as well. I went for lunch today and the waitress never returned after bringing drinks. I tried the app but it crashed while trying to order at the table. I was able to ask the runner if she could take our order. After about 1 hour we received cold food. My wife asked to speak with the manager Isaac and he told her she needed to find him someone to hire. The waitress that couldn't take the order chimed in and told her she could not do her job for 1 hour. I came back inside and asked for the owners contact and he told me to get lost. I'll wait for Michael the owner to comment below. read more

You will love this place. We have been coming to Groucho's for 40+ years and have never been disappointed. read more

hands down the best place to grab a sandwich! Always fresh, always fast and ALWAYS delicious!

Jazz and Dave are great Also best Ice in town I'll get off a 12 hour shift with no breaks and spike blood sugar with sweet tea enough to get home read more

I can't thank Groucho's enough for catering a lunch I recently held. The food is not only a crowd favorite but their customer service is top notch! Shout out to Isaac for all of his help! read more

Great as always. Consistent no matter how many times I have been Love it and curbside pickup is a great idea read more

Yelp to the rescue. First time visitor so looked up some menu item reviews. Followed Nate Cs recipe for a turkey STP on pumpernickel and just murdered that sandwich. Served warm with formula 45 sauce. They give a large portion of sauce and I thought it was excessive right up to the point I wiped up the last of it with my bread. read more

The food is always fantastic and the people always get my order right and our friendly :-)

Good food, great service, nice ambiance. Love the STP!!! That's all I got. Nuff said. 85 characters is too many to need to explain any review. If this is what you have to need to explain, then I prefer never to review any other restaurant on yelp again. read more

Always good. Easy to order online and pick up. STP with some extra Formula 45 and pickles.

My husband and I have been here three times and every time they have gotten my husband's corned beef on rye wrong. The sandwiches are good but we will not be going back; today was the last straw. The big dipper is good and the formula 45 sauce makes it better. There's a pretty good number of tables inside. If you are ordering outside at the table double check your receipt. read more

one of our favorite to go meals! our order is always ready at the time given when ordering

Friendly service, fresh food! Always ready on specified time when ordering online! Highly recommend...10/10

Came here for lunch and this location is probably the largest than all the others that I have visited. This is great. Once we were in, it's seat yourself. My friend and I came right on in and sat down. Our waitress came by and took our drink and then brought them out. We ordered immediately and then we waited. We waited some more and some more. We ordered salads. Then once we were done, I needed a box. Our waitress was nowhere to be found. The restaurant was packed at this time. So I grabbed my salad and drink and got in line. While in line, a cashier asked me if I needed a box, which I replied yes. She handed it to me with all the other stuff in my hand so once I got to the register to pay, I sat all of it down to use my card, picked it up with my receipt and move to an empty table to sign. My friend ordered a to-go order when we placed our orders and we had to wait 5 minutes for that to come out. Once that came out, she asked for an extra bag for me and then I put my salad in that. Then we left. It was a different experience to say the least but I will more than likely stop back by here again. read more

My husband loves the "my wife's salad". Staff are friendly and attentive. There food is very filling and delicious.

Highly recommend the location on Sunset BLVD, West Columbia. Excellent customer service and great food!

Update: I read the manager comment and need to clarify I'm not "upset" about the experience, but overall annoyed that it took so much effort to get my drinks remade. While he was correct in pointing out that the issue was "quickly resolved", I could have done without the arguments, sarcasm or mocking faces from the staff before the drinks were poured. I won't be going back to this location. Thanks Very rude staff, even after I tipped them for takeout. The soda machines had been serviced and the first sodas poured (mine and my sons) tasted like soda water, I'm assuming due to low syrup dispenser pressure after the service. After asking several times and having to ignore comments that an employee tasted the soda and it was "fine", I finally got my sodas remade and they tasted great. (Newsflash - employee said the soda was good AFTER the original sodas were made, so after the dispensers had caught up to normal pressure, but I didn't feel the need to argue or point that out. It was funny that even my nine year old could figure it out.) Getting two sodas remade after spending over $50 on sandwiches today shouldn't have been an argument, an opportunity to share their doubt with me (the manager said the soda machine settings were "normal") - it was two sodas, for heaven's sake. Back to the science of the machine - it shouldn't take an engineer to understand the simple science behind the tasteless drinks that were first poured after the soda machine service, or why the second round tasted good, but I happen to be one and thought I'd explain to remove any employee doubt Sandwiches are good so I am sure I'll go back to the downtown or Lexington location read more
