Groucho’s Deli

My daughter took me here for lunch and i never knew this place was here. I loved it i had the broccoli soup and grilled cheese sandwich and it came with chips dipping sauce and a pickle. It was delicious and i also had sweet tea which also was very good. Can’t wait to eat here again. Highly recommend.

I would have never located this place without the recommendation from a friend. I am not the biggest fan of sandwich shops so I usually have to rely on the advice of others when choosing a place. This was a great find. It is actually a small chain but it has the feel and attitude of a small, locally owned business. For me, that means great service and a level of engagement by the staff that tells me I am not just a number on the bottom of my register receipt.
We went for lunch and the place was packed inside as well as at the drive-​thru. Nobody seemed to be waiting very long for anything here. The food came out quickly and was some of the freshest deli I have had in quite awhile. There is certainly nothing local (sandwich shop) that I have had so far that surpasses the sandwich I had here.
I ordered the White Moose and my co-​diner had the Big Dipper. We both loved our choices. Every ingredient on each sandwich was fresh and the flavors we pretty much perfection. This was one of those dining experiences where I just ignored my usual calorie-​carb issues and enjoyed life. It was worth it.
p. s. Do yourself a favor and try the Salted Caramel Brownie. It’s one of the reasons God created the gym.

I’ve gone here about once a week for the past 2 years. Food was is always on point and service is friendly and attentive. They can fall behind at times during the lunch hour rush.

I had the chef salad for the first time tonight. It was very filling. I ate half before I went to bible study. I tried to eat the rest when I got back, but it was too much meat left. It was delicious! I would definitely go back for another one! I did pick up a menu and my son wants to try the tuna melt! We may have found a new place to eat on a regular!!!

We walked out without ordering. There were 2 employees and my daughter and me. We wanted to order a sandwich but part of the description on the menu was «green salad center». We asked the girl what that meant and she read it and said «I don’t know». We said, «can you ask?». She went and asked the cook and he didn’t know either. We said, «well how would you fix it if we order it?». She looked dumb founded and turned to go talk to the cook again. After a few minutes we walked out. Wow!

We stopped by here on our way to Myrtle Beach. I called ahead for our order so we didn’t have to wait She told me 20 minutes. When we got there we gave them a little extra time by using the restroom. When we were done I went to get our order. The girl couldn’t find it. she was looking on every note pad drawer and counter. She finally found it and put the order in. She told me it would be a few minutes. 10 minutes later the order was ready. She apologized for out order because the computer was messed up. The sandwiches’ are always great there but a little organization might help.

I’m staying in town for work and have had trouble finding something good. I saw the reviews and decided that it seemed worth the 30 minutes round trip. Hey, a sandwich would be pretty hard to mess up right?
The sandwich I got was extremely bland, just a chunk of chicken with some dressing on a generic bun. Worst meal I’ve had in quite some time.
The staff was nice, but this was worse than fast food.

Don’t bother. Go to Jimmy Johns instead. Service is excellent but food is mediocre. And I usually go out of my way to support local businesses.

Traveling with dogs? Perfect quick stop, order healthy food, eat outside with your furry babies.
Vegetarian options, nice staff.

Great sandwiches and good service. Definitely worth the drive off the highway to get away from fast food. Would definitely go again.

This place is amazing! First of all — -most important part is that it has a great owner and sunday staff. We called in to say we were 20 minutes away and we had 30 people coming to eat. We were told, thanks for the call and they will make it work. When we got to the restaurant, only two people were working (and they were working hard). Within 10 minutes of being seated — 3 more people came in to help, including the owner.
Secondly, the menu and food is not like your common sub or sandwich restaurants. If you are visiting Florence, you need to try Groucho’s. Food was perfect size, great taste, and the staff do a good job of fixing you up with what you like. The FORMULA 45 is simple and excellent!
We will continue to go back to this restaurant, and we appreciate how great the food is and how wonderful the service was. Thank you for a great experience!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We stopped by this deli while on a road trip. It’s a few miles off I-​95 with a little bit of traffic, but WORTH IT! The prices are VERY reasonable and the sandwiches were delicious. I got the Brown Moose and the Formula 45 dressing made it unbelievably good.
We sat outside on the sidewalk patio and the waitress brought our puppy a bowl of water.
The place, although it’s a small chain, seems to have some history-​opened in 1941. I recommend it for a quick lunch.

Really great place to stop on way to the beach! Went with my grandparents and there is something for everyone!
The «formula 45» dip is awesome! I could eat it on cardboard. Daily specials on sandwiches. Try the Apollo dipper.
Really nice waitress. Seems to be a very friendly place! I’d make this a regular lunch stop if I lived close.

Great little deli. We stopped down there on our way to Florida. Food was great, service was great. Definitely a nice break from the typical fast food you find along 95.

Really tasty sandwiches and salads. Dip your sandwich and chips in the 45 sauce; its great! Service is decent and friendly. Roast beef was a little more rare than I like, but to each his own. Everything else I have had there has been super.
To add on to AMD’s review, Trip is a Florence native who graduated from West Florence High. Its good to see natives starting successful local business; especially with all the chain restaurants out there.
Would have been a 5 review if they had more on the menu besides sandwiches and salads.

YAY!!! Groucho’s in Florence!!! This is one of three locations in town now thanks to former South Carolina Gamecock Baseball Player, Trip Kelly and his wife.
Now I love Substation II, as they were a staple in my high school diet, but I would choose Groucho’s over them any day. They have great hot sammies, my favorites are the «Dippers». The service here is pleasant and we did not have to wait to terribly long for our food. I would recommend people stopping here on their way to the beach!
