Groucho's Deli — Restaurant in Chapin

We stopped in for a light supper and we were completely impressed and satisfied with Grouchos. We reviewed the menu and selected the Junior versions of several sandwiches. These will come on a 4-5inch sub roll that must have come from heavens bakery itself. Delightfully soft, it still has great chew and a hint of delicious yeastiness. I selected the turkey and ham, with a provolone topping. The meats were thinly sliced and juicy, while the cheese was perfectly melted over the top. The entire sandwich simply works perfectly in itself but then we found the dipping sauce. Ohhhhh, the dipping sauce. This is something so wonderfully put together and pairs so well with their sandwiches it's practically sinful. Think Thousand Island, times a thousand. Seriously, I think these guys can make their mark with the sauce alone. Highly recommend this place. Don't look here for some kind of foofoo atmosphere. These guys run a neat, clean shop that you'll be happy to...

Once there no one was in store and was told to wait by the waitress that was watching TV and undoing carry out bags and putting them on a rack. After waiting awhile she finally came and took my order and told me that it would just be a little bit. While I was waiting there were 3 other customers that came in and picked up orders and 2 other customers came in and ordered as well. My waiting time seemed to be prolonging, so I went outside and smoked a cigarette. After finishing smoking a whole cigarette, I came back in the store and still waiting about another 10 minutes just for 1 sandwich. Finally, I received it and I checked to be sure that my extra sauce was there because I really did not want to drive all the way back to get the sauce that I paid for. Luckily it was in there! Good job to the preparator. The main negative thing was being somewhat ignored at first and then just being put on hold for...

I have been eating at Groucho's for 32 years. I live in Irmo and usually frequent that store. I work in Chapin and had the opportunity to run out and pick up lunch today. I decided on Grouchos of Chapin. It was the worst sandwich I have ever had from a Grouchos. (and I have eaten at a lot of them) The sandwich had spent so much time in the microwave to melt the cheese that it was like rubber. Barely edible. The bottom was so soggy that I couldn't pick it up with out it falling apart and had to resort to using a fork. I am sure that it depends on who is cooking on any particular day that can either make a great sandwich, or as was the case today, a terrible one. I haven't sworn off of Groucho's completely as this was the first time in 32 years that the sandwich was so bad I felt the need to write a review, but I will definitely reconsider my lunch choices...
