For a legendary sandwich experience in Blythewood, visit Groucho's Deli at 730 University Village Dr. Since 1941, we've been serving up our famous Dipper-style subs, loaded salads, and signature sauces. We are proud to be your neighborhood deli, serving the Blythewood community with quality ingredients and a taste of tradition.
Groucho's Deli is known for its hot, open-faced Dipper sandwiches and its signature Formula 45 sauce. Harold "Groucho" Miller founded Groucho's in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1941. Today it's a fast-casual neighborhood deli that serves made-to-order warm deli sandwiches, fresh salads and award-winning sweet tea, all made with fresh, never-frozen ingredients. The deli still uses the founder's original recipes for potato salad, coleslaw and dressings, and it still follows his motto: "Quality is the most important ingredient in a sandwich."
What sets Groucho's Deli apart is more than eight decades of history and signature recipes you won't find anywhere else. Its trademarked Dipper sandwiches came out in the 1960s. They're served hot and open-faced with a side of sauce for dipping. The most famous sauce is Formula 45, a tangy housemade dressing perfected in 1945. Groucho's still makes the founder's original potato salad, coleslaw, and dressings, and it builds every sandwich to order with fresh, whole-muscle protein and produce. Groucho's has grown into one of the Southeast's best-known deli brands, but each location is still meant to be "Your Neighborhood Deli." That means fast, friendly service and roots in the local community, not just another chain stop.
A Dipper is a Groucho's Deli original: a hot, open-faced sub served with a side of sauce for dipping. Most guests choose Formula 45, a tangy dressing perfected in 1945. Groucho's Deli introduced Dippers in the 1960s, and the best-known are the STP Dipper and the Apollo Dipper, named after the Apollo space capsule.
