This year’s Best Sandwich Shop recognition marks Groucho’s Deli’s sixth consecutive win in The Tiger’s Best of Clemson.

This streak comes as no surprise to many in the Clemson community. Over the years, the restaurant has consistently delivered reliable service, familiar flavors and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.

Its continued success reflects not only strong customer loyalty but also a lasting reputation built on trust and consistency. Known for its signature deli sandwiches and famous Formula 45 sauce, Groucho’s has built a loyal following in Clemson.

Favorites like the STP Dipper and Apollo Dipper remain popular, served on freshly baked bread with high-quality meats and flavorful combinations. Beyond sandwiches, the menu also features salads, soups and sides, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch between classes or a laid-back dinner with friends.

The variety and consistency of the menu have helped it remain a reliable option for customers of all ages.

Founded in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1941, Groucho’s brings decades of deli tradition to its Clemson location. That history shows not only in the menu but also in the way the restaurant approaches customer service. In previous years, management has emphasized that service plays a major role in its continued success, noting that “the service is what really sets us apart.”

That commitment to friendliness and efficiency, paired with dependable food quality, has helped Groucho’s maintain its strong ties to the Clemson community. The restaurant has also stayed closely connected to campus life through percent nights, partnerships with student organizations and busy game-day crowds.

Its central location and long-standing presence have made it a familiar meeting spot for generations of Clemson students. With another Best of Clemson title to its name, Groucho’s Deli continues to stand tall as a community staple, firmly grounded in the hearts of those it serves year after year.
