    About Groucho's Deli

    Harold "Groucho" Miller came to Columbia, S.C. in 1941 with a handful of original recipes for potato salad, coleslaw, and various salad and sandwich dressings, most of which were thought up during his childhood in a Philadelphia orphanage. These humble beginnings along with the idea that, "quality is the most important ingredient in a sandwich," have led Groucho's to legendary restaurant status for 80 years.
