Groucho’s Deli: Kids Eat Free Saturdays & What to Order

Posted on by Kidding Around Team |

Columbia has several great, local places to eat that have been around a long time, including Groucho’s Deli, where kids eat free on Saturdays!

The kids eat free offer is for dine-in on Saturdays after 4:00 pm (until 8:30 pm), one kids’ meal for every adult meal purchased.

Maybe that love of kids and family time is because its owner, who founded the deli in Columbia in 1941, was an orphan. Continuing in generosity, Groucho’s offers community giveback programs and loyal customer rewards as well.

That free kids’ meal comes with a sandwich, drink, and a side. Kids’ meal options include PB&J, grilled cheese, or all-beef hotdogs, so if you have a picky eater, this place is great. For a healthier option, you can go with pretzels over chips and drinks include 100% juice, milk, and water options as well.

So, why Groucho’s?

Groucho’s flavor is quality deli. They do not use frozen or precut meats. No restructured meat products, soy byproducts, or fillers. This is fresh food, and you can tell.

What are they most well-known for?

  • STP Dipper
  • Giant Salads like “My Wife’s Salad Bowl”
  • House sauces, dressings, and dips such as Formula 45, my favorite (available by pints as well)
  • Their soups, especially potato
  • Signature pasta salad

They also have veggie options, heart-healthy options, and smaller portion options. Just check out their massive menu with great photos. You can order online for pick up or delivery. Also, they offer catering.

Groucho’s Deli Columbia, SC Locations

They have locations in:

  • Five Points (the original)
  • Sparkleberry (northeast Cola near Spring Valley)
  • West Columbia
  • Irmo
  • Lexington
  • Forest Acres (currently closed, re-opening soon).

There are other locations in Chapin, Blythewood, Camden and even more now reaching throughout the state and into North Carolina and Georgia as people discover this tasty family business.

Sparkleberry has the roomiest seating, in our experience.

So, it’s a great place to have a family dinner on the weekend, where kids eat free and parents can order whatever they want.
