Grooby's, Too! - Bluffton

Had lunch there yesterday with a client and definitely would go back for the Philly.

Food quality is slipping. Corned beef dry. Potato salad dry and too spicy. Cole slaw watery.

I've been here quite a few times for lunch and it's really good. It's one of my favorite places to have lunch with a couple friends of mine. We all enjoy it. The atmosphere is welcoming in an old school southern way, the menu has something for everyone, the serving size is more than adequate, and you'll leave here content. While the Rueben or the pastrami sandwiches don't measure up to what you might be used to if you're from up north, you will still enjoy them. After all, this is the south and we aren't known for classic pastrami. I haven't found one yet in the years we've lived here. I've ordered a chopped salad a couple times and it's so big it is a challenge to finish! Quite tasty too. Soups, sandwiches, sweet (or unsweetened) tea... you can have the whole experience here. Servers are proficient and friendly. I might just stop in today for lunch!

Don’t get your expectations up if you choose to dine at this place. One waitress working the entire dining room, as she told us the others didn’t show up. No bartender on duty so we couldn’t order drinks. Chopped Liver appetizer I would pass on. My husband’s #12 sandwich was good, but very poorly constructed, making it a mess to eat. My tuna salad sandwich had a weird, sour taste to it. Cole slaw had a good flavor, but it was swimming in so much dressing, it was more like eating soup. Definitely not an enjoyable or relaxed lunch experience. This was our second time -and very likely our last.

Visited in the afternoon after the lunch rush and it was lovely, no wait to get waited on And the food was served very quickly. The waitress was very friendly with everyone and gave me a suggestion to try The little Italy. I'm glad I asked, it was perfect!
