Steamed NY Deli
Pastrami and corned beef steamed and piled high — the Grouchy, the Manhattan, the Brooklyn and the Reuben.

Family Owned · Since October 2000
Grouchy by name.
Never by nature.
For more than 25 years, Grouchy's has been Alpharetta's slice of New York — big sandwiches, warm service and a menu that tastes like home to every transplant who walks in.
How It Started
Built to fill a very New York–shaped hole.
Bruce Cohn founded Grouchy's NY Deli & Bagels in Alpharetta in October 2000 to fill a need in Atlanta for an upscale deli — one with a unique, clean urban design, fast and friendly service, and high-quality food with portions reminiscent of his days living in New York.
After several successful years, the menu grew: fresh-baked NY-style bagels, freshly whipped cream cheeses, omelettes, colossal egg sandwiches and pancakes for breakfast. Lunch specializes in New York–style Reubens and over-stuffed sandwiches — and every hot deli sandwich is steamed, the New York way, for a healthier and tastier bite.
