    I simply couldn't find a legitimate reason to give it 4 stars. Andy's deli features sandwiches made from freshly cut cheeses and meats. Every sandwich, accompanied by his secret sauce, has been hot and delicious. My favorite thus far is the Andy's Special.

    The place is probably not for everyone. The size of the sandwich relative to it's price makes me feel ripped off sometimes. A lunch for two, including drinks, can cost over $13. I don't complain though. The quality of the sandwiches are consistent and the employees are always friendly, and that keeps me coming back. I guess the quality of service depends on time of day since they get really busy at certain hours. When it was slow, Andy's son (who's name I've forgot) came to our table and refilled our drinks during a nice conversation.

    The place is worth a try unless you're a Clemson fan.

    The Andy's Special.
    This is the one thing I miss about being a meat eater.  Ah, the warm bread, the bacon bits, the delectable dipping sauce, the... STOP IT!  Stop it right this minute!  I am a VEGETARIAN!  Seriousuly, mouth, stop watering!
    Stupid Andy's.

    I got the Andy's Special today and it's like I found a piece of my soul that I'd never realized had been missing for so long.  Man, what a sandwich!  To look at it on paper nothing stands out.  It's just roast beef, turkey, cheese and bacon bits.  That first bite tells a completely different story.  The warm bread was most certainly an outstanding compliment to the right combination of such simple components.

    My wife has a thing for ice and said this is now her favorite ice ever.  I agree, the way it's shaved seems to sort of compress between your teeth for a neat texture and experience.

    The tea was just a bit weak but I can't think of anything else to complain about.

    For a deli, it is 4 star for food, not atmosphere.  But you go there for food, most likely, not decor.  I haven't ever been disappointed, and staff is friendly.

    Awesome place to eat! Very similar to grouchos deli. Andy is very nice and so is the rest of the staff.

    Andy's Deli is a staple establishment in Columbia. It's tucked in the heart of Five Points, just across the street from Papa Jazz with its very own parking lot (very helpful during the lunch hour). Andy's proudly shows USC posters, flyers and photos that go as far back as the 70's if I remember right. It's just a little sandwich shop....but WOW....those sandwiches...they have the best sauce, and the bread is superb. Andy works the register every day, and could not be a friendlier guy...calling all the ladies "my dear". I love it. I miss it. I need to go back.

    I know all about the Groucho's Vs. Andy's rivalry, but honestly? I prefer Andy's. The food is JUST AS GOOD, & it was never crawling with frat boys trying to nurse a hangover. All that aside, Andy is an awesome dude.

    My favorite place to eat in Columbia by far! When my parents went to school here, they used to eat here and I grew up eating Andy's every time we visited Columbia. Andy is always there and he is so friendly. If you are a repeat visited he usually remembers you and knows what you usually order. The Andy's Special is a must, but all the sandwiches are amazing. His secret sauce you dip your sandwich in is incredible. Groucho's has got nothing on Andy's!
