This was my first time visiting this restaurant. From the minute you walk in and see cases of beautiful baked goods, you know it's got to be good. The staff was welcoming and very courteous. Service was fast and efficient even during lunch. The food was great. I got the half Rueben with the clam chowder, and it was excellent. I will definitely return here again. If your from the Phoenix area, it is right off the 101 and 202 interchange. Well worth your time. read more

We got the Reuben with Pastrami. No sauerkraut or 1000 island and the bread was soggy. Also got the turkey with dressing. It was 2 slices of turkey lunchmeat. No cranberry sauce like it was supposed to come with. Got the potato pancakes and they were way over cooked. My Polish mother taught me to make better. $52 for food that was subpar at best. Will not be going back read more

My husband and I enjoyed brunch at Chompies in Chandler. I had the Cabo Skillet and he ordered the Baja Omelet. Toasted Onion Bagel with Chive Cream cheese please! So good. read more

My home town go to for 30 years!!! Knew the prior owners well... forever grateful and will miss you...

Stopped by here for the first time on Saturday afternoon in a group of 6. It wasn't too busy, we were sat right away. It did take quite awhile for our server to come around and ask what we would like to drink. Once the server came by for our drink order, he was very responsive and quick. I ordered the original Jewish sliders with a side of coleslaw. I enjoyed these a lot. The sliders were a good size and 2 was a perfect size. I would definitely order these again. read more

The setting is a large New York-style deli, including a giant display case of savory foods and baked goods the second you walk in the front door. The staff was friendly and seated us right away and our server was attentive and had a great personality. The food was served hot and the perfect 'comfort' dish. I had the Jewish Sliders and highly recommend! My dad is old school and misses liver and onions so we will be returning soon to let him enjoy this hard to find dish. If you haven't been, give it a shot! read more

Came recently for a quick dinner before heading to another event. Store wasn't busy and we were immediately sat at a booth. Our server, Allison, was attentive and friendly. We've eaten here so many times and typically have the same things! I ordered the full pastrami sandwich with coleslaw and wife had their Jewish sliders. And we splurged on the chocolate cake, which is our typical dessert here! You can't get a better chocolate fix... read more

Came in on a late Sunday morning, wait was about 15 minutes. Had the New York sliders and a brisket breakfast sandwich. Sliders were super yummy and easy to eat. Breakfast sandwich was pretty large, but also really good! Service was friendly and price was reasonable. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been a fan of Chompies forever, but today's experience absolutely blew me away. I ordered their breakfast sliders (helloooo challah bread) and a black and white cookie via doordash and man alive was it good. The hashbrowns were crispy and delicious and the sliders! My lanta. I could only eat one lol but I'm definitely saving the other for later. The challah bread was fluffy and lovely, while the sausage, egg, and cheese provided the savory aspect. The black and white cookie was GINORMOUS lol and will definitely take some nibbling over time. This was such a a great experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend checking this place out. read more

The menu is expansive and easily accommodates everyone. Portion sizes good except for the sandwich- A half for $17.99 seemed pricey and kinda small. The potato salad was excellent. Skillets were loaded and the bagels were served fresh: many choices and many cream cheeses. Service friendly and adequate: servers had large areas to cover. Atmosphere friendly and casual. The location is easy to get to and the parking lot large. read more

Unfortunately this place has really gone down hill in the quality of their food. I used to really enjoy their pastrami, but my wife and I dropped by today and both our dishes were just mediocre. My 1/2 pastrami on sourdough had no flavor and the bread was dry. My matzoball soup was OK, but not near as good as it used to be. My wife had the open face tuna melt and she not only didn't finish it, but said she wouldn't recommend it. On a more positive note, plenty of parking, not crowded and easy to get a table and the service was great; but you return to restaurants for the food and we not be going back very soon. read more

Arrived and waited a little bit to be seated even though the restaurant was near empty. Tried the Salad Sampler, a new menu item that can be shared or works as an entree as well. The food is presented on a board and includes one scoop of chicken salad, tuna salad and egg salad with a bagel, cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion. Delicious and very satisfying. Love Chompie's everything bagels! The place has a great NY decor and vibe. Recommend! read more

UPDATE- I spoke to the manager who was very upset with how my experience went. She appreciated my calling and said the GM will call tomorrow to make things right. I am very impressed. I know I said I would not go back but family was in town so we stopped for baked goodies. I had asked for a sample of rainbow cookies that we had already ordered because my mom and niece had never had them. I was told I can only sample something BEFORE I order it. We likely would have gotten more if allowed a sample because the others loved the ones we bought. We spent $60 in less than 10 minutes. Surely a little sample would not have broken the bank. Employees were polite but not exactly friendly. The place was clean. read more

The food was amazing! Huge portions, nobody could finish! The service was great! Fun decorations and vibe. read more

I tried their new cream horns. It is a personal favorite. I haven't found a decent one since I moved to AZ. I was very disappointed. The cream horn was small and cost $4.99. The cream grilling was only in the first inch or so of the horn. It also tasted stale. What a disappointment. On the bright side the chocolate cupcake was delicious. The staff were helpful. read more

So, I am a Reuben fan! It is literally my favorite sandwich. If it is on the menu I am trying it. Still not New York but this sandwich is excellent. It is a little pricy as I eat Reuben's all around the country. But the large portion size of thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing, melted in my mouth. Their Rye bread tastes bakery fresh. The combination had my feet swinging for joy. The service was fast and efficient for the lunch crowd. We enjoyed are meal and everyone was satisfied. Great job on making such a wonderful meal! read more

My husband wanted to try this place and I was prepared to only have a drink as someone with celiac disease. Apparently Chompie's used to have a gluten-free menu but no longer have a separate menu nor do they have a marked menu. Unfortunately the website doesn't reflect this information and still displays a "gluten-free friendly" page with information about accessing their gluten-free menu. Today their website reads: "You'll find the scrumptious gluten-free goodies you've been craving on our restaurant menu and at our bakery counter. Our gluten-friendly menu was created with gluten allergies and gluten sensitivity in mind. Browse our Menu for gluten-free friendly menu items as well as selections on our Kids' Menu. You may also order gluten-friendly items from our online store." The waiter told me that although they don't have a gluten-free menu anymore, the omelets are just cracked eggs with no additives like other famous breakfast chains. He said they could make an omelets gluten-free as long as my side was fruit because the potatoes are t celiac-safe. I had the $16.28 chorizo con queso omelet with a side of fruit and a gluten-free bagel. I asked that they neither toast it nor cut it to prevent cross contamination. They brought me a serrated knife to cut it myself. My husband had a not gluten-free pastrami sandwich for $15.99 and he liked it. Overall, my meal was fine but I wouldn't come here as a celiac by myself. There's just way too much gluten that could potentially cross-contaminate the meal. As an aside, one thing that bothered me that wasn't food related was that their male busser was listening to music and then having a facetime conversation with a woman with his phone tucked into his hat. I don't care if staff listens to music provided they're using headphones. Nobody wants to hear a facetime conversation or someone's music on a cell phone in public. Visited: December 2024 read more

So many of the baked goods here are very good. And you can go in and just buy from the bakery. On the restaurant side we also had exceptional service. The food was good, but not amazing. Portions on the smaller side and prices on the higher side make it hard to race about. read more

Three and a half stars, but rounding up since I grew up often eating at one of their original locations (I always had one of those New York Seltzers, and for some reason, they served albondigas soup). I had a pastrami Reuben with potato salad. First, the potato salad was great. Creamy and chunky, and not too salty. The Reuben overall was tasty, but the pastrami was really oily and it just wasn't particularly tender. I hate it when I take a bite out of a sandwich and can't pierce through all the fillings. Then as I pull away, a bunch of fillings get pulled out and dribble all over the place. And then I'm left with a lop-sided sandwich. A tasty, but lop-sided sandwich. Come here for tasty NY deli standards, but you might end up with a lop-sided sandwich. read more

Good quality kosher deli. Not quite as good as the East Coast but for Arizona it is quite good. We were here for a Bat Mitzvah Shabbat dinner and had stuffed cabbage and brisket with carrots and latkes. The ambiance was nice with New York decor and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Got a kind helpful and joyful welcome from Brian. Told him my mom loved Chompies and the Early Riser was her last request to eat before dying. We being in town from California. Waitress was okay, not the most friendly, until the tip. I ordered a side salad and breakfast potatoes. Salad had egg, so they replaced it. Not the best, lettuce didn't look or taste the freshest. Blue cheese mediocre. I was a tad bummed before heading back to California. Thankful Brian made our stop at Chompies worthwhile. He certainly helped my Yelp review. read more

Terrible I walked in this morning to the deli Counter 3 staff and NO one acknowledged me at all I stood there looking at the case and a party came from the restaurant looking to purchase some goodies they had on the table watch right up to the register and the girl was like hi how can I help you after I've been standing there for five minutes never acknowledged me at all I walked out ! Seriously you saw me standing there and you never said anything to me absolutely horrible we were gonna bring a party at 20 in this weekend for brunch forget that we'll go somewhere else read more

Stopped by Chompie's on our way home from the airport Saturday morning and it was really good food. We got there around 10:00 and they were busy but not full, we were immediately seated and soon our waitress came by to get our drink orders. I have had lunch there several times and I always get the "Chompie's Choice" sandwich (corned beef & pastrami) so when I saw the Corned Beef Hash on the breakfast menu I had high expectations and we were not disappointed. As usual a large plate of corned beef hash with crispy well seasoned potatoes, soft scrambled eggs, and an everything bagel along with a side of potato pancake was plenty of food for the two of us. The corned beef was very tender and flavorful, the eggs were soft and fluffy and the everything bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted. Can't remember the last time I had latke but it was crispy and with a smear of sour cream; it was very good. Overall a very good breakfast and we hope to get back there soon. read more

Full transparency: review is only for sweets. Amazing. Black and white cookie. The real deal from this authentic Jewish deli!!!!! NYC calls it back and white. Boston calls it half moon. Cake batter. Soft cookie. 2 types of chocolate. Black. White. Deeelish. Soft and chewy. Many times free samples in the dessert grab and go take out area. Support this small business. I'll be back for a pastrami or corned beef sandwich. read more

Just got home from there. Having been there many times, this was by far the worst. After spending $50.00, the Mrs. had a half pastrami, and the meat was about half of what it used to be. I had the pastrami, corned beef, and brisket; the brisket was dry and overcooked, and the pastrami and corned beef were hardly any. The only thing good was the pickles and potato salad. And of course I did not take pictures as the phone was @ home. The picture is @ home, This is what is left of the Mrs half, and she only ate half. So, needless to say, probably won't be going back. :( read more

I give them a 4 because I never ate in the dining room area. Only coming in to get keto bread and gluten free cookies. They do have a nice selection but not to many for glutinous free. The keto bread is pretty good and I eat it a lot. They also have keto bagels as well. Very clean in bakery area. The workers are very nice and answered ll my questions. read more

This was our 3rd visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We were greeted promptly and seated.

We will return. read more

Not like it used to be. Bought two 1/2 Mile High pastrami sandwiches and a soda for $45. The amount of pastrami was pitiful. It used to be a challenge to eat it all. Now I left hungry. read more

Tried Chompie's a few times and as a person who was raised Jewish, it just really doesn't cut it for me. The blintzes are so loaded with sugar that the taste is off and the latkes and pastrami are extremely greasy. I like that there are GF options but even some of them have illegal ingredients like rye flour. I do love the fun assortment of bagels and cream cheese. The staff is nice but not at all educated on ingredients or kitchen capabilities. I asked questions about cooking oils and was told no modifications could be made (without even consulting a manager or kitchen personnel) and ingredients in GF options and was handed the package to read. read more

I love trompe's you walk into the great big bakery area oh my gosh everything looks so good and it is trust me. I probably tried most of the things in the bakery lol. It is a charming environment nothing to write home about lol but it's fine. Everything seems clean they stay busy the locations I have been to, but this one is near the Chandler mall has good parking and I've never had to wait more than 5 to 10 minutes for a seat, even if it's busy I love the beef and barley soup. I love their chef salad. Great sandwiches great breakfast. My daughter loved the kids meal. We have never had a bad experience with any of the service always seems super friendly and ready to serve read more

I had the grilled patty melt and it was delicious. The meat was thick and cooked well and tasty. Their fries were very hot and great. Our server was very nice and helpful. Everyone was happy and nice since it was Christmas Day. There were a lot of people waiting to eat but we only had to wait 15 minutes for lunch. It was a great lunch on Christmas Day read more

Here's the good. The eggs were perfect, the hash browns were on target, and the bacon was exactly how I like it. Even the whole wheat toast was perfect. So why only 3 stars? The service sucked. I was seated for 30 min before even getting a menu. Then another 30 min wait to order. My second cup of coffee was served 2 minutes before I left. read more

Not sure what has happened to this place. It used to be a family favorite for breakfast. The food quality has extremely changed. Everything used to be so good but now it's almost like they find any leftover ingredient and throw it together to serve you. Even the bagels are not fresh. Other than one waitress who's always so sweet (miss L) everyone else just seem like they truly hate their job or people in general. There is one guy who's been our server the last few times we've gone, he just takes top place for bad service. He's always angry, shows up to greet the table late, then rushes you to take the order and when we've asked for more coffee, he's disappeared. I understand that he might be having a bad day or going through something but when it becomes a pattern and it's the same every single time then it becomes a problem. And I have to say the place has not been the cleanest, it's like you get the ick being there and the last time my family and I were there, sure enough, we saw a roach crawling right next to us on the table. It is disgusting! Needless to say we barely touched our food and left. To the managers and owners of this place, please take the time to really clean and maybe call pest control. This is not ok! We will not be returning which is a shame because we truly loved Chompies. read more
