Great breakfasts if you stick to their strengths--bagels, challah, potato pancakes, lox, etc. The breakfast sliders are fantastic, and my wife is a huge fan of the breakfast tapas. Skip the skillets, scrambles (with the possible exception of the Leo), omelets, and regular diner fare; this really isn't where Chompie's talents lie and they've been a disappointment every time I've strayed. Oh, and watch your step getting out of your booth. Why they thought it was wise to make you step up 6 inches to sit in them is beyond me. read more

Wow. Massive Fail! Well, this is not surprising. Went to Chompies year's ago. Wasn't impressed. Stopped in today, to give it another try. WOW! We've been to a lot of restaurants, including some very exotic over seas. Amazingly enough, Chompies has managed a massive fail. Ordered pastrami, hard salami, with lettuce, tomato, pickles onions on sourdough bread. So, where do we start. The pickles... not on the sandwich, but rather on the side and shoved into foil. The pickles are so massively covered in brine, there is no resulting classic pickle flavor. Just salty. The sourdough bread. Kid's white bread has more flavor. Now, the tomato and lettuce. What tomato and lettuce? Oh that's right. One small leaf of lettuce smashed into the sandwich, with a paper-thin slice of tomato also smashed in. Now, to the good stuff. The pastrami and hard salami. The hard salami was fully flavored with staleness. The flavor of the meat was enough to strip it off the sandwich and throw it away... not knowing how old it was. And ah yes.. the pastrami. Have you ever had pastrami taste like perfumed soap? Well, we have and it was with this sandwich. Horrid, disgusting, Ohhhh... and lets not forget! As sandwich shops do, they insert a little toothpick with colored cellophane on the tops of them. Well, well, well, what did we find? The toothpicks were shoved in the sandwich so hard, they broke off into bits! We ended up slicing apart the entire section around the toothpick. Now we wait... to see how many splinters really end up in our teeth. Pathetic, frightening, stomach-turning garbage, all for a simple sub-style sandwich costing a whopping $19.00 !! Chompies = FAIL. Just added a photo so you can gather your own opinions. Tell us please, does that meat look good to you? And does the broken tooth picks look appetizing? Good luck to you if you choose to eat at any Chompies. read more

Me and my family waited 10mins at our table no one batted an eye. Final we get our waitress who was talking to a table right next to us and ignored us the first time. We order, food comes out quick. (Thankfully cause we were hungry). The eggs Benedict had what looked like American cheese that wasn't even melted on a plan untoasted bagel and the egg wasn't runny at all. The hash browns looked like they were cooked for 1min pretty much still raw. My mother ordered soda but changed her mind and wanted a coffee..didn't touch the soda at all. Still got charged for it. Waitress stood there and waited for us to pay and tip her didn't even give us a second. Portions were small, price of food went up but the quality went way way down. Very unfortunate used to really enjoy this place. The bathroom was gross and dirty. No paper towels and barely any soap. Great... read more

Visited 8/2/13. It has been a while since I have been to Chompie's. Long before I was involved in Yelp. This was a pleasant change. I had order of sliders which were excellent. I could never finish the challenge!! Also had Clam Chowder which was very good. Ordered a "cup" expecting a small cup and got what I would call a "bowl." Looking forward to my return for the Monte Cristo. Great comfort Deli type food. read more

This was my first time in a Chompie's and first impressions are lasting impressions for me. Let me break this down for you... We entered the restaurant and it was very busy but we didn't have to wait long to be seated and we did get a nice booth. The menu is vast that's the only way I could put it for my first time there I was just overwhelmed by the choice's they offered. I ended up getting the Cajun Chicken, my grandmother had a Meatloaf sandwich both came with potato fries. My Cajun Chicken which was supposed to be HOT was delicious but it was less than mild. My grandmother said her meatloaf wasn't very flavor full, I didn't try it but I would take her word for it. The restaurant was very loud and my grandmother is 80 years old so it was difficult for her to converse with me. The portions are huge neither of us were able to finish our plates, I personally don't care for giant portions. You will be assaulted with food at every turn in this place which makes sensible choices difficult. Chompies, honestly, it reminded me of an upscale Denny's. Better food, but atmosphere was exactly the same... If you've ever been in a typical Denny's you'll know exactly what that comparison means. Our server wasn't the best, we felt neglected at times and she was very pushy for us to hurry and place our order. Overall, my first impression of Chompies was not a good one and I'm still on the fence about weather or not I would return. read more

I stopped by just now to purchase what I thought would be a beautiful cupcake or a slice of cake to take to my friend at work on her birthday. The presentation in the refrigerated unit at the bakery counter was just disgusting! Not only was it ugly and looks like everything had been touched and moved 100 times, there's whipped cream smeared all over the inside of the refrigerated unit that appears to of been there for at least a month because it has turned that crusty yellow color! I am not buying here and even though I've never tried their food, I don't intend to. Cleanliness and presentation is so important to me. read more

I ordered to go. I'll never come here again. My Chomp-a-dilla was shoved into an undersized box with home fries. Just a greasy, nasty mess. Not edible. Straight to the trash can. I ordered a side of eggs (scrambled) for my daughter. So overcooked they were BROWN. The cooks here don't care, and nobody is controlling quality here. They send out EMBARRASSING food that nobody trained in food service should sent to a paying customer. The cook staff for lunch on October 27 should all be fired. I'll never stop foot in this place again. Ever. read more

Ordered carry out: Borenstein burger (well done) and Mish Mosh Soup, extra broth. The burger was bloody (see picture), and the Mish Mosh had no extra broth, but actually less than normal (matzah balls would typically be in a side container but were included with the rest of the soup this time). Didn't bother to return it because we didn't want to drive back. read more

Chompie's - The not so well done burger... gross. - Delis Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Last week I went for the first time to have a Ruben sandwich.stood there ffor a few minutes while a couple employees talked.the sandwich must have sat in kitchen for awhile because the sandwich was soaked in grease and fell apart when picked up.ate it with fork it was ok tasting and will not pay 19.00 for a sandwich again,I was told it was worth it going there. read more

No greeting when we arrived. Just asked if we had 2. Table was not clean when we sat down. It was very clear that most working there were not happy to be there. Food was good. The only person who was genuinely happy to be there and customer service oriented was the kitchen man running food. Place is outdated and needs a remodel. Disappointed as they are not inexpensive. read more

Chompies has been a long time favorite but my recent visit to their chandler location will likely be my last. The restaurant feels like its struggling, raised prices, smaller portions, apathetic staff. Its just a husk of its former self. read more

First off, I ask for at least one thing when going out to eat and the rest we can work on. Get my drink order right. I'm not the type to order something crazy, at least not for drinks, but I find watered down drinks disgusting. The server at chompies did the one thing that gets me in a bad mood, add ice to my soda when I specifically ask for no ice. Now, it is the first time I have even gone to chompies and the menu was very lengthy. Not something that I mind but every sandwich seemed to have coleslaw on it. I was actually quite surprised about the entire homey atmosphere here as I always envisioned chompies to be like einsteins. Once the food came out I discovered that when the menu said horseradish they meant the sauce kind. There seemed to be a long wait for our food and it was cold when it was served. They also gave fruit instead of the requested Coleslaw with my boyfriends sandwich. Taste wise it was decent but nothing spectacular. I don't think I will be coming here again any tim read more

Stay away from Chompie's if you're at all trying to 'watch what you eat'.. from the time you walk in and are greeted by the vast display of goodies and pastries.. to the extensive menu that offers everything from all-day breakfast dishes like challah roll french toast to mile high sandwiches, you will likely be un-successful in ordering, much less consuming something that is figure friendly. Well I have been eating waaay too many salads this month, so I was really hard up for some meat and some tasty animal fat... wasn't wanting to go all out, but I definitely wanted a non-salad meal, heavy with protein & animal fat. I didn't exactly pick this place (it was more of a group decision), but it would have to do. Our party of 4 got seated quickly during prime Fri lunch time and commenced to read the literary novel that is their 15 page menu (ok, maybe more like 8)... 'I want some meat, a big ass hunk of meat... ooh, there's a mile-high pastrami... nah.. OOoh, how bout sliders?.. nah, too much bread.. fish?...ooh, they have all-you-can-eat fish & chips today???... FOCUS April! you're looking for MEAT... alright... maybe a burger?.. yeah.. gluten free bread?.. hmm.. not bad.. why not?.. oh yeah, AND with BACON on it.. and some cheese!' There! I had gone through all my meat-options on the menu and settled on a huge bacon cheese-burger with a Gluten-Free bun and side of sweet potatoes. When the order came up, it was ginormous! Actually, ALL our orders were huge plates, plentiful with fries and those who got mile-highs were also stacked high with sandwich meat. We all walked out stuffed and some with to-go boxes. I tried the fish & chips and it was decent (not better than the fish I've had at FIbbers, but decent). I wasn't underwhelmed with my Gluten-free bun. It was tall and had a small diameter (like a muffin), so it was very awkward to eat it as the 'bun' when the huge diamater meat patty hung over... so I just removed it and had the patty, bacon, and cheese solo.. and of course some fries. BTW, their fries were, across the plates at our table, soggy and not crisp (my table partners didn't like that, but I love soggy fries, so I can't complain.. apparently, soggy is not the popular vote for fries). All in all: quick seating at lunch time, friendly waitress did her job, manager came by to great us, food was huge portions, soggy fries, odd GF bun, great selection of deserts, overwhelming lunch menu... immediate lunch food coma. read more

Wow. What an excellent breakfast. I had Van Wyck Expressway skillet and would have licked it clean if it was socially acceptable. Wife had Blake's Cheese Blintzes (one cheese and one blueberry). She stated it was perfect. My sister had Granny Girls skillet, cleaned it up. Mom had the breakfast of champions (scrambled eggs and pancakes). Very fluffy pancakes and moist eggs. Wait staff was friendly and attentive (nice job Tracy R.) Highly recommended. read more

It has been a couple of weeks since our visit to Chompies and writing this now because it just feels wrong to let just pass by. My wife spent approximately two hours on the phone ordering a tray for us to pick up after her mother's funeral on our way home with a 12:30 pick up. When we arrived nothing was ready lots of confusion on the order so about a half hour past and we're still waiting. Well Heather the manager with zero people skills wasn't much help telling us that their Tuesday orders come late and they are doing the best they can.Finally the tray come out and it is supposed to be for 20 people for over $300 and it is about 6 or maybe 8" tray. My wife tells her listen we just left my mother's funeral I spent a lot of time on this order and instead of figuring out a solution Heather says well our mistake doesn't mean you should have bad behavior. At this point I got involved and asked for a refund and we left. I'm not trying to tell anyone not to go there but do hope Chompies will take care of their next customer more professionally with an issue read more

Today the mother in law brought over a bag of cookies from the bakery. It says sell by nov 11 the problem is that is a month from now and they are stale all ready I hope it's a mistake. Just awful old baked goods. read more

For the service alone In have to give it a 5.....some of the best staff of anywhere I have been. We went for breakfast and everyone in my family had something they liked....which is rare. The Apple pancake was very good and the vast amount of baked cookies and treats was great. Thanks for a great way to start our day and vacation. read more

Went again today and actually had to leave without eating or so much as receiving coffee! This place and I just DO NOT AGREE.

I love chompies. The potato pancakes are to die for. Chocolate chip pancakes are also great. I've never really had anything but breakfast. That is mostly because I love their breakfast. Try the bagels too. Strawberry cream cheese is a nice touch. read more

Server was great, sliders were disappointing as the meat was barely there so would suggest to do the sandwiches. Asian salad hit the spot.

I saw it on Man vs. Food, so I had to try it. But, it was so-so. I think the food was better than the "Denny's" comment below, but the service really left a lot to be desired. We came in after lunch was over, and I think we got stuck between servers coming and going. That does not make it alright, but I am trying to be objective. The biggest complaint - OVERPRICED!!!! $70 for lunch for 5 is stupid expensive. The portions are really big, but taking a to-go box in Phoenix in the summer just isn't possible. I would rather have paid less and gotten half as much food. As to the sliders - they were good, but a little overrated. All in all, I went, I don't hate it, but I am not hurrying to go back. read more

This was our second visit to a Chompie's Deli, only because our first was so fabulous! The portions are huge and their sandwich combinations are really really good! The food is always flavorful, abundant, and of good quality. Both visits, to 2 different Chompie's, have given us friendly and excellent service. Prices are on the higher side, but you absolutely get what you pay for. We would not hesitate to seek out a Chompie's next time we drive through Arizona. read more

Love this place. It is like a sit down version of a NYC deli. The portions are perfect. The staff is always fun and friendly. The menu varies from Matzo soup to breakfast burritos. If you are itchy for a bagel or pastry, there is a full service walk up. read more

First time here and we had heard great things from friends about their breakfast. My meal was pretty cold when it arrived and cold hash browns really don't do it for me! The poached eggs were perfect and the wholewheat toast was unusually good but to eat a meal that is half the right temperature and half cold is not great. Service was very friendly and coffee refills came quickly and without asking which is always appreciated. Unfortunately breakfast joints are pretty much everywhere in Chandler so when you have such a choice an experience like this is not going to make me come back. read more

I've gone here twice and had good experiences both times. Service is a litle slow so I wouldn't come here if you are in a hurry. But, what I would recommend is to come here and enjoy the extreme deliciousness that is Chompies. I've had the Jewish sliders (which are incredible!), the knish, cheese blintz, pastrami sandwich and the chicken matzo ball soup. MUST HAVE THE MATZO BALL SOUP!! I did feel quite full after sharing a large bowl though so prepare for a lot of soup. The knish I had was the potato and onion. I liked it but it was very one note after a while. I had a few bites of my boyfriends mile high pastrami sandwich on challah bread and it was divine!! The challah bread was sweet and amazing and the pastrami was perfect! The blintz is a good sweet dish but also savory. Probably wouldn't come here if you are on a diet. Prices are decent, decor is cool and the bakery walking in/out is amazing. They also serve Dr. Brown, which is great soda if you've never had it. Good food, good location, good experiences. Will be back! read more

Chompies is the best and Nicole is the best server (!) Four of us enjoyed lunch and everything we ordered was wonderful. Nicole was fun and fast and everything came out just as we ordered even with all our additions and menu changes. We live a long long way from Chompies but will return next time we wander away from Texas. Thanks for all ! read more

It's good. I love the pastrami on rye. Just a really rich pastrami, great flavor. Fresh bread. Recently, though, they cut down their portions. The sandwich used to be huge, so huge that I only got a half sandwich (and I can put away half a pizza and a dozen wings). Now, it's small, And they serve the fries in this little, white fruit cup. Weird, and small. This the only reason I didn't do a 4th star. The bakery is good, too. They have tons of good stuff there. read more

Solid NY style deli. Reminds me of Katz in Houston. Wish it was open 24 hours. As for the food, the Rueben was the best I've had and their fries are bomb. Black and white cookies are great and the rye bread even comes seedless. read more

Tonight was only our 2nd visit to Chompie's Deli and we are pretty solidly sold on the greatness. Our family of 6 (nearly all native Arizonians) enjoyed trying some New York and traditionally Jewish foods. The service was wonderfully attentive especially the manager Christopher who went above and beyond to take care of us when my husband's order arrived undercooked. The helpings are enourmous- seriously you can eat all weekend on one entree- and there is so much to choose from it is hard to pick- especially the dessert options. I personally had the Orignal Jewish Sliders with gravy and I LOVE LOVE that dish- the flavors and textures are all perfectly comfortable and delicious. We will be back for sure! read more

My husband and I were in the area for Thanksgiving and needed a place to take family members for a meal. We decided on Chompies. First off - they just tossed the silverware onto the table and provided no napkins - we had to ask three times for napkins. When the waitress came to take our order we were told that they were out of green beans but had cooked carrots - no wait, they were out of green beans AND carrots. So the waitress offered us soup or salad as a replacement. When our meal came - the plate had green beans AND cooked carrots, which we all appreciated. But one meal was missing the main star --- Turkey! along with no gravy. We all had a quick laugh and stopped a waiter to let him know that one plate was missing the turkey. The waiter had a good laugh and then told our waitress. A plate of shredded turkey, then kind that you get from a can, was brought out to our table, with a comment from the waitress that they were all getting tired. This was the worst turkey I have ever eaten and had nothing to do with the staff being tired!! It looked like some people were getting carved turkey - as we had seen some plates go by but what we got was really unacceptable. I had to apologize to my family members for this awful meal and the poor service as Chompie's was my suggestion. I am sorry that the staff was tired and that they had to work on a holiday but understand that this is the line of work they are in. Needless to say - we will not be going here again! I realize we should have complained right then but I did not want to ruin the day for my mom or other family members. read more

Unfortunately, not a great experience. We still had to wait forever for a seat, then waited forever for our food. I ordered the same thing as I did before, bagel with lox. It was gross. Nothing was fresh. My red onion was translucent, like it had been frozen and defrosted. The whole thing was just unappetizing. Bummer. At least last time the service and the food made up for the wait. Not so much this time :/ read more

I love Chompie's! Their bagels are amazing - soft on the inside, just a bit crisp on the outside, and well seasoned. Beware though, if you get cream cheese, they will give you enough for 3-4 people! Their bread is also great, love their Jewish rye and pumpernickel. If I want to indulge for breakfast, I'll get the corned beef hash, which is made in house and is great! I get their matzoh ball soup anytime I am sick or if I'm missing my mom's cooking. Their sandwiches are delicious and outrageously large, and I love their house-made chips. The Jewish sliders are so yummy, definitely a guilty pleasure. My one disappointment was coming here for a pre-fixe Passover dinner one year - the food was all mediocre and just made me more homesick for a good holiday meal. But for a regular meal out, there is something here for everyone. read more

The quality is not what it used to be and service below average. I m wondering if staff and management just don't care anymore. Kids pancakes came out cold. French toast was crispy on outside but not cooked on the inside. Asked 3 times to have my water filled. Definately have think twice before coming back for breakfast read more

Worse service ever.....once food was served Waitress never cameback to check on us they were too busy talking and laughing with each other behind the counters. Tried to get their attention was impossible... greasy tables, floor and the smell awful. DO NOT GO THERE read more

What a great food find. Everything was amazing, Linsey was on top of everything and made our meal even better. Wish we would of stopped earlier in our trip vs on the way to the airport. Stuffed French Toast is big enough for two unless you are really hungry. read more

I want to love this place, but I can only partially commit. They have amazing pastries and bagels, but their overall menu leaves much to be desired. The home fries are always soggy, and they eggs always runny. Their portions are so large, I'm not surprise that they are not cooked properly. They are always packed, and seem overwhelmed by the amount of guests they have seated. The heavy traffic makes for bathrooms that seem like they should be at a street festival or state fair. I recommend grabbing your baked goods or bagels and heading home to enjoy them...far from the chaos and grime. read more

Would like to give this 2 1/2 stars ..the price is way out of line for what it is. Half a turkey sandwich and small potato salad $11 .it did have a lot of turkey on it but it was dry.tomatoes were way way way over ripe they were mushy yucky. Didn't care for the potato salad it was sweet. Pastrami half sandwich was quite fatty and dry also. Took 25 minutes to get this order to go. Truly not impressed. it was clean,and staff were pleasant. read more

Potatoes were really salty bagel was OK not great. Kids meals are kind of pricey for not including much $4.99 for 1 pancake & 1 slice of bacon. Not impressed will not be going back. read more
