I'm told this is the best deli in Phoenix. If true then that's very very sad. So far I've only found one deli in the Phoenix area that's worth the drive but this place isn't. It's very average for a deli. Mostly because in all the meat on my sandwich (turkey and Swiss on marble rye) all I could taste was the lettuce. I will say the bread, marble rye, was good. Not stale. And the Arnold Palmer I got was amazing. (I wish I'd have known I wouldn't be getting a refill before my sandwich came though). Not easy choking down a huge sandwich without even a water to wash it down. Anyway. I didn't like whatever those onion ring things are called at all. And the "chipotle ranch" that comes with is gross. I also tried the coleslaw and that was also a huge miss. Service was lackluster. One of my pet peeves is waiting. And waiting. For the check. I was hoping I'd finally found a real deli on the west side. I guess the search still continues. Side note: very expensive. And before you @ me with "you should have ordered the pastrami". Maybe so. But a good deli has multiple good offerings. Not just one thing. read more

$24.00 for a sandwich? Need to save my soc sec checks before another visit. Value to price ratio too low.

Quality of food is definitely gone down. The hashbrowns are soaked crunchy french fries. Taste like nothing but oil too bad Food used to be pretty good here. read more

The best hot pastrami anywhere around. It's not cheap, but it's HUGE and can make 2-3 meals. Can't wait til tomorrow so I can go.

25 and 27 and change for a Rueben sandwich!!! I don't think these guys will be here long!

Great Knishes, best I've had since I lived in NYC, you must try them, delicious! Friendly service too.

Chompies has always been one of my favorite places in the valley. This is my first visit to this location in eons I'm so glad to see that they are open for business and that the food is as good as ever. Huge portions, tasty food and great service. I ordered the stuffed sweet and sour cabbage rolls. Nice size rolls stuffed so well. It comes with two sides of choice and soup or salad. Portions here are not shy so either come starved or ask for a to go box straight off as you will need it. My rolls came with slaw, a potato pancake and I ordered a salad. No skimpy side salad. It ended up being my meal. My friend ordered a mile high Ruben with choice of sides. She got the potato salad. It looked amazing. My friend was so busy eating I scarcely got a pic. I will never tire of this place. And I'm so glad to say that the deli and restaurant are as good as ev read more

We were at the mall and I had a hankering for some soup. Chompies has so many yummy desserts, bagels and food. I ordered a chicken and matzo ball soup which came with bagel chips. The service was friendly and quick and my soup hit the spot. I really love their bagel chips they come with it too. I could munch on those without soup lol. Definitely will stop back in and dine in soon! read more

Very dirty, the bathroom had no toilet paper. There was no paper towels no soap there was crap smeared all over the bathroom clearly nobody has been cleaning or maintaining. Wait staff made meal to go and was told that we were going to the dentist we had ordered coleslaw he did not put silverware in the bag nor did he put napkins and told me that we have to ask for it. Very slow to get a seat. read more

Food quality was pretty good but we was not happy with the customer service! Maybe it can be more better

Who does not enjoy a mean bagel? Trying a bagel here, might change those that love their donuts! Bagel vs a donut; at this establishment those are fighting words! The bagel is everything here. Straight from New York City, the owners of Chompie's migrated to Arizona. Delivery of the best bagels this side of Brooklyn! Kings and Queens of bagel lore here in the Phoenix and surrounding area. They indeed have carried out the promise of great satisfaction of bagels since around 1970. Chompies is a locally owned flavor that is in a shopping complex here, or over there. No rhyme or rhythm to where these stores are located. Many individuals will travel to partake of some of the best authentic bagels around. Join me as we explore the best of the best that Arizona claims to offer in New York breakfast. Wandering through the Arrowhead mall, this place always caught my attention. What drew me in was the cupcake selection that they offer! From behind the glass they look so lonely. They cry out to be eaten. I remember one time during my stay over in Arizona, it was the the playoffs for baseball. They decorated and celebrated the Cubs achievement making it to the play offs with baseball shaped cupcakes. They not only looked great; they were delicious. They decorate cupcakes for all the major holidays too. The luck of the Irish was with us when we had St Patrick's day cakes paired with some strong coffee. Happy is here with a cupcake to created to celebrate many many different events in life. Onto those bagels.... They are made fresh in house every day. You name the flavor its available. Your able to call in orders, but you must come inside to pick up the order too. Mind you the lines can get long but it's worth the wait when you bite into that delicious bagel with all the fixings. Lox it up, this is how I do my bagel. The twins are east with some strawberries and cream toasted. Get your happy on with bagels and the joy this circular objects brings. Always take some bagels home they keep for a minute if you freeze them. So don't be afraid to enjoy a few dozen over a few weeks at home and make new bagel memories at home with Chompies all week long. It's not a New Yorker deli without the meats! Who does not love a pastrami on rye; or a bagel. Even at lunch time that pastrami tasted delicious on some of the softest bagels that I've had. Make sure and cut that bagel in half. Eating lady like it's out the window. That hot pastrami with Swiss cheese... The grease runs down your arm! As you take bite after bite, savor each pastrami moment. It brings back so much joy. Whether you need a bagel or a cupcake this is the stop. Most malls in the Phoenix metro area has one of these in the inner mall or outer loops. Get some great authentic great East Coast life changing food. Let the dreams of random individuals that created this concept provide happy food memories. The gift of east coast food in your tummy. The staff is always exceptional, and the food excellent. Smile and wave to individuals next to you and behind you. Your in the valley of the sun, so no shunning; jus shining here. Spread random acts of joy and eat what makes you happy always. Get your Chompies on today together! read more

Finally made it to this Chompies location. Had the wall street lox and bagel. All fresh and very tasty. Great service and clean. Ordered a corned beef and rye with matzo ball chicken soup for offspring to go. Great dining experience. Been to all the Chompies restaurants and appreciate the consistency. read more

A good Deli is sometimes hard to find, unless you're standing outside of Katz' on the lower East side; or Chompie's in Phoenix. True. There are more places serving deli sandwiches, than there are good deli's. Chompie's has embraced NY in their style and atmosphere (see photo). In the old days, at Katz's in lower Manhattan, if the service wasn't up to snuff, folks would leave a subway token as a tip, as if to say, get out of town. This Chompie's is my favorite. The service is excellent and the food is always great. We came here recently on a Friday night and found a seat just as someone was leaving. Boy dam good kismet. We ordered the large NY Pastrami, Roast Beef and Monte Cristo sandwiches (photos), along with a Matzah Ball soup to take home for later. Our daughter loves there soup, we do too. Everything was excellent and delicious, and we even took home some Almond Croissants. Well it was during High Holidays, right? The tab ran us $20+ each, which is very fair and well worth it. We'll be back. Now go watch, When Harry Met Sally! "I'll have what she's having!" LOL read more

I have to change my review on Chompie's. My corned beef sandwich was mostly fat. However, I complained on the Chompie's website and Sarah Wenrich, the General Manager of the Arrowhead location reached out to me and is giving me a refund. I worked in a very nice restaurant in Marina Del Rey for 7 years and I know this is excellent customer relations. Thank you Sarah and I will be back to order a lean corned beef sandwich. read more

I came here with my daughter for brunch on a Saturday morning. Customer service is decent, courteous but not exactly friendly. Located inside the mall but there is an entrance from the outside. The dining room is always full which is a sign that the food is dependably good. My daughter ordered the Strawberry Shortcake pancakes which were ginormous! Huge, fluffy pancakes covered with fresh strawberries & whip cream. The side of syrup had a weird film on top of it so she skipped it. The whipped butter that comes on the side is delicious. Just a hint of sweet cream and absolutely mouthwatering when spread on hot toast. I ordered the Lox Scramble which was comes with choice of different potatoes, bread or fruit. The meal was flavorful albeit slightly overcooked, dry scrambled eggs. Portions are generous & we both went home with enough food to make another meal out of. read more

Very appreciative for a place to have a calm meal on a major holiday. Had the brisket, nicely prepared and quite generous portion for the price! Jared who waited on me was a fantastic server and true day brightener. Missing a star because did encounter one pretty unsettling thing but he addressed it quickly and effectively. Mashed potatoes in particular had a great taste- very fresh and potatoey tasting. Haven't encountered that in awhile. So extra kudos for those! read more

Stopped for pastries at your arrowhead restaurant. We got a lemon bar, an eclair, and an almond bar. All were quite stale tasting. The lemon bar and the almond bar were thrown away. The custard in the eclair was the only salvageable part. Won't be going back. read more

Food was good. Waitress was freindly. The only problem is I can't get the alert off my Apple Watch that says my table is almost ready. Lol

So disappointed. I was told this was a real NY Jewish Deli. NOT! The bread is not crusty and the pastries are copies of the real thing. I've tried buying Chompies breads in the grocery and they are pasty and mushy, none have crust and they are overpriced. I guess I am still looking for an authentic bakery in the surrounds of Phoenix. read more

Food on point Pickles were awesome Pastrami excellent Bakery don't get me started lol read more

What happened to Chompies bagels? The bagels just don't taste anywhere near like they used to. It's as if they changed the formula or their old. I'm not sure. They just don't have that good flavor they used to in fact what's strange is no matter which one I tried, they all left me with that sour odd taste in my mouth. Maybe possibly bad dough I don't know but so disappointed never have had this happen at Chompies before. I hope today was just a fluke. read more

Pastrami, great, pickles, great. Rye bread was griddled (w oil), instead of toasted. Coleslaw was mediocre. And I think a tip was added that I was unaware of. Emailed, no response. I'd give them another shot. read more

Love the pastrami here, but have a few gripes... First, this place is a little bit pricey for what you get...we got two full pastrami sandwiches with a side...almost $60. It's good, but not sure it's worth the money. Once in a while I crave it and it's good but again, every time I see the receipt I did a little inside. We usually order take out through door dash, but we were at the mall returning something so thought we'd go pick up instead and save some money. What a confusing experience. Went to the counter that's inside the mall, not the side with the outdoor entrance to the sit-down restaurant. Figured we could order there and made sense. Went up to the cashier and asked if they had a menu and if we can order there, and he said no we have to go in the restaurant...a little weird but ok, no problem, we go on in there and then the host at the restaurant said we have to place an order at the counter for take out...what!!! And we asked if we could use their menu, and we did, memorized our order, went back to the same cashier that said to go inside the restaurant in the first place and ordered. To be fair, I'm not ragging on the cashier at the counter because I do think he was brand new on the job so it's ok he's learning and if he sent us to the wrong place, all good no big deal. But...there were no menus at the counter for their restaurant if you wanted to order take out...that's not his fault, that's the restaurant's fault. Makes it very confusing for new employees and guests alike. One star docked from there and the pricing in general. Second star off because the quality of the good that day was off...we got onion strings as a side for both of us. Both were burnt! Didn't taste like it normally does and we were both disappointed. read more

I started coming here because the food is tasty, but I stayed because of the customer service Veronica gives me. I haven't seen her for a while until today which is a big bummer.., She always takes care of me and recognizes me by name, it's nice to have such a positive energy at the cashiers desk. Even when she's busy, she takes time to check in on me and is very communicative about where she's out with my order. Thank you for always taking care of me and making me feel so welcome at your restaurant! read more

excellent food and i they have bakery too on Chandler i good service i like more breakfast for food is not too much

I ordered from the pastry area counter a number of pastries. The cashier had better days. I had to give her my order 3 times, She left the register and went into the kitchen area to sip on her beverage while a number of us were waiting to place our orders. A waitress was walking from the kitchen to the bagel area whipping tears from her eye s and whipping her nose and mouth area with her hands, YIKES. It took me 25 minutes to place my order and pay with one person ahead of me. I do t understand how restaurants don't have a dress code for dining. There was a group with white sleeveless Tee shirts and tattoos up and down their arms. Last week I ate at the restaurant and there were a few tables that weren't cleared from the previous customers which we would have preferred to sit in those booths. Chompies have drastically cut the portion sizes and drastically raised their prices. read more

Excellent deli food both in the dining room and at the bakery. Slightly snooty staff behind the counter but the friendly waitresses make up for it. Typical of a mall location, there's precious little "ambience". Then again, I go to Chompies for the sky high sandwiches and the Chicken Noodle soup ... not chic table settings and mood lighting. read more

I was so excited to go to lunch with my family who live in Glendale Az. I really wanted to try Chompies !! I had the Monte Cristo it was dynamite . I really enjoyed taking my first bite full of turkey , ham , cheese, bacon and of course the French toast bread . It came with a choice of sides I chose fries nice hot and crispy . I had a Black and White and that of course is a cookie with white and chocolate frosting. I will come back and have another fabulous meal. read more

I guess shrinkflation has hit Chompies. This was my half pastrami sandwich as part of a half soup half sandwich meal. More like half soup and a slider. Just wow. Been eating at Chompies for over 40 years and small portions have never been an issue until today. read more

I feel like Chompies lost something when it became a chain of restaurants. I was a regular at the original, single location it used to have for years in the valley. Being from NY, it was like going home to eat there. I don't feel that way anymore about the multiple locations. My recent eggs Benedict made me realize that. I used to have that at the original location. It was classic NY breakfast for me there. It's not the same. The quality is definitely not there. Classic NY style meals are not what you expect from Chompies anymore. Just a lot of food on the plate & nothing special. I didn't even take home the leftovers. I'll still give it a good rating. People who never knew the original location, who don't know what a NY style plate of food is supposed to be like, will be very satisfied with anything here. read more

We used to love Chompies, but our last visit gave us a half sour stomach ache. Service: So-so Food not like it used to be. I had stuffed cabbage. Thin watery sauce, mostly cabbage not much stuffing. No more pickles left on the table for nosh. Not even available in the deli. Menu drastically cut. Poor selection. This location has just become a Yankees fan bar. I think we are done with Chompie's and will go to Jason's Deli next time. read more

Wanted to leave a quick review to talk about our visit to the Arrowhead location today. We were seated quickly and helped during our visit by Ryan. Ryan was awesome in every aspect and made sure we had everything we needed and from what we'd seen while there, was keeping everyone really happy. The place was decently busy today, but food was going out, people were eating and the tables were getting cleared in a timely manner. The Monte Cristo was really good, but defeated me halfway through. My wife had the Brisket dipping sandwich and while she thoroughly enjoyed the dip and the Brisket, the choice of bread wasn't for her - it happens and she said she'd try the build a sandwich option next time and try the brisket on something different. Overall, everything (with the exception of that darned roll for the brisket dip) was excellent. Ryan was the star of the show and I really hope that management passes along our thanks to him! read more

We return to Chompies regularly for the greatest roast beef sandwiches in our eyes! Yesterday we went and noticed a change to the roast beef sandwiches. Sliced thicker and it really changed Big Deli Sandwichesthe flavor and texture. Hopefully it's just a temporary thing and you will return to the way it has been for the last 20 years we've been enjoying them. That is when we moved here. There are reasons people come back and when management starts cutting corners it is noticeable. Virginia Mathys Sun City West read more
