We love chompies food and their staff. We feel so welcome when we walk in the door. The food is amazing! I feel like I'm eating at home when we eat at chompies. The portions are almost too big. That's not a complaint. Haha. It's fresh ingredients and made to order. The service has always been great. They make you feel like family. We would eat here every night if we could. We especially love the latkes and the pastrami. Oh and they have an awesome bakery as well. So delicious ! read more

If you look around Chompies, you soon forget about the food because you are overwhelmed by the shabby dated interior, ripped chair cushions, faded wall hangings, and a really dirty ladies restroom strewn with paper towels and dont ask what else. I asked for butter and the waiter brought a scoop of something that was pale yellow. Had tiny crystals in it. Maybe lard? But definitely not butter. Matzoh ball chicken soup never even got a glimpse of the chicken. Pastrami was chewy and fatty. The only thing updated I could see at Chompiues were every other table signs reading "Unavailable" due to Covid. read more

CHOMPIES on Shea is AMAZING! Staff takes pride in what they do and it come naturally! They are warm, friendly and comforting makes you feel like they are inviting you into in there home. Food and service is Management is exceptionally courtesy! Food is wonderful! Also Brian is AMAZING and knows how to run a business! He is a people person and it comes naturally! It shows on how this location is run and how the staff is! read more

I got an egg bagel sandwich, the egg wasn't cooked all the way. It was watery and gross.

So many wonderful things happening at this restaurant! The best Monte Cristo Sandwich I have ever had,and I've had them all over. Our waitress was fantastic. I wish I could remember her name. My cousin, who is gluten free due to a wheat allergy said their gluten free French toast was the best she has ever had in her life! It was a tad bit expensive, but I really think it was worth it :) I absolutely love this place! read more

Ate lunch at Chompie's years ago and liked it. But this time, I was looking for bagels to eat before running a half marathon. If they could, we hoped to get a dessert to celebrate a parent's birthday. The woman at the front counter could not have been more helpful. She was ready to assist when we came in the door and advised on what we should order. We ordered a half dozen bagels and cream cheese. We also ordered carrot cake and chocolate box cake. All food was to go. Our daughter is a huge fan of Despicable Me. They had a chocolate item with a Despicable Me minion on it so we HAD to order it. (They also had baked goods with characters that strongly resembled Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster.) Everything was delicious. The cakes were especially good. We hadn't thought of Chompie's as a first choice for cakes but we'll definitely go back -- me for the carrot cake and my wife for their chocolate cake. read more

A NY style Deli with an entire gluten free menu. I'm pretty sure I died and went to Heaven. Sadly though, I was too hungry the morning we came here, and they actual made homemade gluten free waffles, but I was not feeling it that morning. :( I went with an omelet and gf bagel which was still epic that I could have a bagel. They have every option you can possibly imagine and as usual, huge portions. But for a very reasonable price. I wasn't hungry until dinner time. Def a cool place to check out for good eats. read more

I've already expressed my love for Chompies in my review of the Tempe location, but after having brunch at this location this morning, I need to do the same for Scottsdale. I'm not usually a fan of big menus. But since pretty much everything at Chompies is good, let them cook whatever they want. I met a friend here at 11am and had some trouble deciding between breakfast or lunch. As I looked through the menu, the omelets caught my eye. I had the Spanish Omelet which has black beans, onions, tomato, cheddar and jalapeno jack cheese. It also comes with potatoes and a bagel or toast for $8.50. Not only Delicious, but I'm set for the day. read more

I've ordered breakfast at many places.. but Chompie's blows them all out of the water! I absolutely love their french toast! My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. They have fantastic lunch and dinner, too. And the best thing is that Chompie's is reasonably priced. Please don't read too much into reviews with people complaining about any 'bad service' they've received. Sure, it happens sometimes. It happens every where, in fact. That is inevitable. But I think you're better off trying out Chompie's for yourself. I think you'll be glad you did! read more

Okay, I have a problem - I'm a corned beef hash addict! I love their different selections of corned beef hash selections. Just had the corned beef hash omelet with cheddar cheese - my new favorite; but the corned beef hash benedict is also good. I've also had the corned beef hash skillet along with just the corned beef hash & eggs. Now, if they did the sliders with corned beef hash; I might have to try...LOL!!! I love a lot of everything they have on the menu; and other items I have had are outstanding. But, there is one item that has my heart is Corned Beef Hash! Well also Bialys (just wish they had sesame bialy). UPDATE: they do have corned beef hash sliders!!! I'll be on my way back soon! read more

6/6/13 * Update* Have been going in steady for the past few weeks to get my morning bagel. The usual gal's that help me are always friendly and prompt. Today, one of the regulars got my bagel ready, but a different person rang me up. Charged me more than what I've been getting charged. When I questioned, the person got offended and would hear nothing of it, just kept quoting me the new price. If I'd been getting some special price for the past few weeks, how was I to know, I was just paying what I'd asked, now I get a 33% increase and am not supposed to question it? I'm just asking for some courtesy and consistency. ************* The food is good as are the portion sizes but the prices are high. service leaves a little to be desired. Stopped in today for a bagel and coffee. Ordered an untoasted bagel with light veggie cream cheese, received a toasted with plain. Was not busy, the counter person just flat out ignored my request. Don't even think of calling the dark water they serve, coffee. Weakest cup of Joe I've had in the Valley. read more

Something has happened. I don't know if the nostalgia has worn off or if the food quality has been messed with but every time I come here I order the same thing and it has gotten worse. I always get a matzo ball soup and a bagel. The last three times it has come out kinda gross. The soup thrown together like a left over mess, maybe 5 days too old. The bagel has been bland, cold, and not toasted crunch like normal. I don't know....I might not come back for awhile and see if that helps. Oh yeah...and Husband left feeling sick. Need a new deli to tap into. read more

As anyone who reads my reviews, whether you like them or not, you realize I have two passions, corned beef and pizza. I knew I wasn't going to go here for the pizza, but from their menu, I thought I had a good shot at getting a decent hot corned beef on rye with mustard. Wrong. I have ordered a lot of items from Chompie's, the majority of them very good, which is why I gave them 4 stars. They are unique, their menu items are novel and I enjoy the variety. Where they fail, oddly enough is in the basic deli items. Their corned beef was not as tender as it could be. It was not sliced thin, there was not enough fat. Mo H remarked how good the pickles were? Really? I felt they were too soft, and not tart enough, although I do prefer a half sour. Where Chompie's hits the mark is with their unique menu items. You must try the "Jewish sliders." This is basically a shabbas meal put on a challah bun. Brilliant. The brisket is amazing. So tender, like butter, the potato pancake is perfect, I don't know why they add cheese, but I would ask them to refrain. It is terrific. Their matzoh ball soup is one of the best I have had. The broth is superb. Not too chickeny, although the cup contains a bounty of carrots and celery, the soup is not overpowered in their flavor. The matzoh ball has the perfect density. If you are in for breakfast, try the breakfast skins, but make sure you have about 8 people with you to eat these. Another novel take on something which has become so common, potato skins. Who would have thought about taking a bagel, topping it with scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheese, onions, sour cream. It works, and it is delicious. These are the kinds of menu items Chompie's does right. Unfortunately, the corned beef sucks. Don't leave without buying from the bakery. It is not the best bakery in the world. Canters in LA does better cookies, White Plains bake shop puts everyone else to shame with the cakes, but for Scottsdale, AZ, the black and white cookies are pretty good. read more

Pretty good food and adequate atmosphere. We went for breakfast while in town and my kids love deli places like this. The food was good and the place was clean. The lox was decent (for AZ), eggs Benedict were great, Greek omelette came cold but was still tasty and waffles were tasty too. 2 gripes...when I order coffee, why on earth would you fill it to the brim multiple times (even after I asked for a separate cup to dump some out to make room for milk)? Most take milk or cream to lighten it up. Also, I have a HUGE problem when I don't see Heinz ketchup on the table in favor of a less expensive brand. If they are skimping on ketchup, are they skimping on the quality products used elsewhere in the restaraunt? Overall positive experience and would return again. read more

Extremely disappointed!!! I placed a phone order this past Thursday for a Monte Cristo sandwich and an order of onion strings. I love a good Monte Cristo. This one was horrible! When I got home and opened my container.... the sandwich was so greasy you could see the oil just soakec onyo the bread. I opened the container of onion strings and they were pretty much the same.... overcooked and very greasy. I don't live very far; so, it wasn't from the long drive. The cook just overcooked my food. It should have been thrown away and recooked. I can't believe they let it go and served it. I'm disgusted. $15.99 for a greasy overcooked sandwich and $7.99 for greasy overcooked onion strings that I landed up throwing away. The only time I will ever go back to Chompies is when I want a bagel; which, is not that often. They do have really good bagels. read more

I always liked to go to Chompies. All the locations had great bagels and sandwiches. I have not visited one for years. A good friend and I went to the Shea Chompies for lunch. We entered, and it was chaos none of the staff were smiling or asked us if they could take our order. Many people were leaving. Finally got waited on and was told the lunch would be ready in 5-10 minutes. We sat outside, and 15 minutes later I went back in to get our order. No one working would look at me, wasn't acknowledged for 5 minutes. The meal was not ready yet. Finally getting to our table, I wasn't given a spoon for the soup. I asked an employee for a spoon, and he said they were inside. Yikes Food A+. Service D-. read more

The food was amazing and everything I had heard about this place is true. Jaime was very helpful up front and explained all menu options to us ! We will be back for sure. I haven't seen deli style food this good since I left NYC. read more

Chompies is a great family owned establishment which I have been eating out for over 20 years. Lots of ball soup and pastrami sandwich is probably the best in town. read more

Chompies has finally made right on my previous review. Went to Chompies today and Saul, the manager on duty, made sure the credit was available for us to use. He also let us know that we did not have to use it all today. Thank you Chompies for making this right. read more

This is the best Jewish deli in Arizona. It reminds me of being in New York City. Everything in this restaurant is the licious. You can't go wrong with anything. I love their pastrami and corn beef and tongue sandwiches and their Cole slaw. They also have really good chicken in the pot and great matzoh ball soup. They also have a great bakery and all the desserts and cake so wonderful. read more

Great place to eat, only problem is there's so much to choose from...great problem to have right! Been here many many times, always enjoyable! read more

Definitely not impressed with the corned beef here anymore. Matzo ball was nice and hearty. Brisket is ok. Potato pancake was good. Corned beef was just not authentic texture or taste. Just a regular generic corned beef Not true kosher deli corned beef read more

Not a bad place,.i suppose. I had the turkey and dressing and it was quite tasty, but I didn't like the presentation. The spinach was a bit under cooked for my liking. read more

I had been very curious about trying Chompies and when I saw Man vs. Food I knew I had to go. The Jewish sliders were good, not great. The brisket was tender and the bun was soft, yet I was still looking for something to make it worth the small fortune I paid for this lunch. The carrot cake is exceptional! I will go back for the bakery definitely, and maybe for the deli. I would like to try the corned beef or pastrami. read more

All of the deli servers are wonderful. I especially enjoy Bagel Wednesday along with fresh rye bread and black-and-white cookies! Occasionally I will take home a quart of matzoh ball soup and a roast beef dinner. read more

This place NEVER disappoints me, the food is delicious and the bakery is amazing.The staff are always friendly.(Phillip was fantastic)Everytime I go to Arizona I make it a habit to go to the Scottsdale store and have a meal. I never leave the bakery empty handed. I wish I didn't have to drive 8 hours to get there, but there is no better 8 hr drive when you know Chompies is in the mix. read more

Absolutely amazing service! The food was delicious as well! I can vouch for the yummy waffles, pancakes and skillets. Can't wait to come back! read more

I love this place. Great breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Their pastrami is the best in the state, and their turkey that is used in sandwiches tastes real (as in NOT the watery deli stuff you find in most places). They did get rid of my favorite "sandwich", the El Paso Wrap, but I've found they'll still make it for me when I get a craving for it. The chicken soups are delish and home made (and wonderful when you are sick with the flu or a cold). Needless to say, their bagels are killer. Frequently a line, but worth the wait, if you have the time. Highly recommend this place!! read more

It has to be eons since we've been to Chompie's for Sunday brunch, or any other meal for that matter. When we first moved to Scottsdale seven and half years ago, Chompie's was our go-to place . . . it didn't matter if we wanted breakfast, lunch or dinner. Personally, I could eat breakfast for all my meals anyway so Chompie's fits the bill perfectly for me. But we tired of it after probably four years and thousands upon thousands of calories . . . so we gave it a rest, a two and a half year rest. And the funny thing is . . . now having gone back for brunch, I think I could put Chompie's back on our regular go-to rotation. Some things have changed since we were last there, but all for the good . . . new upholstery, new look to the menu, new carpet . . . but the same faces are still there . . . and the good old standby items are still on the menu . . . Service on this particular Sunday at 11 am was brisk, polite, friendly. The coffee refills came on time without even asking. If I had any complaints, it was that the napkins are a little thin for such huge and sometimes messy meals and they neglected to set out place with knives. My French omelet was divine, cooked perfectly. I asked for the onions to be almost overcooked and they were, and my eggs were soft. If there is the slightest bit of brown on my omelet, it's a minus sign in my book. I usually can't finish a 3-egg omelet, but this was so delicious, I almost finished it -- okay, I left one bite. The home fries were also yummy, some a little charred, just the way I like it. My hubby had the Long Island Expressway Skillet which came with plenty of Nova Lox, cheese, mushrooms, onions, scallions and potatoes. Loved it! As were were approaching the restaurant an older couple in a car rolled down the window, said they were from out of town visiting and asked where Goldman's was located . . . I said, you are in Chompie's parking lot, stay here, you'll love it . . . it's an experience! Somehow I made it past the bakery without buying a thing! Everything looks so pretty. They even have high-heel shoe pastry. That was new to me! I'm sure we'll be back soon and I won't be able to control my urges. Thanks, Chompie's, for reminding me of what I was missing . . . read more

It was crazy the last time I was here. They were doing some kind of slider fest special due to a tv show they were featured on. $1 sliders brings out all the lookie lou's. The deserts still rock and the red velvet cake I have dreams about. The service can be sketchy but the food has always been good. read more

Nice place,great location. Food is good, not great. The sliders were good, but the brisket not great, and the rolls a little doughy. Very nice ambiance, and fun place overall.

Chompie's Cheddar Cheese Bagels...mmmmmmmm CHEESE! Incredible menu offerings, authentic NY style Jewish deli and bakery.

If Homer Simpson ever tried a Chompie's Cheddar Cheese Bagel he'd never eat another damn pink doughnut...ever! read more

Love this place! They have the best Reuben sandwich around town. I always get mine on sourdough and a side of extra thousand Island. At $15 it is well worth the price and a great treat. Make sure to get it with pastrami as this is the best cut of meat that is so tender juicy and flavorful and completes the Ruben. read more

First, thank you Wendy for reaching out and letting us give Chompie's another chance. It was great! Food was superb (lots of leftovers to boot!), service was excellent and we will definitely be back. Thank you for changing our minds about Chompie's!! Regards, Rachelle read more

Their bagels are very good. The prices are reasonable and the servers are friendly. The food is good and good size portions.

Ahhhh Chompies. I have been to the Chompies around the valley for years now and all of them are fantastic. The place is ALWAYS busy and what it occasionally lacks in bright eyed, smiling servers, it totally makes up for in consistently GOOD FOOD! I love their bagels, their soups, the sandwiches are almost too much to eat at once, the salads are great and if you stop in for breakfast, the omelettes are... well let's say I have literally written home about them. Prices are more than fair for what you get and they are fast! This is one of those places that works for a casual client meeting spot, a meal with the family (it's actually loud enough that the wife and I don't have to panic when our 2 year old has a freak out) or a quick bite on your own. I don't know why, but this is one of those places where you see lots of people eating by themselves and it doesn't look sad. The take out counter is quick and I seriously can't say enough about how much I like the food.... seriously! read more
