The Ruben was just to die for, I relished every bite. One of the best corned beef sandwiches I've had, right up there with the famous Schwartz's Deli in the Jewish quarter of Montreal. They had clam chowder that day and it was some of the best I've had as well, and that's saying something, right? The service was alright, they took my order, brought me my sandwich, were polite, what else do I need? Oh and the half-sandwich deals make a lot of sense as the sandwiches are monsters that can probably feed a whole family. Even the half sandwich made me feel pretty damn full, and I am not a wimpy eater. Update 4/30/12: I went here again today and I decided to lower my review from 5 stars to 4. Got the Ruben again and though it was really good, I realize it is just not quite up to the revered 5 star level. Can I re-emphasize how enormous these things are? I ate like half of half of the sandwich, which was just loaded with corned beef, and felt so full I had to wimp out on the rest. read more

This restaurant had some good reviews so we decided to stop in while on vacation in Arizona. We ordered the Motza (I think...?) balls to start and they were different. I've never had them before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. They were okay. I ended up ordering the grilled chicken Caesar salad for lunch, and it was huge. The chicken was a pricey add on, but well worth it. They definitely didn't skimp out on the chicken. I really liked my salad. My mom got a salad with salmon on top. She liked hers as well. For desert we ordered a mini cannoli, and a mini chocolate mouse cake to split. The desert was sooo good. I really enjoyed both of them. They have tons of deserts, like cookies and cake here. Even bagels. It all looked so good! You could even order take out here. The next time we come back to Arizona, we will definitely stop in again! read more

So let me start by saying I love chompies and can't live without their cream cheese. Something I can't stand for the life of me is the wait. There will be 2-3 customers in front of me and I'm picking up cream cheese to go. My average time spent here is 20 minutes. Today I was here for 35-40 minutes for just a half pound of cream cheese. There is an older crowd here but the staff is very slow. There was an issue with someone's card in front of me. They literally ran it over with a car... the card was in pieces and they broke the pos system trying to use it. Finally 20 minutes later (one person in front of me) and I'm up. They start rebooting a pos system in front of me and 30 seconds go by and it's 2%. After that, they ask for my rewards number and I wait for it to process. Great food but come on read more

DON'T Show up to this place expecting to sit on a patio on a nice day. 2nd time I've been tricked into thinking the patio was open for service! My advice is Call 1st'! The hostess said it was because they don't do it on busy days ...there was barely four customers in the whole restaurant! read more

If you're looking for Kosher style wonderful in the Valley of the Sun, look no further. There are several locations - with the original Scottsdale location being the best. Best corned beef sandwich. Best rye. Best bagels. Best chicken soup. Best challah. Best latkes. Best knishes. Even the best Celray soda. But the best of the best - its bakery area. From seven layer cake to ruguluch. When Shea Blvd was just one lane in either direction - way before the traffic and the connection, we went to Chompies. In the early days, they were A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE than they are now. They are as close to New York/New Jersey deli as you get except it's "glat kosher" meaning there is the preparation of milk products and meat in the same kitchen. So be it. I've ordered cakes, pastry, challah, and even latkes for holidays - and passed some off as home cooking. Deli platters. A pound of this. A pound of that. A baker's dozen of bagels and chive. My home always had Chompies in it. In the early days, the behind the counter help were all old deli men. Now they hire and train. It's still the best but we don't go there as often because it's just too expensive. read more

Love their food! However, since the Pandemic, it's been a zoo trying to get a carry-out order! Everything is not organized! I ordered thru Yelp so the food would be ready when we got there! We pulled into Carry-out parking space and texted we were waiting for our order! When no response, my wife went in! She heard them mention our order, but everything was wrong! We ordered bagels with cream cheese, but there was none in the bag! The food was good , but it was wrong, because we didn't get everything we requested! read more

Anytime I have visited Chompie's it has always been a positive experience but not today! The counter help was awesome and someone greeted me at the door...unexpected .. but nice. Then I purchased my items and wanted to sit inside due to muggy weather and air quality and the dinning room had a few tables more than 75% open. The two inside tables in the pickup area were full. So I asked the waitress if I could sit on the restaurant side at a two seated table and she refused "they are only for eat in customers." Her name tag said Barbie. Her tone was very rude! She needs to work on her customer service skills!!! I would have gladly left a tip and removed myself if it got busy. read more

A local friend recommended we hit Chompies while we were in the area, and we're so glad we did! As far as Kosher deli's go, it's one of our fav's. We had the hot corned beef, matzo ball soup and split pea soup, plus picked up some adorable cakes for the kids that were frosted with mice and frogs! The bakery alone was worth the trip, but the sandwich was pilled high with juicy corned beef, and they delivered it just as we asked for it! The plain bagels weren't as good as Einstein's but in their defense, our kids didn't want them toasted.... Grab some to-go or eat it there. read more

The food is pretty good but not worth the hefty price tag. Baked goods look lovely but are bland and blah. Service is crazy disorganized and slow. The guy behind the counter stood around talking and laughing with his coworkers for a couple of minutes while I waited for him to start making my sandwich. read more

Disorganized slow service at order counter. No sense of where to stand and nobody directing people.I have been there twice once was Saint Patrick's day. They had my order and never brought to the counter it took two times asking to get my food in a dangerous long line. Decided to go back and try again mid morning had. Slow experience again. Bagels and creme cheese were good. Tuna salad and corn beef were just ok. I will give it one more try I love there bread. read more

As a retired jewboy from Washington DC, I have not had good deli until I found out about Chompies. This restaurant is as good as Katz's restaurant in New York. The sandwiches are thick, the matzo ball soup is right on, the desserts are off the chart and service is awesome here. I believe they have 5 locations and maybe 6 in the Phoenix area. I was a manager of a deli, and you will be pleased, I guarantee it. Steve G. Oh, I don't work for them. Lol read more

I have always enjoyed Chompies especially their Rubens and matzo ball soup so when I saw they had delivery service I gave it a try and ordered our favorite items just mentioned. It was a surprising disappointment for me and my husband....everything was cold and the Rubins and fries appeared to have been made hours ahead of delivery..I ordered the soup without noodles and they came loaded with noodles...there was no cole slaw with either Ruben ..the Ruben had little if any sauerkraut or dressing on it....the corned beef was fatty I can go on further but enough said!! read more

Everything is great but the White Fish Salad sandwich is FANTASTIC! EAT it on Challah

Not my first time dining at Chompies but first time at this location. Restaurant is very big but the crowd inside small due to COVID I'm sure. Family really enjoyed what we ordered. Chicken salad sandwich with chicken noodle soup. Restaurant and restrooms were clean. Deli case and yummy baked goods were well displayed. Service was good but not fantastic. Hosted seated us barely talked and seemed preoccupied, server was better pleasant but lacking that welcoming touch. Usual questions like. Have you been here before or is this your first time with Chompies? Did not tell me the specials for the day. There was a mushroom barley soup available which I found out by ready a white board. I'm mean interior dining is pretty sparse no a days and servers need to really engage to get what tips there are and of course make those who do venture in feel welcomed. Maybe next time but not here. Thanks read more

Love their bagels and their breakfast selection. Love that they offer different types of creamers for coffee. Yum! Haven't been there in a while and I'm missing it!! read more

Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning with my husband and 14 month old son. The restaurant is large and clean. We were seated right away and the host brought us a highchair right away as well. (You'd be surprised at how often that gets neglected when we go out so I appreciate it!) He also asked if our son would like crayons and brought a kids menu for him to color. Thanks again! The breakfast menu is EXTENSIVE! I ordered the Breakfast of Champions: 2 pancakes, eggs, and turkey sausage. We ordered the kid's french toast for my son and my husband ordered the Chompie's Breakfast Sliders. We were all happy with our food. My husband's breakfast sliders were huge and looked delish! My only complaint was that the middle of my pancakes were still doughy, but other than that the food was good. The server was very attentive and pleasant and everything was reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back! read more

Place has great food! Service was slow due to how busy it was but well worth the wait. Highly recommended place for breakfast! read more

This was a first time having breakfast here. They were pretty busy but the wait wasn't long at all. The table next to us had ordered Eggs Benedict which looked really yummy. So I was between that and the salmon tapas. So I had my husband order the eggs Benedict and I ordered the tapas. They both were really good, the only two things I would change would be more hollandaise for the eggs Benedict and the Salmon tapas were pretty salty (I would just order the bagel and lox next time) Overall it was still pretty good. read more

I eat at a Chompie's about 3 to 4 times a year, usually the Chandler, Shea or University locations depending where I am in town at the time. I really can't say I notice a great difference in their food, service or cleanliness. During the past decade I have tried most things on their menu, with mostly positive thoughts. Our last Chiompie lunch was here in Scottsdale and as we have a "soft spot" for their original slider, I ordered 4 for my wife and I. We love that cup of rich gravy that comes with it to dunk! I grew up in NYC and have always been a deli fan who has known the best, and they compete in most areas. We would frequently order a corned beef or pastrami sandwich and a bagel, then remove some of that mountain of cold cuts and construct a very meaty additional sandwich at no further charge! I like to nibble on the half sour kosher pickles they place on every table at no charge. Certainly worthy of 4 stars. read more

Went for dinner tonight. The evening manager was horrid and dismissive. She was unresponsive to any question and before I could purchase dessert after dinner to take home, she was extremely rude to a woman and kicked a older gentleman buying bagels out of the restaurant. I left without a purchase and will find another source of pastries. Even good food suffers when management is inferior. read more

I gave it three star because they are really nice people that work there but the sandwich was bad and the pastries were dry

I am writing a bad review because I feel like only nut cases or area managers get on Yelp and give nasty places like this decent reviews and trick you into going. Chompies: disgusting, overpriced cafeteria food. My cats barely ate it and it cost us $30 for 2 half sandwiches. read more

I went into Chompie's today and the service was amazing! We had the carrot cake, bagel box and some deli salads to go. They offered to hand slice the bagels and were so kind. My kids love the bagels and the carrot cake was eaten very quickly! We will be back soon . read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I truly want to love and recommend Chompie's but I can't, even after multiple attempts to provide them with an opportunity for redemption. This posts is not from one offensive visit but the culmination of living within a 10 minute drive of the restaurant and dining in the restaurant or ordering for pick up at least 6-10 times. As previous posts note, service is subpar at best. Too many times have we gone to eat in the restaurant and have received inattentive servers. If you need something after your food is literally dropped off, you have to waive your server down as they do not come back to check on you. There was an occasion our food was brought to our table, by a different server, and our original server never came back to check on us. The next time he came to our table was to bring the bill while we were still eating. He didn't say anything except dropping the bill on the table. A not so subtle way to hurry us through our dinner. I thought this was strange because the restaurant was not busy. It seemed like there were no servers working, as they must have been in the BOH hiding. I have provided example of times we dined in so I thought if we picked up food to go, it would alleviate the poor customer service aspect, as we do like the food. This notion is inaccurate. We ordered two sandwiches via phone. When we brought our order back to our office, we noticed our two sandwiches were not remotely close to what we ordered. When I called to inform Chompie's, I received a combative employee on the other end of the line. She told me they were busy and it would take at least 45 minutes to correct their mistake. When I noted, this was an error on their side, she said she could not re-do the order in a more expeditious manner. That made me feel like they were too busy and we were not important. The last straw for me was from this morning. I order two bagels to go. I came into the restaurant and got in line to order. I saw they were busy because of the upcoming holiday and understood it would take a little longer than usual to receive my food. Ok. However, for $10, 20 minutes, and yet, again and inaccurate order, I cannot condone coming here any longer. When I got home and called, I spoke with two different employees. The first was understanding and placed me on a hold while she reached out to a manager. The second employee I spoke to, picked up the phone as if she had no idea why I was calling. I had to re-explain the story to her, explain why I was frustrated, and received no understanding or apology. My options were to come back to Chompie's to pick up my correct order or to provide a credit the next time I'm in the restaurant. How about reimbursing me? There will be no next time because there have been too many instances of previous times that were not handled correctly. The food is good but for lack of service and price, there are other East Coast bagel & Jewish delis in the Valley who will go beyond with their food and service. (Lox Stock & Bagel on the corner of Hayden & E McCormick Pkwy is delicious!) read more

The 2-star rating is due to the HORRENDOUSLY high prices for anything on the menu. Price: it's 250% of what you'd expect to pay. A $5 sandwich will easily cost you $18. A very hard thing to get over, regardless of Service or Taste. Service: Excellent, and I wonder if they're happy because they expect tips, above and beyond what you're paying for the food. 20% of a normal $5 is ok, but 20% of $75 is probably why they're smiling. *** Please correct your prices so families can enjoy your family restaurant ***. Taste: Excellent. I appreciate your taking lunchmeat and putting it onto my sandwich. I just have trouble giving you 10 times the price of the lunchmeat. I'd seen the Man vs. Food episode, so I was excited to eat their food. I was just stunned to silence by the horribly high prices. I just couldn't believe the cashier would ask for that much money with a smile on her face. Now I know why they never mention prices on the show. read more

The Jewish Sliders are really tasty. They have a 'challenge' to eat a dozen in 30mins, popularized by Man v Food. I could easily eat 6 for a full meal. They're that good! The pickles are a nice side too. I liked the green ones (ok, the BRIGHTER green ones!). I also ordered a Meat Knish, but I would've been better off ordering a second order of Sliders. I'd go back any time for the Sliders. Actually, the Mile-High Sandwiches looked good too, so I may give one of those a shot. Update: I had the Mile-High New Yorker with Corned Beef. It was not worth $12 for a deli sandwich. Certainly there's a lot of meat wedged between some rye, but the CB was really stringy. So much so that it was getting caught in my throat as I was trying to swallow bites...UGH. That experience dropped the rating from the 4-stars on the Jewish Sliders to 3-stars. read more

We've been going to Chompies for a very long time, and I can honestly say we have seen our last visit. If you haven't been in a while, be prepared for a huge menu change, and the choices that once existed are gone. It seems like 50% of the menu is gone, and all my old favorites are certainly gone. I can't really say whats going on, but our last two visits I can say started out fair, then slipped directly in to unacceptable. I can say i never thought it was great, but I always thought Chompies did mediocre perfectly. So I'll lay it out like this. Burger, ordered medium, came out raw. I'm not saying undercooked, I am saying the ground meat was RAW. the cheese was melted, so I know someone put it on the grill to cook it. Now talk about uncomfortable, we showed our server, who brought the manager (which we didn't ask for I assure you) who brought out a line cook... What are you thinking, show him this health hazard somewhere else. I did jokingly say I felt somewhat lucky we had Scottsdale Healthcare right next door after this one. In the same meal, we had two deli sandwiches. All I can say was the meat was rubbery and wet. Yes, wet. To me it was almost like it came out of the freezer or something, sliced and put on the sandwich. YUCK. Now about the service which on my latest visit was ridiculously bad. The waiter forgot items, didn't return to the table, and all, given the restaurant had 10 customers all together was horrendous. (BTW, it wasn't our waiter who brought over the manager it was someone else, he was nowhere to be found) Now my other recent visit, the service was stellar (at the PV Mall restaurant). Our server was more than on, he was outstanding. In fact, for that visit, the service was a solid 5/5... food was 1.5/5 on that one. Anyway, for us, we have seen our last visits to Chompies. I should throw in our out of town Guests, stopped going back last year except for one hold out, who has finally said its over as well.... Everything changes, and if you can't even do mediocre, then there isn't much left... read more

Really disappointed, just visiting in town and figured that this would be a good place to grab breakfast. Walking in was like walking into chaos; stuff everywhere for the holiday and not really a line of customers but a "crowd". Once figuring out where to place my order I walked up to the counter to wait for service listening to the staff talk about another job opportunity at a local hotel. Once asked for what I wanted it took three people to get my order in the computer. After waiting 5-10 minutes for my bagels I was handed a mess of items and had to ask for a bag. (Two breakfast sandwiches and two bagels). After getting home come to find out my order was wrong and ice cold, the bagels didn't seem like they had been baked 100% and I was very disappointed, I had asked for them to be toasted and even if they had cooled on my 5 minute car ride the butter wasn't even melted. Really hard to believe that this is the best bagel in Phoenix for 30 years. read more

Chimpie's has been around a long time. It's a solid average. Not great. Not terrible. Consistently average.

Don't bother. Not NY at all. Food not worth the hefty price tag. Just on par surface, Not impressed at all.

This Chompie's has never been quick when you go in and order, I've come to expect that. I thought I was being smart and called ahead for pick up so I wasn't wasting all of my break waiting for a simple sandwich. Instead I waited 10 minutes in line (getting there 20min after the initial call) to only be told that they never input my order. Instead of waiting another 20 minutes for them to make it I left. I get that being understaffed is due to various factors (covid obviously being one of them) but good lord. The food is good, the customer service and wait time certainly leave something to be desired. read more

1st visit to this AZ deli. Passed The one in Arrowhead many times but never stopped in. Service was great and the menu quite large. Thought I try a bialy wth lox smear. Bialy not true, but the smear very delicious. Definitely would pick some of that up and take home. Plan on going back, because few other things I want to sample. Oh and their desserts look good, but I'll see. read more
