When I arrived, they were starting their lunch rush, which was not bad, but not the best I have had there. The ambiance was traditional, New York deli, just as good as the first time I went.

Trigger warning. I bought a bagel sandwich Monday morning and inside, where there was a mound of…read moreturkey, I realized (too late) an entire wet paper towel was imbedded. I am so disgusted by this that I didn't even feel like calling to tell them and needed a minute before I could even write a review. My family has been coming to Chompie's since the 90s when it opened. But this is a turning point and I legitimately can't see myself coming back - even for an unsliced bagel. I am horrified and disgusted and wish I could turn back time or at least erase the memory. Just, YUCK.

Goldman's Deli Where Your Soul and Your Stomach Both Get Hugged…read more If comfort food had a headquarters, it might very well be Goldman's Deli. Walk through the door and suddenly you're not just hungry you're home. The smells alone could make a grown person misty-eyed. Now let's talk about the pastrami. Lean, tender, and stacked so generously you start wondering if the sandwich needs its own zip code. One bite and you understand why people keep coming back. Two bites and you're already planning your next visit. The soups? Forget therapy have a bowl. Rich, comforting, and restorative. The kind of soup that makes you feel like somewhere in the kitchen a grandmother is quietly nodding with approval. And then there's the gefilte fish. Not the ordinary, polite little slice. This one is special delicate, flavorful, and downright magnificent. Even people who say, "Eh... I'm not sure about gefilte fish," suddenly become believers. There's a little schmaltz, a lot of love, and the unmistakable magic of real Jewish deli cooking. Eat there, take some home, and tell your friends because food this good shouldn't be kept a secret. You might arrive hungry, but you'll leave smiling, a little fuller, and possibly needing a short nap which is the highest compliment a deli can receive. And as they say with a wink and a warm heart: "Zei gezunt, un es gezunterheit eat in good health!" Or in plain deli English: "May you always be healthy... and may your sandwich always be this good."

I don't know why I do this to myself. I woke up craving chopped chicken liver. don't know why. I…read moreinvited my husband to Goldman's which was the only place that came to mind for the liver but he politely declined, not being a fan. So I trecked 5 miles out of my way to Goldman's (when Chompie's was just a mile away --frankly I don't know why I didn't think about chompies) I ordered the chopped chicken liver appetizer which comes with slices of tomato, a piece of lettuce, slice of red onion, and challah bread. I paid $15.01 for this platter (lol) without a tip for a small scoop of the liver. Just look at the photo. I was shocked to see how small it was. I thought that with a base price of $13.99 that the scoop would be bigger or at least the same size as in the past when it was $9.99. The challah bread was yellow but did not take like challah. Yellow bread slices do not delicious challah bread make--no yeasty flavor as any good challah would have. So here I am regretting that I didn't give chompie's a try. I can assure you that I will not be returning to Goldman's. I know ingredients have gone up but this price for such a small scoop is an affront to the wallet.

The owners were super friendly and chatting it up with me while making our sandwiches. We got turkey sandwiches, potato and Mac salad and some chips and drinks. Overall, these were just really good solid sandwiches that probably tasted extra delicious because we were hot and hungry. We would definitely stop in and support this little shop again! They have a little of everything you need and your next meal.

With nearly 50 years in business, I really wanted to experience this family-run establishment -- and it didn't disappoint. Denise Casella, the current owner, was a pleasure to talk with, sharing stories and her parents' vision for the deli. You could feel the history in the room, especially watching longtime customers come in -- some who have been visiting for over 20 years. Tried the cheesesteak -- simple and satisfying, and very much in line with the deli's old-school charm. Overall, a great spot to step into a piece of local history and absolutely worth a visit. Saluti.

Meeting my brother for lunch and he suggested Andreoli's Italian Grocery. I haven't been here in…read moreyears. The setting is uber Italian with a small Italian market feel and an array of different seating from long community tables to living room style loungers. There are nooks to hide in and enjoy great conversations. The Italian kitchen buzz is relaxing and full of energy. The place oozes an Nonna's kitchen. This is family, from the patriarch milling around with a heavy Italian accent to the proud family heritage behind the counter taking orders and issuing handshakes to friends. A very authentic surrounding that makes you smile. I ordered the porketta sandwich with small salad, side of giardiniera, and a side of homemade bread with olive oil. The roll was ethereal with a delicious taste, not overly crispy, savory and nicely shaved porketta meat. The added giardiniera was a slap in the face to your taste buds, perfect! The green leaf salad was lightly seasoned, not overly dressed and simple, but uncious. The only issue was the homemade slices of Italian bread and olive oil. I could not stop dunking and eating. After two orders, I had to stop. What a treat for lunch. The service is spot on, food was delicious and environment was relaxing and high energy. This is a hidden gem and tucked away in a back lot with a stand alone building. Sub sandwiches are a dime a dozen in the Scottsdale corridor but Andreoli's Italian Grocery is food with style, class and great ambiance for lunch or dinner. Treat yourself to more than just lunch. Andreoli's has great food and a cool vibe. Ciao

Top notch visit. We decided to try Andreolis after years of wanting to try it out! We pulled up to…read morethe parking lot and walked into what felt like an Italian family's home. There were tables of people chatting and enjoying their food, it was very warm and inviting. We walked up to the counter and ordered our meal. We weren't sure if you order and then sit at the tables or if you order at the tables. After watching a few other tables, we think you're supposed to order from the servers. Our mistake. We ordered the Sempronio and the Farfalle special dish. The Sempronio is a sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, and roasted pepper, served on a baguette. The farfalle is a pasta dish with mushrooms, olives, and sausage in a tomato cream sauce. The sandwich was so delicious. The baguette was soft and incredible. And comes with a beautiful salad. Nothing special about the salad but it was beautiful next to the sandwich. The pasta was delicious. I am not an olive person but it was still delicious. If you get a pasta, it comes with sliced artisan bread and olive oil. The vibe in the restaurant is amazing. There are beautiful photos on the walls, beautiful knick knacks, and a family feel that enhances the experience. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back!

The location is convenient, especially being close to the airport.

The food, service, and consistency are always great. One of the more underrated sandwich spots around.

The inside is a convenience store with a deli counter and a few tables if you'd like to eat there. They have a wide variety of sandwich options, so there should be something for everyone. The convenience store also has a good selection of drinks, snacks, and alcohol. I ordered a club sub with provolone added and no veggies. My order was ready within just a few minutes, which was great when grabbing a quick lunch. The sub was simple, fresh, and tasted good. That said, I was expecting a little more meat for a $13 sandwich. It wasn't skimpy, but it didn't feel like the portion quite matched the price. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch and would consider stopping by again if I was in the area, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visibt.

It's a limited grocer, deli and seems to have gas station choices. Which means they have a little bit of everything. Beer, wine, chips, candy, soda drinks. Service: Its owner operated. There were 2 young gentleman working. I ordered a hot Beefstrami sandwich. Employe did recommend. You can make a value meal for $2.49, which includes either macaroni salad, potato salad or pasta salad, chips & a drink. I only wanted 1/2 sandwich. It was around $9. Service was fine, nothing over the top. They have a great selection of sandwiches hot & cold. Boars Head meat & cheese. I got it to go. They did have minimal seating, outside the front of store. Conclusion: Sandwich was tasty, sub roll was burnt but a good amount of beef & pastrami, pickles, cheddar cheese, mayo & mustard. I want to try their Ruben next.
