Great service at this little Chompies location in Arrowhead Towne Center!! I've loved Chompies since I was a teenager and was so excited to see they had a location here!! I grabbed a black and white cookie for old times sake and it was delicious. read more

The waitress was polite and helpful. I'm giving a 2 star because of the food, it wasn't that great as I was told. I got a chicken wrap, the chicken was dry and no flavor at all as well the hamburger that we ordered. The only thing we like was the fries, they had great seasoning and they were fresh . I've been told to try it once again but these time their bakery like the bagels which wouldn't disappoint me. Unfortunately I wasn't try thrilled about these place for being my first time and I don't know if I would like to come back. read more

Sarah "the manager" and team an excellent addition to this place, they're always go the extra miles to made sure I'm happy and I get the best service ever. I stop by 4-8 times at week since I work at the mall and never disappointed of the great service. read more

Stopped by Chompie's to pick up some gluten free rugulach. We got those before and they are delicious- the perfect coffee companion! I checked in on Yelp and a free cookie coupon populated. Instead of the rugulach, I ended up getting some gluten free black and white cookies to try. It's perfect because the free cookie was the black and white cookie (not GF), so I'll get to try the same thing my fiancé and sister try! The cookie is huge, too! Super thankful and reminds me it's always a good idea to check into places- never know what might happen! Thanks for the free cookie and yummy gluten free options. We will be back! read more

The bakery here has absolutely no appeal to attract customers. The refrigerators where baked items are placed are old and unappealing and don't have signage as to what these are. Associates can be pretty rude and unhelpful. The all seem over worked. Pastry was not soft and hot coffee was cold as ice. There was no tissue paper at bottom of box either and pasty was directly put on the cardboard box. Very disappointed by the service and taste of food here. read more

First let me say that I love Chompies. Best Jewish deli in Phoenix by far. That being said, my last experience was not good. I ordered the Monte Cristo, one of my favorite sandwiches. To begin with it was cold in the middle. Not just cool but actually cold. That wasn't the worst. A Monte Cristo is a battered and deep fried sandwich. My sandwich was wrapped in a pancake. Not kidding, the pancake was flat on each side and wrapped around the sandwich. Advice to Chompies, make sure your cooks know how to cook everything on your menu. I was very disappointed. read more

Legit: I am a proud Chompie's addict. Mainly, for their Chicken & Matzo Ball soup. There's just something about a good chicken noodle soup (w/ matzo balls) that warms the soul. And it's most definitely my go-to when I'm feeling a little under the weather. That's right...the temperature change has kick-started a head cold. But all is well because I stocked up on my fave soup!! I decided I'd take an early lunch to avoid any crowds and THANKFULLY this Chompie's is located somewhat close to me. It's located in the Arrowhead Towne Center mall and has its own entrance. Easy to get to, lots of parking, and open early! The cashier that helped me was super sweet. She did not judge me when I eyeballed the desserts at 10 in the morning, then asked for a handful of little cookies to be added to my order. (I bet you can't stand in front of the dessert counter without buying any cookies. Well... At least I would lose that bet.) Chompie's: * Love their soup. * Love their cookies. * Love that I wore my mask so no one could see my morning-cookie-shame-face. read more

Congratulations Chompies!!! You've managed too turn away customers that loved your food and have been frequenting your various locations for 10+ years. Our order today doesn't even deserve a review. If I said it was disappointing I would be a liar. It was worse. Good bye. read more

Chompie's you're becoming more and more underwhelming each time I buy a bagel. Question, what determines if you put cream cheese on both sides of the bagel? Is cream cheese on both sides not the standard? This seems to keep changing.. Is there no guide to follow? Also, what happened with the vegetables? Can anyone spot the tomato? I have so many questions! This location went from one of my favorite places to just an okay place to eat at when I'm in the area. I don't know maybe it's because I've worked in the food industry before? Hope you have a good holiday! read more

Someone from Chompie's took the time to read my Yelp Review, apologized to me and made things right. But it was MIGHTY BIG that they addressed their staff and management about the issue I had. I can go back to being a fan again and enjoy the tastiest Pastrami Sandwiches in Glendale, fine baked goods and the best take out lox there is in Glendale. Thank You! read more

I've eaten here so many times and the food is so good. i'm really upset today because I came in for a to go order which was a salad with chicken, spent $12 on it, but the real total should have been $4.67. It was the smallest portion of anything I have ever eaten, and the dressing blew my mind away even more because it wasn't even half an ounce of dressing for my salad. to be exact it was only about 6 drops of vinegar. so therefore it was the driest salad. Good, but super dry which really bothered me because I could have gone anywhere else. Maybe you guys were just in a rush. I don't know read more

Went here for lunch today with my daughter. We came once but didn't know what to order. This time we did. Everything was really good especially the sliders, kind of wish they put more cranberry sauce in it. The people was very nice. Our waitress was really sweet. Great customer service. read more

So here ya go... Rule # 1 If the beautiful person in your life makes you wake up for church and a side trip to buy her shoes at the Arrow Head Mall ( Not a Mall guy) Do insist on eating at Chompie's! ... As close to NY style huge sandwiches as your gonna get in the Mall! It's not in the food court folks. Main floor .. We ordered the full corn beef $15.00 ( if you get half orders it's costing you $10.00) So split the full and trust me... You truly don't need another half. Unless you love food COMA's. Clean , friendly staff.... No food court crazy folks speed walking or teenager crazy chatter... Seems like a grown folks nice spot... Check out my shared lunch plate... deliciousness.. I was digging the "free" garlic pickles as well. read more

We had a nice breakfast. Food was good and portions were large. Service was good. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to no draft beers. Only bottles and cans. Would go back again. read more

Chompie's offers thick portions of the meat in their sandwiches. We highly recommend their pastrami sandwiches!

Pretty disappointed. Food was Cold. Meat was old And had that shimmer, weird taste. Unfortunately this was our first and last trip here. read more

This New York themed deli is truly a gem in Arizona! The desert can add this place as a good food spot to enjoy some meaty stacked sandwiches. The Jewish sliders are definitely tasty and delicious with the dip. The service and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food also comes out fresh and delicious. We left fully satisfied! read more

What a disappointment today. When we walked in at 10:15 there were 8 people patronizing the restaurant. We asked the server for a booth when she replied they are all dirty how about a half booth I was like really. We ordered our breakfast and the coffee was cold when it was served. A few of the staff were just standing around laughing and talking instead of taking care of the front of the house. A dirty front of the house only makes me think of what the back of the house looks like. When I informed the hostess how can so many tables be soiled when no one is here she turned and walked away. The reason why I got out of the restaurant business after 30 years was because staffing is a huge headache. It is evident at this restaurant the busboy spends 99 % of his time hitting in the hostess. The food was good. We returned today to have lunch. Nothing has changed as far as tables not being cleared for the next customer. We asked for a booth and were told once again that the tables were not clean. I do want to point out that our sever Brenda was great. I have attached a photo of a server, bus boy and manager discussing dirty tables and the buss boy twirling his dirty towel in the air. I don't blame the buss boy I blame poor supervising. read more

Great food. Lots to choose from. My husband had the tuna melt and I had the New York sliders. Which were corned beef cheese close slaw on challah rolls. So delicious. Server was very sweet. Would definitely go again when in the area read more

Called Chompies Glendale after placing a DoorDash order & no one picked up the phone to talk to me after spending $47.00 in sandwiches. What happened to customer service..OMG...I called 3 times, hit option 2 to place an order & no one picked up, hit 0 for operator, no one picked up...on the phone 20 minutes going back & forth....Wow read more

I used to love coming here for lunch. Service was so slow we decided to go elsewhere. While leaving we were going to buy a loaf of English muffin bread and the loafs on display were MOLDY! First one moldy, picked another and also moldy. GROSSS!!! Seriously makes you wonder what they are serving in the kitchen. Just Gross! read more

Went to the Arrowhead location. Chompie's has always been my go to place for NY Deli for over 30 years. I have not been in several months. Noticed the menu changed, prices increased and you get a lot less for what you order. I ordered a $21 corn beef sandwich that used to come with swiss, Cole slaw or sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing. What I got was dry corn beef on two plain pieces of bread. I asked for Cole Slaw and some dressing and a side of fries. The order of Cole slaw came in a small soufflé cup, same for the dressings and fries (still no cheese included). The corn beef used to be hot and juicy, it was dry and crumbly. The bill was $26.00 for one sandwich. On top of that, I was charged $.75 for dressing (unheard of in any restaurant. Since Lou and Lovie are no longer around, this once awesome Jewish Deli has decreased their quality, service, offerings and the sandwiches are nothing like they used to be. Couldn't even by Lox, etc. at the counter anymore as it is no longer being offered by the bakery. On top of that, we never saw our waitress once until she brought the final bill. Didn't check on us once, no water refills...nothing. Another favorite restaurant of mine in Phoenix whose quality and service has gone down...really sad. read more

I'm from the East Coast, where bagels are King. When I found out about Chompies years ago, I was ecstatic, as Lovey and Lou Borenstein and her husband really cared about their bagels, and their food as well. During the COVID-19 outbreak, I would drive all the way from Sedona to Glendale to pick up a dozen or two amazing bagels to bring back and drive back home. I drove over 200 mi round trip just to get bagels and nosh. That's it! Recently, Lovey sold the company, and I brought home a bunch of bagels, the quality has gone down immensely. Even the toppings have been lessened. The bagels used to be made in-house, but not anymore. It's really a sad statement that we now get our bagels from Einstein Brothers. They'll never be Ess-A Bagel, N.Y. Bagel Company in New York City, but at least, they're edible. Chompies is now serving hard, bread like bagels, and it's a shame! That being said, we are in the Glendale store today, and we had delicious corn beef sandwiches with potato salad, marvelous matzo ball soup and the best desert bakery items in town, all served by a young guy, who, as a high school kid was very nice and professional. I love this restaurant, and maybe, just maybe, they'll make better bagels in the future. Stop in. Steve and Vicki... P.S. the pickles send me back to New York.. read more

Jones-ing for those East Coast Jewish deli eats? Chompies wants to fill that void! Right along the mall, there is a packed glass case with pastries, sandwiches heaped with meat, challah, latkas, brisket, etc. along with plenty of diner classics. I had the house slider (brisket and uno latka with provolone and brown gravy on challah roll) and the Western slider (BBQ sauce, cheddar, and fried onions on challah) - both yummy, but neither what I would to return for. Nothing popped. I would probably return for the big pastrami sandwich my father-in-law got - I had half for lunch the next day and it was spot on. I liked the IDEA of the the smoked salmon latkas, but then they came out and it was kind of a mess - there was just too much going on. I couldn't get the bite I wanted in my mouth with potato, salmon, tomato, cucumber, onion, parsley, capers in the right ratio. I all at once wanted cream cheese and bagel with the salmon and capers, more lemon with the salmon and cucumber, and sour cream and applesauce with the latkas, and no parsley ever with that - I was left wanting in each bite. There was one lemon slice to 4 latkas - not enough, but even with that it might not have made up th distance. Bummer, because it made sense in my head, just not in my mouth. Nothing was horrible, it just didn't meet my expectations for what it could have been. I will give a shout out to the pickles and the pastries that we got to go - great the next day for an afternoon snack and dessert (you can guess which one we had for what) read more

My first time ever at a Chompie's was yesterday morning at this location. We needed to return something at the mall and made plans to come here for breakfast. We were seated right away and the place is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I've always seen the small part of it from the inside of the mall but once you enter the main dining space, it's the size of what you'd expect a full service restaurant to be. Service was average; food came out at a decent time and coffee refills were timely. I ordered the breakfast sliders and hubby got the Chompie's benedict. The sliders were big!! And incredibly filling. I thought I was going to need a wheelchair to get myself out because I was so stuffed. It was very tasty and with great difficulty, I was able to finish the order. The benedict dish was also pretty big. He had made the request to have his eggs soft poached and they delivered beautifully. He commented that this was one of the better eggs benedict he's had anywhere. I would love to return to try different items. Hubby and I were so glad we tried this place out! read more

Fix your attitude and your customer service. Don't even come here, go to someplace else better. I absolutely hate when a worker tells me something that I obviously see on the menu. FYI, you guys have garlic bagel. Im not blind to your menu and the bagel labels that were right behind you. read more

Came here for lunch and we all ordered big deli sandwiches. They were beautiful to look at, but everyone commented on dryness, or small things here and there that could be improved. It probably doesn't help that we are all from the east coast where a good deli is like a religion, but I have to say that we were all slightly disappointed. We ordered a couple cookies for the kids and they were very happy. Maybe it was an off day? Will try again because the folks we visited in Scottsdale who recommended this place said it was their favorite brunch joint. read more

I want to like this place and try very hard each time I go there. While they offer a lot of food, their prices are pretty expensive. I also did not find the service to be very attentive. I'm also a little disappointed that they took away the little dining tables at the deli take out section. If you buy a bagel or something there's nowhere to sit and eat it. read more

Chompie's has been around since 1979. I was in my late teens, the first time I ate at their location on 32nd/Shea. Expensive? Yes... it's a bit pricey. But, you get what you pay for. One sandwich will feed two. Maybe even three. They are enormous. And the level of flavor and quality... great. There Pastrami sandwich is incredible and a must. If you stop by, you must also try a black and white cookie. After living in Queens, NY for a couple of years... I have to say Chompie's would hold its own in the big apple. Great review... yes. 4 out of 5 stars? Only because of the price. I only wish it was a little less expensive, so everyone could afford the food at this amazing deli!!!!! Love this establishment and you will too!!! read more

I went for Rosh Hashanah and it was very tasty. Make sure you have your server get you a tray of pickles for starters. They are to die for. Got myself a Coney Island can ask for toys ginormous and through a little Kelly mustard on it and it was awesome. And I got some chicken noodle soup with a matzo ball in it and the matzo ball is so nice and big and so chewy it's great. My main course was this giant Reuben and I do mean it was piled high with Swiss cheese sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on top of grilled rye bread with a bagel on the side with locks and cream cheese spread. There wasn't a mess in this entire meal it was so good. Walked out really fall and satisfied. Chompy still rules after so many decades and I hope they are a stay in the Valley of the Sun. read more

My son and I ate at the Arrowhead mall Chompies yesterday for a late lunch. I had pastrami sandwich with matza ball soup. Within several hours I was so sick that I went to ER...I had food poisoning.

Wooooow, Chompies has to be one of the best restaurants here. The food was ridiculously good and homemade (down to the butter). Same prices as the major chains but TOP quality food. I can't wait to go back for lunch but this time it was Stuffed French Toast for breakfast and it was the best breakfast confection I've ever had. Free cookie for checking in as well. Oh and the cheesecake is the best I've ever had. I gotta grab a Cannoli next time! read more

$52 for two corned beef and swill cheese sandwiches. $4.00 upcharge for lean. The beef was far from lean and was extremely fatty. The sandwich maker cut the beef with the grain instead of the correct way, which is across the grain. The "double baked" rye was not and it had caraway seeds in it. I'm from Detroit, and there are 5 or so excellent deli's there, such as Stage, Star, Steve's, Bread basket and on. None of them are this overpriced. And their sandwiches can be easily enough for two. Seems like years ago when the originators were running it it may have been pretty good. The arrowhead location could use a good cleaning. (restrooms). read more

My mother-in-law recommended this place and it did not disappoint. There was a bit if a wait, but it was a weekend and since we were at the mall we were able to walk around and have our son play in the mall's indoor play area, which was perfect. The service was speedy and we were greeted and checked on by several people, which aways impresses me. I ordered their Jewish Sliders with coleslaw at Matzo Soup. Our meal came with free pickles an a free black an white cookie with our yelp check in. There was craft beer on tap a mimosas and bloody mary's available. Almost everyone in our party had some small requests to their order and they were open to accommodating all of them. Every dish was delicious and with over 150 items on the menu, I am sure anyone would be able to find something that would suffice. Their sandwiches are award winning an their bagel's are one of Arizona's best. read more
