Stopped in on a rainy Monday afternoon. This place is huge, plenty of seating, ordered the Pastrami Reuben on Rye, Matzah ball soup and potato pancakes. Was quickly seated, drinks ordered and questions answered promptly and accurately. The feel of this place is of your traditional deli, just a lot bigger than most I have seen. The amount of seating tells me that this place has to do a pretty darn good amount of business. There is also some outside seating, but in this day, just rain so no outside. I feel like I should go back into the kitchen to see if Nona is back there cooking my lunch. The pancakes reminded me fondly of my grandmother. The soup was well seasoned and would cure any ill. The Reuben, sublime. This place will always be a go to for me when I am here. read more

Great Pastrami sandwiches and premium meats, great bagels with many delectable cream cheeses, I love the lox.... (sweet or savory) liver and onions dinner (not easy to find anywhere) latkes, chicken soup with Matzo balls, fresh breads, delightful cookies and pastries. Coffee drinks, (Hot or cold) fruit drinks and frappes. They roast their coffee in-house. Coffee is great! Service is good, everyone is very friendly and polite. The newest Chompies on Cactus is a favorite, modern and welcoming. read more

I ordered the pastrami sandwich and my sister ordered a corn beef sandwich. Yes it was piled high in the front or the middle of the sandwich but then it tapers out towards the ends so you're not getting as much as it looks. Also $25 for each sandwich I think is a little high read more

Met a business client for breakfast. I have honestly been afraid to eat lunch/dinner there after a few recent poor experiences with their corned beef. However, breakfast is generally a safe bet. Our meal was definitely delicious. read more

I ordered 2 bagels with Cream Cheese and 2 coffees. TWENTY MINUTES LATER!!!! I got my pretty good bagels and cold coffee. Thanks for the bagel and the long wait for a bad coffee. At least i got to watch one of the workers make himself a drink and finish it while I waited. Classy! read more

We got the Liver and Onions (with a side of mushroom barley soup) and Nova Lox Fish Plate. It was okay, but a bit pricey. Huge dining space and comfortable booths. We went between normal lunch and dinner rush hours so maybe that's why it was a bit emptier. Decent space to chat with friends. read more

Food is great. Especially the French omelet & their bagels(everything & pumpernickel) Frank, Anthony & Joey are great servers, & bakery Alex & Claudia),Jason. Are awesome. The atmosphere is not acceptable when people bring crying babies to cry & scream for hrs non stop, & no one does anything. People have hearing issues & lots of veterans in there read more

While the restaurant was not particularly busy, I found the service to be a bit slow. Regarding the menu, I would love to see more coffee selections available; I tried the caramel and vanilla iced coffee, but found it to be just okay. I also ordered the Broadway brisket bagel sandwich, which was decent but unfortunately a little dry. On a positive note, the buttermilk pancake was great :) read more

Upgraded my review of Chompie's based upon the past year. Food and service have improved based solely upon my experience. Ordered the A-Z Avocado served with two poached eggs and veggies. Asked them to cook the eggs so no egg snot. Breakfast was good and coffee cup was never empty. All good here. read more

A pretty authentic Jewish deli, with a New York vibe; in Arizona . Service was good, generous portions, lots of desserts and good drinks.

A gem! I've only purchased their bagels in the grocery store. I didn't realize there was an actual New York style deli in Phoenix. I was pleasantly surprised to find this location. Also this location has a market area where you can take desserts, bread and order bagels and sandwiches to go. The service was excellent, very attentive. I opted to sit at the bar and I noticed it was a bloody Mary bar. The ambience was fun and casual. I opted to sit at the bar and my server Chris was very busy, but efficient and friendly, I had a half portion of a rare roast beef sandwich, and it was almost like a full sandwich. As the portions are generous here, it makes it a good value. Will definitely return! read more

Chompie's makes excellent bagels and other baked goods and desserts. They offer sit down meals with mile high sandwiches and food you would find in a New York deli. Scrumptious! Always a popular and busy stop for people. Shared parking. read more

Horrible service. Restaurant was completely empty yet it took them 30 minutes to seat us. Then we waited another 50 minutes for our food. Complete apathy from the waiters. Horrible all around. This place needs completely new management that actually cares about customers. Seriously one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. read more

We've been meaning to come check this place out for a while as we've seen it and heard people talk about it but have never actually been to one. It was a pleasant experience. The restaurant was clean and well lit with murals and art on the walls. I enjoy when a space has character and this definitely did. The menu was straight forward and had a lot of good options. We were seen by a waiter quickly and our orders came out quickly. We enjoyed our food. My ham and Swiss on rye grilled cheese really hot the spot and I loved the fries too. After eating we went to check out the bakery and deli cases and the little gift shop. They had really nice options and some fun mugs for that friend with a good sense of humor. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Will be back in the future. read more

By way of full disclosure, I'm a New York Jew, so my standards for a Jewish Deli are astronomically high. I've never found a deli outside the NY area that meets NY standards, and the farther from NY, the less they do. Phoenix friends had told me about Chompie's, so while here on business I decided to try it. I'm not sorry I did, but it was only so-so. Food was OK - the corned beef was very fatty, but I don't object to that, but not much flavor. Cole slaw was good. I've never had to ask for pickles at a JD before, but this was a first. Server was a nice young woman, who really needs to be taught how to serve, down to not bringing a spoon with a cup of hot tea. Cheesecake was Sara Lee quality. Ambiance was OK, though I was there early (5 pm) and it could get noisy of it's crowded. Sorry, Chompies. A good try, but no prize. read more

This bagel shop is definitely more than your typical grab-and-go spot. It's a pretty large space with a mix of retail and dining, there's a full restaurant style seating area on one side and smaller, more casual tables on the other. They also sell a variety of merchandise, which gives it a unique, almost market style feel. I ordered the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and my son tried the Camelback chorizo. Both were flavorful. They were also offering pretzel samples while we waited, which was a nice touch and the pretzels were warm and really tasty. Overall, the food and atmosphere were solid, but the service could use a bit of improvement. Service was slow despite there being plenty of staff in the back chatting, and after placing my order while I was still at the counter, I asked for a cup of water and was told by the cashier to go to another person to order it. There was only one person behind me, so it felt unnecessary and not very customer friendly. It's a small detail, but those moments can impact the overall experience. read more

My sons 14th birthday was coming up and I noticed one day in Fry's that Chompie's was selling cakes and wondered if you could order a fresh cake from their store. Sure enough they had made to order cakes, so I placed an order a week in advanced for a white cake with chocolate frosting and a golf theme (since we were going to TopGolf). I actually spoke with the baker and we confirmed all details. When I arrived on Saturday morning to pick up the cake they could not locate it anywhere. They called the baker and he somehow got the day mixed up. Thankfully the party wasn't until 6pm so they said the baker would come in and make the cake and they could have it ready by 2pm. When I returned at 2pm the cake was ready and they made sure to tell me the baker had to come all the way in to make it, which is nice but um ok. Also I realized it was vanilla frosting and not chocolate like I specified but I didn't say anything cause there was a little chocolate. The written happy birthday was small and a bit sloppy but correct at this point I had no choice but to take it. Unfortunately the cake was terrible when we finally ate it and tasted like nothing but sugar, even the kids didn't like it. Hmmm I was expecting much more but now I'm thinking Chompies should stick to bagels. read more

I've been a Chompie's fan for almost two decades since I moved to Arizona... I've eaten in, taken out, and hosted some events with food provided by their catering team over the years too. This review is specifically about my most recent catering experience, however. I have to give a big shoutout to Amalia from Chompie's catering team... I called about a week or two prior to my event and we planned a menu for a Sunday brunch I was hosting at my house. Amalia was super personable and attentive and offered recommendations on the perfect menu... She followed up via email and after a couple of back and forth emails, we finalized the order. It included a large nova platter, assorted bagels and cream cheese, the fixings including lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumbers, and olives, a salad sampler with tuna salad and egg salad, a large fruit platter, a mini black and white cookie platter, and coffee. Chompie's uses a delivery service, so all of the above was delivered to my house and the woman who did so helped me set it up. It worked out perfectly... all of our guests enjoyed and we had plenty of leftovers to munch on as well. I will absolutely continue using Chompie's for future catering needs. Thanks again, Amalia and team! read more

Good food but the service is awful, saw my server one time and she was angry at the world. Won't be coming back

Where do I start... I came in and stood at the take out counter and watched as the employees walked past in the back and saw me... but I wasn't acknowledged in any way by anyone. Hello??? Maybe a bell??? A girl eventually came to the register and seemed to struggle as I ordered a b-a-g-e-l and cream cheese. Think that should be something EVERY employee should be trained on right away. You are a bagel deli, correct? The tables in the seating area were left dirty as a friend and I sat for quite a while chatting. Nobody came out to clean up or wipe - we used to meet here regularly but this visits reinforces why we don't come here any more. read more

First let's start off with what works here: Food! Chompies as a local deli chain is the closest to a traditional NY deli. Plenty of other solid ones back in Chicago, but out here there are just a few. Then we go to locations: Tempe was our first one, but they closed. Chandler followed as our next go to place when we lived in East Valley. Now in this part of town, this new location is the closest, but probably the worst in terms of service. Today's visit was the last straw. Bakery: Line almost out the door at lunch time and only one person working the counter. Took 5 min for a 2nd person to show up and handle coffee and counter service. Asked to bring Challah to an event, I immediately thought of this place. What I didnt realize when I got here is a BAKERY sells challah/bread baked and packed on 2/22 and 2/24 on 2/27! I expect a bakery to sell FRESH baked goods, not previously baked and frozen goods. Service: Not a single smile and nothing but attitude at the counter. This is the last time I am coming to this location, will drive to Shea or just go NY Bagel next time. So 4/5 Stars for general deli food and sandwiches, 1 Star for bakery service and "baked" goods. read more

Came here after doing some fishing to have breakfast. For it being Sunday the place wasn't crowded. This restaurant is always kept clean and their servers are always accommodating. This was my second visit to this particular place. This morning I thought I would try the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and hash browns. It was very tasty but was too much for this guy. I always forget their servings are big and enough for two. I will return to try something else. Nice place to eat and enjoy company. read more

I want deli food so bad. Pastrami is calling me. A tuna melt would melt my heart. But I refuse to go back to this Chompies ever again. The food is no longer good. The service is surly and avoidant. Did I say the food sucks now? I miss the Chompies Reuben that used to exist. And allow me to reiterate-the servers appear to actually hate the customers. Gonna go across town for my deli fix. SHAME ON YOU CHOMPIES. read more

We've been here a few times now, and in my opinion, it's one of the best spots in the valley for a true New York-style bagel sandwich. My go-to is the Wall Street Bagel (for the lox, of course), but the breakfast burritos are also a solid, budget-friendly option. The service is consistently great--every time we've visited, we've been greeted and helped promptly. Shout-out to Keston, who always takes care of us! As for the vibe, it's your classic café setting--lively but not loud, relaxed without feeling sleepy. It definitely gives off that Big City Train Station energy. Highly recommend it to anyone in search of a quality breakfast spot! read more

We've been going to Chompie's on 32nd Street for years now, usually whenever we end up getting work done at Discount Tire nearby. At this point it's basically tradition. One thing I appreciate about Chompie's is that it feels comfortable instead of trendy. Good booths, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and a menu that's massive enough that you can keep trying different things without getting bored. Over the years I've had everything from the Jewish Sliders to the Reuben, Monte Cristo, Five Town Special, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Lox and Loaded, and the Scottsdale Breakfast Sandwich. Honestly, I don't think I've had a bad meal there yet. My wife's favorites are the Half Chicken, Bronx Brisket Dipper, and the Holy Pierogi if she wants something lighter. She also absolutely loves their pickles. Pro tip: if you ask, they'll bring out extra pickles for free, which immediately scores points in our house. One underrated thing there is the coleslaw. We almost always get slaw instead of fries now. The fries are perfectly fine, but the slaw is weirdly excellent and fits the deli vibe better anyway. The coffee also deserves a mention because it's legitimately excellent diner/deli coffee. Rich, hot, flavorful, and it somehow fits the place perfectly. They actually roast the coffee on site, which honestly surprised me the first time I found out because most people probably just assume it's standard restaurant coffee. It's not. Sitting in a booth with good coffee while waiting on tires nearby has kind of become part of the whole experience for us. The only real downside to Chompie's is that some sandwiches are so oversized they become difficult to eat without half the contents trying to escape out the back side. Honestly though, that's a pretty easy problem to forgive when the food tastes good. Phoenix may not have true East Coast deli culture, but Chompie's feels like one of those places that has genuinely become part of local life. Reliable comfort food, good service, and the kind of restaurant you end up returning to for years instead of just once for social media photos. read more

Went with a bunch of friends last Sunday afternoon. It was dead. I was used to how busy it was a few years ago so I'd made a reservation. Lucky I didn't need the reservation because they acted as tho our large table was a complete surprise. They had to move tables together for us. Our server was extremely pleasant but sooooo sloooow. I finally said I didn't want my bar drink because I was tired of waiting. I ordered the tuna melt, was not as good as it used to be. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their order. I always used to choose Chompies over Miracle Mile Deli because of their superior menu and food but I may have to reconsider. Something seems to have changed but not for the best. read more

Chompie's is always a nostalgic choice for me whether it is Tempe, Chandler, or a new to me location like this one! When attending a concert with a friend this spring, I suggested we try this location to grub up before hand. She was running late so I had a chance for an appetizer, and then enjoyed my dish as well. Love the layout of this location, and if I'm in the area then I'd gladly return! read more

So, I finally checked out that huge place everyone's been talking about - wow, it's a monster! I'd heard so much about it, I had to see for myself. You know how sometimes you see a picture of a sandwich, piled high with meat, and then you get it and it's... not quite the same? Well, this wasn't one of those times! I ordered half a pastrami on rye, and seriously, the pastrami was AMAZING. There was SO much of it - I couldn't even finish it all! It was incredibly generous. My only tiny little nitpick? It could have used a bit more zip in the flavor department, and there was just a tad more fat than I usually prefer. I'm a bit of a lean meat fanatic, I guess! But honestly, that's a super minor complaint. Overall, it was a fantastic sandwich, and I'd definitely go back. Highly recommend checking it out! It's very nice and clean service wasn't bad read more

I had one of the worst takeout experiences I've ever had at Chompie's. I placed an online order Sunday at 5:25 PM for a roast beef sandwich and coleslaw. The system said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I even showed up late--about 10 minutes after the promised time--to give them extra buffer. When I walked in, the girl behind the counter casually said, "just 5 minutes, we're really busy and the kitchen is behind." That would make sense... except the restaurant was practically empty. There were maybe 3 tables occupied, all with small groups. Easily 90-95% of the place was wide open. Five minutes later: "any minute now." Then I see her go to the kitchen and come back saying they don't even have my order. She asks if it might be under another name. No. It wasn't. Then--unbelievably--she asks me again what I ordered and what I wanted on the sandwich. So at this point, it's clear the order was never even started. A few minutes later I hear "oh, I found it," and then another wait while they actually make the food. I finally got my order at 6:05 PM--40 minutes after ordering and 30 minutes after the promised pickup time--for a simple sandwich and coleslaw. What's worse than the delay is the constant lying. "5 minutes." "Any minute." "We're really busy." None of that was true. Just be honest instead of stringing customers along. I wasn't even a one-time customer. I ordered dinner here about once a month and bought bagels every week for work--12 bagels weekly for the last two years. That ended last night. They didn't just mess up an order--they lost a loyal customer. I won't be back, and I'll be making sure others know about this experience. read more

One thing I love about Chompie's is that you can still order quite a bit from the walk up deli/bakery side. My husband and I love to get an everything bagel and egg and bacon. We also always get a side of chive cream cheese. They have the best chive cream cheese in our opinion. The ratio of chives is done well. The reason for the four stars was that we were waiting in line by the sign and the cashier asked the guy who just walked up and was looking in the case if he could help him. I made eye contact with the cashier and he didn't even seem phased. The other issue is that I tried to put my reward number in and the cashier was so quick to end the transaction that I couldn't. She said, "oh sorry, well next time you can get your points". I was a little bummed and asked for the receipt hoping I could put it in after the fact. Unfortunately, I couldn't. They have a great rewards program that gives you 2pts for the $ and a birthday deal as well. Other than those little issues, the food was promptly prepared once we ordered and it was tasty. The deli area has a nice little seating area where you can eat quickly and be on your way. We will be back. I will remember next time to ask about the rewards before my card is taken. read more

Always great for breakfast. They are a well oiled machine. Food is always good. Great service and decent prices. Recommend.

Great place where it is huge compared to the one on Shea and 92nd. The food is always yummy. Had their half a pastrami and cup of Chicken with Matzo ball soup. They always pile the pastrami so high that you just have open your mouth WIDE. My wife had the whole pastrami sandwich on rye and brought half of it home. Our server was okay you had to ask for the pickles which normally comes when you are seated. Anyway, we love this venue. Bought some cookies, bagels and apple turnover which were oh so good. read more

Not a bad place to pick up a breakfast bagel for a decent price. They have several options for breakfast and lunch. This location includes the ability to order for pick up if you're on the go or you can eat in the restaurant since they have a dining area. They also offer a ton of pastry options, bread, bagels, and little kitchen or miscellaneous items for gifts. The service was a little rude this last time I went, like the staff was in a bad mood or something but it's not the norm. Usually a good spot overall. Usually, if we get seated in the dining area, the servers are very nice. read more

Service was really poor. One associate serving so many customers and he was nowhere to be found so had to wait a long time before we could even order. They discontinued making there best chocolate mousse pastry and now it's a thick blob of chocolate and not the same. The 7 layer pastry was so hard and on the drier side. Coffee was also just okay, nothing to rave about. They have a lot of good stuff but they should not modify there recipes and surprise customers as chocolate mousse pasty was one of there best sellers and delicious. Tables were not clean and we had to take napkins and clean them. Little things matter. read more
