Chompie's Restaurant, Deli, and Bakery

We tried Chompies for the first time today. First, let me say it was hard to not order everything on the menu. The sandwiches were piled high with meat. They were delicious. The bagels had a wonderful chewy texture just like a New York bagel ahould be. They make their own cream cheese and we had a sampler of 4 of them. They were all amazing! The original had a great texture, the honey walnut was my favorite, the honey was light and the walnuts were a nice texture, the garden veggie was a light flavor and not over powering, it was lovely. The almond strawberry was nice, though I don't love almonds, The flavor was spot on. The service was just right. We were there at 2:15 so the lunch crowd was leaving and it was a perfect environment. I ordered a toasted marshmallow coffee after our meal and it was a perfect ending. The caramel was a little strong for me and I would order a shot of espresso in it next time but that is just my preference. If you want a New York style deli and bagels this is your place. The market attached to the restaurant has all kinds of goodies from bagel and cream cheese to a large assortment of desserts. We tried a cream horn and eclaire. Both were amazing and left you wanting another 😊

Bakery and restaurant! I was sold added bonus was my new york Yankees!! My mom took me here after my dad passed and he liked it here being that he was from New York. I must've ordered everything in the bakery. Mom had the pastrami and I had a slider. Food was great, staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was my heart.

These are easily the best bagels I have ever tasted. I have tried bagels in major cities across the country, and nothing compares to these. They are fresh, perfectly textured, and full of flavor. The cashier was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

IMHO, this is the best NYC style deli this side of the Rockies. The sandwiches are huge. The corned beef rueben was moist and tender and had the perfect amount meat-to-fat ratio.

First time here. Wasn't disappointed. Will be back! The only thing I didn't like was being able to smell cigarette smoke while I was eating because the patio door was open. I didn't all them to close it but I'm sure they would have.

It was our first time in and the experience was absolutely amazing. The food was great I got the Scottsdale cragel and loved it so much. My husband got something with smoked salmon I’m not a fan of fish but I tried it and it was so good. The staff was incredibly friendly as were the other guests and the atmosphere was very lively. The noise was a bit loud from so many people but not to loud that you had to raise your voice to talk. They also have an area to dine that is like a no talking zone so it was very quiet and relaxing there. I do also have to honor the pickles that were brought out. I’m an avid pickle hater but I’m always willing to try new things and I went back for a second bite they were so good if a little salty but didn’t have the super strong vinegar/dill taste 10/10 definitely recommending to everyone I know

AWESOMELY HUGE deli/restaurant AND bar 🍺🍹 Great service & excellent food. Had to wait about 20 minutes but it was a Sunday mid day so all was well. 👍

Husband is from New Jersey so I tested him to latkes and whatever else reminded him of home! Thank you! The BLT was delicious and the lemon bar.

My favorite place for a bagel in the morning. Not to mention the amount of cream cheese is insane. The jalapeño cheddar bagel is delicious. The chive cream cheese.... 10/10. A must stop if you're in the area

I was craving a corned beef Reuben for about two weeks, so I had finally tortured myself long enough. I also remembered I could get the sandwich on a gluten-free option at Chompie's, so I headed that direction. The dining room was about half full, the indoor-outdoor bar had a few people around it also. There were seemingly piles of food on every table! I really enjoyed the half-size sandwich, got chicken noodle soup as my side, plus it came with coleslaw. I really like the layout of this relocated Paradise Valley location.

Original Review December 25, 2025: To this day no one reached out to us or better yet post a apology online. Not asking for anything free just accountability. Been going to this restaurant when it was originally located in the mall. Waiters are fantastic and hard-working. We followed the staff to this location. Management doesn't care.. it's official we're gone that's our experience. Sad

This is so sad..... Chompie's was a hit in my family and now its embarrassing to even bring them here. Stopped in while waiting for clothes at the laundromat, service was insanely slow at the bar, our bartender came and took our order THREE times before he actually put it in. I asked to speak to management and was told that they said they were too busy in the deli. I have NEVER experienced such a dirty and disrespectful experience from an establishment, let alone Chompie's. It seems it is the new standard here. Take your business elsewhere .

Long wait for a table ridiculously long but counter service was extremely quick . Really overpriced but I NEEDED a lox bagel so ...anyway the bagels were very good the lox bagel was full of lox and the chicken salad was delicious very obviously store made . I don't know if it's worth the very long wait for a table but certainly it's worth taking out

Love Chompies Just an overall good place to enjoy good food and bonus they're open on Christmas Day!

Hadn't been here in a while...Annnd our location closed down so trying this location and not being here made for a great experience back our serve who was so polite, I hope he doesn't go to hard on me for not remembering his name. But he was so helpful. The restrooms were clean and I was literally about to bust. The dinning space is huge and offers their bakery and store on the other side. They have outside seating and the food was absolutely delicious. We both got the originals since this place was near and dear to our hearts okay more like our stomachs but it was like an anniversary not having been in so long. Well worth driving from my side of town just to eat hot good from here.

Service is awful. Waited & waited. 20 mins. Finally someone came. Food was too expensive. Egg sandwich, & my friends country breakfast with beverages came to $55. Not worth it

Another miserable attempt at food. The brisket on the sliders was extremely fatty and less than half was edible. The chicken in the noodles soup was dark meat and fries were soggy. Bad day and bad location.

I absolutely love this Chompies! We go here at least a couple times per month. I love their salads most of all. Omelettes, burros, and pancakes are also outstanding. Service is always top notch.

Delish! Not a bad place to break my Yom Kippur fast - a NY style deli and Chompie's was it! I had the Lox and Loaded which was loaded with lox, cream cheese, eggs, and a late (I had that on the side), on a toasted everything bagel. Was a huge meal and the latke was delish too. The best part of the meal was the chocolate 7 layer cake which brought me right back to my childhood! Excellent and I left more than stuffed and fulfilled. The restaurant is huge, with a sitdown bar, bakery, and tchotchkes shop. Oh and a huge outdoor patio. Lovin Chompies!

I'm not quite sure how to describe this eatery. It's part New York deli and part Texas diner with Mexican flavoring. There is ample parking. You should probably get on the waiting list if you want to eat here on the weekend anytime before 2 pm. The decor is quite showy. The food is designed to fill you up. You will not leave hungry. I ordered a hamburger and I managed to eat it all. It was very tasty and cooked exactly to my specifications. I also had a great tasting latte with soy milk. There is a nice patio. The waiter was very attentive but a little forgetful. All our food arrived quite quickly.

Wow, you really need an appetite or a doggie bag! Portions are huge! I had the protein pancakes and they were delicious! I'm looking forward to my leftovers tomorrow morning! Service was great. If you come here on the weekend like we did, expect to wait until a table opens up. There are a lot of tables inside and an outside patio area too.

My husband and I loved this place! It is so spacious and they even have a cute market on one side where you can purchase gifts, desserts, breads, bagels, beverages and much more. The service was great and we got our food super quick. The menu has a ton of options, so there is something for everyone. I definitely want to come back to try more of the menu!

Tried the food again. Dreadful. Toast was not toasted. Eggs runny, bacon and sausage under cooked. Service slow.

Greetings Brunch Fans around the World! 2024 is Already an awesome year!! January 4th is my Birthday and like a famed Actor George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds. Hundreds Fans filled the stands To Pay Tribute to Their Favorite TARGET CASHIER ASSOCIATE. My Closet Friend and Christian Brother Vaughn invited me here. My Egg-white Omelette was Superb!! Doused it with CHOLILA. I also ate a toasted Pumpernickel Bagel ; Smeared with Walnut Cream cheese. Two Strips of Hickory Smoked Bacon , Two links of Sausage and Cup after Cup Of Coffee. The pictures to follow are Murals. Being an X New Yorker by Way of Baltimore ; are Scenes of The Big Apple .. Great Service, Great Company and Great Food!

Always good, the pastrami, egg and Swiss bagel is the Best! You need to try it for yourself

I love the people who wait on us at the to go counter. Their deli is the best. The bagels bialys. Everything. I've been going since I moved here in 1987. Love my Chompie's

Quality is inconsistent, more likely than not, inconsistency and please make iit right,, say something and you go on a GMs (Jaime) and unexpected. Visit at your table, why'd you complain we are here to make money, hospitality lacking. Another opinion, GM (Jaime) is a piece of !El Toro caca. Devolved from a great Jewish Deli to, who knows what. Do they even know who the Brooklyn Dodgers were before going to LA, Less likely than not Here comes Jaime, how's my report card?

Pastrami and pickles were great. Grilled rye, no I wanted it toasted. Grilled had extra oil soaked in. Cole slaw mediocre. I'd still give it another try. I thought I was overcharged. Sent e mail, no response.

By far our favorite breakfast spot! The food is always delicious, the service is always attentive, and the portions are very generous. I can always get two meals out of my breakfast. My favorite is the Baja omelette and my boyfriend loves the All American breakfast and the strawberry shortcake pancakes. However the best part to me is you can get a latke instead of potatoes or hash browns. Definitely the way to go!!

Yeah, I was hankering for one of those pastrami sandwiches. Haven't been into this new location so I thought I would try it out.. what a disaster waited in line for 12 minutes get up to the cashier to order my pastrami sandwich with potato salad no drink $28 WTF for a sandwich ? No, I know why Henry Ford felt the way he did . So I decided to call and speak to the manager. The girl that answered identified herself as the manager and asked me if I could wait on on hold. Yes, you're gonna waste more of my time by putting me on hold on the phone. Yeah I'm done. That's the last time they will see this pretty face.

Never a long wait and always great food with good value. Servers are awesome and attentive.

Oh dear. We (Mark H.) has a weak spot for a good diner. I've had Chompie's bagels quite a few times at work, but we weren't aware that Chompie's has an attached restaurant where you can sit down to eat until a friend pointed this out to us recently. If we die early from eating too much Chompie's, it's their fault. To start, the menu is MASSIVE. Do you want traditional greasy diner American breakfast food with eggs and chicken fried steak? You're in luck! How about a reuben? There's multiple reuben options on the menu! Bagel sandwich? They have loads. Feeling some traditional Matzo Brei or potato latkes? No problem. So far, we've tried the corned beef hash (the best I've ever had), one of the reuben options, the cheese blintzes, and the matzo brei. I haven't even sampled one tenth of the items I'm excited to try. There are whole omelet and eggs benedict sections just waiting for me. There also appears to be a full bar, if you're feeling like an Irish mule on St. Patty's Day. This might be our new weekend tradition.

I recently tried Chompie's jalapeño bagel and coffee cake and I must say, I was blown away by the delicious flavors! The jalapeño bagel had the perfect amount of spice and was incredibly fresh and chewy. The coffee cake was moist, flavorful, and had a generous amount of crumb topping that added a nice crunch. I paired my breakfast treats with a cup of their coffee and I was equally impressed. The coffee was rich and smooth, the perfect accompaniment to my meal. The overall experience at Chompie's was fantastic and I will definitely be coming back for more of their tasty baked goods and great coffee. I highly recommend stopping by Chompie's for a delicious breakfast or snack. You won't be disappointed!

"TASTY BUT TOO SALTY." -coffee was basic and watered down (no bold flavors nor body) -potato wages seasoning needs to be revamped. -the bagels were good. -the steak, potatoes, egg, cheese and gravy bagel was so good but it was too salty I couldn't finish it. -we asked for stuffed French toast and got regular. -the cole slaw was good. Would I come back. Yes I'm going to give them another shot!

This place is so unorganized! I came in to buy some loafs of challah bread. While I was waiting in the line there were two employees redecorating the front displays with no intention of helping any of the customers waiting in line. I was waiting at least 10 minutes if not longer before an employee even asked if I had been helped yet. There was literally one other person in front of me and who knows how long he had been waiting. By the tone of his voice and his irritation with the employees I'm sure it was just as long as me. This is the second time I've came to this location and have experienced this unnecessary long wait.

I've been going to the various locations for decades now! I am happy to share the terrific value, excellent food, and great service with my children with a nearer location. The bagels are the best in town and I highly recommend their version of the nova lox called the Wall Street or any of their fantastic sliders.

Great food and service. I brought home some yummy old school bakery cookies. Chompie's is one of our regular breakfast spots. Usually crowded but we never have to wait long to get a seat. Went with two friends this trip and they enjoyed their meals too.

Just my reconfirmation that this is the ONLY New York style deli that you need . Perfection on every level , service is more than perfect , food is quality as can be

This place is impressive in size and the variety of things to look at and to purchase in the store area is impressive. Service is relatively fast and efficient. I found the food to be adequate in quantity but rather average in quality, and quite pricey. Very spacious parking area, though that can be quite crowded during peak hours and holidays.

Excellent egg, sausage, cheese on egg bagel. I'd share a picture but I ate it. Got it to go, so I can't comment on much else. I love Chompies for breakfast and lunch.

Serene was amazing as always. Chompie's is blessed to have a talented staff of folks like her.

Tried Chompie's for the first time on a Sunday. It had a good crowd but there was no waiting! The service was excellent - fast and friendly. Our server was super helpful and answered all our questions. Deciding on a lunch item was a challenge because there were 3 menus: bagel sandwiches, breakfast and the lunch/dinner menus. Although I didn't count - my guess is there is over 75 options! Based on my server's recommendation , I chose the Tuna Melt on sourdough with coleslaw. I would give the sandwich a 3.5 out of 5. It was good but could have used a bit more flavor (maybe a stronger flavored cheese). That said, my overall rating based on all factors is a 4. Definitely worth a try and I will definitely be back!

This was my first time eating alone in a very long time but I had to try out their eggs benedict again while I was in the area. When I arrived I went to the host and was seated after they had finished their conversation... :/ Once I was seated I was ignored for about 10 minutes and then someone came up to me and asked if I had been taken care of... I said no.. I then order the chompies eggs bene and a water. After I received my food I tried it and was not impressed at all! The bagel it came on was tougher than leather to cut and the hollandaise sauce was disgusting, the cheese they used wasn't even melted. I remember it being so much better than that.. after that the server came up dropped off the bill and then I paid my $16.28 bill and left a great tip but nobody came to check on me so I just left... crap service..

Best food ever! We order items from the bakery for celebrations and we also go in for lunch and dinner. Delicious.

Went Thursday afternoon We just flew in from Denver and went to our favorite place. We have been going to Chompies for over 20 years! Unfortunately we discovered that The Cooks were new and so was our waiter. The food was really badly cooked and not up to our standard Chompie meal. I mean awful! We asked for the manager! Summer showed up and she made everything perfect and in fact we could not wait to come back after her accommodations. She admitted immediately that her staff were new and she is working with them. She comped our meal, gave us cheesecake and cookies to go ( we did not ask for anything but she went above and beyond to make things right! She was so sweet and concerned, that we believe management should make her a partner! We will be back often and I really hope management reads about what a difference their manager at this location can make! Thanks Summer!!!

We had great service at the dine-in area for which I left 5-stars, but the to-go/deli side needs some improvement. I stop in occasionally on my way to work, and they are so slow! The first time I stopped in before work I thought for sure there would be a long line. Nope, only one person ahead of me. Still seemed to be waiting for too long to even place my order. And most of the employees really don't seem to want to be there. I know that customer service most places has tanked, especially since Covid, but I'm going to continue to call it out. I was taught that no matter what job you do you should give it your all and take pride in the job you do. You don't just show up and expect a paycheck. You earn it. I'm not sure some of these folks are earning it, but instead just going through the motions. One last thing I want to mention is about the Wall Street sandwich. I've had lox bagel sandwiches at many places, both here and on the east coast. Why is it just onion and tomato with the lox and cream cheese? Other places include capers, and possibly even cucumber - both of which really add flavor. The Chompies version just doesn't cut it and not worth the price. I'll still stop in, but make sure to give myself plenty of time so I won't be late for work, and I'll stick with just bagels and cream cheese.

Great for deli and bagels. The bagels are always super fresh and so good!!! Can meet all your needs for a breakfast, brunch or any occasion.

Richard is always so much pleasant and attentive. Always comes around and asks how we're doing even when we're being helped by another server. Not to mention the food is fantastic.

Service was slow knish came out cold as did my wife's soup. Never offered mustard or anything for her sandwich. Stuffing never happened on the turkey. Sandwich on wrong bread. Server apologized for the knish. So much for my birthday dinner.

I love all the Chompie locations in the valley. The food and service never disappoints no matter what location we are dining in. We usually go here when we are celebrating either a holiday, birthday or milestone with our family. It's a great place for groups. The sliders are my go-to dish. We always get pastries, cream cheese, bagels and breads to go before we leave. We were at the east Thunderbird location and there was a very friendly older gentleman giving out samples. He gave me so many ideas on what to buy in the bakery area and how to prepare them differently. I hope they stay in business forever!

Visiting here from Texas. This place was recommended by family. Upon entering, it is very nice, clean and everyone was hospitable. The bakery items looked delicious. I ordered the Chompie s Sliders with potato wedges.

Wow, what a bad experience... Walked in to place a sandwich order, on Saturday @ 2:45p, Place was empty yet it took ALL 3 of the counter people to help the couple in front of me as NONE of them knew what to do, or how to ring up their rather simple order (I should have left then) actually needed a supervisor to bail them out...Finally took me, a simple sandwich order, slaw & a cookie, they put my slaw & cookie in a separate bag, and had me wait for the sandwich...15 min later, they realized that they hadn't sent the order back to the kitchen, lamely apologized, didn't even offer me a beverage whilst I waited, and got it out to me after yet another 10 min. wait...They screwed up the entire thing, and all I asked for was 1,000 island on the side, not even in the bag...Sandwich had been hastily thrown together, slices of bread were damaged, very poor service, got slaw juice all over the cookie...And for this I paid $30???...I will NEVER order at this location again...Reciept #603 just in case you're interested

Such a great place! Went to the Cactus road location which is the best one of the bunch. There's a separate deli which carry's all the traditional Jewish deli items. From whitefish salad to lox to great hamantaschen and rugelach cookies. People are super friendly and want to help. Go for the extensive Reuben selection, Mile, high sandwiches, matzoh, ball soup, Montecristo sandwiches they've got it all. They even have a 24 hour breakfast menu full of specialties. They even have gluten-free options, as well as low-carb, high-protein options. A great place for family or couples. The restaurant is large service is great.

Amazing menu with a huge assortment of creative dishes and sandwiches. Dishes are plentiful. Had the Leo (lox, eggs, and onions) and couldn't finish it. Service is stellar and friendly. A go-to restaurant.

I'm not sure which lisiting is current - this one or the other - but I'll add my thoughts here too! Now that they've settled into the new location, I can provide a bit more feedback. I haven't had a sit-down meal in the restaurant section yet, but I've eatten in the cafe area and am there for take-out at least twice a month. The to-go ordering process, unfortunately, hasn't gotten any clearer. I still don't know where to stand, who's next, etc. Others still seem confused too. However, the bagels, the bagels the bagels. There are no other bagels in town, IMHO, than Chompies. If you like a solid NY-style bagel, this is your place. Some artisanal places are fine, but I just want a good bagel and Chompies delivers. Unfortunately it's pretty much the only item I can buy from here that's vegan. I keep hoping they'll add hummus to the deli case, or offer some kind of solid vegan options on the dining menu. Or a vegan margarine for the bagels. In the meantime, I will continue to return for the bagels, to-go!

I enjoy Chompies! We used to go to the Shea location for breakfast all the time but have been frequenting the Cactus location more recently and it does not disappoint. My partner had the Pastrami breakfast bagel sandwich and I had the La Jolla Salad. They were very accommodating in changing our seating as well when a big party was being seated right next to us.

I made the mistake of stopping by this location today to get a coffee and bagel. When I approached the counter the staff member kept addressing me as "Habibi" - presumably because of my Middle Eastern background. Please don't do this to random customers who you presume are Middle Eastern - it's very bizarre and unwelcome, just like calling a random Native American customer "Chief" would be bizarre and unwelcome. I ordered a Nitro Cream Cold Brew and a Jalapeno Bagel. I received a blueberry bagel and the wait for the coffee was 15 minutes long. This combination of an incorrect order, an odd interaction, and a prolonged wait made the overall experience subpar and I would hesitate to consider returning in the future.
