| - Well my last experience at Chompie's wasn't good at all, which was incredible deviation from my previous visit, but it was bad enough to leave a mark. Luckily the manager reached out to me with incredible service and invited me back to make it right. Yesterday I finally had a chance to do so and it was a wonderful experience...
I called in my order to go and Hannah warmly answered the phone and correctly took my order (substitutions and all). She told me they'd get it ready and come on in. I arrived to pick it up 10 minutes later and there was Hannah at the front pastry case to cheerfully greet me and grab my order for. I ordered the Holland Tunnel Sandwich with extra pastrami instead of salami accompanied by coleslaw and it was prepared perfectly. Along with my sandwich I checked in on yelp (yay!) and got a free black and white cookie, and also ordered a giant eclair and a couple butter cookies (soooo good). I paid for my food and was delighted with my interaction with the staff and quality of food that I had picked up (such a different experience than before). When I got it home to devour, the meats were juicy, flavorful, and lovely, and the pastries delicious. What a treat!
Chompie's has an enormous menu and everything on it looks good, it's hard to decide. The portion sizes are extremely generous, so you won't be hungry when you leave. The only knock I have is that it is very pricey, for one sandwich (it was big) and a few pastries it was over $25.00. I did enjoy every bit of it though!
I am happy to report that my previous experience must have been an off day, and that with the wonderful management, friendly staff, and amazing deli deliciousness I will be back many times. Chompie's is back on my recommendations list!
