| - C and I met my New Jersey buddy here on a Friday afternoon. 1:45ish. The place was almost empty. I can't imagine people waiting in line here as some reviewers have mentioned. Seriously? Wait in line? Anyways. My buddy gave it a 4 star. His review is around here somewhere. And it does remind me of the Deli's in New York. Well actually, it reminds me of Deli's in a lot of cities. This restaurant is quite large, lots of tables and booths. Also, a large patio. Plenty of seating. Our hostess was pleasant enough. Sat us in a booth, told us who are server would be and headed back to the check-in stand.
Our server was fine. He did fail to mention anything about "All you can eat Fish & Chips" on Fridays though. And it was Friday. Hmm. Well, to be fair, he didn't really mention anything other than the standard "what can I get you to drink?" We got our drinks and ordered our lunch.
My friend S ordered a Signature sandwich; Times Square New Yorker with Pastrami. $15.99. This sandwich, as shown in the pic is NOT worth near 16 bucks. MAYBE $12.99. And that's being generous. His comment when we were leaving was "Definitely not worth the price". Hmmm, yet he still gave it a 4 star.
I ordered a Signature sandwich as well, Wendy's Favorite. $14.99. Now, as you can see in the pic, there was A LOT of Turkey. Over 13 oz. (I weighed the half I took home, 6.6 oz.) Since as you can see it's kind of impossible to eat as it's served, I took one roll of Turkey off and put that in a to-go box. I took the other roll of Turkey and cut it in half and put the sandwich back together with that. Well, I also added the lettuce, red onion rings and tomato from C's Cheeseburger plate which turned it into a nice sandwich. The bread I will say was sad. Falling apart, flattened. Definately nothing special. And what's with the potato salad being served in a little cup? I'm dining IN. Put the salad ON the plate. Oh, and the potato salad. Hard potato pieces, not a whole lot of flavor. Unimpressed.
As I mentioned, C ordered the Checkered Cab Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries. $8.48. Again, not worth the price. The patty was smaller than the bun which was nothing special, kind of a flattened sesame seed bun. Plus, the kids meal does NOT include a drink. So, add an additional $1.99 for a child's drink and you have $10.47 for a kids meal. How do people with kids afford this place? I didn't realize until after we left that his meal was supposed to come with a Sprinkle Cookie. It didn't. The $2 bump in price for his meal was for the Sweet Potato Fries. They were good and a decent portion. Not sure if they're worth the $2 price bump though.
The total bill for the 3 of us with 20% tip was $59.41. That's almost $20 each. The list of restaurants that C and I could go to for $40 bucks and have a great lunch or dinner is HUGE. Chompies is NOT on that list.
I love the disclaimer on the Gluten Free menu that states because of the possibility of cross contamination, Chompie's can't guarantee that the Gluten Free friendly items are 100% Gluten Free. So what's the point? I guess "Gluten Free" sounds better than "Maybe Gluten Free". Do people with a Gluten sensitivity mind playing Russian roulette with that? I assume it's not as critical as a nut or shellfish allergy 'cause that would not be good.
Tip:Kids under 10 eat free on Tuesday with minimum $8 adult purchase.
