| - I went to the PV Mall location of Chompie's for the first time recently for lunch. I hadn't been to Chompie's since they moved from their Greenway location. The three of us were seated quickly and greeted shortly thereafter by our waiter. After a few minutes of deciding, we ordered. I split one of their big ol' sandwiches with my wife. Can't remember the name, but it was named after something in NY (brooklyner, holland tunnel, staten island, etc.). It was basically a sandwich with turkey and roast beef piled high, with an extra piece of rye bread in the middle. We liked it, but my jaw hurt afterwards from trying to jam that huge sandwich in my pie-hole, oh vey!
The other person in our party ordered some type of sandwich, along with a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. Can't go wrong there, however, at one point, our waiter came over with another can of soda when the original cup was just about drained. As far as I'm aware, there was no discussion of the additional can, it just appeared, which would make it seem as if it was complimentary. Unfortunately, it did appear on the bill...at $2.29 (or something like that) each, that is quite the refill fee, especially for someone that didn't ask! We didn't fuss about that, but it is definitely a major annoyance to me, when places don't have free refills, but give you said refill as if it were free, not even asking if you'd like.
On the way out, we hit the bakery for the bagels and some black and whites. We got some pumpkin (and other assorted) bagels, but no black and whites. Why not, you ask? Because for the season, they had orange and browns! Feeling festive we got a couple of these. Maybe they should call the originals brown and whites, because the chocolate frosting didn't change color. The orange frosting was just the normal frosting with food coloring. But they were as good as black and whites usually are, so no complaints. The bagels over the next few days were good as well.
Three stars for Chompie's. Probably would have been a four if not for the 'soda incident'.
