It was not a busy night and the hostess was nowhere to be seen. Ended up waiting for quite a bit. The nice lady behind the deli counter sensed my annoyance and seated me. The waiter brought a small glass of water and a tiny tray of quarter-sliced sour and half-sour pickles. I really like the sours but not so much with the half-sours. I ordered a full corned beef sandwich with Coney Island knish (my fave). The waitress brought my order and I went right into the sandwich. The corned beef left something to be desired. The corned beef was pretty dry so I had to drown the corned beef in mustard to make it more palatable. The knish was overcooked and slightly burned leaving an off-putting taste, so again the mustard saved the night.
The only highlight of this dinner was a seven-layer cake. It was delicious.
I was disappointed with their service and food quality. I don't know if they had an off night. I am a native New Yorker and have gone to Chompie's quite a few times and normally they delivered.
