We went to Chompie's after church on Sunday and arrived about 12:30. The only reason that I am not giving Chompie's five stars is because after being seated, the wait for the food was long. However, don't let that stop you from going. The food is fantastic and worth waiting for. I had bagels and lox and can't say enough about the smoked salmon. It was tender and delicious. The dish also came with sliced tomatoes (and they were actually juicy), cucumbers, red onions, lettuce and olives. Other members of our family ordered the Biltmore Benedick - that tasty salmon on muffins, topped with eggs and a creamy white sauce - and the Chicago hot dog which has every condiment imagineable piled on top. We ate tons of Jewish dill pickles while we waited for our food and asked for another plateful which was delivered to us ASAP.
I enjoy this Chompie's more than the one at Paradise Valley Mall because it has more personality. Be sure to check out the baked goods behind the bakery counter! They also sell day old bagels for a discounted price that would still taste great toasted. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and checked on us often.
I haven't eaten at very many Jewish delis in NYC, but this is as good as my favorite deli in Philly.
