The chicken heater was delicious and lived up to its name. And that Mac n cheese really did taste like it was made homemade with a mother's love. Definitely recommend! read more

Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'll bump them up a little. Came here a couple years ago and I thought they were good if not great. Tonight I came here with my son as we needed a quick bite and we were in the area. And I will say it was a little better than I remember last time. I got the works with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and provolone. On this one the beef was a little better than last time. The roll is a little too soft for my tastes. It doesn't hold up as well as others. But it was solid. It's still not in my top 10 in the city. But it will go on my more recommended list. read more

This wasn't our original destination for that iconic Philly cheesesteak experience, but when you're near the Benjamin Franklin Museum with a couple of very hungry boys, convenience wins every time. The boys split a classic cheesesteak and a soft pretzel with Cheese Whiz. The cheesesteak hit the spot and definitely satisfied their hunger. The pretzel was good too, though they spent a few minutes picking off some of the extra salt (kid priorities). No complaints otherwise, plates were cleared. I opted for the Wing Ding salad, since I was strategically saving room for a bucket of fries later at Chickie's & Pete's. And honestly? Great decision. The grilled chicken was tender, generously tossed in hot sauce, blue cheese, and shredded cheese -- flavorful without being over-the-top. I absolutely inhaled it. They also offer a huge selection of homemade desserts that looked tempting enough to derail my fry plans. Even though it's technically a chain, it doesn't feel cookie-cutter. You can tell the staff and the family behind it, put their own touch and pride into the menu and service. Tip: Bring cash. It's cheaper if you pay that way. Was it the legendary cheesesteak stop we initially had in mind? No. Was it convenient, satisfying, and made with care? Yes. read more

Come to Philly on a random Friday and Wifey and I wanted a cheesesteak. Checked what was close to our hotel AND where neither of us had eaten previously. So Campo's was the choice. Oldest cheesesteak place in Philly Wifey got the Chicken Works and I got the regular Works cheesesteak (we did halfsies), got some Cole slaw and we each had a beer. (Side note, New Jersey's stupid rules about alcohol really are dumb...places would make SO much more money if it wasn't so stupidly expensive and hard to get a liquor license). The place wasn't packed at all and the lady at the register was SOOO friendly. I'm sure this place gets crazy at times, but it was a really chill atmosphere. We both loved the sandwiches. They ain't giving them away, and the aren't huge like some of the touristy spots, but they were delicious and we walked away FULL. If you haven't tried Campo's...you should. read more

This is probably our least favorite on this trip. The Philly cheesesteak bread was soft and the rib eye and cheese wasn't mixed well together. The sandwich was light as we knew immediately It's not as hefty as other places. For the price of the cheesesteak this is not worth it. Flavor wise not the best. We also ordered a pork sandwich which to our surprise didn't come with any vegetables and it's just provolone fried onions and pork. The pork was tough and not shredded and mixed well together. It's literally just gravy mixed into the pork. I would skip this one. read more

So I'm reviewing the Campos that is located in Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies! My wife and I actually was in the Market St area but didn't want to eat at the time. The guide for our tour told us the ballpark location was just as good as the downtown location. Anyway...got a Philly cheesesteak just as the locals suggest. I had cheese wiz with onions. My wife got the provolone with onions. If you think you don't like cheese wiz, maybe you think it's fake cheese, try it anyway. It's pretty good! The video likely will not do it justice, but included it anyway! Got to try Campos, ballpark or on Market street when you're in Philly! read more

I'm not a Philly native so not an expert but as a visitor to Campos , I recommend checking it out. Shared a cheesesteak sandwich with everything ( I personally liked Campos additions of onions, mushrooms and peppers) and we tried their potato salad. Both were super tasty and the service was really friendly. The recommended sides made from mom are a must to share. I liked the potato salads a lot. It has more of a vinegar based profile, which coming from the west coast I'm so used to just basically mayo-based potato salads. They are fine but can be heavy, this was totally the opposite and has us craving more. The cheesesteak itself has a nice soft bread and was filling. Each bite was well portioned and the toppings were well distributed. Maybe a good spot for your cheesesteK tour as there's another cheesesteak spot just a few steps down. I like their location being centrally located next to a subway exit. Literally once you get back to street level we were just a few steps from the entrance. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Fair warning we were surrounded by little birds when we ate outside. I don't encourage feeding them but they are obviously used to humans and aren't afraid to beg for food. If that's not your thing I recommend sitting indoors. read more

Hey friends! Not sure how I missed the three stars on Yelp, but I was excited to try this place and was unfortunately let down lol. The cheesesteak was mediocre. Something that I could get from Charley's. The Mac and cheese, was....weird. Not flavorful at all but sweet. This seems like a tourist trap as it's downtown close to Penn's Landing lol. -Customer service was great. - Bathroom needed some attention. -Too pricey for the quality. I don't recommend if you're looking for an authentic cheesesteak. read more

I admittedly did not get a cheesesteak, I got the caprese, but it was amazing! High quality ingredients including great bread. Lots of great flavor from the balsamic and marinated tomatoes, but never got oily. Great sandwich and there are tons of non-cheesesteak options on the menu for those of us who are not as big of fans...everyone else I went with did get a cheesesteak though and enjoyed. read more

On a recent trip to Philadelphia, the Mr. and I were on the hunt for the *best* cheesesteak. There are lots of options in Philly, so after reading tons of reviews I narrowed down our choices. One of those choices was Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks. We ordered two sandwiches so we could try more options. One with provolone cheese (not sharp) and one with cheese whiz. Both had grilled onions and peppers. Ultimately, he preferred the one with whiz while I liked the one with provolone best. These are huge sandwiches. There was no way I could have eaten a whole one by myself. We ate outside and enjoyed the atmosphere very much. read more

Is it OK if get deeply personal for a second? One strange thing about dating apps in 2025 is how many "moderate" political types there are. And how can one be "apolitical" in these times? But I did get slightly apolitical on the cheesesteak front during my New Year's Eve visit. Going to the midnight fireworks, then taking a bus in the rain and waiting on a long line at Pat King's of Steaks is a memory from my younger days, and by that I mean early 50s. With a rare chance for a fireworks doubleheader, I figured I'd stay nearby. Yeah, I wondered if going to something in this tourist-friendly block was akin to dining at a Times Square Applebee's but figured Campo's would be fine since it was open since 1947. I enjoyed The Works. The peppers and mushrooms allow you to feel healthy for a few seconds. The ribeye was juicy. It didn't have the over-the-top meltiness of my favorite steaks. The workers were friendly. I realize that Pat's doesn't have the Reddit seal of approval, and that even in this neighborhood the gatekeepers prefer Sonny's, but I'm happy that I checked out Campo's rather than traveling great distances in pursuit of indie cred. read more

Best Philly cheesesteak in Philly! Friendliest staff and a perfect old town Philly vibe atmosphere.

Wow was this delicious or what. I never knew a morning cheesesteak was something I'd been missing from my life, but thankfully campo's fixed that in the best way possible. I got The Works which is a cheesesteak + onions, mushrooms, and peppers and my oh my was it the right choice. Whether youre on a cheesesteak tour or just want one that hits the perfect way, do yourself a favor and try this one. read more

A nice spot down the street from my hotel. It had a good amount of seating options for such a small place but it was slightly cramped due to that. The lady at the register was very polite and attentive. The food came out really fast too even though there were a lot of people there! I got the works cheesesteak and a cannoli. The sandwich was a good portion size, not flavorful though. I'm not sure if I should expect more or not as I have not tried many cheesesteaks. The cannoli was good. I would recommend for a good sweet treat after the meal. read more

This is a review for Campo's at Citizen Bank Park. Ordered a cheesesteak with provolone with fried onions. Had to open it up and search to find the onions, hardly any. Mostly I stopped eating to take a look at why there was no flavor. Meat was dry. Bun was good but it was more bun than meat/onions/cheese. Service was fast and courteous. Perhaps it's just the ballpark version of Campo's that was so underwhelming. read more

We spent the day at the Shrines in Philadelphia ... with lunch delivered at the Saint John Neumann Shrine at 5th and Girard ..

We would absolutely order from Campo's again .. timely .. tasty and perfect !!! Thank you Mia for everything and to the delivery driver !!!! You guys are THE BEST !!! read more

Cute restaurant in old city with homey vibes. I ordered a cheesesteak with fried onions and it came out in like 30 seconds. Service was super nice & quick. Cheesesteak was disappointing. It was thin and not very full compared to other cheesesteaks I've had. The steak was slightly dry and it tasted unseasoned. It wasn't very cheesy and the onions were slightly raw. Not good value considering the price. I would honestly just consider going to Sonny's or somewhere else. read more

Delicious! I've gotten a gluten free cheesesteak delivered to my hotel on two different occasions as Campo's caters to those with gluten allergies/celiac and haven't been disappointed. They allow notes in DoorDash which is super helpful so you can note the allergy, and the order has GF printed on it. The rolls they use are soft and don't crumble!!! A great sandwich and a great! read more

I was recommended this restaurant by a tour guide when I asked where to get an authentic Philly cheesesteak.

But does not have the authentic cheesesteak. read more

I spent the weekend trying all the cheesesteak restaurants I could fit in, and this was by far the best!!

So this place is recommended by the locals. They tell us to stay away from the famous two cheesesteak places (one in the Rocky movie). This is a local family owned and operated small business that has been around in "Old Town" Philadelphia. The service is personal and the cashier asked if we wanted to add a side of macaroni salad or coleslaw made fresh by "my mom". Sold us as we live supporting family owned and operated small businesses. Cashier asked," Will you be paying with cash or card? Cash is cheaper." So bring your cash and save a little money! There was a decent amount of meat in our sandwich and the meat was moist so presumably freshly cooked! Surprisingly, the cheese whiz was delicious on the cheesesteak! read more

As a Philadelphian growing up on Geno's and Pat's moving out of Philly over 20 years ago... I always gotta get a cheesesteak when we visit. This time was able to try Campo's. Love the little cozy atmosphere with little bit of seating inside. And food came out fast and hit the mark as always with a good quality cheesesteak! Good food but guess for me customer service was bit lacking as cashier seems a bit cranky and didn't even wanna crack a smile for nothing but overall, maybe we all have a bad day and nothing against her at all.... Overall food was good as it looked and hit the spot! read more

Great cheesesteaks! Family owned and operated, homemade side salads to die for. We had a short chat with the granddaughter of the man who started it all and opened up shop. Proudly selling her wares and providing friendly, quick but not rushed service. This place was recommended by a born and bred local! She did not lead us astray Thrilled that these guys will ship anywhere! I see a mail order in our future. read more

Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks - The Mush. Cheesesteak with mushrooms, no onions. - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Was walking around Super Bowl Sunday starving trying to find something for lunch before we went back to get ready for the game. We saw the fleur de lis on the sign out front and new that it was a "sign" to eat their. And obviously since the Eagles went on to win in New Orleans that this place is a good luck charm. Cheesteak was good not great and could have been a little bigger. Price was good but we like to split food and this was a little on the skimpy side. Very nice owners holding it down for walk ins while also filling large superbowl catering orders. The girl kept trying to sell us on homemade Mac and potato salad‍ read more

Try out Campos for the first time yesterday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious cheesesteak they serve! Being a south Philly native I had my doubts about Campos, but I very much enjoyed the Cheesesteak. The bread was very good, the steak was tasty and the Cooper Sharp pulled it all together! Would definitely recommend Campos to anyone looking for a delicious cheesesteak in old city. Also the service at the restaurant was lovely and they do have seating if you're looking to dine in! Check this spot out and let me know what you think! read more

So I took a little shit from locals for not expanding my cheesesteak journey...here we go! Definitely was a different vibe than Pat's but one that was very very cool. Sandwich was delicious and homemade sides (shout out to mom!) were amazing. Large patio, quick service and hospitable staff. Bread was super tasty, meat was flavorful and tender, peppers and onions could use some work but still way yummy. Highly recommend. read more

Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Before we came to Philadelphia, I did my research for the best cheesesteaks and which places were highly recommended. I had heard several locals who stated to stay away from the popular 2, such as Genos, and I can't recall the other. I also had read that any place in Philly has great cheesesteaks. I wanted to try one that is supposed to be at a pizza place, but it appeared to be closed, not sure for the holiday or for good. I found Campos during our second day in Philly while walking down Market. Tried to ask the police officers that were across the street, and although they hadn't been to Campos, they informed me that it's constantly busy. We figured we would give it a try, and I also had read good reviews that convinced me. I am extremely pleased with our decision. This has been a Philly staple since 1947. It is right in Old City, and the building is a bit old and small, back when the crowds coming in for a cheesesteak could be better balanced. The tiny restaurant now has an elbow to elbow dining and some tables out front. We tried to sit inside, but either their A/C broke or they didn't have one. During a 91-degree hot dog day, my husband felt that an outside table would be best because at least there was fresh air circulating. The only problem was that the table we were fortunate enough to get was right near the outside menu, displayed right above my head near the entry. As a note to all, please be aware if there's a menu near an outdoor table where someone is eating and practice consideration. This restaurant has menus inside as well. This wasn't our first choice for a Fourth of July feast, but for lunch, after visiting the hall where our Independence was declared, I would say that this hit our bellies quite well. It was delicious and, in fact, the best cheesesteak we've ever had. I normally add horseradish sauce to my cheesesteak, but this was good as it was served with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and aged provolone. The cheery on top was the side of potato salad that I ordered for my husband and I to share. He had to hold down the only table that was available in the restaurant while I waited in a long line. The lady at the counter told me that her mother-in-law made the potato salad fresh daily and did it ever taste O' so fresh. Exquisite potato salad for the 4th. The best I've had on the 4th in a long time. That mother-in-law has a good daughter-in-law who really delivers assurance that the potato salad is fresh and tasty. I took pictures of our sandwich and potato salad, and I can't tell you what was inside the potato salad because we ate it quickly. If this tells you anything. Campos cheesesteaks may be a good enough reason to drive to Philly, to be honest. read more

I ate at Campos yesterday and had a Philly cheesesteak called the Works, it had mushrooms on onions. I assume hot peppers, cause something gave me indigestion, but wasn't loaded with a lot of that just a little bit of each. My friend had the vegetarian version of that which included the impossible meat option, which we appreciated the vegetarian options that they had and enabled us to eat there and she said it was really good. My only complaint was it was expensive as hell $19 for a cheesesteak with impossible vegetarian option and $16 for my cheesesteak. Well expensive for my taste... I didn't like the indigestion from something that was on the sandwich and the sodas were $3.90 and that really pissed me off that it was so expensive for them. So overall the food was pretty good but it was $48 for two people to have a sandwich and a drink, probably not gonna choose them again because of that. read more

This was theeeee worst Philly cheesesteak I have ever had in MY LIFE!!! And of all areas it had to be in philly !! I had great Phillies in NYC/ Chicago / Philly . But this just disappointed me on the first day in philly. Zero flavor just the taste of cheese , barely any cheese at that, $$4 dollar gluten free bun along with the stake came out to like 16 or so per . And we Got 2 of these. Not only was it a waste of hard earned money , but atleast give the money worth of it. It was not over flowing like they always are meat falling out the bread. Just really disappointing. And the only reason we came is due to it having the gluten free option . Never again!! I was really close to coming to The front and asking for my Money back but I was So Dang hungry . People there are so many more good ones out there don't come Here read more
