First time visiting Philly and I was on the hunt to find the perfect veggie cheesesteak. Most places make it with mushroom and I'm somewhat sensitive to them, so would prefer to find places that get creative in terms of using other ingredients. I really wanted to try one made with impossible meat and found this place online. I had requested it to be made with impossible meat, provolone cheese, jalapeños, and long hot peppers. I was unable to tell them to leave the mushrooms out, but it was easy to just pick them out. I ate half in one sitting, and really enjoyed the flavors marinated together with the roll. Maybe next time, I'll try it with the sweet peppers :) I also ordered a soft pretzel but unfortunately it was neither fresh nor soft, so I took a pass on it...
Price gouging, offering bogo definitely gets you listed at the top of the results, the deal? Buy one cheesesteak at $26 and get the second one free???! Omg what value.
First time here and it was awesome. Cheesesteak was so yummy and the staff were really friendly. It's a family owned business that's been around for a long time. Casual ambiance that's great for solo dining and groups will be back.
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.
When in Philadelphia ... go to Campo's for Philly Cheese Steaks! I ordered The Works cheesesteak with mushrooms, bell peppers and provolone cheese. The line was moderate but moving for the lunchtime, but the team at Campo's was prompt, attentive and accurate with my order. The small tables in the dining area are quaint but cozy and encourage people to chat about the sights and see what people are doing next. Great for the cheesesteaks and the conversation. Highly recommend.
The cheesesteaks from here are pretty watery, and there wasn't much flavor to it. The staff who work here are not the friendliest either. They have a window that is open, which lets pigeons come into the restaurant, which is not appetizing while eating. It's also pretty small inside not a whole lot of places to sit.
I had a pleasant experience with the owner and his daughter, who were both courteous and efficient. They suggested popular sandwiches and ensured that my husband's preferences regarding vegetables were met. A little cheesecake complemented our meal, and paying with cash resulted in a lower charge. My husband and I shared sandwich which was good.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

Family owned and operated (I think). We heard about this place from a local.... Definitely worth seeking out. Huge Philly cheese steak that I split into two meals. The daughter was the cashier and super sweet. Fun upbeat place with decorative inside and plenty of outdoor seating as well. read more

Cheesesteaks were just okay. They were large, filling, and very cheesy, but they lacked seasoning and flavor. We ate inside the establishment and had our sandwiches immediately, so we expected the bread to be fresher or slightly crisp, but unfortunately it wasn't. That was a bit disappointing and would likely prevent us from returning. On the positive side, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice option. Portions are generous, but expect to pay around $18 per sandwich. 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

My wife and I are visiting from Las Vegas. We had 5 different cheesesteak restaurants. This was by far the best. They even had gluten free bread which my wife loved. That almost never happens. Family owned and operated. read more

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
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

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

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
