I've lived in the Philly area now for about 10 years. In that time, I've eaten a LOT of cheesesteaks from various places in the city and the suburbs. Some have been amazing, some have been eh. However, eating at Campo's this past weekend set a new standard for bad. In my entire life, I never ate such a disgusting cheesesteak.
We ate at the location in Old City at 214 Market Street. As soon as I bit into the first bite, I could just tell this was not going to be a good meal. The meat was very tough and chewy. When you think of a dog trying to rip apart a piece of raw meat, that is what chewing this cheesesteak was like. After a few bites, I just couldn't eat anymore.
There are places to get cheesesteaks practically everywhere in Philly and the surrounding area. For any locals or visitors to the area, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. In the city, I'd recommend Jim's or Jon's on South Street. In the suburbs, I find Pudge's to be the best. Anywhere though is better than Campo's.
