Simply, the best steak sandwich in Rochester. The Steak Bomber is gigantic and delicious. Go, eat, indulge!

This was my first time here. If I hadn't looked at it online before I went, I probably would have driven right by. Look out for their sign. It is a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The paper menus they have on the wall has more info than the menu boards that they have. I am vegetarian, so I just wanted a cheese sub. I got cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, and a side of macaroni salad. I got a regular, and it was huge! It was reasonably priced, and it was ready fast. The sub was really good! Good bread, good cheese, and good mayo. I'd definitely eat one again, and like I said, the regular size was a lot of food. The macaroni salad wasn't my favorite, but it was ok. I prefer a creamier sauce on it, but it was fine.. I just wouldn't get it again. If you like subs, it's definitely worth a stop here. I would get it to go, but there is plenty of seating, The TV was showing it's age, lol, but I'm more concerned about the food than what TV they have. And they had pictures on the wall from when Man vs Food was there, which I didn't know before I went. That's pretty cool.

Visiting my daughter in Rochester and decided to stop in this place and get a sandwich. Was the best decision I've ever made! Since being up in New York all the Takeaway has been horrible and disappointing as if people have been giving you their leftovers. Walked in this old school joint and had the best sandwich I've had in a really really long time. My son had the haddock plate and it was huge! I couldn't even eat half my sandwich. The guy running the place is the classic consummate courteous old school gentleman Please support your local businesses and make sure that they are surviving during this 2020 COVID-19. We wouldn't let want to let a place like this go out of business. You will not to find another one like it. Do yourself a big favor and get there!

What ever you do don't come here with anything but a big appetite! I got a regular steak and cheese and could not finish it. They have a gigantic menu with almost anything you could want. This is one of those places you must just check out for yourself. Enjoy!!

I had a few hungry people with me at the University of Rochester the other night. I offered to buy them dinner to go since they were heading to a hotel and I wasn't. I remembered the old standby Campi's "where sandwich is king"! I used to go here in college and have been back just once about 5 years ago- honestly it is kind of a step back in time because the place hasn't changed that much. The best thing about that is the food is plentiful and still great. They all got steak sandwiches- one of the was the Bomber- made on about a 10" round roll- it's huge! They ordered with hot peppers , onions and meat hot sauce. Delicious and enough for 2 meals. They also make "sloppy plates" like a garbage plate , lots of fried goodies like clams and fish fries, etc. Subs, hots, wings- you name it- they have it! And the mother/daughter team of "Princess" on the grill and "little Princess" on the cash register were delightful. I'd recommend Campis if you are hungry for this type of food - it's still the same as it ever was!

Not sure why people say this place has gone down hill...Even my mom says it's not like it was back in the day. Well i never tried this place in the 80's, so i have nothing to compare the present to. All i know is from what i have had...and what i've had is really good. The Steak Bomber. The Original on the Round bread....So good and so unique. I don't really know of any other place around here who has that bread. I've had round italian bread before from various bakeries..but it doesn't taste like the round bread at Campi's. It really makes the steak bomber. I know some have said the bread is not what it used to be...and that may be true. To me though it's what keeps me coming back. The Steak is the real deal too...None of that steakum crap. Only thing i can think of is why people might have gave this place a bad review is they didnt pay for the extras that they usually get for "free" at other places where they go for their steak sub. Even though the steak bomber here is 8.50...it's more like 11 dollars when you add Cheese, Mushrooms, And meat hotsauce or some other kind of sauce. And i am ok with that, because i expect to pay somewhere in the ball park of 10 dollars for a Large Steak Sub. If there is a word of caution...I would say Thier steak Bomber can get pretty salty(depending how you order yours). Also greasy too...but to me a steak sub(bomber) should be greasy.

The guys working here had a crush on me, either that or they were just a little "Campi" and flirty, and either way, I have to admit, it turned me on. Got the proverbial juices flowing. Got me really hot and wet. I could pretty much taste the salt. Oh wait, I stopped talking about my experience with the server and switched over to the sandwich. The Steak Bomber sandwich is very hot, very wet, very juicy, very bad for you, and very salty. Unfortunately, despite it having all the aforementioned things going for it, which would usually lead to a 5/5 rating from me since I love that sh**, I'm only giving it a four. The sauce was a bit sweet, the bread was just a bit *too* drenched and soggy, and there was something missing... other than my underwear, class, and respectable language, I mean. You can get it Campi's Style or not... I'm not sure what the difference is. They both look wet as hell to me. It might be that Campi's style has extra stuff on it, extra Italian sauce... you'll have to ask them. The price was good... bargain basement $5-ish for a pretty big hunk of meat juice. Sort of like the Turkish Bathhouses of San Francisco back in the early 1970s. But that's another story. It's a Rochester institution that some 585-ers haven't tried, so if you haven't, stop by and see if you like it, then have a coronary.

What Campi's lacks in charm, well, it lacks in charm. Virtually unchanged since the 70's, they have made a business out of supplying Rochesterians with Bomber steak sandwiches and Mama burgers. Not to be out done by the plate houses, they also make a "Sloppy Plate" that stands up tot he best of them. You won't be impressed with the decor, nor will you want to take a date there (unless you're on the "down low"). Still, they deliver massive amounts of beefy food for not much $$. If your tastes are in that zone, you will not be disappointed!

Finally made it to Campis. I know Fatam Richman stopped here, but he's never quite been the purveyor of the best restaurants in the cities he's been in. Quite frankly, with all the places Rochester had to offer, I'm not sure why Campis was chosen. Went with their "signature dish," the steak bomber. The meat itself was very flavorful. Decent portion for the price. I'm sorry, but the round "bun" they used really downgraded the sandwich. It was too flat, not airy, and tasteless. Very, very dry. Rochester has at least 3 places (martusciello, petrillo, dipaulo) that make amazing breads for sandwiches, subs, burgers, etc. that make amazing items that would put this sandwich over the top. The decor inside was extremely outdated, although I doubt many people ever eat inside. It smelled like a grandparents basement in the dining area. Not sure if I would ever return. The meat was excellent, but not all the ducks were in a row for the mind blowing sandwich that they COULD have here.
