campione's taste of chicago

just like home...... was at campione's yesterday for my chicago dog fix. it's the only place in tennessee i know of where you can get an authentic chicago sandwich. as a former chicagoan, it's like eating at my favorite sandwich shop back home. food is great, always a friendly place, and the owners are the best! they go out of their way to make their customer's happy. there are many places that offer "chicago style" sandwiches, but none as good as campione's. probably because the owner's are from chicago!

tasty is the best way to describe the food. very welcoming staff. loved it.

yummy!. campione's is gallatin's best kept secret. i came across this little gem by way of an ad in the local paper. awesome is all i can say. as someone who has lived all over this great country, i have had the pleasure of eating in chicago and campione's is the real deal. the food is quite simply, made with love. the cannoli's would make your italian grandmother cry. the italian beef samich is to die for and their hot dog's take you right back to the windy city. my children loved their pasta and chicage puffs. campione's is very clean and the kid's loved watching the well placed tv while we enjoyed the fest laid out before us. all i say is that we will be back and i personally can not wait to try one of the mouthwatering cakes. well done!!!!!!!!!!

best fries ever!. we've been eating at campione's since it opened and without a doubt their fries are the best we've ever tasted. krinkle cut nice and crispy with the right touch of salt and pepper. the rest of their food is great too--italian beef, chi-town dogs and sausage...the list goes the staff is friendly. this place is a gem. miracle ford loves campione's!!!

absolutly to die for!!!!. wow! i will never eat any where else for as long as i live. the food is truly authentic and the staff is all family. the place is spotless and everyone is well taken care of. this family treats everyone that comes in better than most treat their friends. they are warm and inviting with a strong beauty gene ;-). they even allow anyone to have rule over the remote to their 42 inch lg as you enjoy home made sauce and meatballs that only true italians could ever produce. i even saw one guy ask for sauce in a cup so he could just drink it?! the italian beef is to die for, and they've got true chicago style hot dogs complete with the poppy seed bun and creepy lime green chicago relish. everything (i mean everything) is brought in from the windy city, other than what they make. i would know because i recently moved to the area only six years ago. i definitely feel at home with chicago memorabilia all over the walls and the smell of fresh fontinini sausages and brat's on the grill with a fresh scoop of the best fries you will ever eat. this is place is completely family friendly and unique. everyone must go no matter how far away you might be, because they literally save you the 500 mile trip to chicago. it is that good, trust me. but, save room for desert! their canolli's, cheese cake, and home made unique cakes are absolutely the best you will ever have.

the food made us so sick. i can’t believe the place is still in business with what they are serving to people.

say "camp-ee-own-eez"!. consistently great.
free wifi access.
hosts/owners with a personality! (eek!)
the only place we all agree on every time!

update: the bratwursts are great, too! (not all chunky/gristly like brats usually are in the south) ;^/

our little family loves campione's! the dogs are my wife and kids' choice, and they are picky about food; maybe the other folks who whined about the hotdogs are not used to "yankee"/old-fashioned 'dogs which tend to have more "bite"; i, personally, avoid most hotdogs; anyway i found the roast beef with mozz a winner. i get a half "samitch" (which is not printed on the menu but is on the wall menu there) and it barely leaves room for a cannolu (cannoli, singular, who knew). the fries are the best i've ever eaten. i usually avoid fries, too, they just never taste good enough to warrant the fat grams, but i cannot help eating a half (large) order here. back to the cannoli: they are filled to order so the shell is crisp like it should be (but never is elsewhere) and the filling is about perfect (needs more candied orange peel and pistachios imho). my only complaint is that it's a bit too expensive for us to stop there every time the kids suggest it - not really because it's too pricey, but because we must get the $3 canolli (x4) and cokes (to cut the grease, every cheap eats expert knows coke is like dawn, except it gets grease out of your _colon_).
re: (reviewer) sushi nut's complaints; 1) i agree with his/her parenting policy regarding avoidance of kids' tv, and the disney channel experience would've made me mad too; but i have never seen anything but sports and cnn on the hd tvs there. i'm sure if one asked they'd at least turn it down, and these people are among the few who posses the required tact to take disney from children and leave the kids smiling!
2). i too sometimes have the campiones too-full-dummy-tummy ache from the rich food, but just take this as an affirmation of your normal (i.e., usually healthy) diet!
hey i just thought of campione's new slogan: you want the food? huh? you can't handle the food!

real italian beef. really enjoied the family atmosphere and great food.

i love visiting chicago. and i'm a firefighter, so we know good food. haha. this is the real taste of chi-town. unbelievably great is putting it mildly. everything is authentic. from the food & decor all the way up to the awesome owners. real down-to-earth type people. i took one bite of the combination beef and sausage sandwich and it took me right back to the windy city. if you want to taste chicago without the 9 hour drive up i-65, this is your place. thanks, and i'll definitely be back soon and often.

yesterday was my first time at campione's and it was great! love the food, the atmosphere, and the people. i'll be back with friends

a true must try !. food is fabulous ! owners are a delight ! my husband and i found ourselves returning just so we could try everything on the menu. campione's is passionate about the quality of their ingredients and products, it shows, delicious.

real chicago. authentic chicago restaurant. i am from the windy city and this place is real. great, no, amazing italian beef. they use viena beef. daily italian specials are good too. nice atmosphere and friendly owner and staff. if you like this type of food, you'll love this place. oh, try the desert...terrific cannoli.

the real deal

food is amazing and staff is awesome!!! loved it! we will definitely come back!

right under my nose. every now and then i want to smack myself.

this little gem has been literally under my nose for several years now, as i work less than a mile away. how i managed to never go in until today is beyond me.

anyway, i will repeat the comments of other reviewers. nice family that actually cares about what they do, good value for the money, and an awesome italian beef "sammich".

my waistline (let alone cholesterol level) did not need to know about campione's. oh well.
