You more than get your moneys worth here! The quality is great, and so is the quantity. The sandwiches are huge! And super tasty!

Hidden gem in the neighborhood ! Fresh bread and ingredients. I don’t usually go for sandwiches if I can avoid it but I loved the chicken cutlets! Will come back!

Wow. Really pleased with this. Split a chicken parmigiana hero. Delicious. Absolutely must split with someone or be really hungry. Excellent quality chicken, great tasting sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. I wish the bread was a tad better (got whole wheat), but was definitely fresh - just didn’t live up to rest of sandwich. Will try the other bread the next time. Go hungry and enjoy. Note that there is NO seating inside or out.

I normally don't write reviews, but could not hold my tongue after my last experience here. Before the recent management change / renovation, I loved Hungry Hero's sandwiches and atmosphere (I live right around the block and came here very often). In my most recent visit today (post-renovations), I witnessed the manager (who is likely the owner) talk down at his worker in a very uncomfortable and unacceptable way. I will not let my money go to businesses (even if the food is good) that do not treat their workers with respect (at the minimum), unless I see a substantial change.

Wowzers! Ordered 8 sandwiches online and although it did take a bit longer than was quoted online for pick up time it was so worth the short wait. Everyone loved their sandwiches, so big you can make two meals or share and the workers were working so hard. Excellent!

My favorite sandwich shop on the UES - super large hero, great quality every time. Met the owner tonight, very personable. So glad to see it renovated and back up this fall.
