The customer service was excellent!!! I ordered a chicken parm hero, and a chicken Supreme. The Supreme was very good. The chicken parm didn't taste like it was done very rubbery. I couldn't eat the Parm. Money down the drain. I'm happy with my Breast Cancer T-Shirt.

My Hero is an old school spot with old school charm, and it's a forever CLASSIC! I've been coming here for quite some time, it's basically a Long Island institution, but last night we stopped by since it's been a hot second, and the sandwiches were just as iconic as ever. We shared their famous chicken club with melted provolone (you will love that twist), and the breaded chicken cutlets, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon make this club the cult favorite that it is. (I'm all about the bacon for the crunchy, textural, flavorful contrast.) We also shared their Italian sub, aka The Champ, which is filled with Italian meats along with 'the works.' You guys, if you do anything, savor the WORKS. Their blend of shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, vinegar, and oregano is absolutely everything. (I like letting it sit for a bit so the bread gets soggy from all the oil and vinegar goodness, too.) Honestly, I could see having a BLT with 'the works' and being one happy camper, but I digress...LOL. If anyone is looking for an authentic, high quality deli, look no further than My Hero in Merrick. They are a staple through and through.

Used to go here often. Food was always great and sandwiches large. Just went back, yes they've raised prices a bit but with crazy inflation, i expected that and it's okay. Sandwiches still pretty good but wow! They are so skinny now. A large is maybe 30% smaller than it used to be. And it wasn't a fluke since I ordered 6 larges.

My favorite deli when I'm in town.You haven't had a hero until you've had a my hero hero. They're bread is my favorite hero bread anywhere and everywhere! This place is a no frills place. They seem like a old hole in a wall place, but it's part of their charm. Their menu is small but big on quality. The chicken club is the best on the island, hands down! So simple but the best flavor, best quality on the best bread. Second favorite is the champ! And they make their heroes so that nothing ends up being soggy...well unless you get one with gravy...but that's expected. They are quick to get your orders out. It is a cash establishment. But they do have an atm. They have picnic tables outside and very limited seating inside.You can park in the back or on the street. And recently they got access for customers to park in the carvel parking lot!! That huge! If you've been a long time patron, like me, then you know what a years long battle that has been haha

Best hero's around. Service is great and staff is friendly. A definite place to get hero's when in the mood for a good sandwich.

Had an amazing breakfast hero. Scrambled eggs potatoes and mozzarella?? couldn’t snap a photo I didn’t remember until I was throwing out the tinfoil wrapper.
Bomb spot that’s a neighborhood staple. Roast beef melt is always delicious. Cheese perfectly melted and such tender meat.

I've been coming here since 1996 and will keep coming as long as they're open! Great sandwiches/subs and service! I get the chicken club consistently, but the Champ is another favorite. Pick up your meal and head to a park, beach, or back to work. Not much of a dine in place because there's usually a line wrapping around the place, but there are a few tables around.

Great quality sandwiches. A little slow, but it's because they're always so busy. Worth the wait.
