My go to spot for sandwiches. The line is always long regardless of what time I come here. I call ahead of time now and it's ready in the time they promise (just go straight to the register). The champ and chicken club are my favorite. I usually order the large, and half of the sandwich pretty much gets me full. They sandwiches are fresh and packed with meat and soo tasty. I really do hate their parking lot, its so tiny with space for maybe 7 cars if u cram it all in. If u do manage to find a spot in there, there is only one little ramp to come in and out. So try to find street parking if you can. read more

My Hero - The champ - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Awesome hero sandwich spot. Their wraps are amazing too. Nice sized and delicious wraps for $9.

I have been coming here for years and I have never had a complaint but after today i am no longer returning. I am completely disgusted after seeing a worker make my food with out gloves on. He has a bandaid on his finger and also his ring finger dried up blood. He is the old man that works there with glasses. Every other employee uses gloves besides him. He refused to make me another sandwich and did not refund my money .. I won't be coming back. read more

Absolutely love this place! You can't go wrong with any sandwich you pick! The hero's are HUGE and worth every penny! The staff is great too! read more

Holy chicken club. It's out of the way, and so totally will travel for it. Simple, straight to the point, call and order it. Going to be trying their other things soon. I did remove the bacon this time and liked it a lot more, it's preference! Goooo! Try it! read more

So I'm getting busy signals as usual at 1pm, starving with nothing at home in fridge and finally get through after 5 minutes repeating and order Champ with extra meat knowing from previous order they've raised prices significantly and accepted it's $13 for lg. and $2 add. for extra meat $15 for big hero and figuring I'll eat half and save other half for tomorrow's lunch, go, order ready, get home and open hero and low and behold no prosciuttino just ham cappy, salami lettuce, tomato and onion, not even extra meat like I ordered and was charged for, but even on paper just says Champ no extra meat, really Now calling them would only get me to told bring it back and that ain't happening, like I said starving and the last time ordering my favorite Large Roast Beef Melt on Garlic bread extra meat, it also not only came regular nothing extra, the roast beef also $15, was so overcooked and dry it was nearly inedible except for the fact that the butter on the garlic kept it barely tolerable though if I was there I would have asked for my money back My Hero has a huge following, reputation and I've been coming here for about 18 years as do my children, but I can tell you from my recent experiences I'm done and next time starving or not I'm heading to North Shore Farms, getting yes expensive Boarshead and excellent semolina Italian that I'll also be paying through the nose for, but at least I know what I'm getting...business lost, covid or no covid, inflation or no inflation it's BS read more

I have ordered catering from them and it was great. Visiting them to buy a sandwich is a very different story. I would say if your from Hempstead and Uniondale stay on your side of town and don't visit them. I'm not sure but I would say that they don't want my kind in their business read more

Finally tried my hero, the food has been delicious!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken club hero before going into the hospital before having my second baby and I was happily full until I delivered in the middle of that night read more

This is the place. I am not from the area and have heard how great this place is. We went once before, but they were closed. So today was the day. First of all, parking is hard. The Carvel is known for towing, so don't park there. Once you find a spot, you can find your spot on the line. We ordered and waited for our sandwiches to be made. Paid and headed home to eat them. I had the Chicken Cutlet Supreme, which is a cutlet, lettuce, tomato, onions, mozzarella and roasted peppers. She had the Chicken Cutlet Club. We each had half of each. The chicken cutlet was crisp and juicy. Bread was soft. If I had to choose, I might lean for the club. Both were great. Best deli I have been to in a long time. Highly recommend the wait. Also, you can call ahead to save some of the wait. Find out why people are standing outside. read more

Great food great service! Definitely will order again ! Always satisfied with tips place !

Fat guys know their sandwiches. When that fat man is Mr. Jon Gabrus (no H in Jon or Gabrus), of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast fame, you don't even hesitate. You take intern Gino's advice and head out to Jerusalem Avenue, ASAP, to try one of these delectable sandwiches. Jon always talks about how good the chicken club is, with #NOTOMATO, but you know what? I like tomatoes! So I got a large Chicken Club with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and my friend got the Champ, with lettuce tomatoes, and mayo, and we were able to trade halves and enjoy the best of both worlds. The first thing I noticed about the food is that the bread was really good. Nice and soft, and really added a nice base flavor to the meat. Then with the Champ, the quality of the meats that they use is second to none. There was so much flavor in what would otherwise be a typical Italian sub/hero. As for the chicken club, the chicken cutlets were pounded flat, tender, and well seasoned with breadcrumbs. The bacon maybe could have been a little crispier, but I suppose I should have asked for the bacon to be cooked well done. Both sandwiches were awesome and I don't know which one I liked better. The chicken club was nice since it was a hot sandwich, but the Champ was probably the best Italian sub I've had in a very long time. Now I have to go back and try another one of my favorite sandwiches, the chicken parm hero! Just remember, they're closed on Sunday and Monday, and they take CASH ONLY! Happy eating! read more

If you don't like this place then then something isn't right. My siblings and myself have been getting the best chicken cutlet hero's on the planet for over 30+ years. Always amazing and never disappoints. read more

Me and my family have been going here for over 25 years. As good now as it was 25 years ago!

Don't even get me started about how awesome My Hero is. If you live in the area you already know. They make the best hero's around. You won't find anyplace better than this! I usually order the champ which is basically an Italian hero! That is my favorite. I've been a customer all of my life. It's awesome and well worth going! read more

I think I speak for all frail-bodied bisexual Long Island man when I say that My Hero serves up some of the best fucking sandwiches you've ever had the pleasure of putting inside your fuckin pie hole. Me, and my buddies taking the Nassau Community College radio internship would stay after class in the radio station recording 80s synthpop radio shows, as well blasting each other's assholes mercilessly with Roman candles. We would obviously need a break every three hours or so and you bet we would make our way over to My Hero, and I would shove (my favorite sandwich) The Champ, (with a grape soda) down my big bi-sexual gullet. Also, a great place to drop a steaming, hot deuce in the ladies room. It's 2017 assholes. Get used to it. LONG LIVE MY HERO! Sound Speeds, -Gino The Intern read more

My husband and I invited our family and friends over for our house warming party. We ordered 3 two foot hero's (buffalo chicken, eggplant & all American) and a 4 foot grilled chicken roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella. We were scared we were going to have left overs for days...but they were a hit! Everyone can't stop ranting and raving over how yummy and fresh the hero's were. Super yummy and a perfect addition to a get together! read more

Perfect price point with great fresh heros, too bad they are not open Sundays but everyone deserves a day off. I recomend catereing hero platters from them the guests all like the works. read more

Hands down best chicken finger hero around, I have been coming here for over 15 years, nothing else like it. Park on the street and walk

The Champ and Club were phenomenal! The ingredients were fresh and bread was soft yet firm enough to withstand the weight of the meat and toppings. Macaroni salad tasted homemade without being doused in excessive mayonnaise. Good service as well - look forward to coming back! read more

This place definitely lived up to they hype! The sandwiches are massive and the prices are low considering how much food you get. We ordered one sandwich with bacon and chicken cutlets and the other was a turkey hero. Both huge and great! read more

Old school deli, sandwich shop. They are known for their chicken cutlets which i heard the owner tell a customer they make fresh all day long. I stopped in after the lunch hour and ordered one of the most delicious chicken parm heroes of my life. Served piping hot wrapped in aluminium foil, with just the right amount of sauce and mozzarella. As i left, around 2:30pm, the line was out the door. A little comic relief: the huge banner outside warning customers not to park in the adjacent Carvel lot because "he will have you towed". read more

When I get married, I want to have My Hero cater the whole thing. This place has the most amazing cutlets, and it is home to the best meatball hero and macaroni salad I have ever eaten. I've been coming here for 15 years (sometimes more than once a week) and have never had a bad experience. read more

Probably the best spot on the island for a sandwich. For $10 you get a HUGE sandwich. Most of the time I eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner. The variety is great and I haven't been disappointed yet. My ONLY complaint is there's always a long wait. Just keep that in mind because if you go their for lunch, between waiting on line then having your sandwich made, you'll be there for at least 20min to a half hour. read more

My home town deli that is the Mecca of heroes in Nassau county! It's tradition, it's family, it's the way heroes are supposed to be. No compromise! My hero is flawless, and in your face great! Been going there since I was a kid, and one of the best things besides the sandwiches is the decor in that place. Like being in the ultimate man cave! They are one with the community and I think that's what makes them so special. They are like the cool uncle that sneaks you a beer when your a kid. Go to my hero if you haven't ( if you haven't I don't know what your eating). read more

this is where you can taste one of long islands best heroes. small spot but big quality my go to on my breaks

The absolute best sandwiches!!! Just bring cash as they don't accept debit or credit cards.

On top of a 45 minute wait for two sandwiches I ordered a pastrami Swiss and mayo.. The guy comes back and tells me I'm sorry I put mustard on your sandwich or would you like it... I told him no I do not like mustard he said OHh let me make you another one then very Upset he had to make another sandwich made me wait another 15 minutes I get home and he tried to scrape the mustard off of the bread and slap mayo on it... not very professional... and not the cleanest place in the world!! read more

My Hero - Disgusting and disappointed! - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Sandwich was OK. Nothing special. Not sure what all the fuss is about. They don't use Hellman's Mayo so took one star for that.

Hands down the best sandwich I have ever had in my entire life. Moved to NC recently and my husband (who is not even from Long Island) makes me bring him home my hero chicken clubs in my carry on. Amazing eggplant parmigiana too and the best hero bread you will ever eat. Yes the line is long, yes its cash only, yes they are only ties-sat, and yes they close for 3 -4 weeks every summer- but nothing could make me love my hero less. Its a part of my entire childhood and I hope to eat chicken clubs till I die. read more

Great local spot for a hero chicken club with bacon really good plus terrific spot for catering hero's always on point super consistent sometimes the line a little long if you have time must do. read more

Sacred My Hero! My childhood mecca! The chicken club is the best sandwich on Long Island. Period. Delicious chicken cutlet, homemade mayonnaise that defies explanation, the perfect amount of perfectly crisp bacon, fresh fixings - anyone who says this isn't the best sandwich around is either (1) a spiteful human being who owns a competing deli, and/or (2) someone whose opinion regarding food should be disregarded entirely. The champ, chicken parm, and the antipasto salad are also excellent. Yes, if you go there during the lunch or dinner rush, you will wait. But the wait is worth it and never in my life, having gone here for over 20 years, have I been disappointed in the quality of the food. Throughout high school, my friends and I came here every single week for lunch, without fail. The faces have changed over the years, but the quality and charm of this little eat-in deli is top-notch. My Hero is more than just a deli; it's where people from Merrick and Bellmore can come together and be as one. My Hero will always hold a special place in my heart, and in my stomach! All hail My Hero! Hail!! Hail!!! Hail!!!! read more

Great food and customer relations. Ordered food and because of the COVID-19 precautions we waited outside for our takeout order and I accidentally left my phone on the table when we left. Called up and Dominick said that they had found the phone. Grateful for such thoughtfulness as to bring it inside and wait for someone to claim it. Did I mention great food. Will be back for sure. read more

Friendly people good food . Family owned and run. Very kind and personable peeps . They makes 'eggs all day' too!!!!!

I've lived 1/4 mile away from My Hero and only recently decided to try it. Wow! The Champ was wonderful! The sandwich was stacked with meats, fresh and delicious. The prices are incredibly reasonable. The staff is friendly and courteous. The lines are sometimes long. But, that's the price I'm willing to pay for great food and terrific prices. read more

Man I love this deli! Where else are you going to find a huge quality hero that you can't finish for 8 bucks? My favorite my hero is a roast beef with the works add mayo. Alway ask for the works. It consists of lettuce, tomato, onion, salt, pepper, oregano, oil and vinegar. You won't be disappointed. There seems to always be a line out the door no matter the day or season so your best bet is to call ahead. Just be warned they usually take the phone off the hook around lunch time when it's really busy. read more

I am fighting back tears writing this review. I have never been spoken to like that before in my life. I called to place an order for multiple heroes in hopes of bringing them to a block party. The gentleman on the phone was condescending, aggressive, told me to "stop talking," when I was trying to ask questions about how they might be able to help me. Told me he didn't have time to cut the sandwiches up and asked why I couldn't do it myself. Talked me through "walking into the kitchen, getting a knife, slicing them"...in such a degrading and belittling tone like I was a child. I told him I'd be withdrawing my order because I couldn't tolerate being spoken to like this. I'm angry that I couldn't find braver words in the moment to defend myself and that I allowed him to make me feel so small. If a coworker/boss heard him, I would hope they would have acted on the spot. It truly bordered verbal abuse. I grew up in Bellmore and have long frequented My Hero. It's a family staple. I will gladly never eat a sandwich there again and tell everyone I know that they do not deserve our business anymore. Side note: I have never written a bad review of a business before, it's not my style. This was something else, and a prime example of what's wrong with entitled white men in America. read more

Delicious generous size sandwich was amazing. First time here and it won't me my last you know this place is a good sign when there is a line out the door! But don't worry it moves fast they got it down with their service! I got works with my italian hero and i'm so glad i went for the large instead of small i couldn't finish it all in one sitting but i was craving the sandwich the next day and was just as good. My girlfriend got a plain turkey with mayo and she was like I don't get it why is my plain sandwich so good what do they do differently?!?! She went back there 3 days later to get another one! totally recommend this place! read more

I moved to N. Bellmore back in April from Queens, LOVE this place, the electricians that did work on my house turned me onto it and I can't STOP GOING BACK! flounder parm? wha? huh? AWESOME, who knew? the champ is amazing, the chicken club is amazing, the pasta salad is amazing there is nothing not to love here, I even love that you have to wait on a huge line if you're brave enough to go at lunchtime, especially when people 'not in the know' turn away when they see the line, suckers! read more

This place is so delish. HUGE sammies and tons of yummy sauce and cheese. I've only been here twice- both times I've gotten the eggplant parm sammy and also tried a bite of my daughter's meatball sammy. Damn, son. Bring cash (they don't accept credit), eat here- you won't regret it. read more
