    All American

    Just recently changed size of hero's used for sandwich's so now you get about half the amount of food on your sandwich for the same price. I got an all American today, but I normally get the chicken club, and a chicken cutlet would not even fit on a hero this size. I also loved the old heros specifically because of how soft the bread was. Now the bread is hard.

    The champ

    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

    The Champ with 'the works' :)

    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.

    I've been coming to My Hero Deli for years and was a huge fan of the previous owners, Dominic and Anthony. They created something really special, and I'm happy to say the new owners, Chris and his partner, have totally kept that spirit alive. They're super hands-on and really care about the place. The food is just as amazing as ever actually, maybe even better. Everything is super fresh, the sandwiches are massive, and the prices are still really fair. The staff is great too, especially seeing familiar faces from back in the day who still know exactly how to make everything the way we all remember. The place has had a nice update, and the new kitchen setup is awesome. I think the old owners would definitely be proud of the improvements. Also love that they're open seven days a week now no more showing up on a Monday and being disappointed. This place has always been a favorite, and I'm so glad it's in such good hands.

    Chicken club hero with honey mustard
    Andrei L.

    Seems like My Hero has been a pretty big local spot for a long time and I've been wanting to try it for a while. With that in mind, I was able to finally get their heroes a few times over the past year. The place is very much a grab and go type of place that is small and cash only. A good thing I've noticed is that their prices seem to include tax. The sandwich I've been getting is the 'chicken club', which has chicken cutlet, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo ($13). I usually substitute honey mustard for the mayo though. I pretty much have nothing but good things to say about the sandwich. First off, the full size sandwich is huge - enough for 2 meals probably. And that's exactly how I like my heroes. The chicken cutlet is breaded nicely and fairly thin. They pack a lot of it on there and the bread also has been pretty fresh every time. It all comes together perfectly and definitely one of my favorite cheat meals in the rotation. The only other deli on LI that I frequent occassionally is Cherry Valley and I think the sandwich at My Hero delivers significantly more quality and quantity at the same price. So I'd give it 5 stars for the time being.

    Roasted Pork, Broccoli Rabe & Mozzarella on garlic bread
    Eva Y.

    "My Hero" has been a Hero Lovers icon for many years! The variety of hero's are endless and the new owners have been keeping up with the times and adding some trendy new varieties to their menus! However, one of my all time favorites "Roasted Pork, Broccoli Rabe with melted mozzarella" was better than before! Today was the first time I ordered it that it was not soggy from the broccoli rabe. Each ingredient was perfectly placed with symmetry. Every bite was perfection from start to finish! It was such a delight that I had to take a pic after taking my initial bite so that I could let the new owners know how much I enjoyed it! So Delicious, you gotta try it!

    Beautiful hero

    Never fails, you can always get a solid hero from this place love sandwiches and one of my favorite is the Bocachini. If you're gonna order the legend, make sure you're hungry. It's about 3 pounds of meat. It is unbelievable.

    Great sandwiches, both hot and cold. The only downside is that they are cash only and have limited seating.

    One of the best sandwich places in Nassau County. I would recommend to first timers the chicken club, the champ or the all American.

    Food isn't bad but their customer service is definitely not great at all. Doesn't seem like they care much about it either.

The Shrimp sandwich was just that, shrimp, coleslaw, bread... it's good but way better stoned! The shrimp is large and the fry on it is boss level expertise Their two sauces (sweet honey mustard and spicy cherry pepper) are really good, the dope sauce is a cheese fondue type joint that needs to be heated and gooey and melty.... Unless you're at the truck I'm sure, but I ordered delivery. Now, with the tortalini I ordered the chicken side as well as the sausage, and by the end of the night I put the scarps together and made a chicken sausage and cheese fondue that was to die for, and that science experiment blew my mind because....

Unfortunately, this review is not good at all due to the lack of class, judgment, and inadequacy of this establishment. We came here on a date night because we heard nothing but great reviews on this place. We were seated by a very unpleasant hostess who made it known she did not want to be there at all. We waited for a while for a server to come up to us to get our drink order, but that never happened. I was reluctant to leave at first, but then noticed that there was another table across from us a family of four with two kids who were having the same problem too. They waited patiently as we were, but no one was around to serve us because they were all standing at the bar being loud and goofing around. At that point I had enough and we walked out. I have now read the most recent reviews on this establishment after I left and I should have done that before we came here. A lot of unpleasant reviews have been posted for the past six months about this place. So apparently there's a reason why I had the experience I did as everyone else did recently. It's a shame because the Old reviews prior to the past couple of months were phenomenal. Oh wait you guys must be permanently closed by now as one of the other posts said. Now you should understand why. It is what it is, Right?
