My favorite sub place - always fresh and delicious. Yes, I've tried all the major brands of subs - jimmy johns, subway, togos. This place beats all those places hands down! Great value as well. I hate to the cat out of the bag because it'll make their lines longer, but they're really the best place for subs. read more

This placed used to be better. Since the ownership changed it's been slowly going downhill. The remodel was nice, and the prices only went up a little, but the service is still meh. Lately their hours aren't reliable, they run out of bread, the place is dirty. They don't ever use gloves or masks. read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat no matter what your budget is. The sandwiches are great and the staff are extremely friendly! I recommend calling your order in for faster service! Also they close at 4pm so keep that in mind as well. read more

Stopped by there yesterday with a group of friends. Food was really good, the girls behind the counter were very sweet and the service was fast. It's currently being remodeled. You can tell everything looks like it's being updated. Bathroom was clean and new. I guess it's under new management. It should be really nice when they're completely finished just based on what I saw yesterday. Highly recommend. Enjoy read more

By far! The worst French dip I have ever had. Only reason why I don't give this place 1 star is because I haven't tried the other sandwiches yet so I don't want to ruin their rating to much if I've only tried 1 sandwich. Horrible read more

Really good and inexpensive sandwiches. Call for the $1.99 turkey or ham sandwiches. The chicken chipotle is really good as well but regular price, $4.99 or $5ish. read more

This is honestly one of the best Sub places that I have been to and I'm shocked that it doesn't have 5 stars. I wandered in with two friends one day randomly and we were amazed at how delicious the food was! My friend and I had ordered one of their specialty subs and the food was so good and so filling that we had to take some home! And since that day we can't stay away! Today I wandered in after class and realized that they weren't quite open but the owner actually invited me in early and served me and another gentlemen! If you're in the mood for some amazing food and some friendly staff please do yourself a favor and come here! The food is great and everyone is so friendly and they cater to all price ranges! You can go in and buy a junior sub for just 2 dollars! And of course they have subs that are a little pricier than the junior sub but you honestly get what you pay for in terms of portion size and flavor. During your stop in also try the potato salad, it's actually one of my faves. I look forward to my next trip in and I hope everyone else does too! read more

Amazing! Love this cool little place. The subs are always delicious and leave you wanting more. I've been coming here for years. You can get a jr. turkey sub for 1.69 and if you go to the high school or colleges nearby, you get a discount. Totally worth it. My absolute favorite sub shop. read more

Such a great find! I've been getting my sandwiches here for about 3 years now and it is absolutely my favorite place to go when I'm craving a good sub, and the prices are awesome too. My favorite is the turkey Jr because it's filling, bit doesn't have too much meat to make you feel sluggish, and the bread is absolutely amazing! I've tried many many different sub places and this is my go to place. So yummy the only thing I don't like is they're closed on Sundays, but other than that, 10/10 for me!! read more

My Hero Subs - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Good subs crappy service. Every time I go the girls aren't friendly. Showed up 10 min before it open and sign said open but it was closed. Then a red head said she forgot her keys and the boss wouldn't be there for another 30 min so it wouldn't open until 11a. Idk how the owner hires incompetent and irresponsible ppl but not my problem. Don't plan on going back. read more

This place was favorite inexpensive but food sandwich restaurant when I was in high and having it again after so long it still is. I go here on my way home after work. Very inexpensive and tasty! read more

I do work here. And a tip of advice, these sandwiches are mostly sold because ppl love the italian dressing and white bread. It can be a bit frustrating when dealing with people who give attitude over prices ( which are NOT bad at all) we DO have a .60 cent fee for credit transactions. We do get busy in our lunch hours!! (11:30am-1:30pm) sometimes there is a long line. Bare with us. It is a small business. Kitchen is not big. Only one cashier, one sandwich maker, & one sending or calling out orders. But Im the only one to checl reviews here!! So if any of you guys have any suggestions, questions or concers!! Msg me!! Ill sure will talk to the boss about it. :) read more

We visit my old college grounds by starting with the best sandwich shop for a college students' buck. The one sandwich I always got was the turkey bacon avocado. Still the best TBA I've ever had to this very day. There are only 2 workers so the wait may vary but it's worth it. The decor is very retro and has a bit of the "Happy Days" vibe which is always a good thing. read more

Rude employees and rude owner. Business owner knowingly breaks California Civil Code section 1748.1. When confronted with the fact that their actions contradict California law, they bar people from their business so they can continue to illegally rip off their customers. No respect for their customers and practice illegal business practices. If they knowingly skirt around laws you can only imagine how much they respect health codes. Oh, and know that their "salads" are two spoons of dressing away from being called soup. Sandwiches aren't terrible, but the place doesn't look clean. Buyer beware. read more

Decent place for a quick bite to eat. What attracted me were their prices! I like their junior sub which only cost $1.69. It's pretty small and there isn't much in there considering the price for the junior. I think it's decent if you're on a very low budget. It's a plus for me cause it fills me up, since it doesn't take a lot to fill me up. read more

I've been coming to this place my entire life and love the sandwiches but the girl who works the register needs some training. I placed a phone order so I wouldn't have to wait and somehow get stuck waiting because she doesn't know what she is doing. Then she rolls her eyes at the woman she is ringing up when she clearly can comprehend how to ring up a meal. I am a frequent patron of this place but maybe it's time to find a new employee. It wasn't even worth waiting for my sandwich today. read more

need a say more "fresh yummy sandwich made how u like it for under 2 bucks!!! great place great food, good bargain for their small sandwich (not so small) not too mention their bread is so soft! In addition they make a yummy antipasto salad for under 5 bucks! way better then any chain sandwich! read more

I have been coming here since 2011, when it was close to my job, but far from where I lived. Over the years, since leaving that job, I have always come back to My Hero's as a destination. Within the past few years, they have completely remodeled. It's always been great, but it's probably at its best now. The new owner is extremely friendly, welcoming and takes pride in his restaurant. He will always fill his customers in on new recipes they are trying and updates they are doing to the place. The sandwiches are fresh, the meat is high quality and I have never had a bad meal. They now serve beer too, which is an added bonus. Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

As I too got tricked into the hype of my hero sub's. I'm sorry peeps but I got taste buds. I wasn't expecting much but I wasn't expecting to just give my $ away either, i wanted to come out somewhat satisfied. I got a turkey grinder and it was sad. My friend ordered the antipasto salad and they too were very disappointed at how sad it was. The employees weren't bad as they were just working to get the product out. I'm good, I can at least say I've been there. read more

Where's the meat??? You definitely get what you pay for at this place! I had the turkey (if that's what that was) avocado and bacon sandwich, there were literally two of the thinnest slices of " turkey" on it! The girl at the register asked us to sit on the left side and eat because she already cleaned the right side! Are you serious!! So let me get this straight you want us to sit on the dirty side because you are trying to go home? It was 5:15, the place closes at 6:00. Between her sweeping near us while we're eating, the loud music coming from the prep area, and the two employees yelling back and forth at each other it's safe to say that was our first and last visit! read more

hm-hm-hm gooood. food: I got a #1 combo deal with a chicken parmesan. It was worth every penny. Not too much sauce, lots of melted cheesy goodness, and the bread smelled so good. So delicious. Also, they're not kidding when they say the drink is large. It should be called an extra large. Service: I don't know if they fired the girl mentioned in the reviews or people expected to be waited on hand and foot but I didn't have any problems with the service, The girl at the counter was friendly enough. This isn't a five-star restaurant or anything so I get a bit annoyed when people complain that the cashier didn't smile or seem too enthusiastic. Verdict: It's a lot of delicious bang for your buck. I'm definitely coming back. read more

The prices were pretty cheap and the sandwiches were good until I lost my appetite due to noticing small cockroaches roaming about inside (also dead ones that haven't been cleaned up). They have an 'A' rating but once you sit down you notice that it's very unclean. read more

I've tried this place before, was really impressed so I decided to try it again. Boy was I dissapointed. Ordered the 12" cheesesteak sandwich. 2 very very thin slices of "steak". The bread was good but I was expecting 3 times more meat. I will never waste my money here again which is a shame because I try to support local businesses. My boss was with me, ordered the "pastrami" and it tasted funny. Can't believe this place has been here very long at all. Update, I had to come back and rereview. Less than an hour after eating a sub here, I've still got a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm already at another place getting food. read more

Ordered the BLT, brought it home and never felt so disgusted in my life. Discovered what I really ordered was a sandwich with a bottle of mayo inside. Never coming back here again. read more

Looove their subs ...I go everytime I'm in town ..their service sucks they are rude !

I Started Going Here About A Month Ago, And It's Amazing WAY WAY WAY Better Than Subway And Cheaper. I Highly Recommend The Macaroni Salad. And GREAT Customer Services It's ALWAYS Clean. read more

Would of given 5 stars if I didn't receive such rude service. When I was placing my order the women taking it kept rolling her eyes. I ordered 10 sandwiches and was Given the number 78. When my order was called it was under a different number so when I went to pick it up I asked a girl with red hair about my order. And she told me that "I picked up the wrong number" she said it with an attitude and rolled her eyes. read more

This place used to be the BOMB!!! Don't really know what happened, maybe the original owners sold it... I used to eat here years ago and remember it being one of the best subs I ever had! Pffft not now!!! The quality of the meat SUCKS! The turkey was like a turkey jello mold or something! GROSS NEVER AGAIN!!! You are definitely not My Hero anymore..... Staff could have been a little more courteous as well. read more

Great service with good communication and yelp what's me to write more so if you read this far thank you

I would always pass this place by and see their advertisement for their $1.69 subs. So one day, I decided to finally go in there and try it. Surprisingly, the sub was good. Some of the previous reviews stated the bread is bad, but I think it's pretty good. However, you do get what you pay for. They only put like one slice of meat and th rest is lettuce, mayo, the usuals in a sub sandwich. But for a $1.69 6-inch sandwich, you really can't complain. I've tried the other subs; I had a 6-inch turkey bacon avocado and that was pretty good for $3.50. Of course, they put more meat considering it is a higher priced sandwich. In addition, I have also tried their mac and cheese. Last time I went, it was a $1.25; maybe it went up a little bit. Anyways the mac and cheese is served in a pretty big cup. You would need to add salt to it though, the mac and cheese is bland without salt. So yeah! When I come here, I usually get a 6-inch turkey sub and mac and cheese. Super cheap lunch that will fill you up. Plus, its simply just good. The establishment itself is very casual, with a lot of vintage memorabilia. Highly recommend for a good sub. read more

I love the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich here. Especially with the 10% UCR student discount, or the discount after 3:00 PM where all 12'' subs are 4.50. Comes to be about 5 bucks for a bomb sub. The club sandwich here is also really good. They tend to use a lot of mayo here, but I don't mind, you can usually request to have less mayo or none at all. Either way, they have subs to fit all your taste buds, and budgets. Definitely a place I'm gonna miss when I graduate/move from Riverside. The only downer here is that this place closes around 6...too early for most. read more

i go to UCR, and this place is literally 2 blocks away from the school and a block from the freeway, so it's very accessible when i am in a hurry to class and hungry. i always get the $1.69 cheese sub on the wheat bread. it is a good price and totally simple- a generous portion of provolone cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, and a squirt of italian dressing. the bread is always soft and chewy, the cheese is very fresh, and i love the way the veggies get with the dressing on them. i honestly come here like 3 times a week when i am in school and it never fails as being a consistent cheap place to fill my stomach before class. dont expect some fancy schmancy type of sandwich on artisan bread, because you wont get it. go here for a really simple sandwich that has been made the same way since 1986. read more

I'm probably a little biased here, but I heart this place. I've been a My Hero's fan ever since I attended UC Riverside years ago, and I still come here every chance I get. I'M ADDICTED. Granted I've never ordered anything other than a Jr. Turkey Sub, but what else do you need?? Thin slices of turkey and provolone, veg, and Italian dressing on soft, crusty bread. I ain't saying this is the most sophisticated sandwich, b/c it definitely is not. If you're looking for that go elsewhere, and if you're going to order something other than the Jr. Sub, well, I have no idea what that'll taste like.... My Hero's = simplicity at its best. read more

**This review is only for the discount subs** My Hero Sub is the perfect spot for a broke college student it was purely price point, they offered a sub with a price that was difficult to pass up. Although it was not the BEST sub or the largest, it was perfect for the amount that was paid. I never actually ordered the larger more full bodied subs (those looked like 4 star quality, but I cannot really give fair commentary). read more

A good place if you want a quick lunch and don't want to spend too much. The six inch sandwiches are $1.69 if I remember correctly. There isn't too much meat in that so I usually ask for extra meat which costs 75 cents more. I usually get the pastrami and it tastes pretty good for what you pay. read more

Went to north high 92-96.. Been having subs here ever since.. and always drop by anytime I'm back in riverside.. Still the best cheese - steak sandwich I've ever tasted anywhere in my life! U guys are my HERO! Thank you! read more

I actually really love this place. Been going here since high school and they are still cheap and fast. I think if you're on a budget and looking for good sandwiches, this is an awesome spot. read more

I had the junior sub for 1.69, ham. It was good for a small meal when you don't want a huge burrito or something. Good bread, fast service. Good food at an excellent price gets five stars from me. read more

Been coming here for years. Ever since the ownership change things are going down hill as far as service. I'm waiting now. I ordered 4 12" sandwiches and have watched them bag at least 6 other sandwiches ordered "after" mine. Noticing that I'm visibly upset I get " we are working on it you have a big order". I'm so tired of food spots that will make someone's food who ordered after you before yours. That is straight trash. Put up a sign that says "We will make your order when we feel like it"......................................I get home and none of the extras I asked and presumably paid for. SMH read more

After finishing UCR, I really missed this place. I would still drive back 30 miles once in a while to catch these sandwich deals. Extremely great service, family owned place and great tasting subs! The prices are unbeatable, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu... A++++! It's totally worth a shot for such low priced sandwiches... YUM! read more
