We've been meaning to try this place for a while, and finally made it out today. The restaurant itself is very small, with a handful of tables to eat in. I got a ham & cheese sub. The sub was kind of underwhelming. The bread was great, but the rest of the sub was just okay. They also need bigger plates as mine barely fit and lettuce kept falling out. The steak fries were great, however. All in all, an ok experience but probably not one that I'll repeat. read more

I've been getting subs here since I was a kid and have never been disappointed. They are consistently delicious, no matter which one you order. The service is great and they're quick! Highly recommend stopping here. They also have amazing party trays! read more

Before I even make mention of the food, I can't say enough good things about the friendliness of the gentleman working the register. If every business had someone like him, society would be a much better place. During my first visit I tried their Italian #1 with a side of fries that came out crispy and hot (steak fries btw). The sub was refreshing and my eyes were bigger than my stomach as I probably only needed a half. Reasonable prices and good quality, and with the excellent service I'll definitely be back to try some other options. read more

I have found my local sandwich spot... I am lucky to have my Hero Sub shop where I live. This is a no frills simple sandwich place, that is perfect for this guy. I absolutely love this kind of business, a place that only does a few things but does those things very well. no matter what sandwich you choose it will always be on that beautiful soft fresh bread. My go to is either the Italian cold cut or the cheesesteak, both are winners in my opinion. Service is always quick and friendly and served in a nice clean dining room. Prices are good for the quality you get too, Aloha read more

My Heroes Sub Shop - Steak and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, Pennsylvania

I've been passing here for 12 years & finally stopped on a Friday afternoon after reading YELP reviews. Yes, this is your regulation old fashioned sub shop. They slice the meat for your sub when you order. They have a menu on the wall next to the counter & you order and your subs are ready pretty quickly. They have about 20 different subs, including a cheese steak and chicken cheese steak. I had a #1 which was Italian with ham, cappicola, pepperoni and a cheesesteak. Their full size subs are big, maybe 12" and the bread was soft & fresh. It's definitely worth a stop over going to Subway or a chain. The subs aren't quite a big a Jersey Mike's but they are cheaper & worth the price. read more

Cheap and GOOD. Past by this place for YEARS and just recently stopped in. I have been missing out. Nice size hoagies at a great price. Meats are fresh sliced and the hoagies aren't overloaded with veggies. No bloated menus. Just straightforward options that offer a nice range of different subs. Stop paying outrageous prices for Sheetz disappointing hoagies and go here. read more

Ok this is my second visit this year and I love the onion rings and the bun fresh and soft. I enjoyed my sandwich but I think if I oder again I need to ask for extra meat great food served fresh and hot but I can use a little more meat on my sub. The environment was clean the menu is visible to the eye and the staff was friendly as well. Next I'll try to bring the family or just get takeout. I try to stop after therapy but I seen the have a apple dessert must try next time read more

I love my hero. I used to work in Beaver Co. and would stop in for a sub all the time. Gentlemen that owns it is always very friendly and a nice guy. Great little family business. All meats and cheeses cut to order. Nice rolls. Place hasn't changed in years food or inside decor and that's a good thing as far as I am concerned. Now when I visit the area I always stop in for a sub. I was just here Thursday and wanted to go again Friday but couldn't find the time. You won't be disappointed. read more

We love their hoagies, they are so tasty and delicious! The bread is so good! Also - they are the nicest people. They are very supportive to their community events and are just good people! Great owners with great sandwiches! read more

I've probably passed here a million times and have always said that I need to stop some day. Today was finally that day. I went in and picked it my food and was in and out in less than five minutes. I ordered the number one and couldn't even wait to get to work to take my first bite. I was really impressed with how fresh the meat and bread was. It was about $9 for a 12 inch sub. Well worth it. read more

Stood there for what seemed like forever and felt ingnored by staff while people sitting down yelled out requests which he happily filled and not even a I'll be right with you. Food was probably good I never found out due to poor customer service read more

When I lived in East Rochester, my roommates and I would come here every once in awhile and it was always a decent spot to grab some lunch. Five years later it's the exact same place it was back then. You walk in, order your sub at the counter and the guy turns around to make it on the flat top or throw it into the fryer. It's a nice place to grab a quick lunch, but at the end of the day it's nothing special. When it comes to places to eat in Rochester, though, it's almost all there is if you want to walk in and back out of a place with something to eat in a reasonable amount of time. read more

My Heroes Sub Shop - the outside of the store - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, Pennsylvania

First time today! Sub was truly delicious! Highly recommend... only thing I would maybe ask for a little more meat! Other than that amazing! read more

Came in for the first time after my boyfriend discovered this treasure! The food is fantastic and not expensive! He hand cuts the meat right in front of you and the bread is so good! Definitely a great place in Rochester! read more

What a disappointment. I really like to support the little guy but this place sucks... Great service but the food is weak at best. The meat is cut fresh but not high quality (square ham?). The meat and cheese is also VERY thin as noted by other reviews. I folded the meat over and left half the bread behind for each half of my "whole" sub. The bread is good but too much. The only thing that was worth eating was the fries. Thick, with ridges, cooked fresh. Yummy! So in conclusion. Great service, poor quality food (bland, tasteless, generic meat), small quantities of meat and cheese (see thru is an accurate description), and short, irratic hours (the first time I went by the place was closed at 4:30 on a Saturday!? WTF? The sign says open until 5pm...) If it wasn't for the fries I would have given only one star and never to return. read more

I used to live in Economy Borough. I've been coming to this business since before it was My Hero's (it was a burger joint) back in the '70s. My Hero has gone through some changes over the years, but the owner has always tried his best to provide a high-quality meal on a roll. I stopped by today after a 3month hiatus and found that he'd remodeled the place to make it ADA compliant, which cost him some customer seating. I can't say that I'm crazy about all of his sub recipes, but he does make them as tasty as any that I've ever eaten anywhere; and I've traveled extensively. I'm personally a big fan of his turkey sub, which he currently makes using Mancini's bread! Judge for yourself, but I highly recommend this place; and the fries are very good too. He does close early sometimes on Saturday because the vast majority of his business is weekday lunch. read more

I've been to this sub shop about four times. Each time I have gotten the same thing- ham, salami, and cheese. And, weirdly, every time I go there is literally less and less on my sub. Today I ordered the same thing and I could actually see through the cheese it was sliced so thinly. Think about that for a moment. It was unbelievable. It's tragic too, b/c the bread was fantastic. Chewy, good. But there was so little on my sub that all I could taste was bread. It was the worst thing ever. I don't know if it is the owner's way of cutting costs or what, but damn, even Subway gives you WAAAy more meat and cheese on a $5 footlong. And that's saying something. Esp. since the subs here are about $9. Not going back. read more

Best in the valley by far. Everything is freshly sliced for each sandwich. Fresh and awesome. Owner is a great guy. Always friendly. Whenever we make soup we stop by for these subs. Absolutely Awesome! Five stars easily. read more

I've been coming to MH for as long as I can remember. Monday or Tuesday is when I find the subs to be best and I've had almost every variation on the menu. My go to place for a sub. The owner is always very nice. read more

Absolutely without question, the best sub place around. No complaints with service or food. The owner is the nicest guy, and the meat and cheese is so fresh that it's cut in front of you instead of haunt sat out in a plastic container precut like subway. If you're in need of a sandwich, this is definitely the place to go. read more

Awesome, hometown shop. The two gentlemen we worked with didn't blink an eye when we ordered 9 whole subs on the fly. They we great, super personable, and the sandwiches were pretty good. They accommodated our vegetarian needs, too, and put all the veggies they had on one sub. Would definitely recommend! Please support their business! read more

The sandwiches are very good for the price. The only reason i did not give a better rating was because of the cleanliness of the restroom. As a female I was disgusted by this bathroom, it looks as if the toilet and sink have not been scrubbed out for 20 years, it's worse than a truck stop restroom. If the bathroom isn't clean, makes me wonder about eating there. read more

I've lived in Rochester my whole life and this is a staple by far! Best tasting sandwiches I've ever had! He cuts the meat right in front of you and cooks the fries so they're thick, crunchy, and hot. The bread is so tasty and thick. He recently has fried pickle chips and those are on my list to try next! read more

I love the subs here great bread freshly made I crave them especially in summer best subs in the area

My sub was good. Deli style, meat was sliced to order, good service, and fair prices. I will definitely go back

Great sandwiches made fresh while you wait. French fries are really good. Stevie runs the joint by himself. Super friendly and makes one heck of a hoagie. read more
