I Am the Resistance
Old style delis have disappeared in the onslaught of Subway. Fortunately, this one survives and even thrives. A real local "joint" run by warm and friendly people. The food is great, the staff is great and the place is 70s LI forever! Real bread with good texture, not that super soft "fresh baked" substitute. The $7.50 (average price) sub is a way better value than any $5 footlong. My biggest regret? Ive lived in Merrick for over 15 years and it took me that long to "discover" My Hero. Though I had head of it before, it took the enthusiastic recommendation of an All Island cab driver taking us home from LaGuardia Airport to get us to go there. Thank You!!!

"Chicken Club" is the best! Just get it and dont ask questions. I prefer mine with American cheese. "The Champ" is s close second especially if you like Italian meats. Throw "The Works" on it while youre at it. Their macaroni and potato salads arent bad, but the fresh chicken salad is perfect. Let me just say that if you think you can get a good deli hero anywhere, then you havent been here. The bread they use is what makes it. Dont let the dated decor fool you, this place is a diamond in the rough. BTW, cash only but there is an ATM right outside.

Sandwhiches are unreal. Best you can find in Nassau county. I dare you, I double dog dare you to find a better sandwich. Carvel owner is a fool. Instead of towing your car, one would think he would work something out with My Hero and let you park in his lot and then have Carvel coupons stacked on the counter at My Hero for money off ice cream. Maybe drive a little business his way. But what do I know? Im just a washed up sandwich eater.

Got the special, rost pork, broccoli rabe and melted mozzarella on a hero took forever to get it and when I opened it up it was so wet everything just fell out of the bread and onto the floor and on my pants rolled it up and threw it away. It may have tasted ok but I couldnt eat it the way it was served what a waste of money. Lines in place was to long. Watch what you order not every thing is that good.

I really wasnt impressed with my visit. After waiting 30 minutes for my sub, I was expecting to be blown away. The sub was average to below average. The chicken cutlets there are dry and chewy. I felt like spitting it out. The only compliment I can leave about this place is the reasonableness in prices. For me to return they will need to work on their snail pace service and their ingredients.

This place is the most awesome sandwich shop you could go to. Old school and I love it!! Prices are almost as amazing as the sandwiches!!but not nearly as awesome as the owner Anthony, he is the bomb!! CATERING IS THE BEST YOU COULD ASK FOR!! Dont doubt me try it you will never be sorry!!

The heros are second to none here. But he prepared to wait, every time Ive been to My Hero, the line has literally been out the door (granted, its a pretty small store). That being said, its worth the wait. Im a fan of most of their chicken cutlet heros.

Best old time hero shop you will find. Owners are great. Hot & cold heros are highest quality. Carvell owner is a jerk he has your car towed if u park there for the 1 or 2 customers he gets. I no longer go to that carvell and tell other people about it.

OMG the best friggin heros in NY period. The champ with the works and the chicken cutlet heros are to die for. Be prepared to wait as the line is long and usually out the door. Worth it though...

Best hero place around, this place is always packed you might want to place your order ahead. Also the guy who owns the Carvels next door is a jerk, dont park there or hell have your car towed.

Whats better than a family owned deli? My Hero has been a landmark in the community forever and it continues to proudly serve delicious and affordable food to everyone. We ❤️ My Hero!

One of my favorite delis, havent had a sandwich I didnt like, parking is awful and the place is old and small and usually attracts a crowd, but most of the time its worth it.

By far the greatest hero place in all the land! Crispy chicken cutlets, soft and crusty bread, perfectly put together and well portioned. Beware of the lines during lunch.

Anthony makes the best heroes around and is a fixture of the community. The price you pay for quality of the food you get is unmatched. Have never been disappointed here.

Sandwiches are delicious, the champ is insane, friendly service. I recommend calling your order ahead of time during the lunch hour rush, as it gets packed very quickly.

You will not find a better hero place on Long Island than My Hero. The line can get long if you go at the wrong times but worth the wait.

Chicken club is great but they messed it up the last two times Ive been there. They gave me it cold with hard bacon and messed up chicken.

Best cold heroes on the island... Long wait at times and nearly impossible to reach them for call ahead ordering; but well worth it

The best sandwich place ever. The signature is a chicken club with the works. You wont taste a better sandwich than that one!!!!!!!
