Food and service is always great. Right off a main road so it can get pretty busy. Establishment is always very generous with their servings and usually pretty quick. The only thing I dislike about this place is that their bread is very soft. I usually like my subs on a crispy roll. This is my go-to option when Cappelluti's Deli in Kearny is closed read more

An extremely solid sub shop in the area. They do both hot and cold subs and I've yet to be disappointed. Quality vs cost is phenomenal. I usually go with the Big Bite but yesterday I went with the tuna melt and that was pretty solid as well. My son has been going with the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and he's said it's one of the best. We both get a half size and he usually winds up saving half of that. So it is a solid meal. Decent amount of parking with options to eat in as well. Interior is very basic and everything is made right in front of you.... fresh. Only downfall is that they are cash only. Which I used to understand, but now you can order online via food delivery apps, so the ability is obviously there to take other forms of payment. In an era of everything being electronic, including our paychecks, cash has gone from King to inconvenient when you need to use it. All in all, by far one of the best in the area and you'll be full until the next day. read more

Great sandwich packed with plenty of fresh cold cuts at a decent price. Better than Jersey Mikes or Subway. My go to place for a good lunch.

Definitely good Jersey sandwich place. I most definitely like them. They are very consistent and usually good.

I heard a lot about this place so I stopped in today for lunch. First walked in, very clean, immediately greeted by the staff, walked up to the counter to order and saw the sign cash only. Lucky for me they had an ATM inside, no big deal, took out some cash and ordered the roast beef with provolone. They asked what I wanted on it I said everything except onions, I appreciate that they didn't drown the sandwich in oil and vinegar. Paid for the food and got in my car. When I got home I noticed there wasn't any mayo, I should have asked for it my fault. Have to admit it was a good sandwich very reasonably priced. But I don't think I would give it the hype that I've been hearing. read more

Not going to lie, walked out after buying one whole sub and one half and called and questioned the pricing. Thinking they rang me up for 2 wholes. But after eating it and the amount of meat on there, ill be back. They def dont skimp on the meat and bread was fresh. read more

American Hero Subhouse - What a classy joint - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

Well I've not had a Sub like this in years!!! This place is clean, friendly and the subs are meat packed and worth every bite!!!! THANKS to 3 County for an oil change, hunger and waiting I was introduced to place I'd drive this way for a sub anytime!! read more

If you grew up in Kearny you can still remember the day American Hero opened up and families became divided and friendships were lost depending on if you stayed true blue to Big Stash's or you jumped ship over to Lyndhurst's American Hero. (I stayed loyal to Big Stash's until I learned about Cappelluti's Deli, but that's not important right now.) American Hero - clean, solid hot and cold options, it's just that there's something amiss here. And I think the main issue is the ratio when they're building their subs. The family got lunch there again recently and we were bummed we just didn't drive into K-Town to Cappelluti's Deli. On a turkey and cheese one of my kids asked for pickles - you figure it would be a few. Nope. The pile of pickles was thicker than the meat. No joke. On my Italian instead of everything working in harmony there's just too much overhanging cured meats which start to taste like a Vespa tire after a while. (As an Italian myself I'm allowed to make that crack!) A few tweaks could make this place stellar but they're still better than Subway and Blimpie's... read more

I always say New Jersey is one of the best places in the world for a great sandwich. I absolutely love the quality of meat that I receive in any sandwich that I have ever ordered from here. You can tell that they take pride in making their sandwiches and it shows in the taste. In New Jersey there are many options for getting a good sandwich and this is 1 of those places that you just never forget. I love sandwiches almost as much as I love seafood and pizza and for me this spot is an excellent choice and one of my go to place when craving a great sandwich. The subs here are big and generous. Always doused in a good amount of oil and vinegar filled with mounds of quality meat and cheese and whatever toppings you desire. They always follow order notes which is awesome. A half is enough to split for my daughter and I because it so thick. I will continue to spend my money here as long as the quality is consistent. read more

This place is a finely tuned machine. One person puts the meat on, another does the toppings how you like it, while another rings you up. These guys seems to be friends and work well together to pump out sandwiches quickly. These guys are artists expertly crafting sandwiches far superior than any of their competitors. Great name for a sandwich place, these hero's know how to battle hunger. They have a wide selection of cold and hot sandwiches including a variety of Italian sandwiches and even have hamburgers. Thank you to the Fanelli Bro's down the street for putting me on to this spot. I've ordered these sandwiches for co-workers and my birthday party and they've never let me down. They have a wide range of drinks, even their own brand of sodas. You can chose between a wide variety of chips, the sandwiches are generous at a reasonable price. Always fresh ingredients made to order with friendly service. I highly recommend this place, even if the line is long, don't worry they move quick. Cash only, but there is an ATM. read more

My family recently suffered the loss of two of our family members. The meal we received tonight was hand delivered by the American Hero Subhouse with a card of sympathy, and strawberry cupcakes. Lyndhurst is lucky to have a gem like this in town. Thank you. read more

Had to leave another review... this is hands down the best sandwich spot around. I had my usual chicken cutlet and it was delicious. Fresh soft bread. Chicken was perfectly fried. And just the right amount of lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, etc. read more

Just got this for the first time and it's legit. Chicken parm sub legit. Service legit. Ambiance legit. Tuna sub legit. It's CASH ONLY which I don't know why they would do that since we will be in a cashless society in a couple years. Buy Quant and Stellar Lumens. $QNT $XLM read more

American Hero Subhouse - Tuna sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

Good eatin', yet expensive. The $15.00 that I paid for a large sub & bottle of water certainly was pricey, yet satisfying in the end. So satisfying that I was able to eat the second half of the sub as dinner several hours later. Standard looking deli that was clean enough to chill in while a game was showing. The employees were relaxed & provided good recommendations on what to add on at a reasonable price, if necessary. FYI, this deli accepts cash only (for now). read more

American Hero Subhouse - Half of a whole-sized turkey hero with bacon. $15 with a drink. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

Lived in the area for quite some time and never knew this was here. Ordered the other day for the first time and it was pretty good. I'm someone who does not like cold cuts but once in a while I will have a sandwich. Compared to the other places around here...these sandwich's are HEAVY and come packed with whatever you ordered. Honestly was not expecting that I only ate half because there was so much. Would definitely recommend especially if you're someone who loves sandwiches and or cold cuts. read more

Grest tasting sandwiches. Always a good deal. Parking on side. Call order in and save time. Like meatball parmigiana. read more

Picked up two turkey sandwiches on different days from here. The sandwiches are great and a lot of meat provided. I will be back again.

On this day; American Hero Subhouse chose to send me a sub that looked like the picture & thought it was perfectly okay. Thanks. read more

American Hero Subhouse - Hot pastrami & Mold - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

Very generous portions and oversized sandwiches. From what I know, this is owned by local firefighters that love serving both in the line and behind the grill. I always order their famous Italian sub stacked with meat and large enough to fill you up - it's my favorite here. They also cater for any occasion including football Sundays, parties, and events. They brew their own drinks such as root beer; and don't forget they offer food on the grill like burgers, wings, and much more! read more

Best sandwich's around. Always fresh. Friendly staff and clean. Try the cherry peppers to spice things up.

They are so unwelcoming and aggressive for no good reason. While the food is good, the energy and the attitude from some of the males working there reeks of misery. I walked in to pick up an order and the guy yells that they don't take card. Cash only. Then threw the change on the counter and answers the phone. Rude. Clearly he's had no home training with those social skills (lack there of). read more

Ordered on uber eats. Food was good as always. Sodas delivered were expired by over 4 months

I was looking for a place that had good quality hoagies nearby. I turned to my Yelp app for some suggestions and this place popped up. The location of this place is on Riverside Ave. in Lyndhurst. Its closer to RT. 21 than RT. 3, but it's accessible from both. The inside looks like a basic sub shop. No frills, with a good amount of seating. I ordered the big bite, which is like a big Italian hoagie. You can see the staff making your sandwich, sort of like Subway or Blimpie. The foot long is pretty big. I only ate half of it in one sitting. The sandwich is fresh. Its made from Thumann's cold cuts, and your choice of pre-cut veggies, and condiments. The prices are a bit high, but I guess it isn't too bad, considering that the quality of the ingredients, does justify spending a little bit more than your average sub shop. read more

Best sandwich in north Jersey! The big bite is my favorite, cold cuts are sliced real thin, perfect! Heads up It's cash only..

This is a busy sub shop that keeps the wait to a minimum which is hard to find. The young staff is fast, friendly and gets you in and out. Cash only, but of course they have an ATM on the premises so no worries. This place makes it easy to come back over and over again with the bread quality and meat portions being above average. The food is great period! Hot or cold sandwiches, you can not lose and will not be disappointed if you are a true sub sandwich fan like myself. I recommend the chicken cutlet with cheese toasted it's a can't miss sandwich !!! read more

HUGE sandwiches. One foot long is about 10 bucks and is enough for two meals. I kept it simple with turkey/cheese/lettuce/tomato but everything tasted fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend this place. Can't wait to try their hot subs! read more

I tried a sandwich based on the reviews here. Standard Italian sub. Not really good at all. There wasn't much flavor. Bread could have been better. Too much lettuce and onions. Just was not a good Italian sub. Park Tavern or Matera's on Park do it 100 times better. A little bit higher priced also. I tried and won't be back. read more

Grew up in Lyndhurst. Live in Netcong now. I'm pregnant with my second and was craving an Italian sub. I know I'm not supposed to eat cold cuts so if I was going to break the rules it would have to be worth it. My husband and I took the trip back to Lyndhurst just for this sub. We picked up and delivered for my family too, quarantining is not fun. These subs are great. read more

American Hero Subhouse - The Big Bite - Sandwiches Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

Their subs are massive! The 6 inch is more like a 10 inch. They PACK the sandwich with meat and condiments. Their prices are beyond reasonable for all the food you are getting. read more

Excellent sandwiches. Quick service. Cash only is the only challenge for people who don't carry cash but excellent.

The subs are big and the toppings plenty, I've got no complaints! The place is clean, sparse, and the staff is efficient. Stopped in as I was craving subs and they came up during my Yelp search! Got the Italian, and it was everything I needed. The bread was classic Italian soft bread, perfectly built for subs. Their toppings were fresh and plenty. I got a half sub and it was more than enough for a super hungry lunch or lunch and dinner!!! Will be back soon!!!! read more

Great selection of sandwiches, I ordered the big bite which is the same as a blimpie best. The sandwich was tasty with fresh sliced meat. Compared to tastee subs in Edison was pretty good. The only thing I can knock them is the pricing is a bit more expensive than competitors. Big bite sub compare to a tastee super sub is about 3 dollars more for a whole. This is without extra toppings which an extra dollar. Blimpie gives you a topping for free which includes olives, peppers, pickles, etc. Again you pay extra for taste but its up the person to decide if it's worth it. read more

Excellent sandwich shop, fresh sliced cold cuts. My fav is big bite sub. Small shop, lil parking lot. They catered for events which is perfect for Super Bowl. The shop does close early so plan accordingly. read more

I have been to this place 2 times. They cut the meat in front of you so it's fresh. The cheese is also fresh. I got the Turkey & swiss with everything on it (lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, vinegar, oregano). The subs are really big and fully loaded. But the price is just as loaded. Its cash only too! A whole sub will cost you $13.25. If you want pickles or pepper they cost extra. There is plenty of room to sit and the staff is friendly. Parking is tough here though. read more

Food for Sunday Football! The subs are huge! We usually get a full and split it. Wings delicious... nice and crispy. Potato salad and pasta salads also good. They guys don't smile much and aren't very friendly much but they take care of you... seems they are focused just on getting the job done and they do that so it's all good. read more

Delicious subs. Think Jersey Mike's but so much better. The guys that work here are friendly and fast. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. I always get the same thing (turkey and provolone). I really love this place. They have a parking lot but it's a pain in the ass to get in and out of. They're cash only but they have an ATM. read more

Hands down the best subs in the area. Very generous portions and great fresh ingredients.
