I'm not a huge fan of heros (because I prefer a pressed sandwich) but Brooklyn Hero Shop has my heart! I usually only get the Fried Shrimp Po Boy Roll but the menu is full of options that seem delicious. I love trying the full menu at places that I like so me sticking with that one sandwich should let you know how good it is. Besides the food, I love that they have some high quality and unique goods for sale inside. It's a cool little pantry. Also, the staff members have good energy whenever I visit. I love everything about the small but mighty Brooklyn Hero Shop and hope everyone gets a chance to visit. read more

Brooklyn Hero Shop - Fried Shrimp Po Boy Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Some mixup getting a wrong order through GrubHub. When I called to give them a heads up, I spoke to someone who proceeded to insist on why I had ordered what I didn't order. Also made a point of calling me, babe through the entire interaction. Despite the mixup, it was solely the positioning of the Customer Service that really turned me off. After almost 2 years of ordering from this restaurant, I won't be any longer. read more

Brooklyn Hero Shop - Chicken cutlet rustico- with burrata, balsamic glaze, shaved Parmesan, garlic aioli and speck - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Excellent, flavorful sandwiches on fresh bread. Eggplant Parm 9/10 It is filled with thin sliced and fried eggplant, covered in great tomato sauce and some cheese. It has the right combination of flavors. Wagyu roast beef 9/10 This is high quality meat! Even though this is technically a wagyu roast beef, it is more like the best Philly cheese steak you ever had. I've eaten all of them in Philly and this is better. Sausage and broccoli rabe 8/10 The sausage is excellent. It's sweet, savory, and everything you want in a sausage. Taste like it was home made. Order online to save time. They have a lot of fun goods, snacks, and drinks in the grocery section. Don't stand around too long, the smell of the spices etc from the kitchen will get to you. read more

I've eaten a lot of sandwiches in my lifetime. I've also had sandwiches all over the world. Let's just say that Joey Tribbiani has nothing on me when it comes to sandwiches. This place in Clinton Hill makes my top five list. It is a very unassuming small shop with a cool Italian deli vibe. The people working there are so friendly and professional. You really made me happy just to be there. You can tell that they take their sandwiches seriously and treat each one like they're preparing a gourmet dish not just throwing together a sandwich. The variety of different sandwiches is impressive and the quality of each is amazing. I came here with my family and we each got a different sandwich. We love to share so I got to sample different sandwiches. We had the Porchetta and Rabbe, Steak and Onion and the Spicy Eggplant. All were delicious but the eggplant was my favorite. I live in Los Angeles and am craving a sandwich from here. Can't wait to go back to Brooklyn. read more

Good,but expensive. They have some Italian food goods that are fun to check out while you wait for your order. I ordered the roast beef hero and it was pretty good- reminiscent of a Chicago Italian beef sandwich. It was a decent sized sandwich, but not so large that I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The gravy on it was not thick and would have made the hero bread a spongy mess if I had tried to save some for later. For $19 and change after tax for one sandwich, this is more expensive than other places in the area. read more

My spicy eggplant sandwich was just absolutely incredible, and the perfect pick me up after a long late night of partying. My husband's sausage rabe hero was equally mind blowing. The counter staff is amazing. They have lots of imported foods for sale. There is no indoor seating, but there are outdoor tables. I took a star off because there was a person who was clearly involved with the shop - maybe an owner or manager? Who hung out outside and kept flicking their cigarette onto the pavement. I thought that was a pretty crappy way to behave in your own establishment . This individual kept entering the shop and going into the back room, so I am almost positive that this was not a customer. If it was, then please consider my review to be five stars. read more

This delicious Hero Shop hits the spot when you need a quick bite. A sandwich that not only comes with flavor but comes so filled with meat just right. Nice calming as soon as you walk through the doors. Very friendly and inviting staff. It does not just stops with the sandwiches you have the shelves that fully stocked with fresh pastas, cheeses and desserts. Outdoor seating and parking on street. read more

As far as heroes go this place is un-matched. They do so many things so well. And have like 20 different well thought out combinations. Staff and owners are real New Yorkers so the place has the feel and quality of an establishment that has been here for 50 years and will be for 50 more. Chef's Kiss* read more

Charming little sandwich shop in Brooklyn! The menu holds a great selection of sandwiches and more. You're guaranteed to find something to your liking. They were so sweet to me as I was deciding what to try. They let me sample a piece of their grilled chicken and the broccoli rabe - while giving me some recommendations from the menu. The grilled chicken was well season and cooked perfectly. The Broccoli rabe was pretty good. I ended up getting a chicken parm hero for my son and a chicken club on a roll for myself. I placed my order to go. My son and I enjoyed the sandwiches at home. The chicken cutlets were so fresh, with the perfect crispiness. I really enjoyed the garlic aioli and the sauce ithe chicken parm was pretty good too! The sandwiches were made to order and it didn't take long for them to be made. It gave me enough time to take a walk around the store and explore the store. I decided to try a peach juice that I saw in their refrigerator. It was a semi sweet, light juice consistency - I placed it in a glass with ice and hit the spot. read more

My second time ordering from here. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Hero. Amazing! It was an ample amount of chopped steak with the onions and melted cheddar cheese on a fresh hero with seeds. I was impressed. Wrapped in wax paper to keep it all in place. You can tell they take pride in their hero's. It arrived hot and it was a great sized hero. It was the perfect hero. I will definitely be back. read more

i never have ever reviewed a place, but thtime I'm so compelled to do it. I went there because a friend of mine recommended, I ordered a chicken Parma hero, and oh boy what a disappointment. stale bread and a very dried and very hard chicken I couldn't take a bite out. I took a look and it even the color was brown. I wish my phone hadn't died so I could take a picture. Anyways, hours later I called the place and was offered to go back and get a new hero, but why would I bother after that. I asked for a refund and was told they don't do that. and was offered a lame apology that cost me $20. So if you go there, be aware. I would give 0 stars but the app doesn't let me so. In any case Im not sure what I'll tell my friend when she get to ask me about it. but I guess have to tell her the hard truth. disappointed read more

To start I'm leaving one star off ONLY for price in this gentrification age of over exposed Brooklyn white wash world but not for quality! Mostly awesome staff, great deals on Uber and GotoGo and almost always not too much of a wait for what sometimes in other places could take ten to fifteen minutes to have made not including line time. Food here is almost always on par with what you're looking at...really really good stuff. In other words it taste what it looks like. No disappointments for having to drop usually almost 15+ for a sandwich. I've always said just give me what I paid for if not a deal and I'll be at least content if not happy. You wanna be happy...go on uber or GoodToGo and strike one of their more than fair deals going on on those apps. My ONLY request for at least the chicken parm sandwich is a tad more cheese and sweet & salt whilst it and slightly less sauce. Other than that, pastries great, bread good, other fare from Italy pretty damn good variety and quality. They also have some cutting edge innovative sandwich ideas that are usually found at those horrific foodie events in those much more hipster hell holes along the G train but here you'll find them without the lunatic asylum and mental cases. Yes I'm a burnt out original Brooklynite Cuban Italian who grew up HERE IN FORT GREENE *not "Clinton Hill...and as much as I hate most of the over rated garbage coming into my neighbourhood thanks to these Gentrifiers. This is not the situation here whatsoever this place is owned by an original Brooklyn from across the borough who came over here to better the place and keep it well yes Brooklyn! read more

This sub shop knows how to make a sandwich. The bread had the perfect crisp exterior and soft center. The meats were sliced so thin, to perfection. The lettuce, peppers and vinaigrette added the perfect tang and heat. One call out for the Italian sandwich - if anyone else made a silly mistake like me, it comes with prosciutto cotto which is essentially thin sliced ham (when I ordered it I was picturing prosciutto di Parma). Alas, I am not normally a prosciutto cotto lover and I absolutely loved this sub! I have been to the shop previously, and it is very cute with so many options for drinks and chips to go with your meal, along with fun artisan Italian goods. This time I ordered delivery and they were timely with the order, no small feat on a busy Sunday in Brooklyn! read more

Brooklyn Hero Shop - Cold Italian Sub - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This spot is a great option if you have a craving for a good Italian sandwich. The cold Italian is probably the best thing on the menu - it's stacked with quality meats & toppings and the portions are big enough for two people to split. Definitely ask for their calabrian spread or aioli on the side - both are delicious! I recently tried their brisket philly too - it was good, but waaaay too greasy & rich. I'd stick with their cold hero selection. read more

Great little place with a large sandwich selection! It's a nice mix of modern sandwich place that fits seamless with the surrounding brownstone vibe. A small grocery area inside has a decent amount of boutique Italian groceries. Sandwiches are a little pricey, but not insane for the neighborhood. Plenty of outdoor seating to get your sandwich to go and eat outside. We got an eggplant Parm hero and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both were really good, high quality ingredients for sure. Cheese on Parm was perfect, but sauce was a little mild, we'll try spicy one next time for more flavor. Nashville hot was really flavorful, though actual heat was only a little over mild. Fried chicken was really good! We'll for sure be back regularly when we have the craving! read more

Shrimp po boy is incredible, very tasty and perfect proportions. Freshly fried, huge shrimp, and well seasoned. The aioli, arugula, and tomatoes are all fresh and super delicious, I've only had the shrimp po boy here even though I want to try everything else on the menu, I keep going back to the shrimp. Bread is on point - nice, soft, chewy seeded roll that holds the ingredients well. Great ambiance and super friendly staff who treat you like welcome guests and are genuine. Offered a free espresso shot while I waited - nice touch! Shop is super cute and feels like a small Italian specialty shop with special items you don't usually see elsewhere. Will be back often to try the other sandwiches. read more

Grabbed a chicken farm and italian combo for the flight home and they were just what the doctor (not an actual doctor) ordered in terms of something that kept well and tasted good even a bit cold. I wouldn't say either sandwich broke new ground but they played the hits well. read more

My love runs deep for Brooklyn Hero. The nicest people work here and the food is so good as well as the little Italian market. I'll often be somewhere else in the city wishing for a place like this to have some lunch but you can't find anywhere like it with this kind of quality. So glad this gem is in my neighborhood. 5 stars every time. read more

Great place for a sandwich! They have MANY options to choose from - perhaps too many! I had the Chicken Parm sandwich and it was great. Very tasty and very filling. Service was fairly quick, even during the lunch hour. Pricing was what you'd expect in this nice area of Brooklyn, so OK. read more

Great local Brooklyn shop with friendly staff and tasty food. Favorites are the Cuban and the Italian.

Cool little local shop. Didn't know prosciutto bread existed. Lucky delicious discovery.

I'm not sure if the Vanderbilt's live nearby, but judging by the prices at the Brooklyn Hero Shop they can't be far. I stumbled upon Brooklyn Hero Shop accidently while I was on my bicycle. The shop is very nice and the staff were more than happy to tell me about everything. I opted for a Speck and Burrata hero. The plusses are that the bread was very fresh, the Speck was delicious, and the Tomato's were very tasty. I think that Burrata has gotten too popular and that the Balsamic glaze was unnecessary. My bill was $17.00, and the value $14.00. Thank U next! read more

We've moved a little further from BHS and today I had a huge craving for a sandwich and was so sad because I couldn't walk down the street to pickup, so I ordered the chicken bruschetta via delivery. It came earlier than the ETA, perfectly warm and not at all soggy- the perfect amount of vinaigrette. This sandwich is SO GOOD. Might be my new favorite in the lineup!! read more

Placed an order for pickup and it was ready when I arrived. They appear to be supported by the residents in the neighborhood which is a good sign. read more

I came here for the first time yesterday, and was impressed with the Philly Sandwich I had with cherry peppers. Good ratio of meat to onions, well cooked and seasoned. Staff was quick, and the person taking my order was friendly enough. I think the prices are on the higher side even for NYC, but the store front was nice, and everything seemed really fresh. read more

I rock with this spot heavy. Their ingredients are quality, the ratio of them and balance of flavor is spot on. Controversial to some of the previous reviews they have great customer service. I call in most of my sandwiches ahead of time and they've been correct with my additions or subtractions of ingredients on my sandwich (I don't eat dairy). I appreciate they're in the neighborhood. read more

Big fan! Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. They are also dog-friendly which makes it convenient when picking up our orders. The only reason for the 4 stars is that it is pretty pricey... but I'm sure it ain't cheap to run a business like that so I also sort of get it. The sandwiches are pretty generous though... I wish they had a half sandwich option! read more

Just wanted to drop a quick review because being kind goes a long way! I did not eat here (though my friend highly recommends it!) some friends and I were on a very long run - training for the nyc marathon, and we had run out of water. We weren't close to any public water fountains so we popped in and asked for a cup of water. The server didn't hesitate and gave us two cups of ice water. Thank you! :) read more

A disappointing experience. The eggplant and chicken parm heroes were big but just not that good! Place has such a cool vibe. I expected better read more

Another overhyped and overpriced spot in the neighborhood. I was excited to try based on the good reviews but I guess a lot of people have bland taste as the sandwich was nothing special at all especially for the price. My order was also completely wrong even though the shop wasn't busy at all. I tried to look up the sandwich that they gave me but couldn't even find it on the menu...sigh read more

Just tried this out, had a Turkey Philly. I ordered in person, but when I got it the cheese was already coagulated. The turkey was Boar's Head. Not worth anywhere near $18. Maybe $9. Plus the counter lady's attitude sucked. Welcome to the hood! Never going back. read more

So good so so good quick pick up. Neighborhood gem. Options. Alittle pricey but worth it
