But what…read morehappened next was not only a total surprise but an indication that this is a place that has pride in the service they provide... As I was putting my iced coffee together, I was asked if I would like my coffee wrapped with suran wrap so it will stay together and not spill during the travel. I was not expecting it and was touched that the worker cared enough to help me out so that I can enjoy my drink with minimal spillage. What a nice way to make someone's day! For that I give them 5 stars and a big ! Don't see this type of care much anymore and am glad it still exists. Definitely will stop by again when in the neighborhood. Thanks for your service!

One guy kept looking me up and down, another looked irritated before I even said anything -- overall, the vibe was uncomfortable. When I went up to order, the man at the register got annoyed because I took a moment to decide. He slammed the register shut and muttered something under his breath, which didn't help the interaction at all. I ordered the "Psycho Chicken," which sounded great on the menu -- chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella, and chipotle mayo. But the execution wasn't there. I asked for a hero and got a roll. I asked for the sauce on the side and got a sandwich completely drenched in it. The chicken wasn't sliced, so it fell apart immediately, and they forgot the bacon entirely. On top of that, I waited almost 30 minutes for a $15.50 sandwich that didn't taste good. What really threw me off, though, was what I noticed while waiting. I saw employees vaping right in front of the food, and I watched them handle money and then touch the food with the same gloves -- which makes wearing gloves pointless. On top of that, the staff seemed irritated with each other the whole time, like nobody actually wanted to be there. The place feels rundown, the service is uncomfortable, and the food didn't deliver. Based on what I experienced, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's a great combination of cold cuts that just synchronizes so well with the American cheese and oil, vinegar, spice concoction of the works. As for the hot sandwiches the eggplant parm has been my favorite. The eggplant is smooth and binds with the red sauce perfectly. Today they released a new contender for the best hot sandwich with a catchy name: The Rolling Roaster. It had roast beef soaked in Au jus enhanced with extra beef tallow blanketed with a layer of homemade cheese. The result was the juiciest roast beef with a deep beef flavor. The soft bread interior did a good job catching all of the excess juices as it was not as messy as I anticipated. Hope this stays on the regular menu as I will be adding it to my order rotation. My Hero is old school only accepting cash or checks. Along with that comes the great service and charm that makes this place what it is. In recent years they have made an improvement in the parking situation. Now you can park in the carvel lot next door.

The sandwich was the same size as always and was decently filled, though there seemed to me more ham and less roast beef or turkey than normal. The most glaring part was the taste overall - the cold cuts and cheese didn't quite taste the same, but most glaringly, the mayo did not taste like Admiration Heavy Mayo, which has always kind of what made their sandwiches really pop. Hopefully, it was just an off day, but the last time I was there, the chicken club also had some issues.

I was hungry and nothing was stopping me from going in. The outside of the building was interesting to say the least. Let's just say it stood out. Inside was a bit small. I was surprised, but there were people getting food so I know I was at the right place. Once it was my turn I looked over the options. The staff were friendly and the guy joked with me a lot. He mentioned the lasagna was still fresh. He forced my hand so I went with that. I am glad he did. The lasagna was perfect! Second to none! They used ricotta, meat and the right amount of cheese. I definitely would rate this high. My only wish is that it was closer to my home, I would go more often. But maybe it being far is a good thing. I mean, I would be there every day.
