After hitting the gym, I was craving a sandwich and stumbled upon My Hero on Yelp. With all the good reviews, I put the destination into my map. It's on a main road and I believe there is parking behind but I snagged a spot along the road and went in. The deli itself has an old school vibe to it. There is no seating inside but there is some outside. It was cold so I devoured my sandwich in the car. I crafted my own hero while my bf ordered the Cuban. Mine had chicken cutlet, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, pickles and Russian dressing. The weight alone to the subs was insane! And quite frankly if you get a large consider yourself fed for at least two meals. The food was soo fresh, delicious and you can tell they do homemade chicken cutlets which is a huge plus. The Cuban was also really good and unique in flavor! The service is fast and I want to note they only take cash so make sure you have some before stopping in. I can't wait to come back here and try something else (or knowing how good what I got was, maybe the same haha). read more

My Hero - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

I have been going there for years and the sandwiches are delicious! Everyone that works there are friendly

Bought a $85 - 4 foot catering sub, the condiments provided wasn't nearly enough for the size so asked for some extra. They proceeded to charge me $2 per extra container. Wasn't asking for a crazy amount just to justify size of the sub, hate nickel and diming esp when spending that amount. Can tell new ownership going down hill- plus they changed the honey mustard which blows!!! read more

Best hero place hands down Go to place for both hot and cold subs Certainly worth waiting in line for the delicious food read more

Messed up my order after repeating it back too me, somehow gave me onions when i didn't order them.

A shadow of its former self. The sandwiches are average, at best. Definitely a downfall under the new ownership. You'd get a better sandwich at Stop and Shop- go grab a premade one. read more

Come on! No place better Line out the door at 11:00 am! Try any sandwich there Amazing bread and service read more

Amazing, family run business!! Food is the freshest as they are cooking it to keep up with the crowd!! And, yes, it's crowded!! But the line moves fast as they have many behind the counter preparing customers orders... A hometown eatery with a few indoor and outdoor seating that we visit sometimes more than once a week!!! Chicken Club is a must try. Excellent choices of sandwiches and abundantly packed with meat, served relatively quickly especially if you can get through the endless busy signal on the phone when pre-ordering, My Hero does sandwiches the old fashion way, which translates to the right way,great business model just don't look for a hero for Sunday football games in the fall because they packem in all week long and have no need to be open on God's day!!! My go to is Large Roast beef melt with melted mozzarella on a garlic bread hero with extra meat and extra garlic I promise you that you won't be disappointed by this or any other sandwiches in this joint! From the prices to the taste 100% Hands-down the best hero spot in Long Island if you're in the area of Bellmore or even in Nassau/Suffolk area try and make your way over here to get a hero this deli is number 1 on the charts The place to go to get a sandwich in North Bellmore. It's got a nice, local deli-style interior with seating both indoors and out. Get here early, though- it's not uncommon for the line to be out the door, regardless of the season, and people WILL wait all year round, that's how you know you're getting quality food Great deli with phenomenal food and large portions! Can't wait to come back and try out the rest. BTW it's cash only but there is an ATM on site if needed. read more

All the hero's are very tasty. My favorite is the Chicken Club. You can taste the chicken is great quality.

My family and I have been catering and coming to my hero ever since we moved to the island! They're one of the main reasons I don't want to move out of Merrick! The best sandwiches and Heros you'll ever have in your life! read more

My Hero - a birthday cake in the shape of a donut - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

See all

i got the steak hero. it was delicious and enormous. the service was great. brought it out to me at the curb i will be back read more

My third time here and I'll probably be back as the other sandwiches for my family come out good but I ask for "shaved" cuts for the meat every single time and they never come out shaved not even thin. In fact it's always thick. I don't know why that part is so hard. I see them slicing fresh cold cuts. It's just a slight turn of the dial! Look at my photo. It's like they put Lunchables in the hero!! read more

My Hero - Thick slices that I specifically asked not to do. - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Really good tuna salad wrap. They even cut it in half, so I could split with my mom (it was late and I didn't want a whole), put onions just in my half. Excellent service, really nice and cute looking store. Seating out front was nice too. read more

Been going to this establishment for quite some time and the last few times it has been very underwhelming. Prices have gone up considerably and the quality has gone down. Just threw out a BLT that had bread that was saturated. Old lettuce mealy tomato and undercooked bacon. It's been a staple in the community and I hope they fix their is read more

This place is a mess they say open to 7pm I get to the shop at 6:20 and is closed. If you gays change your hours you should let your customers know. Also the phone gets disconnected at 6pm what a joke this place is I'll will never come back. read more

The best ! A hidden gem I have been coming to my hero for years you get exactly what you ask for great quality price and atmosphere highly recommended read more

The new owners have ruined My Hero and are clearly only focused on making money!! The heroes are noticeably smaller and thinner. They also switched their honey mustard to KRAFT. I will no longer be going here and I've been a customer since birth. Heartbreaking. read more

Absolutely the best sandwiches around! People come from near and far for these amazing creations. And the prices, so reasonable! My hero is awesome across the board read more

If you want a Hero Sandwich , this is the place to order one. One problem is street parking.9

The goat... I said THE GOAT. Can't go wrong with any item on the menu. Just make sure you bring cash.

I've been a customer for decades. It's been my go-to for parties, days at the beach, or just for a quick bite. Unfortunately, under new ownership nearly everything has gone downhill. The bread used to be one of the best I've ever had and now you can barely chew it. The sandwiches are significantly smaller and thinner for the same price. The ingredients and deli meats seem to have changed for the worse also. I truly hope the new owners reverse course and bring this shop back to its old glory as it was the best out there before these changes. read more

best hero shop on Long Island hands down, no other place comes close and now they have parking so it's a home run no more crazy lines, they have a ton of workers behind the counter now, it keeps getting better and better the chicken is back to being soft and juicy read more

My Hero - Chicken and eggplant parm combo - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

I'm so disheartened to have My Hero purchased by different owners and have the quality plummet. The honey mustard was the BEST of all time and the switched from an artisan honey mustard to kraft. It's just not the same and I won't be going back unless they change back to full size subs and the real honey mustard. read more

Chicken Club. Doesn't get any better. Cash only spot, great local deli, with that old school deli vibe. Nothing hits quick like a chicken club with extra bacon. Thin cut Fried chicken cutlet, a perfect hoagie with Mayo lettuce and tomato. perfect for any day of the week. Expect a line if you go around lunch time. Enjoy it read more

Few friends and I went here and got some spicy chicken sandwiches and chicken clubs. Amazing sandwiches that are huge and priced reasonably. Staff was very nice as well, and will definitely be coming back here in the future read more

We have been coming here for years... 12 to be exact. Today as running around hubby asked if we could stop in... big mistake!! HUGE MISTAKE!!! When we got home to eat the turkey with lettuce and tomato sandwich we knew immediately that something was very different... first the turkey is now shredded so they can use less... next it was awful. And I mean really really awful. Tasted like old turkey laying around for a few days to many... No flavor at all. Then my hubby took some of his side salad...his words "this is disgusting"!! We then threw it all out. We called our son and asked if by any chance the owner sold since he knows him. Yup he did!! We will not be going back for terrible food and we are now both feeling sick. If this place lasts with this new owner I will be surprised. read more

Food poisoning from this place , feel soo sick after eating Italian sandwich :( never again from this place .

I like the hero I got. The only thing is they don't take card but they have a atm outside the door

Run don't walk, the best sandwiches on the island. The service is amazing and everyone is very kind. I've had a variety of their sandwiches and none disappoint. If you want an amazing sandwich with great atmosphere and great people catering to you, My Hero is the place to go to. read more

An 85 degree October day called for a visit to the beach. Lunch on the beach seemed even better. My Hero is located about 1 mile off the Southern State Pkwy, so it was an easy detour while heading to Jones Beach. Arriving during prime lunch time, there were people eating outside and a line inside. While the line was about 10 people long, it seemed to move at a good pace. Sandwiches are offered in 2 sizes, small and large. Let me just say the small is by no means small and at $5.50, its a much better deal than a $5 foot-long. The Champ is an Italian cold cut sandwich; get it with the Works which adds lettuce, tomato, onion, salt & pepper, oil and vinegar. A well made sandwich with high quality ingredients. Delicious. The Chicken Club, was outstanding. Moist chicken cutlets with crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato. I asked for hot sauce to be added and it was amazing. Sandwiches are bursting with ingredients and by no means skimpy in any way. The bread is soft and chewy which makes for quite an enjoyable eating experience. This is a great spot and I'll be sure to hit it up again for my next beach day. read more

My husband and I split a Chicken Club (Chicken Cutlets, Lettuce,Tomato, Mayo & Bacon) with the works. Super crispy and definitely filling enough for 2. Not quite Sal, Chris, and Charlie's status but a great option for locals! read more

My Hero - Chicken Club - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Absolutely best hero on Long Island ! Perfection, they way they layer the meats and toppings is mouth watering and perfect every time. Worth any wait as they can get busy. read more

Excellent food, only complaint is the parking but other than that it's worth every penny!

A must if you are in the area. No sandwich is a bad sandwich. Try the Chicken Supreme with the works. You will not be disappointed. Bring cash because credit and debit cards are not accepted. read more

This establishment has been here for decades. They sure know how to make a hero. Their salads are wonderful also.

Did they change their bread? Seemed like regular Italian bread last week, not the very soft bread they've had.

Best local hero shop around. Not too much of one thing and not enough of something else. They also support the local community. Chicken club, the champ, all American and chicken cutlets mozzarella red peppers is another hero to die for. The line might seem long at lunch but it moves and everyone is treated respectfully. Absolutely my go to place for quality food read more

Amazing sandwiches. Best bread and always fresh. The go to place when we have out of state visitors.
