CASH ONLY! very small menu. not a lot of options here at all, especially if you dont eat meat. i love the bread, which is made in house. i grabbed a half tuna, and it was large, cut in half. easily sharable or just have it by yourself/ the tuna is just tuna and mayo. a little bit of a let down. thankfully you can add toppings. shredded ice burg, oil+vinegar, peppers, pickles etc. good, basic, but i hope they can add another non meat option one day. read more

This is my new favorite sandwich spot! The space is warm and cozy and the staff is SO nice! I always get #4 with provolone cheese and it is my favorite! The bread is so soft and fresh. The sandwich is also huge for $13.50 and definitely can feed two people. This is my new go-to spot in Jersey City and I definitely recommend this place! read more

The price. The size. The taste. These sandwiches are massive, they sure do pile on the meat! I recommend the "Out Hero", its only $10 but can honestly be for two people or two meals read more

Roast beef sandwich (number 7) was pretty good. They REALLY stuffed it with the beef, if you're into that. Very jersey-mikes typa flavor.

I have been coming to our Hero's since my years back in High School! From 1994-1998, our Hero's was our after school place to be! The owner is absolutely amazing and so very nice and friendly. And he still is the owner!! It definitely brings back memories every time I come back and have his amazing and fresh sandwiches. I definitely recommend! The bread and meat are always so fresh and just the right amount of meat. You have the option to also add your choice of chips and a drink and the prices are reasonable! You can either sit down and eat or take it to go. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge but that can always be worked around. I highly recommend! read more

There are no misses here. You can literally order anything on the menu, or any way you want to mix and match your sub, and it is top tier. People dont stay in business for over 50 years by accident. This is a staple in jersey city, especially to mcginley square and my alma mater, Hudson Catholic HS. Parking sucks, but you will make it work somehow some way if you know whats good for you ! read more

Excellent sandwich deli located in Mcginley Square section of Jersey City. I haven't been here in a long time and stopped here during work for a sandwich. The food hasn't changed and it's still very good. It's a small shop with a small selection of sandwiches. The cold cuts were fresh and the whole hero is huge. There was no way I could finish whole sandwich in one sitting. If your not that big of an eater the half hero will be fine for you. Best part about the sandwich was the bread. You can tell it's baked fresh daily. Great flavor and complimented the sandwich nicely. Service was polite and quick. There is a small dining room in back if you want to eat there. Place has been here forever and is still excellent. read more

Wow, definitely an old school hero shop with quality meats, delicious bread, and fresh toppings! This is a no nonsense shop that's all about the food quality, great value, and personal service. I'd highly recommend the signature "Our Hero" and go from there. In a word, Excellent! read more

Stopped by Our Hero after a visit to the Statue of Liberty. The hoagie/hero was amazing! Highly recommend! Great food and great price! read more

Sandwiches are always delicious. The bread is fresh and the sandwich fixings are more than adequate. Yum!

In a word, delicious. 4.5 Fresh bread made every day and then top with amazing toppings. I got the "Our Hero" which is piled high with roast beef, turkey, ham, cappacola, and provolone cheese. The owner, I'm assuming was friendly and helpful and his staff were quick and attentive. You may have to get past the age of the exterior and small space inside, but do yourself a favor and just go get an "Our Hero", you'll thank me later! Rating: 4.5 read more

Very good sandwich. Would definitely come back if I were in the area. Cash only, essentially no parking (street parking, but you'd be lucky to get it), small Mom & Pop kinda place. The line was out to the street when I got there, so I knew it must be good. read more

Our Hero is a part of my childhood. As a kid my grandma would always get me a sandwich when she had to go to the bank in Mcginley Square. The place still looks the same. It's an old school sub shop nothing fancy but man o man are those sandwiches good!! The best meat and bread still to this day!!! My moms senior group caters their sandwiches and salads for meetings. So happy they are still a part of the JC community. read more

Super fresh, always great service and affordable. I've been coming here since college and it's always been my favorite sandwich shop in JC!

Great place! Super small and almost unnoticeable until you see a line out of the door. It does take a while, but I do understand why after going inside.. they really make sure you're getting what you want and are patient. I ordered ahead of time and they had the sandwiches ready earlier than the time they had given me. Definitely will be visiting again! I had the turkey and cheese with their basic mayo salt pepper oregano oil vinegar and lettuce tomato onion- DELICIOUS. read more

Fantastic service! They were super nice women in there!!! Loved the fresh bread and the amount of meat that was put on the sandwich for the price. I'm not local to this place but my only suggestion would to get better quality meat. read more

Sandwich still fire .. Mayo both sides lettuce tomato oil and vinegar on whatever sandwich you get yummy...

Imagine Subway but with super fresh ingredients, high quality turkey meats and a sweet older gentleman serving it up while giving you a history lesson about the store as well (been here since the '60's). This is no Italian deli, so don't channel 2nd St. Deli, Vito's or Luca Brasi's here, this was just a simple, fresh sandwich that rings in at $4.44 (turkey & cheese). Everything is hand sliced in front of you as you order and the shredded lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and crisp. No fresh mutz or roasted red peppers here, just a simple sub sandwich for a simple girl on a simple Saturday. This is definitely a solid option for those living in JSQ & McGinley Square areas who want to avoid all the greasy chains and Latin food spots. I'd most certainly come again. read more

Living in Jersey City for many years, I just never knew about this place. I went here for lunch because of the reviews of other Yelpers. Its located next to the farmer's grocery stand on Bergen Ave and across from Hudson Catholic High School. There's no parking so you have to find a meter spot or one of the off street parking on Glenwood Ave. You could almost miss it if you don't pay attention, no flashy signs just a very good sandwich shop. Inside has about a dozen tables or so. Also, this is a cash only place so make sure you have cash with you. They have chips and sodas on the side available for purchase as well. Looking at the board I see that they have all the deli meats that you can choose from. Their items includes ham, salami, turkey, capicola, tuna, roast beef, and others. The meats are freshly sliced as you order not packaged like some other franchise sandwich stores. The vegetables are also freshly thin sliced and offer extra toppings like sweet peppers. My selection was the number 10 "Our Hero" sandwich that includes roast beef, turkey, capicola, and salami. I topped it off with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, vinegar, sweet peppers, and oregano. The moment I bit into the sandwich it was quite tasty, better than Blimpie and Subway. Overall, I enjoyed the sandwich and will be coming back again. read more

Our Hero's - Number 10 our Hero special. Roast beef, turkey, salami , and capicola. - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

4.5 stars YUM!!!!!! Let's discuss. When you see the store front... you really don't expect much right? Inside, you got the old-fashioned menu boards and cafeteria style seating. They have a great selection of fresh deli meats and fresh breads. You can choose from a whole or half size sub and of course all the different fillings/toppings. I particularly enjoyed the hot/sweet peppers and raw onions. I had the honey turkey, which they sliced to a medium thickness and jam-packed it between the wheat bread. Of course I had to have my oil and vinegar drenched inside as well. This sub CANNOT be compared to Subway or Blimpie. It's WAY better and honestly cheaper than those chain spots. I appreciate a good sandwich/sub and this place definitely hits the spot! Will definitely return. FYI: street parking and CASH ONLY! read more

The subs I've been looking for. As someone who had made subs for 11 years I finally have a place that compares

I've been going there for almost 30years. I now take my daughter and friends. We ALL love the sandwiches! I wish that it stays open for longer hours. read more

Unfortunately afterwards my partner and I got sick. This sandwich was the first thing I ate that day. I thought maybe it was a fluke and tried finishing it but got sick again after finishing another slice. It's a shame but probably the last time we will go there read more

BEST SUB SHOP in Jersey City hands down. Ok, I am pretty biased being that I've been coming here since I was at St. Aedan's (SAS fo life!). And pretty much thru out my childhood. Truly a hidden gem and staple of Jersey City. FOOD: Generous amt of meat & cheese Shredded Lettuce - a plus! (Hair-like thin) Onions, tomatoes always fresh Oil/vinegar, mayo, oregano --- the works! Hot peppers --- tangy with a kick Huge chips selection INSIDE: Line moves QUICK Cash only --- worth the ATM visit Seating in the back STAFF is pleasant---Owner is awesome. ***Subs are always fresh and delicious here. Worth the hunt for parking if your driving. Spread the Our Hero love! Thanks for all the years of satisfying my sub cravings. See you soon! read more

Easily the best subs I've ever had and nothing even comes close. My older brother and sister used to take me here since I was a toddler, so this place has huge value to me. I would even come during my days off in college because I missed it so much. The bread is really the winner here. It's hard to get subs with soft bread (I know, it's debatable bc some people love that crunchy Italian bread) and get it somewhere that packs in the meat and cheese. Al does not skimp out ever! And he has a wide selection of meats and cheeses so you can really customize to your heart's content. And he cuts very thin so when you get that first bite, it's easy to chew. My siblings also go for the ham, salami and cheese. We do mayo both sides (important: he uses heavy mayo so it's extra delicious) with lettuce, tomato, all the seasonings, extra vinegar and oil. Even if you opt for the wheat bread, it's so incredibly fluffy and delicious. In some cases, I prefer it over the white. The price is fair for what you get in the area. Freshly off the slicer and you get so much of it. Even my sister who hasn't been in a while was so convinced she found a better place in Englewood, but when I dropped off her usual order from here, she agrees that it's still the best. Our Heroes is where you get the most nostalgic subs, true to the core of what fresh, quality mom and pop shops can offer. The lines can be long during after school hours and weekends, but you know it's worth it. I wish I was around more often since I work in the city and their hours are the usual 9-6 and I never make it in time to get sandwiches. But for what it's worth, I'll never get tired of it. read more

Fresh as always. Good amount of meat and cheese. The bread is always great. The staff is friendly and you simply cannot find the better sandwich around. read more

Our Hero's - Love this place! Been faithful here since my college days and I always come around when I'm in the area - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This place gets so many bonus points for being a classic mom and pop shop that serves up a solid deli sub with genuine kindness. Went in and got a #4 and it was all around what you would expect. The bread was soft and chewy, the meats fresh (although nothing spectacular, but hey it's a hero shop, not gourmet Italian import extravaganza), toppings fresh and service awesome. I got the sweet and hot peppers (couple cents extra) and it was just perfect for the price. Great value for sure. The owner/hero maker behind the counter is quiet but there's just a real sense of kindness and respect. He may not be the chatter box but he treats you with the classic "Ms" or "Ma'am" without any phony-ness...and that is hard to come by these days. Reminds me of a real bygone days. Bottom line, if you want a solid sub at a great price and fresher than the chains, definitely come here!!! Will certainly be back for any future sub cravings!!! read more

Our Hero's - Whole #4 hero with provolone (your choice of cheese) - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I've been living in the area for almost 7 years and just recently found this place thanks to Yelp. My go to sub place is usually subway (I know boring), however I wanted to try something new so I looked up hero sandwiches and found Our Hero's. Let's start with the bread. They bake their bread fresh everyday. It was soft with a nice golden color. FYI, they also have whole wheat bread for those who are health conscious. Lol I settled for their "Our Hero" sandwich. It consisted of turkey, ham, salami, roast beef and cappacola along with your choice of cheese (I chose pepper jack). It did not have that synthetic taste I get from subway subs (which is subjective). At first I wanted to order a whole sandwich but settled for the half. Boy am I glad I did! By the time I finished 3/4 of the sandwich I was stuffed! I enjoyed every bit of that sandwich and will definitely be a regular. read more

Meat and cheese sliced to order, fresh veggies, and homemade bread- all ingredients that should result in a great sandwich. I got a good sandwich that was pretty enjoyable, but it wasn't as great as I was expecting. They don't have as much variety as the local sub shops I've been to- no smoked turkey (to their credit, they do have 3 other kinds of turkey), no cheddar (what!?), and no pepper jack. They do still offer a few different meat and cheese options as well as different kinds of veggies. You can order your sandwich hot or cold. My turkey sub with provolone, sweet peppers, and lettuce was tasty. Nothing exceptional that would make me coming back, but for sure a better option than Subway, Blimpie, etc. I've tried to come here a few times before and they were always closed (it was usually later in the evening around 7 or 8) so I have no idea what their hours are but I do know that they are open on weekends. No delivery as far as I can tell and not much seating inside, but a great option if you are looking for a quick meal that is cheap but still good. My half sub was actually pretty big and was under $5! Who needs $5 footlongs? read more

Sooooooo good. I had to do the smacking my lips and kissing my fingers gesture after I devoured my sandwich. The sandwiches: we got the varsity (Turkey+Bacon) and alumni (Hot pastrami+Cheese). The meat is moist and tender and packed into the sandwich. No dry rubbery cold cuts here! The bread is pillow soft but holds all the weight of the ingredients well without collapsing on itself. No soggy bread here! All the accompaniments were fresh and full of flavor. No watery lettuce or bland tomatoes! Have to add sweet peppers to your sub. Just trust me! The shop: It is a hole in the wall shop with limited space especially due to covid. You might have to wait along the street a bit. There are only two people assembling the sandwiches so try to have some common sense and be patient. Assembling a GOOD sandwich takes TIME to make. And it is well worth the wait!!!! Economical. Delicious. Local. Way better then blimpies or subways. They may not have as much variety as the menu is very to the point. But it makes up for everything with the quality. I'd rather have a great sub with 5 ingredients then a stale and soggy sub with 20 ingredients. Support Our Heroes!!!!! THEY SLICE THE MEAT BY THE ORDER. THATS WHY IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME. DUH. read more

someone recommended this place had great subs so we went. Was a bit out the way since I live downtown but was well worth it. Its cash only but delicious. read more

This place makes cheap and tasteful deli sandwiches. It is a mom and pop shop and the workers are very nice. In my opinion they make the best sandwiches in my neighborhood. I love ordering the hot pastrami, with a dose of sun chips! One negative is they only accept cash unfortunately. read more

UPDATE: I come here very often, since my job is luckily down the street. Fortunately I don't live that close, otherwise I would spend all my money here! I am still amazed at how fresh everything is and how fast these people work. This is a mom & pop shop to the fullest. The lines are long depending on the time, but well worth the wait. FYI - this place is cash only! read more
