"My Hero" has been a Hero Lovers icon for many years! The variety of hero's are endless and the new owners have been keeping up with the times and adding some trendy new varieties to their menus! However, one of my all time favorites "Roasted Pork, Broccoli Rabe with melted mozzarella" was better than before! Today was the first time I ordered it that it was not soggy from the broccoli rabe. Each ingredient was perfectly placed with symmetry. Every bite was perfection from start to finish! It was such a delight that I had to take a pic after taking my initial bite so that I could let the new owners know how much I enjoyed it! So Delicious, you gotta try it!

I normally don't do food reviews. But I just had an amazing hero the other day. They have a new semolina bread that is the best I ever had. I had too stop and snap a picture. This chicken cutlet fresh mozzarella with cherry peppers is so damn good.

I had the pleasure of visiting My Hero restaurant today, which has recently undergone a change in ownership. Excited to see what the new management had in store, I decided to try their renowned Bang Bang Shrimp sandwich. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delightful! As someone who has been a loyal customer for years, I was relieved to find that the restaurant has maintained its exceptional quality and taste. It brings me immense joy to see that My Hero is still thriving and continues to deliver the same incredible culinary experience.

Bread and food very FRESH and soo tasty! The champ and eggplant hero's are both served cold, which I didn't realize! Service is quick accurate !

My Hero is an old school spot with old school charm, and it's a forever CLASSIC! I've been coming here for quite some time, it's basically a Long Island institution, but last night we stopped by since it's been a hot second, and the sandwiches were just as iconic as ever. We shared their famous chicken club with melted provolone (you will love that twist), and the breaded chicken cutlets, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon make this club the cult favorite that it is. (I'm all about the bacon for the crunchy, textural, flavorful contrast.) We also shared their Italian sub, aka The Champ, which is filled with Italian meats along with 'the works.' You guys, if you do anything, savor the WORKS. Their blend of shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, vinegar, and oregano is absolutely everything. (I like letting it sit for a bit so the bread gets soggy from all the oil and vinegar goodness, too.) Honestly, I could see having a BLT with 'the works' and being one happy camper, but I digress...LOL. If anyone is looking for an authentic, high quality deli, look no further than My Hero in Merrick. They are a staple through and through.

You haven't had a hero until you've had a my hero hero. They're bread is my favorite hero bread anywhere and everywhere! This place is a no frills place. They seem like a old hole in a wall place, but it's part of their charm. Their menu is small but big on quality. The chicken club is the best on the island, hands down! So simple but the best flavor, best quality on the best bread. Second favorite is the champ! And they make their heroes so that nothing ends up being soggy...well unless you get one with gravy...but that's expected. They are quick to get your orders out. It is a cash establishment. But they do have an atm. They have picnic tables outside and very limited seating inside. You can park in the back or on the street. And recently they got access for customers to park in the carvel parking lot!! That huge! If you've been a long time patron, like me, then you know what a years long battle that has been haha

Seems like My Hero has been a pretty big local spot for a long time and I've been wanting to try it for a while. With that in mind, I was able to finally get their heroes a few times over the past year. The place is very much a grab and go type of place that is small and cash only. A good thing I've noticed is that their prices seem to include tax. The sandwich I've been getting is the 'chicken club', which has chicken cutlet, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo ($13). I usually substitute honey mustard for the mayo though. I pretty much have nothing but good things to say about the sandwich. First off, the full size sandwich is huge - enough for 2 meals probably. And that's exactly how I like my heroes. The chicken cutlet is breaded nicely and fairly thin. They pack a lot of it on there and the bread also has been pretty fresh every time. It all comes together perfectly and definitely one of my favorite cheat meals in the rotation. The only other deli on LI that I frequent occassionally is Cherry Valley and I think the sandwich at My Hero delivers significantly more quality and quantity at the same price. So I'd give it 5 stars for the time being.
