Opinions de Mama Louisa's Hero Shoppe Brooklyn
Food was enough 😋 Tasted amazing they make great tacos 🌮
this place has so much good vibes going on in it. Really love having this place here in their new taco shop is super awesome right next to the place.
Came for the artichoke parm after reading an article about it. It did not disappoint. Indescribably delicious. Lots of delicious drinks to choose from.
We saw an article in Bon Appetit magazine about the artichoke parm hero, and we had to try it. So delicious!! The staff is really nice too. Mama Louisa's is an old-school Bklyn sandwich shop. We will be back!
Amazing sandwiches, finally got the artichoke parm and I already cannot wait to come back! The staff are super friendly and kind. Classic Brooklyn deli!
Recently started working in the neighborhood and found this place via Grubhub. The food is really tasty and good size portions. I highly recommend it!
These are the best sandwiches in the neighborhood and I am a sandwich snob. If you pay attention to the bad reviews here they are written by ignorant people and riddled with spelling/grammar errors. Do not trust the bad reviews. The sandwiches are high quality - everything from the bread to portions to ingredients are 5 star.
Yes you may wait awhile so call and order ahead. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had in NYC! I recommend not going at lunch time they're super busy from all the hospital workers nearby. I feel bad for the one person working behind the counter, she's answering the phone taking orders and packing up food. Leave a tip
Decent family owned bodega/sandwich shop. Good prices, fresh sandwiches hot or cold. One of my favorite Italian sub sandwiches (although they don’t add pickles or hots to their Italian sub, it’s extra$). Order in advance around lunchtime or you’ll be waiting in line, sandwiches are made on order- I have to drive to get there but worth it. Nice folks : )
Passed this place and thought how rare it was to see a “hero shop” so I thought I’d try and it would be more respectable than a bodega sandwich. There were a lot of people in there so it seemed like a good choice now I’m realizing it was construction workers, hospital workers and transplants from all the new construction who have limited lunch choices or just don’t know any better. $12 normal hero had a strange sweet like vinegar taste that ruined the whole thing. It was mostly lettuce and there was barely any meat. The bread is also sad yoga mat bread. Overpriced and underwhelming. Maybe the hot sandwiches are better. Everyone in there works hard but its no “hero shop”.
By far the worst chicken parm I’ve ever had. The cutlet was so tough, I could barely take a bite out of it. Haven’t tried anything else, but I won’t be going again.
I used to order several times a week but all of a sudden my address, which is less than a mile away, is no longer in the area. Oh well.
I’ve been coming here since the early 2000s, back when Frank was the owner. It used to be a neighborhood staple — reliable, consistent, and worth the visit. Last week, I ordered a sandwich on a roll — first mistake: they put it on a hero. Then the bread was so hard I could barely take two bites before tossing it. I still gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe it was just an off day. Today I came back and ordered French toast with scrambled eggs and beef sausage. 1. What kind of beef sausage is this? It looked and tasted like “brown and serve” — completely unacceptable for a deli that used to take pride in quality ingredients. 2. The eggs? Nothing scrambled about them. They looked like they were meant for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich — flat, overcooked, and lifeless. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, and it’s honestly sad to say — never again. The quality has gone downhill, and it’s just not the same place anymore.
