Love this sandwich shop. So many great options to choose from and they also have a handful of Italian grocery selections. We’ve gotten a bunch of sandwiches over the past two years, but our favorites are the Cubano panini, mortadella sandwich, any roasted turkey hero and the porchetta w/ broccoli rabe. Amazing spot. And one subtle thing I’ve noticed after picking up an order - the owner always says thank you. A sincere thank you for ordering from his business and you can tell he means it. It took me a few visits to realize this gesture, but now that I’ve heard it, I really appreciate it. Go out of your way to come here. It’s worth your time.

I work in the neighborhood and sometimes I like to treat myself to their sandwiches. They are a bit pricey but you pay for what you get. All of their sandwiches are quite big, always fresh and extremely delicious. The service is very nice too! Just got the Nashville Spicy Chicken Sandwich and it’s the best Chicken Sandwich I’ve ever had.

Yup. Sam Anderson is spot on. Best. Nashville. Fried. Chicken. Sandwich. In brooklyn. Hey, you gotta have a wee bit of confidence to name your place Brooklyn Hero Shop. It’s either a huge hit or a massive failure worthy of icarus. Call this a hit. Big hit. While I agree on the other posters assessment of the fried chicken sandwich, that’s not my favorite go to. That spot is reserved for an excellent shaved porchetta, broccoli rabe sandwich with hot peppers and melted provolone (and I wasn’t even born in south Philly). Run, don’t walk to get sandwiches here. Next up for us? Pressed Cubano and a righteous Buffalo chicken. The decisions. The decisions. Maybe it’s the bread (as in any great sandwich). And maybe it’s the porchetta (who doesn’t love expertly prepared pork product?). I can’t tell, they are neck and neck. One note, though, the standard sandwich has a pesto on the hero, something that I’m not as much a fan of. It tastes good, but it’s just not where I’d go. But it is still insanely good. Awesome place. Go now. Had to write an addendum. Just bit into the Cubano. Perfectly done, very authentic. These are some very serious sandwich dudes putting out some great stuff. It’s really hard to have a repertoire that spans Cubano to porchetta/broccoli rabe to Nashville fried and do it all so well. Bravo. Ordered again now in November. Two sandwiches. Both perfect. Turkey and avocado on a roll. Awesome mix including chopped bacon which adds the perfect salty balance. Chicken cutlet Italian hero. The Calabrian pepper aioli makes the sandwich sing. Bravo again

Delicious! They really pack these sandwiches! I got the Turkey & Avocado on Roll and my boyfriend got the Turkey Philly. The bread was so fresh and my boyfriend said they shaved the turkey right then and there. I can't wait to go back and try more! Also, the donuts are amazing!!!! The Sour Cherry Mascarpone Bomboloni is so freaking good I think about it daily.

Let’s talk business. And by business I mean Nashville hot fried chicken sandwiches. You may think, “it’s a fried chicken sandwich, it must be good, right?” Wrong. It’s better than good. It’s sock-knocking, pickle-popping good. Who knew a sandwich could be so sinfully divine? I was not prepared for the crunch-crusted chicken or billowy-bunned bread. Nor will I ever be. I’m on my couch. Sitting the way we all do after a scrumptious meal. Plopped and content. I may not move from this spot for hours. I’m okay with that — because I just had the best fried chicken sandwich of my life.

This place has next level sandwiches. The focus on high quality meat comes through so well. Hero Shop doesn’t just serve up amazing meat, they marinade it, season it and serve it in style. Their signature Porchetta & Rabe was excellent. The balancing of the additions could be tightened up. Although broccoli & pesto is a classic combination, I’d say the broccoli added little and actually detracted from the meat.

Went for lunch, not too busy, went with the Nashville chicken sandwich; $14.15. Order at the cashier, you can wait outside and when your order is ready she will call your name on this racetrack-like loudspeaker which is clear and appropriately loud. Very tasty sandwich, tabasco like hot sauce which is not overbearing with a nice slaw and chopped pickles to balance it out on a fluffy bun. Pretty wide sandwich so if you have a small mouth like me, it can get a tad messy. Very good experience and certainly looking to go back to enjoy another sandwich.

Honestly was expecting more because their prices are high. I got this fried shrimp sandwich. It was very mediocre, it lacked of flavor, the bread was so dry. It was very expensive for what it is. The service was good! The workers were nice at least.

I’ve ordered from here probably about 15-20 times, and others have noted every now and then you get stale bread and a mediocre sandwich, which is crazy for the price. Second, this shop is clearly just raising the prices and shrinking the ingredients every month, I assume until they hit a breaking point and people stop coming. Well, they officially hit it for me and I’ve stopped ordering from them. Let me know when we’re no longer paying $20 for a sandwich.

Ordered the Spicy Eggplant sandwich, Korean Fried Chicken sandwich and the Mexican salad from doordash. We were charged 19.50 for a box of lettuce and a couple slices of avocado. No tomatoes or bacon as advertised. The sandwiches were quite stale too. We've ordered from this spot in the past but everything today was stale and tasted off.
