Jimmy's Famous Heros Brooklyn Reviews
Jimmy’s - the home to huge hero’s and small cannolis! Happy birthday 🙂 you made our day last week. The food was delicious!!!
I heard great things about this place on Google Maps, and curiosity got the best of me. I tried a Chicken Parm hero with a bottle of Pepsi, and it was amazing.
The only place to get a hero in south Brooklyn. The best hero’s with the freshest ingredients. Victor and his staff are incredible.
The Best sandwich you can eat in Brooklyn! I'm serious! I try many places, but here is the Best sandwich I eat! I'm highly recommended!!
The mortadella and cheese, and the Italian Combo (hot or mild) are phenomenal! Our favorite spot to hit before spending the day at Manhattan Beach.
BEST heroes in the universe! Hands down! Amazing fresh food; all the vegetables and breads and cold cuts are top of the line quality. This place is a true GEM! Also worth noting customer service is A+++ and prices are very reasonable too! whenever I’m in the area I’ll be sure to stop on in for a sandwich.
Some friends came over to help me move and we ordered sandwiches delivered from here. Got tuna, mortadella, and Italian combo. They were all great and for whatever reason Jimmy’s actually gave us doubles of everything. I had the mortadella and it was so great! Highly recommended! Sorry the picture sucks
Tucked away in the heart of Brooklyn, there's a hidden gem where time seems to stand still, and every sandwich tells a story. For 47 years, Victor has been behind the counter, crafting the kind of sandwiches that make you rethink what you knew about food. This isn't just a deli; it's an institution, a love letter to the neighborhood. When I walked in, I told Victor I'd come back after nine years, hoping the place hadn't changed. Without missing a beat, he smiled, leaned in, and asked, "What do you feel like today?" No menu was needed. He whipped up a chicken cutlet sandwich that was somehow exactly what I needed, as if he'd known me all my life. The cutlet was perfectly crisp, the bread fresh and warm, and every bite was a symphony of flavors that only comes from decades of passion and practice. And just when I thought the experience couldn't get any better, he slid a free cannoli across the counter, accompanied by a story so rich you'd swear it had its own secret ingredients. Victor is the kind of guy who knows that food isn't just about what’s on the plate; it’s about the conversation, the shared moments, the humanity. If you ever find yourself in Brooklyn, hungry for something real, something unforgettable, you know where to go. Just ask for Victor. He’ll take care of the rest.

Finally got to try this local spot while I was in the area for work and I came in hungry and came out stuffed and had an amazing sandwich! I had the roast beef with the works and it all was assembled so well and wasn’t all over the place the meat was cooked perfectly just the right amount of toppings and the fresh mozzarella was outstanding too I wish I could have tried all the sandwiches but that will have to be another time and the cannoli was so fresh and delicious perfect amount of sweet to it definitely can’t wait to visit again and the hospitality could not be beat felt like I came home to my relatives and they made me feel welcomed and at home and they really care about the community great people definitely support them they are great!
Victor and his staff were so welcoming and helpful. We loved the whole experience. Cannoli was delicious. My family tried the original Italian, the spicy Italian, the chicken cutlet with garlic aioli, and the BLT. The sub rolls were the perfect texture of chewy and soft. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.
New review: The man who works there is very nice, down to earth and humble, took my brother here to eat, because he has not eaten here yet, and was greeted with the best services 💖 Thank you for the sandwich, macaroni and potato salad. It was all delicious. 👌🏼 Old review: My mother and I came here during the summer, My mother knew Jimmy and wanted to come since best its been years since she has been here. My mother says the sandwiches are just as they were back in days. Best hero's sandwiches in town!
I come here all the way from Hoboken to enjoy the best there is in all of Brooklyn. Jimmy’s is a true Brooklyn staple and the quality of every little ingredient is consistent year round. If you want to have the best sandwich of your life come here! Also, Jimmy is a class act gentleman, cheers to him!
Had an excellent experience here. Heard all about this place from the Internet and stopped on our way to the beach. Ordered the fried eggplant they cooked it up fresh right in front of us and it was the best sandwich we’ve ever had. Connoli was great too. Excellence service. service talk about a sandwich artist! Definitely worth trekking down there unassuming chill vibes best sandwich you’ll have all year.
Jimmy's Famous Sandwich shop makes some of the best sandwiches in the Sheepshead Bay area. The sandwich maker Vic, is such a great guy, also his wife and crew are all the best! I threw him for a loop & got a chicken cutlet & roast beef sandwich with garlic mayo lettuce tomato s&p oil &vinegar. It came delicious! Will be ordering this again for a cool summer sandwich. Disclaimer/not they were running low on bread the sandwich with rb & chicken cutlet is a half hero portion. The pics after Vic's photo are full hero pics(with plastic half pints of mac & potato salads). The salads were free gifts from this awesome shop. These guys are the best in the neighborhood, come here when you have a hankering for a well made sandwich!
