    My husband and i found this shop on Instagram (we're foodies). We both love trying different places, but this was on another level. We drove almost 2 hours and it was totally worth it. I had the Mac Attack, which is basically chicken cutlet w/ macaroni and cheese on a hero. I had to bring it home because i couldn't finish it. My husband had their new sandwich (Jay Jay). It was fresh, filling, and delicious. Definitely recommend!!

    Takeout order - no napkins in the bag or etc. Counter help was standard, do their job accurately and the food was prepared in a timely fashion. The Philly (Cheese steak) had fresh ingredients and tasted fine - but, there's better and not just in Philadelphia. The Manhattan (Roast Beef) was where the these Heroes hit a home run!! The gravy and sandwich flavors hit the sweet spot! I would certainly try them again!

    Idk what brand meat they use but it's bad Their American is the worst I've ever had Thick cut slices of 3rd party meat on bread that was boring And extremely pricey especially for such a low tier sandwhich

    Ordered a 6 foot Italian hero because I was too lazy to grill at my bbq. The family loved the sandwich and everybody got to take home left overs. It was still tasty the next day after I re-toasted the bread . I will def be returning .

    sandwiches are good. but I ordered chicken fingers that were something like 13 bucks and for the standard 4 of them. pretty weak. which didn't taste good on top of that. stick to the sandwiches and the waffle fries

    Very disappointing. I have been a customer for about 9 years now and it's all been down hill. The prices are insane and the quality has become poor. I'm charged 20$ last night for just a sandwich and fries, the meat was clearly low grade, the hot sandwich was so cold, my cheese didn't even melt and the only things in the bag were the fries and sandwich. No napkins, no ketchup, nothing. The Manhattan with Dijon sauce used to be my favorite sandwich, it's sad that I can't get the same sandwich anymore, it was my comfort food.

    I recently ordered a 3 foot hero (American and Chicken/Bacon) and it was fantastic! I've ordered hero for years from other stores and there is no comparison. I would HIGHLY recommend ordering from Hometown Heroes as you will not be disappointed.

    Hometown catered our party and had the best price around. The heroes were delicious & salads. The place is new looking & immaculately clean, which is not common for delis.

    Go Here!! Try It!! Thats the best suggestion! This place makes crazy good food! Try the Mac Attack.... it is sick how good this hero is!! People are very friendly, very courteous, and FAST! Call ahead and they will have it for you!! Parking is a bit of a pill, but dont let that deter you! If headed to beach or park and want some take along food, perfect!! Give them a shot.... in this day and age, hard to find good food, good service all in same place!! Very nice place!!

    We used Hometown Heroes catering for my daughter’s first birthday party and they were amazing! We ordered chicken fingers and French fries for the kids, salads, and the chicken cutlet hero with mozzarella and roasted red peppers. When I arrived five minutes early, they had the order ready to go and the staff helped me load everything into my car. Everyone loved the food and we’ll be sure to use them again for events in the future!

    Hometown Heroes is the spot to go for heroes. Forget subway or whatever place sells heroes and forget they exist. Every sandwich I've had from Hometown (which is almost all of them) was great. They're all generously portioned with quality ingredients. And that bread... I'm not sure if it's made in-house or sourced elsewhere, but they use the best bread I've ever had from a sandwich shop. I don't think I've ever had any of their sides except the good mozzarella sticks which were good, but I can't comment on the rest of them or their salads. Service is good, always greeted upon entering and leaving, the staff is always nice to deal with. The location is pretty good being fairly central to the greater West Islip area. Parking is kinda rough, especially on the side of the building.. I drive a low car and can't even get into the lot because you're basically driving over a curb.

    I have ordered from here multiple times and have always been so extremely happy with the quality of the sandwiches/ food. I finally stopped in today to order and met the people behind the counter. This family was so extraordinarily wonderful in their spirit, customer service and care. My little son was running around and they even gave him some cookies 🍪. A well deserved and homely review for a special place with great people.

    Great heroes with exactly what I like. They load them up too, this is no skimpy Subway hero. Nice people.

    Great spot for awesome heros. Stopped in for a little lunch on the go. The staff was super friendly, showed me the regulars and specials and answered the questions I had. I ended up ordering the Alamo hero. The bread was super soft, the chicken was perfect and the combo of flavors was amazing. The size of the hero for the price was very good as well. Highly recommend 👌

    I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese salad, but felt mediocre about the overpriced Greek salad. I will further try other menu items and if I am pleasantly surprised, I’ll bump this restaurant up to 5 stars :)

    Ordered one of their catering packages for a party and was so happy I did. The food was ready at the time I requested and staff helped my husband load the food in the car. All my guests raved about the food. Everything was delicious. Would definitely use again to cater another party

    By far my favorite sandwich place in the area. I'm so glad I randomly found them on grubhub a while back. I was so used to getting ripped off by Jersey Mike's and their tiny sandwiches. This place has a huge selection of sandwiches as well as a build your own option. They also offer salads and wraps. Sandwiches are very large and filling and see stuffed with meat and other toppings that you could want.

    Ordered Italian stallion and it was awful. They're supposed to toss chicken in dressing instead cover my bread in Italian dressing before adding chicken. Soggy and wet, falling apart and disgusting. Tator tots were cold by the time we got or food and chicken tenders were rubber like they were microwaved. NEVER AGAIN!!!

  • 5/5 Jon L. 2 years ago on Google
    If your looking for a local town hero joint with stuffed full sandwiches with tuns of flavor and fills you up, this is the right place. I would argue one of the best hero joints on longisland.

  • 1/5 Pat Del P. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered a simple hero. When I got home it wasn't correct. Its very disappointing when someone can't follow simple instructions. Cold cuts didn't seem to be a good quality. Unfortunately my incorrect hero was to salty to eat. I had to throw it out.

    The subs are HUGE and delicious! Toasted bread on hot heroes adds nice crunch. Very flavorful. Offer pickup and delivery. Very friendly staff and clean facility. Ordered the "Fursh" & "Buffalo Chicken" cutlet heroes. Chicken cutlets are made to order. Fresh, crispy and juicy. Also tried the tater tots with loaded sour cream on the side. It's mixed with shredded cheddar cheese and chives. Amazing!

    Ordered the Italian with the works (no onions) on ChowNow. The sandwich was ready fast, made perfectly and delicious! The italian had great flavor and includes pepper ham, and cappy, which adds a little spice to the sandwich. The meats were high quality and the veggies were super fresh. One of the things I love about this place is the bread they use for their sandwiches. It is reminisent of the breads from White House subs in Atlantic City. Soft, white and dense. AND, the folks in the place were nice!
