What the hell, Yelp?
I will admit that a four star rating is a bit generous for this place. Maybe I'm biased because I live nearby, or because the guy who works here may be nicer than Jesus. But what's with all the hate?
American Hero does not have a comprehensive deli. If you want fancy sandwiches, obscure bagel types, lunch entrees, etc. then you want Pumpernickel Bagel right next door.
But if you want a bodega-type sandwich with deli meat of any kind, then you can get it here. Or a solid cup of coffee. Or lottery tickets. Or one of those giant cases of Powerade that will serve as a beacon to future civilizations.
And seriously, the service here is unfathomably nice. The main guy that works at the Hero lights up when he sees regulars, and is always asking about everyone's life. Last weekend he threw a bunch of free candies in our bag and wished us a glorious day.
So if you want to avoid this place because of the bad reviews, which are upset about things like not selling meatballs (?), then you're missing a chance to stock up on nourishment for the trip to SPACE WOMB.
My friend & I walked in after a taxing vintage shopping experience at the outlet across the bridge. We were looking to sit and eat and rest our barking dogs (feet). As I trudged up the stairs I heard my friend asked if they had seating. Young Guy behind the counter said no. She pointed and said "so what is that?". I walked in and peeped and saw some tables and chairs. I then clarified that we were looking for a place to sit down. He said "oh I thought you meant CDs!". We laughed it up and got straight to business.
My friend ordered a ham & cheese. I am indecisive af so he suggested the pastrami, corn beef & swiss cheese. At first I said no but he kept pointing me in the direction of that sandwich so I just got it. Best decision I made that day. I used their bathroom located in the rear near the tables. When I came out his mother (my assumption) asked me what I wanted on my sandwich. I'm not big on hot sandwiches so I don't know what to put on them. I just asked for red onions. The guy suggested the spicy mustard and I saw oil & vinegar when his mother reached for the spicy mustard so I asked for that too. That sandwich was amazing! I will definitely be back. I miss their sammichs already!
Also Young Guy behind the counter is extremely nice and patient. After he helped with my indecisive sammich struggle, he came around the counter to assist me with my hand sanitizer struggle. I could not get any out of the machine near the door to save my life. I felt so stupid! I do think I was overcharged for the Wise honey BBQ chips that were clearly marked as $.99. Didn't make a stink about it.
