Food was very good but very overpriced for sandwiches. $20 sandwiches and you don't even get a bag of chips or anything. It should at least be a combo meal for $20. I do have to say that they do however make a great sandwich.

Okay so I never really do reviews.
But this one deserves a review.
The Basil Pizza that I got was so wonderful exceptional heavenly delicious.
Absolutely perfection.
And they have really excellent cake.
The price of sky high though.
However you have to pay for quality right....
And every penny is worth it.
They do not mess around on their pizza and the quality of their ingredients and the quality of their bread.
Heavenly perfection I will continue to eat there.
😋 🍕 Delicious 🤤 💕

The staff is wonderful and will help you decide on a sub. They greet you with a smile, the Philly cheese was excellent and so was the tuna

An excellent "locals only" sammich shop. Everything is fresh and delicious. We ALWAYS eat in, because the banter between the folks behind the counter and the customers is hilarious. All I know of NY/NJ I learned from tv and movies, so being exposed to another culture in this way is a real treat. A meal and a show. The last time we had lunch here, there were at least six walk ins, and the guys behind the counter knew exactly what three of them were coming in to get. Ask for the "cold and spicy and dripping Italian" - you won't regret it!

I love this place. I travel all the way from Oxford, NC to Durham for their subs. Staff is all family and very friendly. Place is always clean. And food is always fresh. Salads are awesome too!

American hero always has fresh bread, and fresh sandwiches! Doesn’t matter which sandwich you choose they are alll amazing, tuna or Philly cheesesteak are my personal favorites! 10/10

I'm a native upstate New Yorker, and if you're looking for a traditional hoagie from the region -- this is it. They fresh cut meat and cheese right in front of you, bread is all fresh baked in-house, and they have macaroni salad. What else could you want? It's a bit rundown, but the sandwiches are killer. Since moving to Durham, I am there once a week at least.
If you don't eat meat, highly recommend getting a cheese sandwich, toasted -- and rolling with whatever jokes these Greek guys throw at you. Part of the charm.

The food was over priced in my opinion. For the size and meat amounts and the selection for toppings. I remember going regularly to the American hero in Loris SC. They had decent sizes and were more filling. The inflation must have made a difference in the portions of meat.

The food was okay. I don't think it was worth the money, especially since the size and limited option for toppings. Last time I visited in Loris,SC the sandwich was amazing, filling and size was appropriate. Now they charge more then before, and their menu online isn't updated. So the prices are way more. I would rather spend 30 bucks at publix for their pubsubs!!

American Hero makes a great sandwich, and the staff are friendly. The meat was fresh cut, and I really enjoyed it.
The restaurant itself could use some renovations/deep cleanings, but the food prep area was very clean, which is the most important I reckon.
I would also like to see an expanded garden section available; there wasnt much variety to the available toppings. The bread could also use an improvement. I would really like to see turkey, ham, and roast beef as a menu item. It's a bummer to have to pay 17 dollars (due to the extra charge) for a sandwich to get that combination of meats that are stapled at others delis.
Overall, the sandwiches here are really good and staff were great, but there is room for improvement in other areas.

My sub was really good, and workers were friendly. The atmosphere was less than stellar...but I'll support small mom and pop over the big guy anyday!

Not busy when I came around 10.30 a.m. Roast beef was excellent. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop in.

I didn't care for the steak and cheese sub. However, I did enjoy the carrot cake. The cake wasn't super sweet (the icing was sweeter than the cake), which is what I enjoyed the most about it.
