Brooklyn Hero Shop - Broad Channel

Fire sandwiches. I usually get the Cold Italian Hero or Muffaletta on gf bread. Friendly staff and nice looking shop.

I had passed by this place many times since it opened and always was curious since it looked so nice from the outside. Its designed in a way that is giving you the impression its a european-style italian delicatessen store. I was reminded of Saraghina right away and was thinking of delicious fresh bread and high quality cheeses and meats and incredible provisions. So now I had time to stay and ordered two sandwiches for a total of $48, excited to get the best Brooklyn Hero for lunch. What I got was an enormous Sandwich for sure. But the bread was just a regular soft Bodega roll, and non of the sauces or ingredients tasted homemade at all, it was pretty much the same as in my local Bodega for twice the prize. Maybe I am too picky at this point when I get some really amazing food at other places and I know Clinton Hill is pricey, but I was dissappointed non the less.

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.

Really yummy! Great menu! Even as someone who doesn’t usually like sandwiches this was great!

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.
