Great American Hero

This old sandwich institution was bought by new owners in 2022 and moved from it's original location, but luckily much is the same. There are 31 different sandwiches to choose from with nine different bread options: French, focaccia, red pepper parmesan ciabatta, whole wheat, nine-grain wheat, jalapeno cheese, sourdough white and gluten-free. If you prefer wraps, there are three kinds: garlic and herb, spinach and tomato basil. They also have salad, hummus, nachos, soup, chili, cookies and other sweets. It is hard to pass on a classic like the No. 1, The Italian for $8.99. Pick your bread of choice and get it “Jersey Style.” Or go with the Hero’s Club, No. 11, for $9.47. Make it a combo with a bag of chips and a large drink for an additional $3.92. Then grab a seat and enjoy every bite of nostalgia that follows. The flavors are beautifully familiar to the old Lemmon location, right down to the crunch of the shredded lettuce, with smells that delight your olfactory. They are exactly what kept generations of hungry patrons coming back for more.
