Reviews for American Hero Restaurant Durham in Durham, NC
UPDATED 15 October 2022: Still a great place to get a great sub! ---------------------------- Looking for an awesome sub? You... need to visit American Hero Restaurant! The subs are made with care and fresh ingredients. Meats and cheeses are slicedspecifically for your sub, not cut ahead of time and stored. Bread is super fresh and tasty. It wouldn't surprise me if thebread is made daily in store. I ordered the ham, salami, and cheeses sub today. It was a tough decision because everythingsounded so good. Subs are a good size! I got a "regular" sub and cities only way half of it. That's good because I can't waitto have the leftovers. This is definitely a family-run business and they care for their customers. Today is the day beforefather's day - the staff was wishing fathers Happy Father's Day. That was a nice touch. I can't wait to go back and try more oftheir delicious food!! Read more
The quality of the meat is not there. Once you eat Boar?s Head nothing else compares. They make a decent sub but quality meat... would make it great. Read more
I got giant pastrami sandwich, large grape kool-aid drink, pineapple cake, and salt flavored chips. It was very delicious and... was two meals in one and very economical. Toppings are fresh and phenomenal. I keep coming back. Salads are large anddelicious. Read more
Not a bad place, but not my thing. The people that run it are friendly. Joking and flirting with customers. It's almost like a... little sitcom just waiting in line. I have to give them credit for slicing stuff right as you order it and being prettyfast. What I didn't like; only one vegetarian sandwich on the whole menu and it's just cheese. With AMERICAN CHEESEnonetheless. That stuff only belongs on grilled cheese or burgers! Also, I didn't like that when I said "everything on it" theyadded in pickles and peppers which they charge extra for but didn't ask or say anything to that effect. So my sub ended up beinga little more expensive than what I wanted to spend on lunch. I couldn't exactly ask them to unmake the sub so I bought it. Andit was decent enough. Also, this place is not as cheap as it looks. Maybe it's just inflation but I don't like doing $10 forlunch. Probably a solid spot for meat eaters. Also got to give them credit for the video games and pool tables. Along with theover the top christian stuff. I'm not a christian myself, but I appreciate when a place has personality, unlike Panera, SubwayJJ's etc. According to the sign, they had a fire and the bible didn't burn, just got a little damaged. (see photos) So they sayit was a miracle! Perhaps they should use miracle whip instead of mayonnaise? Maybe a good place for families, since they gotvideo games and pool tables. Read more
I love this establishment! I?ve been coming for years and literally have never had a bad experience. Staff is always super kind... and focused. Food is amazing. I highly recommend. I worked at a corporate deli for 2 years that?s popular and I can stillhonestly say American Hero is my favorite! I hope this place is in Durham forever! It?s truly a staple for me. Read more
I stopped in here for lunch Saturday afternoon on the way home. The restaurant is older style but there's lots of space in the... floor area and they had several arcade games along the wall that people could play and many of them were old school. It was neatto watch them cut the bread and make my sub and the bread was quite delicious. This is a very simple restaurant, but great for aquick bite to eat and a delicious sandwich. The prices are comparable with Subway, the staff was quick and friendly to deal withand the restaurant seemed fairly clean. Arabic Read more
This place has a friendly staff and great sandwiches. Very similar to Jersey Mike's, if that place was a family own restaurant... instead of a franchise. The sandwiches are large enough for the very hungry, coming in two sizes; 8inches and 16 inches. Itdoesn't hurt that they're delicious as well. Also they have arcade games which is always plus in my book. Read more
