The best sandwiches on Long Island, period. Been going there since I was a kid and the quality has always been top-notch. A must for breakfast or lunch!
Opened in a new spot where you don't have to duck your head to get in. Same great food! I tried the soup and it has the same great flavor that I remember. They still got their famous sandwiches of which I ordered a spicy willies. Still offers breakfast too. Located on the southest side of the building.
Village Hero in Syosset is a hidden gem tucked inside a corporate office building, and it might just serve the best chicken cutlet in New York. I got the junior hero (about 6 inches) with American cheese, bacon, and a light touch of gravy—and it was absolute fire. The chicken cutlet was perfectly crispy and juicy, with generous portions that rival any deli in the city. The thick-cut bacon was top-tier and added just the right amount of smokiness. Service was excellent—staff were friendly, quick, and polite. Prices are fair, portions are solid, and the quality is unbeatable. Definitely worth hunting down if you're in the area.
The best is back !! I was so happy to hear village hero's has returned basically across the street from where they used to be. It's connected to an office building In a newly renovated space .Went there today and noticed a familiar menu and faces. I only got breakfast but it was a great egg sandwich as it used to be. I can't wait to go back and get the wild willy I have greatly missed. Welcome back!
So delicious I just got the bush hero today and it was one of the best heroes I've had in a long time. The chicken cutlet was crispy and so is the bacon and everything was very fresh. The people were very nice and friendly. I have a sesame allergy which can sometimes be an issue and I was able to eat their food with no problem!
I am so happy they came back! I had to definitely go back and check it out and the new spot is such an improvement from the previous one. Very big and bright deli. There are tables to sit in and enjoy your meal. I ordered take out but the flavor is still delicious as always! It was beyond amazing so see many familiar faces from the original village hero! I am def coming back to the new location! I love the fact that the menu is 95% the same!!!!!! Couple of new things but their menu items have been great!!!
Best deli in Long Island!! Been a customer since I was in middle school. So glad to have them back
