About This Spot

Stepping into Hometown Heroes, you’re welcomed by a warm, easygoing vibe that instantly feels familiar—like slipping into your favorite neighborhood spot where everyone knows your name and the kitchen hums quietly in the background. This is the kind of place where the pace slows just enough to savor simple pleasures: the scent of fresh bread warming in the oven, the friendly chatter between staff and regulars, and the steady rhythm of a community gathering around good food and genuine service.

The atmosphere here strikes a comfortable balance between casual and inviting, making it an ideal stop whether you’re diving into breakfast on a slow morning or grabbing a hearty takeout sandwich to fuel a busy day. There’s a thoughtful attention to the way familiar ingredients come together — textural contrasts in a hero sandwich, the soft pleasantries of an egg white omelet, or the aromatic sizzle of an Italian hot dog riding a freshly baked bun. Everything feels handcrafted, drawing on classic deli traditions but carried forward with a sense of care and local heart.

It’s easy to tell this isn’t just another sandwich shop — it’s a cornerstone for folks who appreciate honest flavors and a down-to-earth experience. The friendly smiles behind the counter and the loyal faces at the tables speak to a place that’s quietly woven into the daily fabric of South Plainfield. You might find yourself lingering over crispy fries or swapping stories with neighbors who’ve made this their go-to spot for everything from weekday lunches to festive gatherings.

Hometown Heroes has created a space that feels personal without trying too hard, where the food comforts and the service welcomes you like an old friend. It’s the kind of restaurant where the small details—whether it’s the perfectly toasted bread or the bright tang of a fresh salad—add up to a place worth returning to again and again.

​I had such a fantastic experience stopping by Hometown Heroes recently. It’s clear the new owner is pouring their heart and soul into this place, and it shows in every aspect, especially the food! ​First off, the sandwiches were incredibly tasty. I tried their specialy chicken hero club and every ingredient was fresh, high-quality, and packed with flavor. The bread was perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, and the meats and cheese were piled just right. It’s easily the best hero I’ve had in a long time—a real standout for lunch. ​Beyond the amazing food, the experience was elevated by the new owner, who is genuinely nice and welcoming. They took the time to chat, ask about my order, and make sure everyone felt at home. That kind of warm, friendly atmosphere makes a huge difference. ​If you’re looking for phenomenal food and a business that truly values its customers, you absolutely need to visit Hometown Heroes. I’ll definitely be back soon!

I love this place. I was introduced to it due to my son winning a prize and we haven’t stopped going. Great price and great food.

Food was great and had a real personal and “hometown” atmosphere. Can tell they have their fair share of regulars and welcoming feel to the place. Prices are are very competitive and on the lower side compared to more modern places. Highly recommend their potato salad and chicken cutlet.

We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the fantastic service provided during our Thanksgiving lunch. The staff was exceptional, The food is consistently excellent. We truly appreciate all your efforts in making our lunch a success. Hometown Heroes remains our preferred choice for all our office events.

I stopped in to Hometown Heroes for breakfast recently and sat down to enjoy my food. I have eaten here several times over the years because the food is great, the portions are large and the prices are very fair. I used to go all the time with my kids but now they are grown and moved on with their lives. I like the restaurant and the staff is always very friendly. Maybe one day when my kids come to visit we can go back and make new memories over a great meal.

I absolutely love this place. It feels like home, and the owners are very welcoming and friendly on top of that. Their sandwiches are excellent. Give them a shot!

My coworker ordered planter for my birthday. Sandwiches and wraps are out of this world! Freshly made, well balanced ingredients, bread was fresh and crispy. Everyone who tired turn was amazed. I don't always post five star reviews, but then I do they are well deserved.
