This is one of my favorite places to eat mainly because of the atmosphere, the peanuts, the generous heapings of food, and the massive beer selection. Everything here is HUGE!
They start you off with bags of the best peanuts I've ever had and the great thing is that you can throw the peanut shells on the ground! I always ask for extra bags of peanuts to take home after my meal.
Now the appetizers and entrees are gigantic! It is typical for 2 people to share a meal and they're willing to split the entree and give you twice the sides if you tell them you're sharing. Although most people order burgers here, everything on the menu is amazing.
If you order a large beer here they serve it in a HUGE glass that's probably around 34 oz.
Things I like about Heroes is the atmosphere, taste of the food, and the fact that parking is abundant.
The not so good are the higher than expected prices, small portion sizes, and the disgusting peanut shells on the floor.
A great place to take your buddies to catch a game, not a good place for a date (maybe a 2nd or 3rd date, but definitely not first).
On a mild Saturday afternoon, my sister-in-law has her baby shower scheduled. So I call my brother and ask...What's up with the man shower, bro?! The next question?... Where to go? Well the shower was in Fullerton and we knew that at some point we would be summoned to move the truckloads of diapers and infant clothes back home. Well since we were needing to go to Fullerton at some point I figured Downtown Fullerton sounds like a great place for a man shower. For a casual afternoon of some pub food and drinks in DT Fullerton, Heroes is the place.
Very laid back pub with great character and decent food. Free peanuts when you sit down and you just chuck the shells on the floor. The bar has great character and decor. And my favorite thing about this pub....ice cold beer on tap served in the biggest mugs you will ever see, with a huge selection to boot. What really sells me on the place is Firestone-Walker Double Barrel Ale on tap, my absolute favorite beer. Great place for a man shower.
Pure untampered glamour.
Your idea of glamour might be picturing yourself laced up in Fendi. I can fukz wit dat.
But, my idea of glamour, in this case veers slightly off the beaten path. Any place that has over 100 beers on tap is nothing short of glamourus to me.
The crowd here varies from dirtbags, to loud college students, to young professionals who are waiting to get laid off.
I could care less. I grab myself a mug big enough for Paul Bunyan full of Arrogant Bastard, throw peanut shells on the floor, and enjoy the games on their TVs.
Polishing off a full serving of their nachos is a daunting task even for a table of six.
I like coming out of there smelling like beer and peanuts.
Who needs pheromones?
**one more note**
From time to time you will see a Paris Hilton wannabe. Only thing is, she's about 49.
A great sports bar and grill to hang out with your friends!
Heroes has been in downtown Fullerton for years and they are known for leaving you peanuts on your table which you crack open and toss the shells on the floor. They have a great selection of beers on tap and giant big screen tv's to watch your favorite games. The staff is friendly and its a great upbeat crowd. Lots of college students but also younger professionals. Heroes has great appetizers, the bbq buffalo wings are huge. They are about three times the size of normal buffalo wings!
They give you a massive amount of fries with your meal and the staff is always friendly. Its a great place to relax, an upbeat vibe and non pretentious attitude!
But be forewarned: Whenever the Angels , Lakers or CSUF Titans are playing a game that night..if any of these teams lose, be prepared for some "inappropriate" language ;)
Heroes is hands down the best sports bar in all of Fullerton!
I never have a bad time at Heroes!! I absolutely love this place!I love the people that go there and the people that work there. My favorite drink is the taquilla sunrise and I like how I can order the big class so I don't have to order like 3 drinks. I have some good memories there. The only bad thing is you bump into everybody there! But its always a good night at Heros and their food is fating and amazing!! I once got a free pizza there! I love this place!
Their chili cheese fries can feed an entire family of 5-6 ppl. No joke. It's huge. Portions are huge here but just right for their prices. Beer selection is divine, second to yardhouse though. The atmosphere is very energetic and friendly. I suggest coming for lunch instead of dinner to avoid waiting for a table, getting ignored by your waiter, and putting up with the excessive restaurant noise.
Parking is two hour limit. Shouldn't be a problem if you're just going in to eat and not watch the game and drink.
I love Heroes. I first went to the Claremont location with a girl I used to date and the food was great. Portions were just my size too, which was awesome. Beers are 25 oz. or so and they have some good stuff on tap.
It has a college bar feel (as does most of Downtown Fullerton) but that's part of the charm I think. Parking is not good on weekends but there's a valet. The food is good, I've gotten ribs and burgers and they're good, and the appetizers are great. Ribs aren't the best you've eaten but they're better than typical bar food. Sandwiches and burgers are great though and better than anything I've had at similar places. I get full trying to finish the curly fries and go home satisfied every time. We don't make it out here as much these days, but we try to go every once in a while for a change of pace.
They give you free bags of peanuts here? And you can throw the shells on the floor?? Sweet!
As I calmly indulged my secret dirty messy self, I casually checked out the place. Heroes is a nice sports bar located in downtown Fullerton, specifically in the Soco district area, with plenty of plasma TV's hanging in each corner and a ton of ground up peanut shells on the floor (so ladies, I don't recommend wearing open-toe sandals or heels in this place). It's got a super casual vibe, as can be seen in the clientale, from chill college students to working professional people (no drunken d-bags here!) but stays above 'dive-bar' status with its homey decorations, plenty of standing and sitting room, lots of small tables to sit at, and a great menu of beer and food to choose from. Did I mention they have over 100 beers on tap?? If you're a beer-lover visiting this area, this place will be a holy sanctuary for you. My friends and I had the Fuller's London Pride red ale and good ol' fashioned Guinness. Considering their large glasses are HUGE, we all got small (i.e. regular-sized) glasses. The beer was delish, but the bartender poured the Guinness way too fast resulting in an unsightly frothy mess. How the heck do you fuck up a goddamn glass of Guinness?? [see picture for example]. Needless to say, it made me appreciate a good pouring of beer VERY much so.
The food however was decent - they come in HUGE portions and will definitely make you regret wearing your favorite pair of super-skinny jeans. My friend had a burger, which was one lovely mess of meat, cheese, buns, and veggies and came with a whole plateful of fries. We also ordered the buffalo wings for about $10 (comes with carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing). I personally found them too salty but my friends thought they were amazing, so to each his own. Either way, you should probably enroll in the WeightWatchers program immediately after consumption of said foods.
They have a couple of small parking lots in the back with LIMITED spaces, as well as street parking all around, but it's nothing a five-minute walk can't handle.
=================================================
Overall, one of the better sports bars I've been to.
Came in here for a couple of drinks with some friends. They have a huge selection of beers on tap. They had some good choices. Anyone will definitely find a beer to drink here. They have european beer as well as some craft beers. They also have a fully stocked bar.
Also ordered an appetizer. The portion was huge. It definitely filled me up. I had the rib bits, which where actually two ribs. Those where some huge bits. The rib was pretty good. The bbq sauce was okay as well.
I went there in the evening and it was a young crowd lots of good looking girls. Cool place
I love "throw your peanut shells on the floor" places and this is one of um!! OMG tap beers up the wazooo!! Must be a hundred? The food is good an mostly comfort stuff in Huge sharing size
Portions across the whole menu.
The last memory I have of Heroes is passing out on the bar and being carried out by one of the doormen....(don't act like it hasn't happened to you too....ok maybe it hasn't....but judgment isn't welcome here).
That being said, I recently visted Heroes with my little brother in hopes of getting the miniature male version of me appropriately inebriated on a Sat night.....he didn't pass out on the bar as I had hoped but we still had a great time. They have a wide selection of beer, all the fattening bar food you could ever dream of, AND free peanuts that you get to throw on the floor when you're done!
There's nothing like being a hot drunken mess while making a mess.
If you like BIG BURGERS, this is a place for you! A regular sized order of chili fries to them is a GINORMOUS size to us! You'll get great food at a great price and the portions are huge. You will definitely get your money's worth here. The dining area is very chill and the bar area is nice. It's a social lounge/burger joint.
I eat a lot, as you might notice from my alias. Heroes is one of the few dives that consistently challenges my stomach capacity with delicious bar burgers and other entrees. I've come here many times for many different occasions, and I have to say that this has become one of my favorite restaurants I crave.
I usually order a sandwich or burger which comes with a generous portion of fries. I think they tell their cooks to fill the entire large plate with fries so that no white color can be seen. It's really crazy. They have a great beer selection, and have an even bigger nacho appetizer that can easier feed 4 grown men.
One novel thing about this place is that you throw away peanut shells you eat on the floor! Pretty cool to just chuck your trash down to the floor, but not cool if you got peanut allergies so be careful! It's also riddled with TVs everywhere, so you can make sure you're getting your updates on that important playoff game.
Heroes is also located right in the heart of downtown Fullerton, so after a nice hearty dinner, you can walk around the different clubs/bars, or chill at Stubriks, or shop at the random stores they have in between. It's a must try if you're in the area and are looking for a popular, fun dive that'll fill your stomach no matter how big. Go Heroes!
I love how I can litter my food on the floor. haha Their potions are huge here and it's loud and fun when you come with a group of friends!
"Take a big one" is the motto here, I think. Small don't exist in the Heroes' lexicon. The muscle man tending bar will hurl a fistfull of peanuts in your face when you make eye contact and you will love it. He will slam a jug of Sierra Nevada on your table, half of it will splash your face and you will lick it up and grin. You'll still need three hands to bring the monster mug to your lips. There must have been at least 100 different wonderful beers on tap, each with its own schnazzy custom made yank handle. I felt right at home knocking back a cold one under the bison head and his friend Mr. Moose and Mr. Caribou. Heroes cherishes its heritage- the walls are plastered with ancient black and white family portraits and historical pieces. love it. And where else can you hear on the jukebox- AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd followed by Toby Keith these days?
Seeing so many trim and elegant Fullerton beauties pounding down a#sfulls of beef, fish and curly fries, made me scratch my head in wonder. Must chop wood or something to stay that fit. Hero and heroine barkeeps are all smiles and "lemme help yous."... Evidently, the owner's never heard of this new thing called the "Internet" where you can promote your business online. South of Commonwealth- red brick quarter.
Free peanuts, chill atmosphere, lots of beers to choose from... awesomeness. Warning: it gets very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights.
HEROES!
You're the only place worth going to in downtown Fullerton.
Good Beer and Good Peanuts. Haha
I like your rustic Americana bar atmosphere.
Big giant food, which is perfect for a guy like me. I like Heroes because you can be as loud as you want. You can throw stuff on the floor and you get gigantic glasses for your drinks!
Heroes has great burgers and they give you more than your fill of fries. The only downside to Heroes is that it is so good that it is always busy and takes a bit of time to get a table. Other than that, it is a great place for big groups who want to have a loud good time!
I go here just to drink only! They have a large selection of beer which I love because I like to try new beer whenever opportunity rises. But, I think I'd become an alcoholic before I can try everything here...shots, beers, and cocktails are cheap and so is the food. A VERY VERY large portion for the price; however, the taste is not memorable. I love the atmosphere because everyone's there to get drunk and get messy with all the peanut shells on the floor and drunk people everywhere. The only thing I hate about Heroes is the parking!
They start you off with a bag of peanuts, which doesn't seem like a big deal you realize everyone is throwing the shells onto the ground. For this reason alone, it makes it surprisingly fun to eat just so you can litter shells everywhere -- it makes you feel like a renegade. If you order a water, they give you one of the largest water glasses I've seen of any restaurant, which scores major points with me.
They have maybe 100 different beers on tap, but somehow, I was able to pick a beer they ran completely out consecutively 3 times before I just told them to get me a PBR (the last American beer). They also happened to be 3 rather exotic sounding beers that I had never seen before. The portions are always fairly generous with leftovers guaranteed, which makes the prices pretty reasonable. Most of the plates I've tried seem reasonably solid, but definitely some better than others. The servers are helpful and come around often, but for some reason, one more than a couple occasions, they are no where to be found when you actually need them like for condiments or grabbing the check. I've had to personally walk the check up to a server about 3 times after futilely trying to wave them down.
i like this place the food is great. They are pricey but give ya more than you can usually eat.
Tons of BEER on tap, hottie waitress's. I like the beef brisket sandwich. The curly fries are good too. This place is pretty busy at lunch i couldnt imagine how busy it is late friday nights
Talk about big portions! This place probably deserves the title! Also, if you always wanted to throw trash on the floor, Heroe's is for you! When you get your bag of peanuts, you can empty your peanut shells right on the ground!
The daytime crowd here is typically the older/30-somethings and then come the evening, the 20-somethings come out to have drinks. But, I would recommend trying out their menu during lunch time. Their burgers and sandwiches are HUGE, so you're sure to have leftovers!
The food's tasty and just classic. Nothing too fancy here, but good for what it's worth.
Beer: Weihenstephen Hefei Weiss
Food: Heroes' Chili Nachos (large order)
Food was ok, but there was a LOT of it. They dont serve peanuts outside :( and the service was not so great. Our waitress was not the most patient and she forgot about us for a good 10 minutes after we ordered refills. Also, there are only 2 TV's outside and they are at odd places, I think they could rearrange where the TV's are located at least. It was also a bit on the expensive side, for 3 people: 3 beers with a refill for 2 and a large order of chili nachos cost about $46.
Aside from all that, it was a pretty decent place to go hang out with some friends and watch a game. Go there for the atmosphere, not the food.
Every single bartender was a total jerk. They would not wait on us, and it was obvious they were making rude comments to one another about our group. After we ordered our drinks, our bartender said, "Sorry, we're all out of those," and walked away.
It's hard to believe that in this day and age, people are so BLATANTLY elitist, bigoted and just plain rude. They treat others based on outward appearance and their own idea of what your appearance says about you. Don't fit the mold? Can't even give you the time of day.
Bad move for a bartender working in an establishment where there are peanut shells all over the floor since I'm sure your minimum-wage job relies heavily on tips.
"Where good friends and family meet." Have you guys seen that commercial?
Anyway, this place certainly is a place for friends and family...although at night, I would say it's more for friends...you know, drinks and beer? Huge portions of food - I LOVE the nachos, burgers, and the meatloaf. I don't know if I've actually tried anything else because one plate can possibly serve 10 of me. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, to be honest...
I felt pretty proud of myself that I finished a large mug of beer here...it's pretty freaking huge...as big as my face. And you can't go wrong with the free peanuts they give to you for free...and you don't need to worry about where the shells go...on the floor! =D
I can see what everyone else is saying about the service, but I guess I'm just used to it. I mean...it's an all-American bar...not a 5-star restaurant. You sit where you want, order a beer and chill. There's no particular server for a particular area...it's more of a first-come-first-serve type of feel...know what I mean?
I visited Heroes when it was 100 degrees in Fullerton, it was large, airy and fully air conditioned. I was already a four star fan after that.
When my party got seated and asked for water it was served to us in a FREAKIN large ass glass. On this really hot day, I was delighted.
Then I went to look to see what was on tap, and I was floored. 100 beers on tap? Woah, count me in! I asked to see their beer menu, it was alphabetized and numbed, and they had Lambi Frambois. I'm a sucker for fruity beer.
I had the chili, it was spicy and served in a bread bowl. Rumor has it you can get seconds at no charge. Too bad I was too full.
The service was ok. the atmosphere great and the food savory. I'd go back without a doubt. Also, about six or seven different very large parties came in and they sat them without a wait and without any fuss. A+!
This place makes a good turkey burger and has a good selection of beers! I'm sold! I have been here a couple of times for lunch and to hang out on Friday night as well. For lunch i came to get a turkey burger that impressed me. They give a nice size pickle on the side and a boat load of fries. They give you a couple of options on the fries, curly and steak fries i believe. I got the steak fries and they were good. The only time i have come to hang out at night was on a Friday and it was packed. Service was a little slow but you can expect that when the place is full to capacity. And they give you peanuts that are really good!
Ok this review is for breakfast only!
My son and I went in here to have breakfast on a Sunday morning, I believe they serve breakfast on weekends only. So anyways he tell me they have a pancake breakfast and that if you eat the entire meal its free!
I knew what that meant. So yes he wanted to try it, what happened next was unbelievable.
Our server came and by the way the service here is always great and friendly.and he orders the pancake meal and I order the chili cheese omelet. Heres what we got.
Son & Pancake meal= 4 fluffy bigger than a dinner plate around that stood atleast 6 inches high, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage
Me & chili cheese omelet= 8 egg om let smothered with chili and cheese probably a foot and half long and about 4" wide 3" high it might even have more eggs, a ton of potato's and toast
This was enough food for 10 people lol and no we werent even close to finishing our plates, but we did eat ourselves sick and had a great time doing it.
Heroes for breakfast food is great, service is awesome! plus it was just a fun place to have a fun time. No dieters wanted here! lol
Great sports bar just a awesome place to be with friends and family to hang out and eat. The staff… Read more »
This based on the bar and not their food. It's a good place for beer and peanuts. I've been here a few times throughout the past two years.
They have lots of beers on tap and free peanuts. You leave the shells on the ground. interesting to say the least.
The bartenders are nice. Their taps are clean. They come in huge mugs. And all very inexpensive. Other patrons are not pricks.
I still need to try the food and test the wait staff. I've always come here pretty early before having dinner at another place or going to my night class. I don't know this place is past 6p.
Heroes is my hero.
Thick, juicy burgers.
Hot, crispy curly fries.
Giant mugs of coke.
Combine that with good music, good vibes, and a crapload of peanuts and you have yourself a good time.
Omg the first time I went in with my family I was so scared because all I saw was ppl sitting at the bar drinking HUGE mugs of beer. Anyways we got the table and the waitress was really nice and she gave us 3 bags of peanuts and then I saw everyone throwing all the peanut shells on floor, I was a bit shocked but it was amusing. LOL
The food there is good make sure to remember that all the entrees are HUGE!
The Monster Burger is big enough for two ppl and the nachos are sooooo HUGE! If you guys dont drink any beer just order water, water is enough LOL
Going back there next week to celebrate my sister's birthday! =]
Heroes!
The first time I walked in to this place I thought it was insane that there were peanut shells in the floor! hahaha then I got it when they gave me a peanut bag and since my mom wasn't around ! hahah I continue with the tradition and dumped it on the floor lol....
This isn't a place if you are on a diet! I ordered a chicken sandwich and the fries portion were so much that I had to leave some I NEVER DO THAT!! but it was seriously way too many after the sandwich. It was absolutely filling, good , and price reasonable. I came during the afternoon during the week which was more quiet and less hectic to say.
Service wasn't that great so on that I give it a 2 stars because I really felt like yelling for some service ... the waitress could not work any faster and then totally ignored us when we wanted to ask for something else... ARRR!! seriously WORK IT WORK IT!
Anyways besides the service, Heroes was really good ( food) and I love the portions hahah you can share! I don't drink beer so can't say anything about it.
There's so much that can be said about Heroes and the random, yet mostly college-aged crowd it draws, but I'll just say that if it weren't for the wide selection of beer and the sizes offered ($11 for a mug big enough to fill a handful of just-turned-21 bladders), I think I'd only come to Heroes purely for people watching. Or if I happened to become inspired enough to conduct a sociology experiment. Maybe something about how peanut shells on the floor impact social behavior? I'll let you know when I feel inspired.
OK listen up people. Let's talk about common sense here... If the sun is out and you go to a "bar/grill" in a bar area (ie. downtown Fullerton) could it give more of a restaurant atmosphere? Sure. Go again at night and what do you think you're get? A bar atmosphere? Anyone? Yes! Precisely. See, once you grasp that concept you will fully enjoy your experience at Heroes.
I have been here for numerous occasions, different times of day, different days of the week (mind you, this is in DTF kids). My lunch time experience was decent. Service was decent, had typical bar food (chicken stripes, fries, cheese bread) had a mug full of cold beer and threw my peanut shells on the floor. Nothing special, but I'd say it was pretty decent for a bar.
The other times I went there it was all so different and crazy! Let me try to break it down. If you go before Thursday, you'll see the locals enjoying beers, some yelling going on, but pretty chill for the most part. Go on a Thursday night and it is the epitome of "THIRSTY Thursday". Servers are nowhere to be found, the bar is packed and shoving tactics must be used to get to it (elbows is key). Jam packed with all kinds of people, college kids mostly of course, it's definitely a toe to heel atmosphere with a bunch of drunks. A Saturday night isn't too bad. I want to say that it's still just as busy and filled with people but just not as hectic? Yeah.
This really isn't a sit down for a meal and expect good service at night kind of place. Take my word. But i mean, what bar in downtown Fullerton is? Not the good ones at least. So go, fight for a beer, grab your friends, find some breathing space and stop whining about the bartenders. No they're not there to accommodate you princess, they're there to serve the beers.
Side Note: The first time I went I was drunk with a girlfriend on a Wednesday night. Last call was called already but we still got served drinks and peanuts. I had the most amazing time hanging out with the bartenders (Wed night=no crowd), having the guys school me about the bar and why it's vital for us to throw the shells on the ground. Good times.
This place makes you proud to be an American... or if you're a foreign exchange student; want to be an American.
It's been a while since I've been to this establishment, so I'm going by memory..which is still sharp. When I usually order a Stone Arrogant Bastard, it's usually served in a goblet due to its volatility. But at Heroes? NO WAY! 2.5 PINTS OF BASTARD right there!
Nachos? Not your typical Acapulco nachos served in portions made for two humans to enjoy; these come out on a HUGE dish that covers about 2 acres of Orange County served as high as the Langsdorf Hall.
The burgers? Hahahahah!!, no no, not your usual 12 ounce patty with a slice of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and whatever else normal people are accustomed to... they serve you the rear end of a complete cow that was just prepped and grilled straight from the barn directly to the fire. It's not one slice of cheese, it's a brick of cheese. Just kidding.. maybe not.
Awesome atmosphere, awesome service, and a memorable experience you're going to want to share with your fellow drinkers and eaters. ID the bouncer past 10pm.
BRO CENTRAL
thats it and thats all.
Good bar-type atmosphere with decent grub. Unfortunately, like most of downtown Fullerton, it is filled with drunk wannabe bad-asses and lots of noise.
I do enjoy their expansive list of beers on tap. Food is average: typical, fried American-style bar food.
Good to come with a large group of friends to drink some beers.
I love this place.
Everything I need for Monday Night Football. Cold Beers, Peanuts, Nachos, etc. I can go on and on. Portions are big. Can share with others. Prices are reasonable. Great place!

---COMMENTS---
Went with 5 guys.
Offer typical american bar food with generous proportions
Offer 117 beers on tap; if I had to choose this place over a Yard House... I'd have to go with this place.
Offer free peanuts; throw shells anywhere, even in the waitress's face! JK.
Btw, its a bar, so don't expect great service. I ordered steak fries along with my sandwich, but got curly fries instead. So its best to view the waitresses there like sean penn in "I am Sam" when he got everyone's Starbux drinks all messed up. I looked at my curly fries and thought to myself, "eh... what am I, surprised? of course not..."
Looking forward to another beer session with the guys.
You may enjoy.
