I am giving this place 4 stars because of the food and the beer...
As others have stated before....the service!! It's slow and a few of the servers have been rude.
If you don't have anywhere to go this is a nice place to have dinner. I keep coming back to Heroes really love this place....dang those servers!
Burgers and delicious
Pastrami is SO salty
pulled pork is meh
riblets are ok
Tuna salad is caca
Chicken wings are good
Turkey Sandwich is meh
So much of my day was wasted waiting for service here today that I don't even want to take the time to write about how bad the food was.
Grilled artichokes sounds amazing but it's a ten dollar trap with no real food on the plate.
The burgers sound too good to be true because they are. Seriously, how can you mess up a burger that has avocado, bacon, and cheese on it?! How did you mess that up and make it taste like poop!!???!!!!
I am pretty sure everything was microwaved or pulled straight out the of the freezer. Grossy mcgross gross.
This place is a joke!! I actually came here tonight, service was just awful.
I actually liked the concept of the peanut shells over the floor, but why were other customers peanut shells on my chair?
Service: Honestly, I haven't had service this bad in a very long time. The manger, this male waitor, was completely rude. We were never asked once if we needed anything. Fortunately, they leave some essentials for costumers to get themselves. So, I had to go around and get my own napkins, when I was first seated, and take-home box, when I wanted to leave. I mean literally, zero service!! Though they were nice enough to actually drop the food off in a heart beat without me being able to ask for a napkin in that 0.1 second, I'll give them that. Overall, I just felt like I was a burden to them. And no, I don't blame the waitress, she was running around the whole time, I blame the manger for not hiring an extra hand.
Food: Both my friend and I got the Chicken Caprease Sandwich, with the recommendation of the waitress. So apparently, this is an open-side sandwich, meaning only one side has bread, not to mention its stalked pretty high, thus making it very difficult to eat. By the time I took two bites, my plate looked like a salad and curly fry combo instead of a sandwich with fries; unappetizing. Do not get this dish. Overall, food was very greasy and unhealthy; I like comfort food, but those curly fries and the 3 stalks of thick goat cheese in my sandwich was a bit too much.
As a plus, there was really great entertainment. This gentlemen was singing these great songs with his guitar, I enjoyed that.
Overall, I think the general concept of this place is good, but they really need to improve on cleanliness and service. Perhaps, hire an extra waitress to get the tables cleaned-up and provide more quality service. Until that time comes, don't go there.
This place has a great atmosphere I like that they give you peanuts and you can throw the shells on the floor.
Good Beer selection and full bar.
The Grilled Artichoke is out of this world! TRY IT
There Beef brisket with provolone cheese is really good too.
All around this place is good.
I love Claremont and I love Heroes! The best time to go is after work on a winter night. They pour the best and most fair glass of wine in town! I think the kids that work here are great/lots of fun. For a town with many small colleges, this is your best bet for a fun place to go.
Look, no one said the place is the Bel Air Hotel....but it is a wonderful neighborhood "joint."

Wow, I read through some of the lower rated reviews here and was a bit suprised. Came here on a Friday for lunch. Service was very good. My wife, daughter and I were continually asked how things were going. Not so much that it was annoying, but "just" enough.
The food is Very tasty: I had the Black and Blue burger- awesome, and my wife the Clam Chowder.
Beer selection is very nice, had a HUGE 3/4.
LIke it a lot.
This place is fun for a mellow sit-down meal with friends. Free peanuts are a perk and you can throw the shells on the floor. Their drinks are huge! Literally bigger than my face! I've had the California burger with a vegetarian patty (and no bacon) a few times now and it's consistently good. Their portions are huge! Their fries are really good too.. Curly or steak fries. Mmm :) Service has never been amazing but not horrible.
First the food: I had the California Burger and it was delicious! It had avocado, mushrooms, and bacon--all around cooked nicely--and came with a huge half-pickle. The fries were just ok, but no surprise there since they're overshadowed by the burger.
Aside from the food, though, this place didn't have much else going for it. If you're looking for friendly or efficient service, you better go somewhere else. No one paid our party of seven any attention until I approached the bar to talk to someone. The guy there told me several times to wait until my entire party had arrived, even though they were all standing next to me. Then, we were seated by one person, and had to wait a while for a different person to take our order. It just seemed really inefficient in general.
When we sat down, I noticed that peanut shells and skin covered the floor like snow. I could feel them crunch underfoot. I guess it's because the packs of peanuts they give you to munch on have the shell on, but it was kinda gross to see all this crap on the floor of a restaurant.
One more thing I was kind of annoyed by was the way our waitress gave us the check. I'm going to pick on the fact that they didn't use a check presenter just because she put the little piece of paper amid our glasses of drinks and food. So of course the check got totally wet and looked like trash next to the peanut shells.
If it weren't for the really delicious burger, I would have really hated this place. Still, I probably won't come back by choice. Way too much of a mess overall.
Ventured into a laid back downtown,
Found all kinda people wondering around.
The city had come to life and was vibrant,
We ended up at Hero's and my friend ate a plant.
Don't laugh, it's so true,
They had a roasted artichoke for you.
My oh my, another friend had on his dish,
A whole buncha curly fries and a superb fish,
But little ol' me looking here and there for a salad plate,
Forget that, I ordered curly fies and tri tip steak.
It was very delicious food and hard to decide on which soda,
But, I saw my favorite and it was diet Coke Cola.
Service was great and food / ladies were fine,
I'll be back and I'll see you next time.
This place is great. Good food, good beer and they give you peanuts. Hahha
Big, hearty portions of standard American sports bar fare.
I was glad to hear they had a dinner menu in addition to their finger foods/sandwiches/burgers/salads menu since I was super hungry and in a very carnivorous mood. A friend and I split the prime rib ($5 to split an entree but well worth it). Seriously, if I tried to tackle the thing myself I would have been there all night. My hubs had the blackened salmon which came out on a huge platter with basically an entire head's worth of brocolli and cauliflower. (He, however, has a voracious appetite and did justice to his meal - as always.) Lucky me! I have to keep him fed. (I'm being sarcastic, lol)
Reflecting after the meal, though, I would have been happier had I ordered something like the patty melt or a steak sandwich. Something tasty and simple, something I could eat with my hands. This is because I had one hell of a time cutting into my prime rib.
WORD OF ADVICE: BRING YOUR OWN STEAK KNIFE. lol
(The flatware here needs to be replaced.)
But onto the good things about Heroe's:
* A pleasant, cozy, rustic Lodge-esque kind of vibe.
* Huge, gigantic beers.
* Some reviewers find the peanut shells a bad thing but I thought it was kind of fun. :)
* Several well-placed TVs playing sports stuff - good for the peeps who want to have a drink and watch the game without being hassled.
* Crazy good prices esp for the amount of food you are served.
All in all, I will definitely go back when I get the urge to eat peanuts and then nonchalantly throw the shells on the floor. :)
Heroes was always my favorite hang-out in the village during college. If you eat here your party each gets a bag of peanuts, on the house. After you eat the peanuts you're encouraged to throw the shells on the floor, making the entire floor full of crushed peanut shells. This is reflective of the fun, lively, and casual atmosphere present in this sports bar.
When you come over dinner, expect long lines to eat. Food is classic sports bar food, not gourmet cuisine, but quite tasty for what it is. There's also a great selection of beers, as well as mixed drinks. Be prepared to bring home leftovers, as portions are absolutely gigantic - even the sodas. I consider that a nice secondary gift from Heroes, since I get two meals for the price of one.
This place is awesome.. A lot of beer on tap, I always get Blue Moon!! The food portions are humongous, I always share. I usually share something like chicken tenders or the turkey stack sandwich.. really yummy!! Even half the plate is more than filling, I don't usually finish. Really fun and relaxing place.. Oh yeah, and the peanuts are strangely addicting.
Price: Good place, but I don't know if I'd pay the price of an entree for just myself. Must share to save on price. Oh yeah, but they charge you $2 for sharing. .. Hm.. my review doesn't sound like it's a very good place to visit.. BUT I ASSURE YOU, I ENJOY THIS PLACE.
And yes, the female server at Heroes hates you and will make sure that you know she hates you. Try to get one of the male servers.. they are nice, friendly and recognize repeat customers.
Good prices on beer ($9 for 32 ounces of Blue Moon or Sam Adams... I'll take it), food is mediocre (I had the fish-and-chips, fish was bad but the curly fries were awesome), waiters and waitresses can be snippy, but hey, being wait-staff can suck, so who can blame them for having an off day or two?
Best part: pushing your peanut shells on the floor!
Quick & Dirty: Heroes... you are not mine. Lousy Service, Lots of Beers but you have to guess which ones. Food tasted like it was from the freezer.
Long & Douchey:
Douche says: Can I get you something to drink?
Sam Says: Hmm. I'll have a beer. What do you have on tap?
Douche Says: Dude, we've got like 41 Beers on tap.
Sam Says: Okay. Do you have Boont?
Douche Says: No
Sam Says: Alright then what do you have that's similar.
Douche Says: Blabbity-mumble-grumble-pfffttt
Sam Says: Whatever, that's fine.
As other friends arrive we had to hunt for someone, anyone to get them drinks. Friends sat for like 5-10 Minutes without anything but a bag of half eaten peanuts in front of them waiting like disgruntled elephants. EVENTUALLY we all had drinks.
Douchette Says: Do you guys want to get something to eat?
Sam Says: I'll have chicken strips with steak fries.
Douchetee: Brings Dish
Sam: Eats its the Smart & Final Chicken Strip.
We sit with empty glasses.... and sit ... dirty plates... dirty table... empty peanut bags.
Sams Friend: Where is our server?
Douchette #2 Arrives...
Sam Says: We need another Beer.
Douchette #2: What kind?
(there are no beer menus ANYWHERE)
Sams Friend: Blue Moon?
Douchette #2: Okay, and you?
Sam Says: That's fine.
I'm not a picky guy, really I'm not. I would have LOVED to have known what beers they had on tap, but I will never know other than whatever the hell Douche poured me and Blue Moon, which I don't even really like.
We had 3 servers (That I could count) and I had to hunt down each one of them. That's LAME-O! They were so disorganized that we were charged for extra drinks that no one ever had! They're DOUCHE-Y!
This place has a sticker that says "People Love us on Yelp!"
They do? Really? Huh. Because I don't. I'm on Yelp.
They should get a new sticker that reads "Some People Love us on Yelp but not Sam. O of Long Beach"
Would I go here again? No. I hear there is a really really cool new place called the Back Alley over on the other side of Indian Hill. I'm going to try that next.
Should you go here? I don't understand why you would.
Burgers. Sandwiches. Fish & Chips. Steaks. Chops. Pastas. They have this all and much, much more. This a place to let your belt buckle loose or bring on the stretchy pants. I've been coming here over the years with my family and friends. I have yet to have a mediocre or not so great dish or drink. Occasionally the staff is not the greatest but about half are (and there's not too too many on hand). Went there just recently and snacking away on the free peanuts, tossing the shells on the floor and making conversation over the full tables and stools of friends varying in age to a few families, to a couples. Various tv screens are on to be able to catch a game is always awesome. Their fish and chips are outta sight. Their burgers are awesome. The chips and fries are yummy as well as their oysters and just, everything. Try it out.
I love Heroes!
This place is great because it has the two most quintessentially macho elements of a good food joint: Mean burgers and litre mugs of legit beer.
The food portions are enormous. Get a one of their fancy burgers, preferably something spicy. The Black and Blue burger is definitely a noble undertaking.
The litres of beer are awesome. They have a ton of microbrews on tap (now that I think about it, that almost might be literal) including your standard California labels like AleSmite, Stone, and Lost Coast. I'm a fan of the Spatan. If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to beer, just ask the bartender and tell him what you like.
The decor is pretty faux blue-collar with signs and neon lights on the inside. It's a little gimmicky. But they have TVs visible from everywhere in the place, so it's a great place to catch the game, be it the Trojans, Angels, Ducks, or Lakers.
Of course, the floor is covered with straw. Every table seat gets unlimited peanuts and you toss the shells on the floor. It's very empowering to feel like a slob but not get reprimanded for it. So what are you waiting for?!
The drinks were delicious the food was tasty but try and get some service or even a friendly smile you're in the wrong place.
The waiters and the manager all seemed to be slightly annoyed that we were in their restaurant. I could not distinguish the wait staff from the customers since there was nothing distinguishing them (no name tag, t shirt, or even apron).
Once we got an order taken it got to us quite quickly. The Black and Blue Burger is a great choice, especially if you're a blue cheese addict as I am. The Long Island Iced Tea was strong and tasted great.
NOTE: The 5-star rating is for Heroes' Chili Cheese Fries only.
Top three, if not top one, all time for me. And I eat me some CCFs. And consistent. Consistently huge, too. And that's the half order. Unless you have a bovine stomach system, expect to need 1-3 friends, depending on your intake habits, to chow through them. The full order comes on a big old pizza tin.
If you like you some Chili Cheese Fries, please investigate these for your own good.
OTHERWISE,
Heroes is good for beer and cocktails. Food is a tad pricey for the category but the portions are huge.
If you're into beer, the taps will get old because they only rotate a few of them from time to time. They'll get Sierra Nevada Celebration ale and maybe one or two other seasonals. I have seen Bear Republic's Speedway Stout here (and a chorus of inebriated angels sang), but only once. Otherwise its a static situation.
So Heroe's has never been a favorite of mine.
But I will give it a fair revue as they do have decent food and a large amount of delicious beer on tap. The food is all moderately priced and the beer is reasonably priced as well. They have huge glasses for the beer and sodas, which is nice if you in turn have a desire to be BIG too. In my opinion beer shouldn't be in a huge glass it gets warm too fast and becomes undrinkable(which makes it wasteful).
Also wasteful is the amount of food you receive. I've still yet to finish a plate here and I usually share with a friend. Now this explains how the prices for food are reasonable. But if you consider that they're is no need for any one person to have so much food then the price becomes exorbitant and so does the food.
I have never been a fan of mounds of food on plates at restaurants. I love food but I rarely eat leftovers and I just see it as wasteful. In the current structure of today's economy I'd prefer a smart amount of food for a smart price..is that too hard to ask?
Overall it's not a bad atmosphere, they serve peanuts in individual bags and you throw the shells on the floor. They have game on a wide screen if thats your sort of thing. A decent place to hang if your a college student I guess. A good way to gain that freshman 15 they always talk about.
Been here plenty of times for a drink after a game of golf or out with friends for a night around downtown. The beer selection is good for being on tap, but the beers are fairly atypical for the selection so it does get old after awhile. Food comes in huge portions (a bit pricey $10-15 bucks), so you definitely need to bring your appetite.
The atmosphere is your typical sports bar, but with a bit nicer of a crowd than the Fullerton Heroes. If you are into loud, throw-your-peanuts-on-the-ground with a big beer in hand type place, then check it out. But if you want something quieter with a more sophisticated atmosphere, I would check out The Press or The Back Abbey first.
I've stopped into Heroes for lunch on several occasions over the last couple of years. The last time being this afternoon where I met up with a friend.
The service was fairly good as was the food. (I had a blackened salmon salad. My buddy order the chili.) The one thing you will definitely not feel leaving Heroes is hungry. The food portion sizes are huge as may be indicative of the water glasses they use which appear larger than beer steins.
For the beer enthusiasts, they have a good selection, many on tap. If you are looking to catch a sporting event on TV, it is likely you will be able to watch it here.
This is a good place to chill out with some buddies over some beers, eat decent food, and catch a game on TV.
It was hot in Claremont...I'm talking BLISTERING HOT with hot winds.
Thank god I didn't pack on my mask before this outing otherwise it would have been a melted makeup mess.
So we walk into Heros in hopes to escape the heat wave with a nice cold one and air conditioning.
The first thing you notice right away are the peanut shells scattered throughout the restaurants.
Sweet! Peanuts! And I can throw the shells on the floor! I like that.
We sat down and ordered some beers and a pear cider for Moi.
The large drink is probably as big as my head. It's HUGE!
It's like drinking 2.5 beers in one glass.
That made me happy especially when I found out how much these went for: $9 dollars each!
I must warn you, do NOT come here if you're not hungry or if you're watching your calorie intake....this place serves BIG.
We ordered nachos (no joke; a full platter of chips piled high topped with chili beans, sour cream, guacamole, black olives and onions), rib tips (served with slaw and curly fries), hot wings (careful, these are nuclear hot) and a seafood basket (not the favorite).
All these items were big enough to feed a family of 20.
I literally felt like throwing up after I realized how much food was in front of me.
The service was exceptional...about 4 different servers came by to make sure we were okay.
I must add that we did find a piece of trash in the nachos...which is usually not a good thing...but they took it off the check and everything was fine.
Also, the seafood basket was nothing more than a breaded, flavorless disaster. And the rib tips were way too salty...I'm still retaining water!
The hot wings were soggy...I like mine crispy and moist...not drenched to the point where you're eating soggy hot batter.
Overall...its a fine spot for big appetites and thirst....and if you're into sports bar food...
I'd rather stick to my hood and go to EJs.
I have a bias: I dislike the sports bar atmosphere. Therefore, I was not a fan of the energy here. Food was alright. typical highly caloric fare. Not very memorable. Not my scene.
Great if you like the whole sports bar atmosphere. Kinda cute and cozy inside. Has a sorta Irish pub vibe.
I always find myself driving on th 10 through these areas and I'm Hungry and I don't want to go to anything I can see off the freeway. I know there's a cute little downtown Claremont area but I where will I eat.
I will always go here now. The food was awesome but they had me at the peanuts.
My favorite bar when I lived in Claremont. Back then the place was tiny, but they've subsequently doubled the size. Black and Blue burger is fantastic, but incredible portions come with any order. Love the peanuts. Great beer selection. And half the wait now.
The first time and last time I went to Heroes was when I was in high school. Great, you guys think. Some emo high schooler who went to a bar/restaurant is reviewing this restaurant. Mind you that was a little over six-seven years ago. All I can say was that though the peanut shells on the floor, like everyone is mentioning, is pretty awesome. But despite this kitschy atmosphere, there was still not excuse for the extremely poor service.
I think I got there on an afternoon, not even a rush hour. It was 3PM, on a Tuesday. Really, no one was there, no one was waiting. Yet ironically I had to. I had to wait. 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge my existence. I thought this was odd. With an almost empty restaurant, you'd think service be quick. Strike one.
Before I was seated, two couples were seated before me. Wait, what? Yeah, that's right, TWO COUPLES were SEATED BEFORE me. That was with the "Excuse me, miss? Um, I believe I was here first?"
Strike two.
When I finally got to my seat and ordered a particulary easy club sandwich, I had to wait another 30 minutes to get my food. Seriously? 30 minutes? With only three other tables? And for a club sandwich? And I'm not sure what people are talking about the huge portions, maybe because I only ordered a sandwich, but it was just a regularly sized portion.
Strike three.
Maybe because I was young, or maybe because they just suck, that should really be no excuse to give such crappy service to anyone. And you think being a Claremont native would have been a plus. O well.
I went to Claremont the other day to check out "Some Crust Bakery" but due to my stupidity I didn't check the times it was open and had to find another place to eat at. So we found Heroes.
We were greeted very fast and I would say the service was very good, the best thing about the place! The next best thing was the beer selection (if I was still in college I would have been drunk within 30 minutes).
Now the bad part. This place is a good hamburger or sandwich place. I got the fried chicken and it was horrible, tasted like sweaty ass! That includes the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese (ass!)
She got a hamburger which was extremly good. Chocolate cake was the best I ever tasted (extreme chocolate people only).
I would go back and split a burger plate.
First time I came here, I was with a group of friends. I heard good things about Heroes, but never really had the chance. From walking in, you hear, smell, and see the atmosphere. From the peanut shells on the floor, to the eclectic wall decor, it's a good place to eat.
Things to know about Heroes:
their beer mugs can be huge (massive even)
their soup specials of the day, when ordered with a bread bowl, are offered a refill of soup
their pulled pork (joe's pork i think it was) is great
their patty melt literally melts
they do not split checks
It has always been an overall good experience for me. I go here for soup every Friday at lunch. The waiters are nice and they always try to seat you as soon as they can.
This is a nice local burger joint in downtown Claremont. WARNING: Portions are obese. Unleash the fatty inside and come to Heroes for beer and guilty-pleasure, greasy appetizers. Even a diet coke comes in a large-@s$ stein! I mean, why? Who cares why! It's Heroes!
Me and some friends came here after a brutal review session for class and decided to cure our bummed ego's with some beers. Heroes has a wide selection of beer, from the light to the heavy. It was so refreshing. We also shared the seafood platter, which was okay. Standard greasy-food. We also shared a slice of chocolate-cake with ice cream (I know, random), and it was okay. Like I said, this place I wouldn't say is really big on execution, but they can cook up a mean burger! I've eaten here a couple times and had their standard Heroes burger. But they have a lot of different options to a California burger, to a caprese sandwich, to salads, soups and you name it! They also serve you an endless supply of peanuts, which-depending on if you're into this sort of stuff-you can crack open and drop the shells on the ground. Um, yeah? It's probably more fun if you're drunk, but hey knock yourself out!
I'd love to try the nachos here. They were ENORMOUS. I can never finish my plate either when I eat here. :( You definitely get a lot of food, but I still feel that I'm paying more than I'm getting only because of the lack of quality. But let's face it, a stein that holds over 2 beers for 10 bucks isn't TOO bad. I definitely have experienced worse in the SF area. The service is very friendly and accommodating. So yeah, try this place out if you want to watch the game and pound down some beers...Dude.
Almost worth 5 stars, but I subtracted 1 due to the unreasonably giant portions that cause me angst every time I try to plan an order or when I watch them carting off the huge masses of uneaten food.
That aside, this is great bar food with a stellar selection of beers. My personal favorite here is the old fashioned patty melt. I recommend you skip the fries and get onion rings or the homemade potato chips: both are divine!
Gets super-crowded many evenings by 6:30 or 7 PM. Decent place to take kids, though, since it's so noisy nobody will notice if your kid is yelling or crying.
Not the place if you want peace and quiet or to have much conversation.
Decent for medium-sized groups (~8). They have some large tables and will push others together for you - just be prepared for a BIG wait if you come at the wrong time. Bear in mind that you might have to flag down a waiter for service if the place is busy. But also know that ANY and all waiters are ready to help you out if you can get their attention.
Great food, crumby service
My wife and I ate here the other night when my brother-in-law and his wife came out to visit. We've been here before and really enjoy the food and generous portions. However on this particular night we had a young lady server who must have been having an off night.
While serving the table next to us she accidentally backed into my chair, so I turned, saw her, and said, "Oh, excuse me." She just glared back.
Later while taking our order I asked what they had on tap.
Me: What do you have on tap?
Her: A lot. (Awkward silence)
Me: Oh... do you have a list?
Her: No. (More silence)
Me: Then how do I know what to order?
Her: You can either go check the bar or just ask me.
Me: (Confused) But didn't I just ask you?
Her: I'm not going to recite 46 beers for you.
Me: Okay, I'll go have a look.
To be fair, we got a different server after that and he was much nicer. And my food was awesome (Western BBQ Chicken Burger), but if possible, navigate your way away from the pretty, young, embittered waitress.
Boyfriend and I came here post-brunch on Saturday. Thus, I can't really review the food, but did notice that there was a constant line of people waiting to sit down.
We sat at the bar and had two of the LARGEST Bloody Marys I've ever had in my life. I swear they were 32 oz. apiece! We also watched the gal make them both FROM SCRATCH which always impresses the crap out of me. Very very spicy and a perfect balance of tomato juice to vodka. Rock salt on the rim and a spear of 3 olives. I would have like a celery stalk, too, but I know that's stylistic by maker.
With your drinks, you each get a packet of ballpark peanuts (salted in the shell) and you can toss the shells onto the floor (always earns points with me in a drinking establishment).
The bar seemed to have a pretty decent tap selection (tho we did not partake) and the ambiance is sort of stepped up TGIFridays. Loads of antique portraits line every square inch of wall and a taxidermied moose head lords over the bar area in a skylight well.
Has a definite sports pub atmosphere, but I would go back for the Bloodys!
The first thing you need to know about Heroes is that half the time, the service is really bad. There have been times when I went in and the service was just fine but there have also been occasions where my friend and I will be sitting there for half an hour and no one will ask us what we want to order.
Onto more positive things, I love that you can throw peanut shells on the floor. I love that the beers are HUGE! I love that the food portions are HUGE!! And not only huge, but really tasty! I don't mind leftovers so for me, Heroes is also great because you have another meal taken care of. The ambiance is very laid back. The crowd is composed of the typical chill, Village-going, Cmonter.
So overall I would have given Heroes 5 stars but iffy service at a restaurant (with the exception of chinese restaurants because those are a completely different issue) is something I'm not really a fan of. Especially when the food is so good. I just want someone to come take my order so I can start having some deliciousness in my stomach, dammit!!
Hero's is a good place to go if you are real hungry and in the mood to eat. The food is good, but I wouldn't say great. I like the dark, but casual atmosphere. Just a good place to hang out with some friends.
Boy are the portions HUGE! I ordered a half salad & still ended up splitting that with a friend of mine. I loved the nachos... that was only polished off by having all 10 of us. If someone could eat that entire thing, I would probably buy them a round of drinks or a new belt.
The boys loved that you can throw the peanut shells on the floor. However, I was wearing flip flops & I certainly didn't like the feel of a peanut shell on my foot let alone in between my foot & flop.
We came in a fairly big group (about 5 boys & 5 girls), which obviously meant more money to spend. Though most places would be great to have us, however I felt a little unwanted in this place. The service was sub par... I never got my water that I asked for 3 times. Maybe she only wanted to service me my Guinesses, oh well.
For sure a place to go, just to hang with friends & talk college ball or about the good 'ol days.
Decent food and staff, could be better. Ordered the Jack's Chicken Sandwich, which was decent, nothing amazing. They did give me a lot of curly fries. I suggest having it with the spicy ranch dress. A bit on the pricey side. But it's usually one of the few places open.
Had to remind our waitress a few times to bring some items, but they were pleasant and apologetic about it. They'll let you togo your drinks (I ordered a Arnold Palmer), which was a lifesaver this past scorching, walking in oven weekend.
Food is decent... although nothing spectacular...
You come for the atmosphere and not the food though...
Throwing peanut shells on the floor is always fun!
The portions are more than generous... Appetizers are enough to feed you for 2 days...
Both the steak fries and the curly fries are really good...
Had the buffalo wings which were good and tried some pork rib tips which were pretty tasty too...
I was told about this place with peanut shells on the floor etc (I have mild case of OCD) :-p
I came here with my friend for her birthday and I figure it can't be too much food if she likes coming here (being 90 lbs).
Portions were huge even for me who was is still referred to as the food disposal.
Service was excellent, came by asked questions helped recommend what to get for first timers and even drinks.
Of course the food was excellent and I think I had food coma for days.
I'm sure to gain tons of weight if I come here often enough.
Parking: I parked somewhere else, but plenty of parking in the area to walk to here.
Wait: I came a bit late so I didn't have to wait at all, but I hear this place gets crowded.
Great American food does not come any better than at Heroes!
I've been coming to this place as much as possible since coming to college 3 years ago. I have every birthday dinner at Heroes because the food is so good AND now that I'm 21, I can choose from the RIDICULOUSLY HUGE selection of beer they have!
The atmosphere at Heroes is half of the equation that makes this place so wonderful. Peanut shells litter the floor and all sorts of odd items and old photos hang on the walls. Along with all the great decoration and themeing of the restaurant, there are plenty of enormous flat screen TVs to watch football, baseball, basketball, or whatever on.
The food at Heroes is unbelievable. While this place does have overwhelmingly big serving sizes on both food and beverages, the great presentation hints at the deliciousness of all of the plates and appetizers. If you don't have a large stomach, I would definitely recommend splitting something with another person. ANYTHING on the menu is good though. I have not run into an item I have disliked.
The service at Heroes is generally pretty good but the last time I went it was sub par. The tables also tend to be a little sticky but that can be fixed if you ask for a cloth to wipe the table.
Great food, great atmosphere, amazing beer selection, and wonderful location makes Heroes a place that I make everyone go to when they visit Claremont!
